Name: Amaranth
Age: 20 years
Year Added: Year One, Age 16
Rank: Angel Bond
Appearance: About 5'6", Amaranth has short, strangely blue
hair and blue eyes. Her ears are another strange thing about her- they're pointed. (They used to be very long as well, but she shortened them with magic.)
Personality: Amaranth get things done through the power of her emotional commitment. Not only does she aggressively work to accomplish the goals inspired by her own feelings, she also knows how to appeal to the emotions of others. By making other people feel like family members, she effectively motivates others to get things done. She has to learn how to reach an emotional balance since she tend to be overly sensitive and moody. She is creative and romantic, emotional and loving, intuitive and imaginitive, protective and sympathetic, and shrewd and cautious. She apologises for everything, has a tendency to be overkind to anyone she happens to meet (and is therefore rather easily taken advantage of until she realizes what's going on... then she kicks you ass... don't worry, she'll feel horribly guilty later and apologize profusely.) She does have wild, random mood swings. Don't ever call her afraid, because it's really the one thing that makes her angry.
History: She was born to unknown parents and abandoned- or, at least, that's what she thought. In reality, she is an experiment- another one by Eris. Half dragon, half human, she was cast out, her memories of the Collective wiped, when it was descovered that she was hopelessly sentimental and her spirit was too strong to be broken into submission. Brought up as a servant, she fell hopelessly in love with a noble boy who, amazingly, loved her in return. Unfortunately, he was engaged to another girl. When the two were caught together... well... she's never told anyone what happened, but it was bad, and involved fire. A lot of fire. Even though she's never told, I am at my liberty to give this secret away, and I will. For a very long time she had been called a witch, a freak, a monster, and had been exploited and abused by residents of the castle in which she lived, including by a group of boys who made an attempt to drown her in a lake after catching her collecting firewood and a group of girls who did the same in the stream where she was washing laundry. When she and Japheth, the lord, were discovered in friendly company, it was declared that "the witch had seduced the young lord with magiks unknown and the disease of the magik had to be purged from the inhabitants of the castle." And so the entire servants' quarters was burned, along with all the servants- including the one person who had ever cared for Amaranth: Ori, a kindly elder cook. Miserable and alone, Amaranth ran away and ended up at the Guild.
Personal Element: Water
Pets: Ocean dragon Naphtali (called Naph, female), Aris Aretus Moonbeam (called Squishy, female)
Fighting Style: She ususally stays back so that she can use her bow and arrows. If it gets close-range, she can use some basic hand-to-hand and magic. The magic she uses is actually advanced- does she know it? No. Don't tell her. She thinks she's a beginner. She recently made public her ability to transform into a man-sized dragon, which of course allows for special abilities, including flight, superb strength, incredible speed, and (an ability she hasn't yet discovered) the ability to spit poison and acid.
Weapon(s) of Choice: Longbow and arrows, she can also use the crossbow but not as well, hand-to-hand if she can't use her bows. Don't ask her to use a sword, though- she's so talented she cuts her sword hand. Magic. She has a wild, erratic talent for it that doesn't seem to follow the conventional rules. It makes you wonder why she never figured out how to use it before... (the reason is that she was afraid of being labled a witch again.) Her natural draconic abilities are also put to use if the situation is dire enough.
Spirit Name: Syrene
Spirit Type: Angel
Spirit Personality: Syrene is helpful and gentle with the
helpless, empathetic and sympathetic, humane, health conscious, charming and witty, affectionate and dedicated. On a less positive note, she is also critical of laziness in others, demanding, untidy, somewhat a hypochondriac, moody, eccentric, and often anxious. She has an unfortunate tendency to be hyperactive if in the same room as anyone who might have laid eyes on sugar in the past year (which is pretty much everyone) and can't stop quarreling with Naphtali.
Spirit Combat Traits: Syrene battles using her superior swordplay and knifeweilding. She uses to her advantige her ability to fly and Light magic. Strangely enough, she also seems to be able to use Water. Not near as well as her bonded, but well enough. In a desperate situation she will resort to her unique talent of flying away really quickly.
