Ameriga Fernanda

AI Interpretation of Ameriga

**Ameriga Fernanda**, or simply called **"Meri"**, is a character in the Alternate Void series. She is an archaeologist who has dedicated her early adulthood with the study of the Five Pillars and the science behind them. She also serves as one of Queen Olivia's Ten Knights of the Emaliza. Ameriga's life goal is to discover the true origin and meaning behind the Five Pillars and their significance. She is the daughter of Gene and Sophie Fernanda. As a member of the Fernanda family, she has been expected to carry out high responsibilities in preperation for the next coming of the "Nerubaba".

Despite being an Analeasian, Ameriga grew up most her life in Southern Juliana, having been raised alongside the countless amount of work her parents had to conduct in the area. While her parents both studied archaeology in relation to the mysterious Five Pillars of Argan, their intentions and purposes differed completely. Ameriga would be tasked to study with her father on the history of the Fernanda family and Nalaa, while her mother wanted to study the mineral properties of the stone, and their significance to their construction. Ameriga would love these trips and would often see things very few people had in her lifetime.

Ameriga was taught the Spirit Arts from a very young age and began to master the core principles by the time she was five, which was a remarkable feat by any standards. Her father then began to teach her the basis of the Demonic Arts (without her knowledge of such) and attempted to prepare her for a life of service to the Nerubaba. Over time, Ameriga would begin to develop signs of these skills but not at the rate that Gene would've preferred. This would lead into Ameriga's hertiage being studied further, and Gene would discover that Sophie's family had lineage in Analeas, not simply Nalaa. With this newfound revelation, Gene's hopes of raising a worthy vessel to serve in the stead of himself began to fade. He distanced himself from Ameriga and Sophie, and would eventually leave them shortly after Ameriga's 14th birthday. Refusing to leave Corbin, Sophie felt as if she was close to solving the mystery of these pillars and their connection to something. Unbeknowest of the mother and daughter, Gene had left a plague in the household that would slowly kill them if they remained in Corbin. While the two slowly began to get sick, Ameriga recognized the symptoms and was able to cure herself with the work of the Demonic Arts. The exchange for the cure was the intensity of the plague around her, speeding up the process of her mother's death. With a combination of the dark particles of the pillar material mixed with the strange powers of Gene, Sophie knew leaving Corbin wouldn't change her fate.

After Sophie's passing, Ameriga was sent to live with her Aunt Diane out in Rouisse, Charisgo. It was there Ameriga began to fall in love with her mother's wok as well. Having taken her mother's studies and research with her to Charisogo. She studied the matter and observed the type of claims people made for the pillar. For nearly three years she would carry on her mother's study of the pillars and would take her knowledge back to Corbin to study in the caves her mother would spend time studying. It was while she was here in the caves that her father, Gene Fernanda, would finally visit her again; this time with Olivia and co. Ameriga decided to join up with Olivia on their way to the Central Pillar, reluctantly with her father around as well. After the group arrived in Seneca City, Olivia asked Ameriga to join the Ten Knights, which Ameriga accepted.
