Astrid West, KF x Artemis Daughter
Astrid West is a tough, no-nonsense girl. She’s not afraid to pick a fight with others to protect the innocent. Most of the time, her strive to be a hero stops her from living a regular, civilian life. She’s the type of person who always wears leather jackets and combat boots.
Due to a traumatic event, Astrid has trouble trusting others, and prefers to do things alone. She can be pretty violent when she fights, but it depends on her emotions and how dangerous her opponent is.
Astrid chose to take the mantel of Artemis because she admires her mother. She specializes in archery, gymnastics, and hand-to-hand combat. Her interest and training in archery began when she was six, and grew skilled enough to shoot an arrow blindfolded or with her feet. Athletics is Astrid’s strong point since she is the star player on the track and gymnastics team. She has been offered to attend a school for future Olympic competitors.
Along with her best friend Gwendolyn, Astrid loves dogs. Gwen and her are “mothers” to two dogs named Carla and Gino. When it comes to the two girls’ relationship, they see each other as best friends and sisters. Gwendolyn is the only person who could weaken Astrid’s walls, and get her to listen.
"Why are there so many female archers in fiction?"
Please forgive the clickbait-y title! This is a super complex and interesting topic that I barely scratch the surface of here, but I hopefully will be able to do more justice to things like this in the future!
Also, it's not the point of the video, but I had fun with the outfits in this- do you have any faves?

All that crazy, and this guy still uses a bow better than me!🤣
Spent the last two days working on this little archery guide in art and writing. Considering the rise in popularity of archers in pop culture this hopefully comes in handy for a bunch of fandoms.
I did some more fantasy archery trope testing. This time the arrow stabby thing!
Why do we segregate sports by sex?
Disclaimer: this video was intended as a fun look at the inconsistent logic of gender segregation in sports, but as a short-form video, it naturally does not go into much nuance. One thing I want to make clear is that I do believe we should be making sports more inclusive to trans and intersex athletes, and it seems to me that a great starting point would be to stop gender segregating sports that really don’t need it. Like archery!

There's a new video!
Lars Anderson: A New Level of Archery
Lars Anderson studied historical manuals and rediscovered an ancient and extremely fast way of firing arrows from a bow, making icons like Legolas and Katniss look like slugs.
He trained himself to be able to perform such feats as firing three arrows in less than a second, catching an arrow and firing it back, splitting an oncoming arrow in two, and basically debunking all the lies hollywood has fed us about “ultimate archery skills”
