外貌和性格
=====================================
"A sorceress trying to change the world by compressing time and taking power from all sorceresses."
—Scan description
=====================================
“一个试图通过压缩时间并从所有的魔女那里得到力量来改变世界的魔女。”
——粗略看来的描述
=====================================

Ultimecia dons a skin-tight red satin ball gown with a plunging neckline that ends just over the crotch, exposing her neck, chest, stomach and abdomen and only partially obscuring her breasts. A black-fur ruffle travels the edge of the bodice and along the collar; the ruffle rests over her shoulders and covers the junction of her black feathered wings. The hemline extends to drag along the floor. Long red-blouse sleeves join with her taloned hands, which are colored purple.
Her shoulders are padded to extend just beyond her hip-line. Exposed skin (face, torso and legs) are moderately tattooed with lined patterns. Ultimecia wears a gold necklace, earrings and hair jewelery amongst a headdress designed to pull her hair up to resemble horns; silver bangs are left free to frame her face. Ultimecia has yellow eyes set amongst purple eye-shadow and wears deep-red lipstick. She wears no footwear, instead walking (or perhaps flying) barefoot and although Ultimecia has a human appearance her feet resemble those of a beast.
Ultimecia has a definitive sense of style; the interior of her castle is filled with faux-Victorian opulence with an impressive art collection. While possessing Edea Kramer, Ultimecia dresses in a skin-tight violet evening gown with a luxurious feather collar, an ornate headdresses, and a large golden ornament on her back, bedecked with a rose-colored cape. In Deling City, her waiting room is draped with silk curtains, and while in Galbadia Garden, she reclines on a throne designed like a translucent flower, with lights visible through the crystal, similar to the fronds of luminescent sea kelp.
=======================================
阿尔提米西亚穿着一个红色缎制的、有着刚到胯部交末的突进V形领口的紧身晚礼服。她的脖子、胸膛、腹部和下腹部都暴露在外，仅仅遮住了一部分胸部。黑毛沿着上衣和衣领边缘竖起；竖起的毛搭在她的肩上，遮住了她的背与羽毛翅膀的接合处。衣服的底边阔展，在地上拖着。长长的红衣袖与她紫色的魔爪融为一体。她的肩部装了填充物，在臀线外扩展开来。暴露在外的皮肤（脸、躯干和腿）都适当地纹上了线条图案。阿尔提米西亚戴着一个金项链、一对耳坠、被设计成把她的头发束得跟角一样的头饰和耳坠与头饰间的发珠；银色的刘海被撂倒两边框着她的脸。阿尔提米西亚有着黄紫色的眼睛——阴暗深沉——和抹着红色口红的嘴唇。她没有穿鞋，赤脚行走（或者也许是飞行），并且虽然阿尔提米西亚有着人类的外表，但她的脚极像野兽的脚。
阿尔提米西亚有着一种特殊风格的决定性感观；在她的城堡内部，布满了伪维多利亚王朝风格的财富——一些令人印象深刻的艺术收藏。当她占有并操纵伊迪亚·克拉莫的身体时，阿尔提米西亚穿着一个有着豪华羽毛衣领的紫罗兰色的紧身晚礼服，戴着华美的头饰。她的背部是一个巨大的金色装饰物，装饰着玫瑰色的披风。在德林市，她的等待室里挂着丝滑透明的帷幔。在加尔巴迪亚学园时，她倚靠在一个设计成像一个半透明的花一般的王座上。光透过水晶般的王座，好似发着冷光的海藻藻叶。


Story
==================================
故事剧情
==================================
"This is reality. No one can help you. Sit back and enjoy the show."
—Ultimecia
===================================
“这就是事实。没有人能够帮助你。坐回去欣赏这场演出吧。”
——阿尔提米西亚
===================================
Edea, possessed by Ultimecia.
===================================
被阿尔提米西亚控制的伊迪亚。
===================================
Not much is known of Ultimecia's world. The only thing that that is certain is that Ultimecia's castle dominates the landscape and it is implied Ultimecia is the sole ruler of her world, although no other inhabitants of her world are introduced in the game, their fate unknown.
With the use of Junction Machine Ellone Ultimecia sends her consciousness back in time to take possession of Edea Kramer. Ultimecia's plan is to send her mind far enough back in time to be able to cast the Time Compression spell, but the Junction Machine has a limit; in order to get even further back in time she needs to find a girl called Ellone with a natural gift to send people's consciousnesses through time. Ultimecia uses Edea's body to infiltrate the government of Galbadia, quickly rising the ranks until she is appointed to the position of Ambassador of Galbadia by President Vinzer Deling himself.
===================================
我们对阿尔提米西亚的世界知之甚少。唯一可以确定的是阿尔提米西亚的城堡高耸的景色——这暗示着阿尔提米西亚是她的世界里的唯一统治者。虽然，那个世界里的其他居民在游戏里没有被提及，他们的命运是未知的。
借助融合机械艾隆，阿尔提米西亚把她的意识及时地传送到过去，来控制伊迪亚·克拉莫的身体。阿尔提米西亚的计划是，将她的意识传送到那个能够让她释放时间压缩魔法的过去。但是融合机械艾隆有传送的极限；因此为了到达更远的过去，她需要找到那个拥有能让人的意识作时间传送的天赋的、叫做艾隆的女孩。阿尔提米西亚借助伊迪亚的身体来渗入加尔巴迪亚的政府，快速地升到高层的身份，直到她被总统文泽·德林亲自委派到加尔巴迪亚大使的位置为止。

Manifestation
================================
表现
================================
Through entering their minds and forcibly imposing her own will upon them, Ultimecia can effectively turn people into vessels for her to either exist within or simply control externally. The people under her control lose their own will, and are diminished into helpless observers as Ultimecia controls their bodies. As such, it is revealed throughout events within the story that most of the pivotal antagonists of Final Fantasy VIII are either directly possessed or manipulated by Ultimecia as she works towards completing her machinations.
==================================
阿尔提米西亚能通过进入人们的思想，把自己的意愿强加给他们（或存在于其意识中，或简单的表面上的控制），有效地把他们变为她的奴仆。在她的控制之下的人们失去了自己的意志，当阿尔提米西亚控制他们的身体时，他们只能沦为无用的旁观者。同样，通过故事中发生的众多事件可以看出，在最终幻想八中大部分的关键的敌人，都是被为达成阴谋的阿尔提米西亚直接控制或间接操纵的。
==================================

Controlling Edea
=================================
控制伊迪亚
=================================
Edea Kramer is the first known victim of Ultimecia's possession powers. Edea is forced to watch powerlessly while Ultimecia uses her body as a "shell" to begin her time-altering scheme, which culminated when she was promoted to Ambassador of Galbadia by President Vinzer Deling. During her acceptance speech, Ultimecia murdered President Deling and seized his place as ruler over the country. Soon after, she began an extensive search for Ellone as well as a worldwide extermination of all SeeD. However, after being defeated inside Edea's body twice, Ultimecia was forced to give up on this possession. Edea then relinquished her Sorceress Powers to Rinoa, protecting her from any future possessions.
=================================
伊迪亚·克拉莫是已知的第一个阿尔提米西亚的控制力量的受害者。当阿尔提米西亚利用她的身体作为一个开始她那改变时间的计划的“外壳”时，她被迫只能无力地旁观这一切的发生。这场控制在文泽·德林总统把她任命为加尔巴迪亚的大使时达到高潮。在她的就职演讲中，阿尔提米西亚杀害了德林总统，夺取他的位置成为了整个国家的统治者。不久之后，她开始对艾隆进行广泛的搜寻，同时开始了对全世界所有SeeD的歼灭行动。然而，在两次在伊迪亚的身体里被打败后，阿尔提米西亚被迫放弃了这次控制。然后，伊迪亚把她的魔女力量传让给莉诺亚，这样一来她就不会再受来自未来的控制的侵害。
=================================
Controlling Rinoa
=================================
控制莉诺亚
=================================
Rinoa falls victim to Ultimecia's control immediately after she is defeated inside Edea's body. After Ultimecia awakens Seifer, she forces Rinoa into a coma and keeps her in this state until her admittance to the Lunar Base. Upon entering the Lunar Base, Ultimecia awakens within Rinoa and immediately sets out to free Sorceress Adel from her tomb and begin the Lunar Cry.
=================================
在阿尔提米西亚在伊迪亚的身体里被打败后，莉诺亚立刻沦为了被阿尔提米西亚所控制的受害者。在阿尔提米西亚唤醒塞法后，她强迫莉诺亚进入了昏迷并保持在这种状态中，直到她进入月球基地为止。进入月球基地后，在莉诺亚身体里的阿尔提米西亚醒来了。她立刻出发去解除魔女艾德尔的坟墓的封印，并开始了月之泪。
=================================

Controlling Adel
=================================
控制艾德尔
=================================
A short-lived possession, as by now SeeD has caught on to her plan. Ultimecia possesses Sorceress Adel shortly after the mighty tyrant awakens from years of entombment by rebel usurpers. Moments after Ultimecia junctions Rinoa to Adel's body, she is confronted within the body of Adel. After an intense battle, Adel is killed by SeeD operatives, ending Ultimecia's possession of her.
================================
一段短暂的控制，因为到这时SeeD已经识破了她的计划。在这位强大的暴君从叛徒篡位者带来的多年的埋葬中苏醒后，阿尔提米西亚短暂地控制了魔女艾德尔的身体。在在艾德尔身体里的阿尔提米西亚把莉诺亚融合到艾德尔的身体里后不久，她遭遇了敌人。激烈的战斗过后，艾德尔被SeeD特工杀死，结束了阿尔提米西亚对她的控制。
================================

Etymology
==========================
词源
==========================
Ultimecia's name differs depending on the translation. As such it is somewhat difficult to conclude an exact origin.
The Spanish translation's take on the name (Artemisa) could be derived from Artemis, the Greek Goddess of the hunt (also the Goddess of Childbirth, Virginity, Forests,and the Moon), and Zeus and the nymph Leto's controversial child who never married and remained chaste for all her days.
The Italian and German translation's take on the name (Artemisia) calls back to at least three prominent historical women:
Artemisia I of Caria (About 480 BC)
Known as the "Tyrant of Halicarnassus", she fought alongside the Persians in the Battle of Salamis, but survived the battle using an unorthodox tactic; by sinking a friendly Persian vessel which made the Greeks think she was fighting for their side and backed off.
Artemisia II of Caria (About 350 BC)
The wife (and sister) of King Mausolus; she is known in history for her bizarre way of grieving from her husband's death and to memorialize him she had the Mausoleum of Mausolus built, that is known today as one of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World."
Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 – 1653)
A female painter, whose theme in many of her paintings is female strength and sometimes even dominance over men.
It's interesting to note that in Italian culture "Artemisia" is a typical sorceress name.
The word artemisia is the scientific name for wormwood, a poisonous plant from which the drink absinthe is made. This could also reference the star Wormwood mentioned in the Apocalypse of Saint John.
The English and French translations' addition of "Ulti" to the name could be derived from the word, "ultimate." A definition of "ultimate" is to be the furthest or farthest away. Since Ultimecia was assumed to, once time was compressed, possess every Sorceress Power bestowed upon humanity by the Great Hyne, effectively becoming "the Ultimate Sorceress."
Another theory is that her name derives from the spell Ultima. In Spanish Ultima is called "Artema," which also fits with "Artemisa."
