Améthyste

While Améthyste thinks gems like the one she was named after are pretty, she is much more interested in feathers. Birds are amazing to her; How they fly, how different they all are, and especially, how beautiful their feathers are. Ame has a notebook she takes everywhere with her, that is full of sketches of birds, where she has sighted them, and most importantly, feathers. Feathers poke out every which way from the note book, of varying sizes and colors. She picked this up from her brother, who taught her how to sketch. He showed Ame how amazing birds were, and how every one he sketched was different. Ame would bring her brother feathers, and he would show her how to sketch them, and even though she didn't need her brother's help drawing any more, she kept collecting.

Améthyste is shy, and often becomes flustered in groups. But the second birds come up in a conversation it's hard to get Ame to stop talking. She is happy to spend a day out in a forest, quietly strolling. Some folks think she is quiet because she is blind, but that is not true; while her eyes look as though she would be blind, she can see perfectly fine, although she sees purples very distinctly while other colors fade a little.

Améthyste never calls her birds 'pets', only ever companions, and will correct you if you call them her pets. Ame often takes in abandoned birds at pet shops, that others neglected or got rid of. Her home is filled with many birds, including a raven named Nami, Three cockatiels named Pip, Pop, and Bam, a Bourke's Parakeet named Pastel, and many more. Her house is over run with birds, and she has had to continually add extensions to her home to make sure everyone had enough space.
