Gender: Female
Species: Human
Height: 5ft nothing
Occupation: Ranger - Knight. She would jokingly answer William handler, but truthfully, she has worked as everything from a seamstress to a maid.
Appearance: Amity is a small, soft woman, with a big, big heart. She looks nothing like her brother, William, with her black corkscrew curls and darker skin, but they do have the same sparkle in their eyes. Amity is not lightly built, she is sturdy but soft, though she has little in the way of muscles. Her hands, however, are roughened from the various jobs she has taken. She has a distinct burn scar on the back of her left hand, shaped like a wobbly L.
Amity usually wears light and colourful, but simple and plain, clothes. Her usual outfit is technically her travel outfit, which consists of a plain white tunic, fastened at her waist with a yellow sash and a belt, from which hang a couple of pouches and bags to carry small things, and a quiver. However, she is always certain never to carry coin in such an obvious place, usually none at all if she can help it. Under the tunic, she wears a pair of black leggings and hardy leather boots. She will sometimes keep her bow slung across her back, but usually that lives in the wagon until she needs it. She doesn't wear a cloak with this ensemble unless the weather demands it. Her belt features an intricate buckle, shaped like a small shield emblazoned with a wolf, which looks to be more expensive than everything else she wears put together.
If Amity stays in one place for a while, she is overjoyed to break out her actual dresses. Her favourite is a lilac ankle-length dress, under a white corset that she embroidered herself with purple flowers, with the same hardy boots. She keeps her belt on at all times, only removing it when she is dressed for a formal occasion. Her formal dress is a forest green dress, covered in a floral pattern, which has elbow length sleeves and a skirt that just barely brushes the floor. But still, the same boots, though she'll usually clean them before wearing them to a formal event.
Personality: Amity lives up to her name. She is a friendly, easy going young woman, though she also doesn't take any nonsense. She's very good at reading people, and extremely caring, almost to a fault. She wants to make sure everyone around her is looked after and comfortable, but she doesn't really think to do that for herself right away. She is very down-to-earth and practical, she doesn't sugarcoat unpleasant things. She and William both share strong moral principles, a set of personal rules their mother taught them, that take heavy inspiration from one of the ancient knight orders that fell apart under the Genius' heel. Amity is a daughter of the earth if ever there was one, she has an immense understanding of nature, especially animal behaviour. She listens to the natural world around her, picks up on signals that others often miss. She also has a quirk that nature itself seems oddly biased in her favour, though she has no magic to speak of, animals are not alarmed by her presence, often trust her instinctively. Amity tries not to bother people if she has problems, though this is slightly hypocritical of her, because she will always try to convince people to let her help with their problems. She is steady and reliable, and a very good listener.
Amity has a habit of worrying about things, especially her brother, and what he might try to do. She doesn't like the Genius any more than he does, but she doesn't think just courage and sheer determination is going to change anything. Amity can be a little awkward at times, she has trouble curbing herself and her emotions, and is also a terrible liar. She doesn't hide things if she can help it, and it's obvious to all and sundry that she is hiding something when she does. However, if she feels like telling what she knows will cause undue pain, she will take it to her grave. Amity has never been much of a fan of cities, too much noise, too much activity, and everyone's always in a rush. People often comment on her use of a bow and arrows, but she has a laundry list of reasons why she, personally, prefers her bow over a gun, especially since she uses it to hunt for food.
Magic/Abilities: Amity has no magic, but she is extremely comfortable and capable in the wilderness. She has been taught various survival skills, and is a very good archer, however she has only ever used archery for hunting. Animals often do not seem threatened by Amity, and she is very good with them.
History: Amity and William have never stayed in one place too long. For as long as Amity can remember, they lived with their mother out of a wagon, with about 7 other small families forming a large nomadic family. While it didn't take the pair long to realise that William was adopted, they agreed at a young age not to acknowledge that fact, treating each other as they had always treated each other. It took much longer for Amity to realise that the way their family lived was not quite normal, that travelling from place to place in old wagons, hiding various antique trinkets, all baring the same coat of arms, amongst them, and practicing swordsmanship, despite the whispers Amity sometimes heard from passerby about it being 'outdated'. She and William had it explained to them when William turned 13, and have since kept the secret to themselves, as their mother and her parents before her did. All anyone needs to know, as far as they're concerned, is that their caravan trundles into town when it needs to, and leaves the same night.
What was the secret? That's for me to know, and you to find out!
