Character description/personality:
Amy is an even-headed girl who has all the same desires and feelings of a teenager, but feels heavy responsibility on her shoulders. She believes she was born with her abilities because it is her destiny to use those abilities to help everyone. Because of this, she is constantly questioning if she is using her time correctly to maximize how much she is, in fact, helping the world. As a result, under her apparent even-headed facade lies an arrogant girl who believes she understands people better than they understand themselves or others. She also believes herself more powerful than anyone around her, because hers is the power of the mind and of emotion.

Combat tactics:
Amy actually has two weapons so she can enter combat two different ways. Her spear is so she can reach the otherwise unreachable while her other allies flank enemies. However, her longsword is there for more finesse and accuracy. As this illustrates, Amy knows the power of the group and uses her allies to as full of effect as possible. Her powers are centered around this by making sure her allies stay healthy (to survive the fight) and making the enemy vulnerable (to make the enemy less likely to survive the fight).

Character background:
Amy was born to a pair of rat hengeyokai. But unlike most of her kind, Amy was born in her hybrid form. This was seen as a sign that she was special somehow and sure enough, it was soon discovered that the baby had psionic power. She had a human's childhood (albeit, if a human was raised among the reclusive hengeyokai) but with the psionic and shape-changing abilities through that childhood, the girl was all too confident in herself. By 12 years old, she was already using her power to manipulate those around her and become "in charge" of her environment. But she was still a child and her plans were easily seen through by the much more experienced adults. She was sent to a hermit specialist in the field of psionics who was asked to train her and give her the self control needed to not become a menace, but rather an aid to the world. Nobody but Amy knows what happened during those years, but Amy left there a much more mature girl. She had graduated just in time as her wanderlust hit and now she goes to explore the world and seek her place in it.
