**Amira Lightwood** was a powerful shadow witch that grew even more powerful in death, living in the Shadow World. She practiced the earliest forms —spells and rituals, ceremonies, sacrifices, voodoo magic, etc. — of what is today known as modern magic.

It is known that her parents were one one of the first witches and when she come of age with her magic she created one of the first coven of witches, the Divine Shadow Coven, who are considered to be the most powerful coven. As her power grew witches around the world heard of her, she would eventually be known as **The Witch-Queen**, or the **Queen of All Witches**.

She was cursed by her parents and Felix Parker and with her death only every 5,000 years can a shadow witch be born. She was summoned forth by Luna Halliwell and was served loyally by her. She's a deuteragonist to Luna, helping guide her through her journey as a shadow witch.

Luna stated that Amira is one of the first witches, making her older than The Hollow and the Ancestors and is one of "the most powerful witches in all of history". That potent magic flows through the direct bloodline of her descendants now. Following Amira's death, her bloodline continued which allowed more shadow witches to be born later on.

**Amira** was a member of the **Lightwood Family** and the first leader of the **Divine Shadow Coven**.

## Early History

### 30th Century B.C.

Born to unnamed parents, she was bestowed with great power throughout her mother's pregnancy. Her parents wanted her to be a symbol that witches are more special than mere humans. However, when she was born, her parents only saw darkness when in fact it was the complete opposite.

As Amira continued to grow, so did her magical abilities; when she was angry, bad things could happen; weather turning bad or fires starting and when she was in good moods, then the results of her unusual powers and abilities would also do good like healing others, bringing dead birds back to life. Amira's curiosity grew with her magic as to how she could do what she did and what exactly were the extent of her abilities. She began looking into her family history. She learned that her parents were one of the first witches, that they were born to mortal parents. She never understood how her parents were blessed with magical abilities and why hers was so different than theirs. Amira realized her abilities were the strongest of all her family and witches around her.

Amira learned different forms of witchcraft witch scared her parents when all they did was nature magic. She helped dead animals be brought back to life and healed dead and injured living things back to health. Her parents along with Felix Parker sought to kill her because of the power that was growing inside of her.

In her last moments, she cast a final spell, empowered by her own death, and made sure that that next shadow witch would have a piece of her power, to be born from two powerful bloodlines. Also in death she created a plane that would be known as the Shadow World.

## Powers and Abilities

Amira is the offspring of two powerful witch bloodline, who was granted power during her mother's pregnancy. Throughout her life, she grew more powerful coming into her powers. Her ability allowed her to teleport in black smoke and phase-shift. This would later became a signature trait in shadow witches. Also, she was able to emit a visible dark red aura around her entire body, a phenomenon that only three other witches in history was able to do. As time went on, her power became more powerful. Her parents and their friend, Felix Parker united to defeat her, but she was powerful which took a lot to weaken her. They imbued parts of their power into an axe that was used to kill her. It was in this moment that she casted a spell that would make the next shadow witch more powerful than her. In death she let out a psychic blast that was so powerful that it created it's very own dimension which would come to be known as the Shadow World.

With her resurrection in modern times, she has since regained full control over her magic; as such, seemingly, able to turn her blood toxic and to channel telekinesis through a scream, powerful enough to knock out centuries old vampires.

## Weaknesses

* **Lightwood Bloodline:** The only people that have the power to destroy her are those who are born of her bloodline, i.e. Luna, Apollo, Artemis, and Athena.
* **Magic:** Amira is susceptible to the powers of witchcraft, such as mystical bindings and imbued weaponry. As a spirit, massive amounts of mystical energy, like the collective power of the Ancestors or the sacrifice of an Original Vampire, can seal her spirit away in an unknown dimension.
