__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical DescriptionAmaya is actually quite a beautiful woman, with jet black hair tipped in scarlet red, smooth tan skin, and bright emerald eyes. However, it is her more unusual traits that usually draw one's attention, such as the five small horns crowning her brow, the claws that tip her fingers, and the reptilian slit to her pupils.
As the next leader of her village, Amaya is constantly aware of how she presents herself, and as such she carries herself with a certain grace and makes an effort to dress in clean, relatively fine clothes.
PersonalityAmaya has trained herself to be the perfect example of grace and poise, with a charming smile and kind eyes. Still, no matter how demure and polite she is, she is undeniably
other, and it shows in the way people treat her.
So she has become secluded, a loner amidst crowds. If you asked her, she'd say she was perfectly content with her lot.
Magic/AbilitiesA life or "spirit" mage, Amaya's powers most closely resemble that was a shaman, allowing her to heal- body and spirit- in addition to giving her the ability to astral project (though as of yet this only happens when she's asleep).
She also has an affinity for strong, primal water magic, but she almost never uses it as it is viewed as going against the natural laws. Still, her magic is a part of her, and she has a strong fascination with it, despite the fact that she can only explore her abilities in secret.
RelationshipsIchiko Akira and Emiko, her parents and the leaders of her village.
She knows every single member of her community, but they only really know her as "Chosen", not as Amaya- and so she doesn't really have many friends.
Mizaak, her personal guard and companion.
HistoryWhen Amaya's mother, one of the leaders of their village, tried and failed many times to get pregnant, she and Akira turned to less conventional methods: they sought out a mountain witch who was rumored to live in the center of their island.
The trek was long and perilous, but Akira and Emiko climbed the mountain and found the witch's home. They entreated her for some cure, some way for Emiko to bear a child, and the witch offered the answer. She brewed a potion, and instructed Emiko to drink it under the next full moon, and for that night she would be "made ripe for a child".
Her parents followed the instructions, and sure enough Amaya was conceived. When she was born, needless to say, there was some...surprise.
Still, conceived in magic and raised to lead, Amaya was, and still is, treasured in her community. Despite this, there remains a sort of distance between herself and the people of her village, even her parents, which has only grown stronger as her shamanistic abilities have begun to manifest.
