**Amphitrite** is the designation given to an alternate dimensional counterpart to the main dimension's Hydro-Girl that debuted in *Hydro-Dark*. Unlike her good-hearted counterpart, Amphitrite is a merciless killer who slays any lifeform that is unfortunate enough to stand in her way.

In the "Hydro-Dark" dimension, Amphitrite was formerly an Aqua-Iravian warrior named Hurihiko who battled against Kino and her weapon Vortak alongside Omeka and other warriors. Kino ended up being victorious and killed Omeka, allowing her to corrupt and mould Hurihiko into a powerful warrior filled with hate.

Amphitrite is a character created by theryanjake11.

## Appearance

In appearance, Amphitrite bears an almost striking resemblance to her original counterpart but with a more faded skin tone. She also possesses shorter, messier hair and ghostly white eyes.

## History

### Early Life

Amphitrite's early life was not much different from the main universe's Hurihiko, as both were chosen by Omeka to become great warriors and demigoddesses before training immensely to battle Vortak who had attacked Aqua-Irava many years prior.

Omeka's twin sister, Kino, turned against her people and sided with Vortak and Lucifero in order to wage war on all of Aqua-Irava. A large portion of the planet was devastated by the forces of darkness, and Kino eventually overpowered Omeka before killing her. Kino then corrupted Hurihiko, transforming her over time into a silent killer.

Sigma Research had succeeded in opening a portal within their facility that lead to Aqua-Irava, but Hurihiko came through and was instructed by Kino to kill as many humans as possible so that she could conquer the planet. Hurihiko then proceeded to slaughter everyone inside the Sigma facility before moving to the outside and travelling to Downpour City, taking her perpetual hurricane with her.

In the city, Hurihiko began killing all she saw and no one was safe from her wrath. It wasn't long until the US military was deployed to stop Hurihiko, but she completely annihilated any type of resistance thrown her way. As Hurihiko resumed her killing spree, multiple survivors managed to form their own groups and retreated into the underground where they established bunkers.

The survivors eventually began calling Hurihiko by the nickname "Amphitrite", after the sea goddess of Greek mythology.

### Hydro-Dark

Many years after Amphitrite entered into our world and decimated most of Earth's defences, she continued moving across the globe and annihilating all who got in her way. During her travels, she returned to Downpour City and stumbled upon an underground bunker full of survivors including two lovers named Eileen Howells and Kevin Harrison. Amphitrite used her Tempus sword to slash through the bunker's metal doors, proceeding to hack through any survivor unlucky enough to be in her line of sight. As the survivors scramble to combat the threat, a survivor named Leon passes a prototype taser weapon to Kevin who then attempts to stun Amphitrite. This proves to only enrage Amphitrite, Kevin turns to using a gas grenade, which successfully knocked the killing machine down.

Laying Amphitrite onto a table, Kevin begins to study her body as Eileen watches in worry. Eileen then pulls out a revolver, seeing the "golden opportunity" to kill Amphitrite once and for all. A sudden spark of energy then passes from Amphitrite's body, using the gun as a conduit before passing into Eileen's body. This causes Eileen to experience severe pain much to the concern of Kevin as Amphitrite's body dissolves into bone. Eileen begins to transform into a copy of Amphitrite in front of her lover's very eyes, destroying her hazmat suit in the process. The newly formed Amphitrite then sets her sights on Kevin, knocking him out with a single backhand. Sometime later, Kevin wakes up to find himself surrounded by people in differently-coloured hazmat suits.

After Kevin and a different resistance group lead by Garrison arrive at an abandoned military base, Amphitrite tracks them down and breaks into the base where she slaughters most of the team including Garrison. Kevin and a surviving resistance member begin trying to power up a mech suit they had found in the base. Kevin demands Amphitrite to give him back his wife, Amphitrite responds with an evil grin. Kevin attempts to stun Amphitrite with a stun device to buy the resistance member some time, successfully tossing it directly into her neck which not only stuns her but also causes Amphitrite to revert back into Eileen who collapses and shivers. Eileen then flees due to her actions and Kevin follows, confronting his wife on the roof piloting the mech, begging her to come with him.

Unfortunately, Eileen transforms again into Amphitrite and the two begin to battle. Amphitrite leaps at Kevin but he clamps the mech's claws around her neck, He moves her towards the mech's right arm which ends in a plasma cannon, charging it next to Amphitrite's head. However she is able to use her strength to pry the claws off of her neck, she then grabs the mech and tosses it overhead. Kevin regains footing via the mech's jet boosters.

Amphitrite then rushes towards Kevin and kicks the mech suit, sending it crashing into a nearby lighthouse. Amphitrite smiles as Kevin appears dazed from the attack and mockingly knocks on the glass of the mech, Kevin then deploys gas from the mech's shoulders which distract Amphitrite long enough for him to blast her in the abdomen with the plasma cannon. Amphitrite is sent flying into the ground below, Kevin jumps down into the street to confront her. Charging her power and leaping into the air, Amphitrite lands a double-handed pound onto the glass of the mech which completely shatters it.

Exposed, Kevin is grabbed by Amphitrite and is thrown out of the cockpit as the mech collapses to the floor. Kevin attempts to get up as Amphitrite smiles at him evilly, she begins moving towards him until noticing a green glow in the corner of her eye. A skull-headed entity with green fire engulfing his head is looking down at her from a rooftop, Amphitrite cracks her knuckles in anticipation.

### *Hydro-Dark 2*

As the green-flamed entity, named Achlys, stares down a scowling Amphitrite, a man appears behind Kevin and offers him a gasmask as many other people appear on the roofs surrounding Amphitrite. After they confirm her identity, Achlys takes off his head and proceeds to hurl it at Amphitrite.

This causes an explosion of green mist, stunning Amphitrite enough for everyone to ready their taser weapons. The team begin bombarding the giant lady with their weapons which succeed in knocking Amphitrite down. Various members of this mysterious team then run down to Amphitrite's body and begin loading her into the back of their truck. Kevin is taken to a new bunker by its leader Gideon, and they take Amphitrite's body to a room inside.

   Gideon, learning that Kevin's wife Eileen is still trapped within Amphitrite, escorts Kevin into the room containing Amphitrite and tasks him with transforming her back, suggesting an important activity from their love life. Kevin is hesitant but is threatened with death by Gideon, Kevin succeeds and Amphitrite transforms back into Eileen. The two lovers embrace each other. After being shot by Gideon, Eileen is taken to the sleeping quarters by Kevin as the base struggles against an invading Reptilioid named Lamia.

In the sleeping quarters, Eileen transforms into Amphitrite once again as Kevin is encouraged to leave by a resistance member named Clifton who planted C4 around the bunker.

The two make their way to the bunker's exit as Amphitrite rampages through the base, killing everyone in sight before coming into contact with the lizard Lamia. Kevin and Clifton make it to the outside using Achlys' help, Clifton then detonates the C4 and the base is engulfed in an explosion before making their way to the helicopter waiting for them.

   Amphitrite then slowly exits through the flames holding her Tempus sword, Lamia then joins in and rips Clifton's head off in the process. Lamia then sets her sights on Amphitrite and leaps at her, clamping her jaws around Amphitrite's arm before kicking her in the stomach. Amphitrite knocks Lamia away with a swift elbow to her face, she then notices Kevin trying to climb into the nearby helicopter. Lamia jumps onto Amphitrite's back, bites into her neck, and then pulls her back causing them both to fall off the helipad.

Lamia pins Amphitrite to the ground and digs her claw into the giant lady's eye as the struggle continues, Amphitrite then grabs Lamia's tail and swings the lizard into a nearby pipe. Amphitrite approaches the downed reptile and kicks her over, she then begins striking Lamia in the face repeatedly. Amphitrite then realises that Kevin has begun to take to the sky via the helicopter, she grabs the helicopter's tail and holds it in place and pulls out her Tempus sword.

Noticing this, Achlys throws his head into Amphitrite which causes her to let go and allow Kevin to begin ascending as Lamia leaps onto one of the helicopter's wheels.

Amphitrite composes herself after the green explosion and looks up at the aircraft, she then tosses her sword into the air and it slices through the propellers which causes Kevin to begin to go down and crash into the nearby forest, leaving Kevin and Lamia's fates uncertain.

### *End of the Line*

When Hydro-Girl was suffering visions due to the seal of Motesius being damaged by the chants of his cult, she finds herself in a strange dimension where she is greeted by alternate versions of herself including Amphitrite.

Confused by her doppelganger, Amphitrite approaches Hydro-Girl and the two clasp hands. As the other Hydro-Girls converse with one another, Amphitrite observes them and visibly gets irritated when Eileen Howells' name is brought up during their conversation. The dimension begins to break apart as Hydro-Girl's vision comes to an end, Amphitrite along with the alternate Hydro-Girls are lifted up into a bright light.

During Hydro-Girl's battle against Motesius, Amphitrite along with the other Hydro-Girl variants appear through portals to help their alternate self. Amphitrite aids in the fight by using her Tempus sword to slice off Motesius' left arm, allowing his energy to pass over and become absorbed by Hydro-Girl who then uses the immense power to ultimately finish Motesius off for good.

As the variants bid each other farewell, one of the Hydro-Girl variants says goodbye to Amphitrite, referring to her as "short-haired me". Amphitrite and the other variants are then teleported away and back to their universes.

## Personality

Amphitrite is shown to be a complete polar opposite to the main universe's Hydro-Girl, being a merciless and mute killer who shows no remorse or any kind of emotion when she kills innocent humans. Amphitrite is very brutal as well as she viciously beats her enemies to a bloody pulp, one example being Lamia.

When she gains the upper hand over a target, she delivers a very sinister smile and she does so in a mocking manner. In the first Hydro-Dark comic when she battled Kevin inside a mech suit, Amphitrite managed to subdue Kevin and tapped on the glass to get his attention while grinning.

While fighting her enemies, Amphitrite shows brief flashes of anger that she uses to make her attacks more brutal.

## Powers & Abilities

### Tempus Sword

Due to her corruption by Kino, Amphitrite almost never uses her water-based abilities unlike her original counterpart. She instead uses a Tempus Sword, a cherished Aqua-Iravian weapon. Kino had passed down her own purple-bladed Tempus Sword to Amphitrite who, during her invasion of Earth, easily sliced through anything that stood in her way.

### Perpetual Storm

Upon arriving to Earth, Amphitrite generated a hurricane that covered the entire vicinity and was controlled by her own body. In *Hydro-Dark 2* when Amphitrite was subdued by Achlys, the hurricane died down but soon started up again when Amphitrite awoke. In the first comic, Amphitrite seemingly controlled the storm's lightning to aim at an oncoming jet which destroyed it.

### Supernatural Strength

Much like the original Hydro-Girl, Amphitrite possesses super strength that she rarely uses in favour of her Tempus Sword. When Kevin piloted a militaristic mech in order to fight Amphitrite, she kicked the robot in the groin area which sent it flying into a faraway lighthouse.

However, Amphitrite is shown to be able to hold back her strength as she backhanded Kevin but only enough to knock him unconscious. This was most likely due to her being held back by the subconscious of Eileen Howells whose body Amphitrite possessed.

### Supernatural Durability

Amphitrite, also much like the original Hydro-Girl, possesses immense durability as large efforts from the US military failed to stop her. These efforts ranged from tanks, jets, and conventional weaponry.

### Supernatural Agility

Much like the original Hydro-Girl, Amphitrite possesses super agility and can retaliate in battle almost instantly. During her battle with Lamia, Amphitrite managed to quickly elbow the Reptilioid in the face which knocked her to the ground.

## Trivia

* Amphitrite's model is a recoloured and later modified Cammy from the Street Fighter series of games.
