Amari Nephthys I think things aren't that bad... Stay positive and keep focused! general info
appearance Amari stands at a modest 5’5” with soft facial features and a healthy amount of muscle. Her long, jet black hair which fades into a faint crimson ombre defines Amari's appearance second only to her mismatched steel-blue and olive eyes, although this distinct look is offset wildly by her visibly timid posture and disposition. She has the air of someone who was previously put down a lot, or mocked by those around her, despite the positive attitude towards self-improvement which she shows now. It's likely due to this that a habit of obscuring part of her face behind her long bangs formed too. Amari often opts to wear bright, neutral or pastel coloured clothes, however regardless of this being in an attempt to boost her self esteem, she still doesn't believe she fits in with most people of Lorsette. Amari often wears many more layers than most other people too do due to her racial adversity to the cold, heavily preferring multiple thin layers over larger pieces of attire such as coats, although she still appreciates the comfort from warm winter hoodies and sweaters. Amari often combines this look with thick leggings underneath her preferred lightly-torn jeans, and padded winter boots which go comfortably past her ankles. Perhaps due to her origins, Amari finds gold accessories and ornaments very charming, and will more often than not be seen with at least one or two of these things on her person. Amari tries incredibly hard to appear more social in her choice of clothing, but her posture often belies another story. She has a habit of trying not to take up much space, keeping her hands together in front of her body and her legs together, and subconsciously hiding behind people she trusts if they are better at speaking than her. In human form, Amari doesn’t show many signs of being of Sphinx origin, however on the rare occasion that she manifests her wings, her species can immediately be identified by the intricate golden, and clearly Egyptian in origin structure to her wings. Her feline form takes the shape of a black Egyptian Mau with the same mismatched eyes, which fortunately for her is still on the more subtle end of the scale when it comes to discerning exactly which species she relates to. personality
Amari is a sweet girl who always gives everything her full effort, however more than often she only ends up with sub-par results to show for it; she is incredibly strict with herself and sometimes even others, but her softness easily counteracts most of the pushing power she might have to motivate people. Despite the lack of results received from her incredible work ethics and strong morals, Amari is incredibly easy to rely on and trust, and you can always count on her to help you out if you need assistance with something- very often without even being asked. Amari is incredibly loyal towards her friends, needless to say. She is also extremely friendly to everyone, though she tends to keep her emotions bottled up inside. This makes her somewhat reserved when interacting with others, but she does tend to smile at the right times. Amari is very open minded and accepting when it comes to different lifestyles, though this might be because she has never really had many close friends who have accepted her until recently. Amari rarely manifests her wings or uses sand manipulation out of paranoia of descrimination, however she is much more relaxed when it comes to her feline form, and uses it regularly in her downtime or while navigating busy streets quickly. Due to her kind and helpful nature, and ability to work more efficiently when she feels like like she isn’t being judged, Amari is incredibly good at dealing with children. They naturally bring out her ability to act more mature and confident, which results in her performing better when she works as a part-time paediatric nurse. Amari will almost always put others before herself, but her lack of confidence often results in her not expecting the same in return. abilities Feline Shifting This is the skill Amari has the most experience with, and moving in this form is incredibly natural for her. If you took any healthy cat as a baseline, Amari would easily be on par with what they are capable of, and perhaps even slightly surpassing them in dexterity and speed (although she personally doesn't consider it very special). Enhanced Speed (Feline form only) Amari has spent so much time in this form that even despite her usual lack of stamina, she has been able to push her feline speeds to the absolute limit for brief periods of time- and can even slightly surpass the average max speed of her species if she puts her mind to it (although it's duration is considerably lower than average in contrast). This puts quite a lot of strain on her body though so it is used incredibly sparingly; most commonly activated when late for her part-time job... Sand Manipulation Amari is out of practice when it comes to this skill. As she currently is, Amari is able to form solid objects out of sand, however their density is considerably lacking and can easily be broken apart with a minimal amount of physical force. This will only get worse as time goes on, as Amari no longer has sand readily available to her- Amari's ability to conjur sand out of thin air is basically non-existant. Wings Manifestation Amari is able to manifest her wings without trouble, but her ability to fly is sub-par due to a lack of recent usage. Amari doesn’t trust her stamina with long flights, however she feels comfortable enough to cover short distances and minor height differences, using her wings as a movement boost in controlled conditions, and gliding. Using them in tense situations is pretty much out of the question for her due to her panic-induced reduction in cognitive processing, unless it’s a life or death situation. Her flight speed is slightly slower than your average sphix. Healing Amari has been training this particular skill a lot, since it’s one of the few things she is proud about being able to do relatively well, and she won’t have any trouble with healing minor wounds efficiently. She has a tendency to sabotage herself due to imposter syndrome when it comes to larger wounds however, even though her powers are generally greater than she gives herself credit for. backstory Amari's life could be summarized as an endless cycle of failing at something, trying even harder, and then failing again. As a child, her parents certainly loved her very much- as did her older sister. Unfortunately, as time passed, it became more evident that Amari drew the short end of the stick when it came to good fortune. Her older sister was incredibly successful at everything she tried, whereas Amari was constantly put down and ridiculed by other people for failing to follow in her sister’s footsteps. Eventually, this negative stigma even found its way into her own family after Amari’s sister became a well known entrepreneur in their home region. As a result, she became hyper aware of her own mistakes and shortcomings. She constantly felt the need to prove herself to everyone around her, which ultimately resulted in some minor form of perfectionism and a laser focus on finding something to call her own. She decided to forge her own way in life, throwing away the ideals set by her parents, giving up on following in her sister’s footsteps, and focusing on improving her self-proclaimed “only talent” of healing. Fortunately, Amari and her elder sister had a bond of trust that could never be broken, regardless of the gap people created between them. They are both very proud of one another for many reasons, and nothing could stand between them. Upon turning 16, Amari decided to freeze her appearance at this age to signify her own independence, and left her family home to devote herself to studying healing and medical training in an attempt to maximise her proudest talent. Three years later, Amari makes her debut in Lorsette College, and gets recommended to Lorsette Hospital where she now works as a part-time paediatric nurse. Generally speaking, she is very happy with where she is now, but still realises there is a long way to go on her ever-growing path of self improvement. Her relationship with her parents has since been patched up. misc - Amari has an addiction to excessively sweetened coffee, but will refuse to admit it. Vanilla latte is her absolute favourite. - She doesn't have a love of pets, but it’s not like she dislikes them either. - Amari loves snakes. A lot. She thinks they’re super adorable, but just not adorable enough to want one as a pet. - Her ability to misinterpret situations or words is way higher than it should be. - Romance has never been on Amari’s mind due to her lack of confidence and self-awareness. It probably won’t happen but... Maybe? - Nicknames for her in the past have varied considerably. Ami, Mari, Mary, Nep, Nephy... Anything is fair game and she won't often complain about it, even if it's something unique. | roleplayer info ☆ NAME Lini ☆ RP EXPERIENCE 8 Years ☆ TIMEZONE +0 GMT ☆ GENDER Koi ☆ AGE 23 ☆ OTHER CHARACTERS n/a ☆ FACE CLAIM OC, Drawn by 依絵 ---------------------- THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO LINI.
