About

TITLE: Shadowweaver

HALO: Shadow and Flame

Amaranth is a no-bullshit type of person who tends to react to most situations with biting sarcasm. She's as stubborn as a mule, and rather blunt. She wastes no time getting to the point. Her stubbornness is also a boon. She's utterly incorruptible; it's almost impossible to manipulate her into doing anything she doesn't agree with. Amaranth is also diehard loyal, and viciously protective of her loved ones. In a chaotic world, Amaranth is a rock of reason. She is incredibly trustworthy; you can depend on her for anything. If someone she cared for came to her for aid, she'd drop everything to help them out. If she makes a promise, you could stake your life on her following through with it. Like, the queen of self control. She very rarely does anything out of  impulse. Whatever internal logic she runs on is, however, a complete mystery to everyone else. She's kind of a wild card; it can be difficult to predict what she'll do next in any given situation. She's rather sociable, and typically enjoys hanging around other people. Even if she doesn't always contribute to the conversation, she likes the energy that being around others gives her. She's very competitive, and loves a good challenge. She'll take the weirdest, most off the wall jobs just to prove she can pull them off. Amaranth is just kind of an intense person all around. She feels a lot of emotions very strongly, and that tends to put people off. She's a very 'talk shit get hit' type of person. Her tone of voice makes it sound like she's always out for blood, but that's (usually) far from the case. Loves wholly and shamelessly. She tends to bounce between hyperfixations at a frankly alarming rate. She's dipped her toes into pretty much every sort of crafting hobby at some point. If it involves working with her hands, then she's had an interest in it.

BIO

Amaranth is the oldest in a set of triplets. She inherited the majority of her mother's, Glides Through Snow, shadow sorcery heritage. Where her younger brothers only inherited sparse traits, Amaranth got the whole enchilada. She trained under Glides in order to better harness her inherent power, including accompanying her mother to the Shadowfell whenever she goes. Amaranth, like the rest of her family, is in the business of creation, but unlike them, she turned to a field beyond food and drink. Amaranth works as an enchanter and arcane blacksmith in the city of Proudspire. She realized that, while she loves baking, she doubted that she would  have been truly happy if she'd take it up as a profession. So she became the apprentice to a local smith as a young adult, where she stayed until her mentor deemed her worthy of running a forge of her own. With her studies complete for now, Amaranth founded her own smithy, The Cobalt Forge. While most of her business lies in weapons and armor, she also creates objects with very niche magical uses, like self heating knives and temperature regulating platemail. She is capable of more potent enchantments, but it's what she has the most fun with.

Trivia

  • Incredibly good with kids, she's the perfect blend of responsible and fun.
  • She's trans, she and Alistair traded names when they came out to each other. She's quietly happy that her deadname wasn't just scrapped.
  • Has a secret love for scrap-booking.
  • Favors fire as a secondary element. The raw power of flame suits her better than the subtlety of shadow. 
  • Her shadow is alive, sort of.

Relationships

Kason [ Younger Brother ]

Kason is Amaranth's younger brother by ten minutes. The two absolutely adore each other. Amaranth custom makes all of the tools he uses in his candymaking. In return, Kason slides any interesting enchantments he learns of her way. They see each other quite frequently; as both he and Amaranth set up shop in the same city.

Alistair [ Younger Brother ]

Amaranth is Alistair's older sister by three minutes. While the two are close, they share a more stereotypical antagonistic sibling relationship. You know the one. The one that swings wildly between 'Yo I'll help you hide the body' and 'Don't even breathe in my general direction.' Amaranth gave Alistair his first concussion when she pushed him off of a building when they were 11. They also learned how to play the piano together. In fact, Amaranth gave him the shrinking grand piano as a housewarming gift when he first opened the Side Eye. While they're  still close as adults, it's been years since the two have seen each other.

Pernicious [ Rival/Business Partner ]

Sorcerer Solidarity. Pernicious has tried to scam Amaranth in the past with cheaply enchanted rings they did themselves, and so she did them one better by fixing them with like... actual good magic. Thus beginning a long game of enchantment one-upmanship. After a while, Amaranth ended up becoming a supplier for Pernicious’ scam hustle. She supplied vaguely enchanted items, and they gave her a cut of the profit. It’s ridiculous, but she enjoys it, and it lets her shuffle out her failed experiments. She both loves and despises Pernicious. She finds them ceaselessly annoying, but they do add a bit of non-familial spice to her life.

?????? [ Regular Customer ]

She is by far the strangest frequent customer Amaranth has ever had. She refuses to introduce herself, she almost always sticks around to watch, and very rarely speaks. She utterly perplexes her. She pays well, though.
