Orientation: Pansexual
Birthdate: December, Year 307
Breed(s): Saluki
Variant: Esper (nnTEta)
Mutation: N/A
Played by: Nony
Appearance
Height: 23.5 inchesBuild: Long-bodied, sleek, deep chest, feminine, graceful, leggy
Description:
At twenty-three and a half inches tall, Amaryllis is tall and leggy, though lacks heavy muscle. Her body is long and curved, providing a more aerodynamic form. Her chest is deep, though it narrows quickly, tapering moderately into strong hips for galloping and jumping. Her head is narrow and slim, with a long muzzle and shiny black nose at the end. Her eyes are hooded with thick lashes, often looking quizzical or casting a more far-off look.
Amaryllis is covered in cream-colored fur looking golden in the sunlight. The cream is darker on her ears, back, and tail. It’s lighter elsewhere, light enough to nearly be white. The texture is soft and silky, especially where it feathers out on her ears, the backs of her legs, and tail. Her body is free from blemishes and scars. On top of her head is a pair of small, pastel blue colored horns. Her eyes are a bright, amber color, sometimes glowing that very color, especially in the darkness.
She usually wears a soft, leather strap around her neck. It’s usually removed at night, though kept close. It’s worth little in actual trade, though it carries a lot of memory and meaning.
Personality
Skills: Intelligent, agile, speedy, diplomaticAbilities: Mood Manipulation, Telekinesis
Description:
Amaryllis carries a gentle soul, being rather sweet and kind, though is far from naïve or innocent to the way the world works. Her intelligence is high and she loves to learn more of the world.
Her feelings for others are genuine and pure, though she does not dive easily into friendships or even relationships. She’s careful with getting to know others, holding up a wall. It can be frustrating for others that want to get to know her more and even frustrating for herself. She knows that not everyone will hurt her, but it’s easier to maintain loose friendships. Sometimes, when she’s comfortable, she can get a little flirty and open.
She’s intelligent, basing the choices she makes on logic rather than emotion. Amaryllis knows better than to associate with those who make her uncomfortable or go against the ideals she stands for. She’s quick-witted and resourceful, but it doesn’t always make for a good fighter. Amaryllis hates violence and while she’s quick and agile, her methods are evasive rather than offensive. She tries avoiding fights through diplomacy, knowing she doesn’t have the ability to fight well.
She’s exceptionally calm in most situations, carrying a level-head on her shoulders. She’s capable of keeping her composure on the outside, but it doesn’t necessarily mean she’s calm on the inside. Things that worry her tend to stick with her and it’s hard to take her mind off of those worries sometimes.
The anxiety she experiences is sometimes near crippling. When Amaryllis becomes uncomfortable or frightened, it easily trips a panic attack. While she has methods to overcome it, sometimes there’s no stopping it.
History
Lineage:Father: Donovan | Augment | Saluki | alive
Mother: Wisteria | Esper | Saluki | deceased
Sibling(s): Asher | Esper | alive – location unknown
Background:
When Donovan and Wisteria were blessed with their first pup, a male named Asher, in June of Year 305, it was the greatest joy they ever experienced. Wisteria’s illness left her fertility low and the couple had been trying for years. When Asher’s nubs grew in at two months, they were both overjoyed. The couple lived quietly in Goss Mountains with their son. Donovan hunted regularly for his family and Wisteria began to prepare her son for his powers. The little family was complete in their minds.
It was two years later when Donovan and Wisteria were blessed with another pup. Amaryllis was born in the middle of December of 307. They hadn’t planned on having another pup. Asher was traveling out a lot more and was thinking of moving down toward the Southlands. Amaryllis was so tiny, but she was strong of heart.
In the first few months, she wasn’t able to leave their home often. The weather outside was snowy and harsh. Her parents talked a lot of leaving the mountains, finding somewhere warmer to live. However, they loved their home too much. This was where they raised their firstborn and this is where they would stay.
When Amaryllis grew over eight months, her powers began to develop slowly. It started with pushing objects here and there. Sometimes, when her father was agitated with her brother, he would mention feeling a little calmer around her. Amaryllis thought it was simply because she was like her mother, level-headed and calm, but her mother knew it was different. Soon enough, she was feeling overwhelmed with what she could do.
It was easy finding a path. Amaryllis started focusing on her two strongest abilities, knowing they would be useful in time. She had no thoughts of manipulating others, knowing that Espers were quite capable of espionage or deceit.
Her mother took a sudden turn come Amaryllis’s second year. It was unexpected, leaving her family shaken. They knew she had an illness, sometimes she needed to rest and anything too exertive was hard on her body. It developed into something scary. Her mother was growing sicker, unable to stand for long or even do things like eat or drink. They tried seeking her help, but by the winter of 309 her mother was gone.
Asher left, unable to stay on the mountain. Her father had a hard time, forgetting to take care of himself, so Amaryllis stayed. It was a few days after Wisteria’s death, her father gave her the black leather strap that Wisteria always wore. He wanted her to leave, to find her place in the world. Finding herself unable to argue with him, she left and she’s been travelling ever since.
