Appearance
- As Princess of Lias*
When Amara had to make an appearance before the people of Lias with her Mother and Father she wore a royal blue gown with small pale white sequins around the edges. She wears a pearl necklace with a dark blue pendant at the center. Her shoes are made of a rare leather covered with topaz jewels. Her hair is pinned up and she wears no crown, she chooses not to so as to not show her status but to remind the people that she "equal" to them. Her wardrobe is made up of many different garments but she never actually wore more than just a few items because her parents never let her go very far outside of the castle.
Her vocabulary implies that she is educated, though to keep her identity a secret she tries to speak like "everyone else." She has a birth mark on her right cheek that if looked at very carefully is shaped like a heart.
Any of the wardrobe of hers was left behind and she arrived with only a cowl that her hand maiden created for her. The look of it is a pale blue color, the robe is torn and weathered from her wearing it for so long. Mostly all of her accessories are mismatched to keep up her "common" appearance in her mind and she has little to no make up.
General Demeanor
Amara is very gullible or lacks life experience due to her parents never actually letting her step foot outside of the land of Lias. She never got a chance to explore anything beyond the borders of the land she comes from and has heard very little tales of anything. Because of the restrictive life imposed on her, Amara has a vast thirst for knowledge. She'll listen to pretty much anything and take it at face value and believe it to be the truth. She depended on many people in her kingdom that watched over her but now that she is looking to find her own strength.
She is approachable and asks a ton of questions but only within the area of conversation that she is talking about. She has a lot of experience to gain. Growing up she would always see various knights guarding the castle and she was always told by her best friend, Lya that she would one day marry a knight who would help her rule the kingdom of Lias and the people would thrive. So every adventurer she comes across that proclaims to be a "hero" Amara puts a little trust in.
Relationships
Father: King Manco Elisse XXV - The king of Lias, a fair man who watched over his kingdom with a kind heart and wise mind. He always dreamed of having a son or daughter to over see the kingdom passed down to him by his own father and mother who love the land of Lias. When he found out his wife would have trouble conceiving he started to harden his heart as he believed he was being punished by the Gods. Then he found out his wife actually became pregnant and he believed his suffering was over. Until "The Seer" of the royal family told him that he would lose his throne and power to his daughter unless he were to take her power first.
Mother: Queen Ramia Elisse - The queen of Lias, Queen Ramia comes from a family of Arcanist users. She gave up her magic upon her family being persecuted for their abilities and killed if they did not bend to their enemies demands. She was offered to the then Prince of Lias in exchange for the family to leave in peace. As a result Ramia fell in love with Manco as he was much more kind than she thought he would be and knew that he would be the man who would love and protect her always. As time went on Ramia was told that she would never be able to carry a child to term. She was corrected by the seer who told her that she would in fact produce an heir but that the child would determine the future of the kingdom and the prosperity of the throne.

Classes/Jobs
Archer - Amara had never imagined doing anything with a bow and arrow. She didn't think she possesed the skill. Her focus and reflexes though proved otherwise. Not exactly her first choice but she keeps the skills she gained in her mind.
Black Mage - Once just a thaumaturgy disciple, Amara's gift to wield aether really took off as she focused and applied her self. Her power grew much quicker than she anticipated and there are times she has trouble controlling the strength of her spells. At times then, right when she is about to cast her spell it comes out much smaller. This darker magic both scares and excites her.
Conjurer - Amara's Thaumaturgy was overwhelming her spirit. She wished to bring destruction to anyone and anything that stood in her way. The void was starting to possess her more and more by the day. She saw a woman who was practicing conjury and she approached her and demanded she tell her about her skill and the woman told her about the power of uniting with nature. Something awoke within Amara and now, while fighting the seductive power of thaumaturgy, she is attempting to learn more about healing.
Summoner - While on a mission, Amara found a book that she could of sworn was calling out to her and she read some of its contents aloud and pressed her hand into the book and she received a vision of a blue creature of light asking her what she commanded. This made Amara curious and so secretly she pursues the dead art of summoning magic. It's starting to be more appealing than her thaumatruge duties....
Rogue - Amara was worried about relying solely on her magic to protect her. In the event her parents succeed somehow in taking her magic from her she needs to be able to still provide strength. She heard about a secret society that will not only keep her secret but that will teach her the skills she needs to be both secretive and strike both quickly and skillfully.
Friends/Relationships
♥ Lya Devereaux - Lya was Amara's handmaiden, confidante and dearest friend. She overheard the plot to steal Amara's magical energies and helped Amara escape to the land of Hydaelyn. Unfortunately, they were separated shortly after arriving and while looking for Amara was attacked by a bounty hunter who tortured and executed and left for Amara to find.
♥ 'Lynx': - Met Amara's first night at the Harbinger's Estate. Amara sensed a fierceness about the woman who was only known as Lynx. Amara believed she could entrust her with her identity and to help her find her friend Lya. Lynx executed the man who killed her friend and Amara will always be grateful for the justice Lynx served on her behalf. She considers Lynx one of the few people she can truly trust and often goes to her for advice.
♥ Alexander Gomez: - Amara met Alexander during the Blessing of Harlone. Her small coeurl cat took an instant liking to him and Amara knew she could talk to him. Upon having a conversation with him and watching him partake in the ceremony Amara felt a feeling she had never felt before, romantic feelings. If ever asked about him she always replies "...There is just something about him." Amara believes that Alexander could be the "Knight" that was foretold of to be the Protector of the land
♥ Worren Tigre - Worren saved Amara's life. While lost in the cold region of Coerthas about to freeze to death, Worren found Amara and heard her story about looking for her friend Lya. After that he escorted her back to the Harbingers of Dawn estate where Amara began to call her second home. Ever since that day Amara has held Worren in high regard and will trust him with her life any day.
History/Timeline
Amara was born the heir to the Kingdom of Lias. King and Queen Elisse were unable to produce an heir for quite some time and were told it would never come to pass but by way of some miracle Amara was born. A woman by the name of "The Seer" was the closest of advisers to the royal court and did fortell Amara's birth. However the seer also foretold that her arrival would be more of a curse than a blessing. Amara was born with a high potential to wield aether. Higher than most and that her power was going to become a hazard that would eventually lead to the demise of both of her parents unless her powers were stripped before she could come to understand them. Overwhelmed with both fear and sorrow on their newly born daughter, Amara's parents decided to outlaw any sort of practice of magics and anyone caught using any time of aether inspired skills would be executed. So as Amara grew up she never came to know about the properties of magic or what aether is.
As Amara grew up she learned the basics of what it meant to be royalty. She was taught proper grammer and the way a Princess should behave herself but Amara always felt her parent's distance. She figured it was because they were always so busy and so she would immerse herself in books to pass her time. When Amara turned 21 she started having violent dreams in which men dressed in red and black cloaks were chanting and she could feel her life force being sucked out of her body. She would wake up in a cold sweat, her skin would be cold to the touch after having such dreams and then she would calling for her handmaiden and dearest friend Lya. It was her friend Lya who found it strange that she would keep having the same dream but only every full moon. So Lya began to investigate anything the King and Queen might know and she overheard that the King and Queen were meeting with the Seer who told them that she was having Amara's aetheral energy drained from her body and that soon their worries would be over. The Seer did not mention that Amara would die in the process but the King and Queen wanted nothing more than to keep their power on the throne and with Amara's magical energies they would have more than enough power to rule their land.
Lya, concerned for Amara's well being told her of her families plot and told her that the Seer is likely to be behind the whole plan. Amara did not want to believe it and confronted her parents who in turn decided to lock Amara in the castle and not allow her to set foot from her room unless for appearances to the people and if she tried to tell anyone about what was going on they would kill Lya and Amara. Amara went back to Lya and together they planned to escape the kingdom. Lya was able to pay a man to give her passage to a land she'd heard about and that Amara read about called Hydaelyn. This land was full of the answer they needed and it was there that Amara was going to fulfill her destiny of coming into her powers and fulfilling her birthright and then her dreams.
Adventure to Hydaelyn
The hour was late. The moon shined bright bathing the castle grounds with it’s pale glow. Amara laid asleep, her leg chained to a bed post. Destined to meet her fate at dawn. Her parents, the King and Queen of Lias were going to remove her power of aether and kill her in the process out of concern of a prophecy that put fear in their hearts. Unbeknownst to this happening Amara simply believed her parents wished to use her as a tool.
Lya, Amara’s faithful handmaiden was walking down the hall to the royal bed chamber and over heard the King and Queen discussing their wicked plan. They had to kill their daughter and take her Aetheral energy if they were to keep the throne, keep the prophecy from coming true and obtain the power they needed to keep the Kingdom intact. Lya was mortified. She slipped away to Amara’s room and woke her out of her slumber and informed her of her parents wicked plan. Amara was devastated. She knew what needed to be done. She had to flee the castle and find out why her parents were so threatened by this “magick”. And so Lya went and fetched what robes she could and gave them to Amara and told her to act as one of the servant girls. Lya was able to pick the lock which bound Amara and together the two were able to make it to the castle gate at which point the guards approached Lya and Amara asking where they were going at such a late hour. Simply stating they were off to fetch rags for the castle but one of the guards began to approach Amara wondering why she would not make eye contact when suddenly one guard knocked the other out. This guard was aware of the royal family’s plan and believed in the Princess. He told Lya and Amara of a man willing to give passage to a land where Amara could learn about her strange powers. The land is called Hydaelyn.
Lya and Amara made it to the docks where they talked to a ship captain who was willing to smuggle the Princess and her handmaiden to where they wanted to go with the proper compensation. With that as the sun began to creep over the horizon, Amara and Lya were on their way to Hydaelyn and their worlds were to be forever changed.
