Profile
Amira Holt
Summary
As an ex-Lone Star officer, Amira swears she was only briefly part of the workforce. She quickly realized that she had a higher personal standard than what the job called for and eventually ditched with some upgrades once she built up the courage to “quit”.
How she became a runner after that is a bit of a mystery. Taking unsteady work through random security gigs and a mountain of odd-jobs eventually bled into proper runs before Amira had time to react and change course. Over her short-lived career, however, she's grown used to the lifestyle. It's far from posh but it's more freedom & excitement than she's ever had before which is a thrill in-and-of itself.
Off the clock, Amira prides herself on her work ethic and dedicates a lot of time to endless training and practice to push herself, almost as if out of spite. She struggles with her self-image and will often instead choose to either focus on helping others or dive into distractions rather than face her own problems.
Over the past half year, Amira's life as a runner has been particularly busy. She's crossed metaplanes, gone toe-to-toe with vicious spirits (and a god), and managed to land a spot on a permanent team.

Stats
As the only streetsam, Amira is the main muscle on her team and naturally shines brightest in combat situations. While she generally prefers a nonlethal approach, her skill with a pistol is deadly accurate and she doesn’t hesitate to shoot when she feels it's necessary.

Reference
Amira is a Seattle-born woman with Japanese-American heritage. She has dark-brown eyes, black, often disheveled hair (which is currently bleached blonde), and a light skin tone. She sports a dark, olive-green tattoo on her left cheek. Most of her right arm is obviously cybernetic. Her fashion style is best described as somewhere between “street” and “jock”, however calling it "a mess" is just as accurate. She often leans more toward a civilian style of the fashion (i.e. mock-cotton tees, tanks, pleather jackets, hoodies, and loose or athletic-styled pants).
- Amira's hair is naturally black or dark, dark, brown. For one run, the Team decided to use Amira as a decoy and disguised her with mundane methods which, unfortunately for her, included a haircut and color bleaching (but she's beginning to enjoy the look). Despite the color change, her hair is as messy as ever.
- Amira has several tattoos: the lines on her left cheek; a red rose (with freshly added fairy wings) on her back above her right hip; and a small rendition of The Great Wave off Kanagawa on the inside of her left ankle.
- Most of her scars are from surgery, the main exception being the burn scar on her right side and what's left of her right arm.

Relationships
Name: Helios (26)
Relationship: Distant
Bond:
Once, Amira's closest friend on the Team. His decisions have since wounded her trust & admiration for him on a personal level and Amira now keeps their relationship strictly professional, refusing to talk to him directly outside of jobs. Helios seems to be unaware of her cold-shouldering him.
Name: Sneakers (20)
Relationship: Friendly/Honorary Sibling
Bond:
Amira has grown to care a lot about Sneakers and often subconsciously treats him like a little brother. She frequently plays along with his antics and will also tease him relentlessly. She considers him a skilled and capable runner on the job but acknowledges his general immaturity and youth can and does get the better of him.
Name: Wraith (37)
Relationship: Friendly
Bond:
Their relationship has had its ups and downs, but Amira has settled into a friendly relationship.
Name: Baltana (7586)
Relationship: N/A (ex-Girlfriend)
Bond:
Amira's "first love" (as she loathes to admit aloud) & first serious relationship. A once-sparking relationship, Amira & Baltana broke up mutually after Amira confessed to sleeping with someone else for one night. Baltana suddenly cut herself out of Amira's life just before one Christmas and hasn't been seen or heard from since.
