Amara
Age: 17
Appearance: Amara is a slender, leanly muscled woman with dark brown hair, and tanned skin. She wears her hair in a waist length braid that is then tightly curled on her head, OR in a simple, loose braid that tucks easily over her shoulder. When her hair is not braided, it has a slight wave to it, and is generally a bit of a mess, unless she is going somewhere where looking presentable is a must. Her eyes are brown, though they are a mixture of shades, with the primary being fairly dark, and having flecks of lighter shades that seem to shift and sparkle in the light of the moon. She is approximately 5’5” tall, and weighs around 130 pounds.
Facial Features: Amara has an oblong face, with high cheek bones, and almond shaped eyes. Her nose tips up slightly at the end, though not a lot, and her brow line is thin. By these features, it is obvious that she and Princess Evalis are related in some way. Her jaw line, while smooth, shows that her life has not been full of luxury, though her chin comes to a similar point as the princess’s does. Her forehead is mid sized as well, not too long, or too short. Unlike the princess, her lips have seen as much wear as the rest of her body, and often appear to be slightly chapped or worn from chewing at them while focusing.
Clothing Style: Amara wears clothes that are right for the situation that she is in. Be it the brown leather armor that she wears during the spring season, with her dark green cloak, which tends to billow around her, or the solid black attire that she wears during the winter months, complete with a black cloak of the same style. Simply, her winter attire is a tightly fit tunic, outfitted with black leather straps and pads to give her protection, along with loose fitting pants that tuck into her slightly higher than ankle height boots. She wears a pair of black gloves as well, which have been fitted with a grip so that she will not have to fear losing her grip on her weapon. She wears two shortswords, one imbued with the power of ice, the other made of solid cold iron, and having a slight glimmer to it. She tends to wear darker colors, including black, brown, dark blue, and forest green when she is not in her armor.
Attitude: Amara is always calm, regardless of the situation. She is quick to protect those she trusts or has sworn to guard, though if it proves that they have tricked her, she is quick to take her anger out on them. She is an extremely religious woman, revering her goddess, as the speaking force of her life. Because she cannot remember her family, she believes that she was placed into being by her goddess, and is therefore an even stronger believer. She is respectful of all the natural world, and quick to choose to defend it before the beings inhabiting it.
Societal Standing: Amara has never known a life within city walls. She grew up, from what she can remember, in the forest surrounding the Wizard’s Tower, as well as the Kingdom of Corvine, alone with only the wildlife and her goddess. Once she reached an age where she felt she could safely travel, she began to make her way from one city to the next, acting as a guide to travelers, and eventually an adventuring group who become unlikely friends. On one of their travels, she meets a young, solid white wolf with stunning blue eyes. Much like her, the creature had spent its’ life alone, and the two quickly take to each other, becoming permanent companions.
Companion: Amara’s wolf companion is named Rakasha. She is a strong creature, as well as powerfully protective. She guards Amara closely, seeming to be more of a sibling or guardian family member, than simply a companion. Where one is, the other is often very close behind, with the exception of hunting times. While it may seem strange to those who do not understand the relationship between woman and wolf, the two share bed space, Amara getting comfort from the feel of soft fur against her face as she sleeps, and Rakasha watching tentatively over her human companion.
