## Biography

### Early Life

Amynthia Shoshenq was born in 3988 in Napata, Syene, into a middle class family. Although Expelled House Shoshenq of Meroë is one of the most influential Syenish families, Amynthia's mother family side, due to the first surname being inherited by the mother in Syene, is not related to them.

When she was announced as Setepnetjeret by Renenutet, Chosen by both Nekhbet, protective vulture goddess of Eastern Saturania, and Wadjet, protective goddess of Western Saturania, her faithful parents took it as banter from the gods. They were proud Syenish, still wanting complete independence from Saturania. The fact that their daughter was blessed by the gods, but given, not one, but two goddesses linked to Saturanian nationality, they did not approve. She was given the name "Amynthia" for "the defender" and her respective amulet with two symbols.

As the tide of the Chosen Ones mania rose, with both people forsaking them as monsters and others adoring them, presenting their own babies as false Setepnetjeru, Amynthia's parents decided to keep her a secret from the world.

### Setepnetjeru Assembly

In the year 3993, the Ankhaf Heir, Hector Ankhaf, publicly spoke in favor of his species, the Setepnetjeru. He declared he would unite them and finely prepare them to perform their divine role when humankind needs them. He would make sure to show the world they are at their service.

The public had a mixed reaction, but it inspired Amynthia's parents to inform Hector about their daughter. Amynthia, at 5 years old, not knowing or understanding what she was, traveled with her parents to Khalem when Hector assembled all Setepnetjeru to Per-Ankhaf. That was her first time in the mainland.

Amynthia went back to Khalem once a year for the Setepnetjeru assemblies. Her parents decided to keep her identity a secret from the public eye.

### Journalist Career, Jerui and Personality Disorder

After graduation, Amynthia became a journalist for local newspapers and websites in Syene. However, none of them were paying well.

Her Setjebu called her and she traveled to Khalem once again. She left her Jerui victorious and acquired her *Was* powers. Nevertheless, the repercussions from her Jerui left her with a dissociative identity disorder, in which she shows two distinctive split personality states. Amynthia then made the hard decision to move to Khalem to be properly trained, sacrificing her life in the isles. She was also hired by the *Khalemian Daily*, a failing newspaper trying to adapt into social media.

### Capture

In 4016, near the elections, Amynthia was ordered by her editor-in-chief to research a Sobeki Senate candidate and his money-laundering allegations. In a website centered around conspiracies, she stepped upon the name Apeproid Laboratories, a facility rumored to do illegal experimentation on human subjects owned by Kheperini Enterprises, which the Senate candidate could be funding. She e-mailed the assistant of Harold Kheperini, the CEO of Kheperini Enterprises, and her request of a brief interview was accepted.

Amynthia flew to Leontos, Sepat of Shu, to meet with Harold in the restaurant of a hotel. The interview turned odd from the beginning when she found herself alone with Harold surrounded by security guards. Harold began asking her questions about how she found the name of the Laboratories that were supposedly closed in the 90's and if she was a Setepnetjeret. Astonished by how he got the information of her identity, she tried to flee. She was attacked and when she tried to use her abilities, she was surprisingly subdued. Amynthia was put to sleep and taken to Apeproid Laboratories.

Her disappearance was first noticed by her parents, who then informed the police and the Ankhafs. The case was rapidly closed with the help of the Smaiu in power, determining she got kidnapped by one of the many Shuian gangs in order to traffic her, as most female disappearance cases in the area turned out. It resulted in multiple protests in Syene, but the most they could do was keep the case open. Hector and Monique, knowing there was Smaiu business going on, ensured Amynthia's parents that she wasn't being trafficked and that they would do anything they could to find her and the other lost Setepnetjeru.

By the year 4021, almost five years later, Amynthia is still being looked for by the Ankhafs, the First Setepnetjeru Generation, their contacts and her parents.
