Our souls are buried in the earth and we are just their shadows.
Amaranth is an Esk who keeps her heart and being guarded, with a constant yearning and feeling of loss. She rarely rests, and often paces and circles her boundary, driven by her lingering emotions. While capable of interacting with other Esks, she often seems distant, distracted or even sombre. She greatly dislikes being away from her boundary. Should she leave, the yearning to return and wait in the garden ruins grows too powerful to ignore, forcing her to always return, with the fear she will miss....something...
Inventory
Amaranth currently has two items in her inventory as accessories. One is a small glass swan that is cracked along the left side. It was once a sculpture she had in her previous life that would sit on her windowsill and cast light reflections within her room. The other item is an Amatrine crystal cluster she recieved some time ago after giving a gift of transformation to bring forth another Esk. For now, Amaranth is seeking out an old glass hairpin she used to wear, but has yet to find it amongst the ruins of her boundary.
Original Form
Amaranth was once a young maiden who was betrothed to a young prince. However, before they could be wed, a war fell upon their land, and the prince was called forward in his duties to defend his home. He never returned, and in the following months after his assumed death, Amaranth succumbed to her grief and sadness, where she was transformed into the Esk she is today.
Anyone is free to draw Amaranth! Just keep in mind that the fluffy part around her neck is fur, not wings or feathers! It also connects behind her head and is not parted. Think of it as a kind of weird neck pillow but made of fluffy fur.
Amaranth doesn't really mind other Esks! She will interact if the situation calls for it, and she is very soft spoken and polite. She is also just under 4 feet tall at the top of her head.
A long forgotten palace garden is Amaranth's boundary and final resting place for her previous life. She spent many days in this garden with her former lover, and became fond of the Prince's Feather flowers that grew in vast numbers within the many planters. Upon the new that he would never return, Amaranth spent countless hours and days in the garden, laying amongst the flowers and leaves as she longed to see him again.
Amaranthus hypochondriacus, also known as Prince's Feather is a type of Amaranth flowering plant with deep wine or burgundy colored flowers that are feathery in appearance. They were Amaranth's favorite plant in her previous life, and hold a strong connection to her memories of her lost love. She is quite protective of her nature feature, and much prefers other Esks to not touch them, as it makes her very uncomfortable.
