Overall Appearance: Although of average height Amy appears taller at first impression due to a rather slender build.  It is only that willowy appearance and clothing that keep her from being mistaken for a boy, as she is notably unendowed and unburdened by an impressive bust.

The other most significant impression she gives is that of being almost violently native american.  She could probably have played Pocahontas in any production or movie across the united states in the last 50 years.  With her long straight black hair, dark brown eyes, and almost offensively blemish free dusky skin.

She even wear's almost violently western apparel, actively leaning in to the stereotype with an actual beaded and frilled buckskin jacket over simple cotton shirt and jeans complete with a large silver belt buckle and boots.  It's obvious she is making no concessions to anyone.

Basic Personality: She's proud of her heritage, and acts somewhat aggressively towards anyone she thinks is belittling it in the 'outside' world.  She's currently in a rebelious phase, or was when everything started to go wrong.  She was overly prideful but has had that support knocked out from beneath her feet.  Having taken the name Kokopelmimi for herself, she sees herself as a teacher, dancer, traveler, and trickster and looks to Kokopelli for inspiration.

Special Skills: She's learned a host of the traditional skills of her people, from hunting, tanning, weaving and dance to cooking and tool making.

History: When she was quite young Amy was orphaned.  Her parents died when a flash flood caught them in a canyon, washing them downstream and their deaths.  From then she was taken in by her Grandmother and raised amid the older more tradition set.  Growing up she was a pretty happy normal child until at ten she suffered a severe viral infection that almost killed her and did leave her deaf.  This proved to be too much to overcome for living a regular life interacting with most of the world.  She found herself being ostracized at school and even more cut off from the modern world than her contemporaries.  The only ones that really had the time for her then were the elders and forgotten ones of the tribe that were a part of her Grandmothers circle of friends.  They took her under their wing and taught her their skills and tribal history, they gave her an identity and purpose that she grabbed with both hands.  While eventually she learned both ASL and to read lips, in two languages, she never really became comfortable with the world outside the tribe.  Her disability and obvious ethnicity left her an outsider such that she turned more and more to her tribe for an identity and sense of self.  Eventually she did start to take upon herself more and more of the duties of those tribal elders around her and among them one of the most important was learning to liaising with other similar tribal groups and elders.

Living or Dead Family:
Grandmother may still be alive on the Reservation, but Amy has no way of knowing her actual fate.
