Amara Ashcreek

Amara Ashcreek is an NPC introduced in Arc 1. She is a waitress working at the Rose & Thorn Tavern in Summerview.

## Description

Amara is a short plump Half-Elf woman with dark skin and curly hair.

She wears golden rings on nearly every of her fingers.

After her engagement to Aura, she wears a bejewelled dagger at her hip: it is a custom in the area around Summerview to exchange daggers instead of rings. Aura wears a matching one.

Amara works as a waitress at the Rose & Thorn Tavern in the town of Summerview. She is well-known by the townsfolk, and equally well-liked by most of them. She is good friends with Sir Mister Person.

## Backstory

Amara has always wanted children, and a family life. As she gets together with Aura, she basically accepts that she won't have that.

Aura, at one point, hears rumours about a dragon egg in Thymore. She travels there, not planning to take long, and only leaves behind a very short note as to not get Amara's hopes up. When she takes longer than someone would usually need for a quick ride to Thymore and back, Amara worries about her and asks the Arc 1 party to find her.

## Character Arc

### Arc 1

Amara is very upset and worried about Aura's safety as her fiancée takes a lot longer than she should on a quick journey to Thymore. In tears, she hires the Arc 1 party.

As they return Aura's back to her safely, and even with a dragon egg that she found in the Mausoleum, she is happy beyond measure.

### Between Arc 1 and Arc 7

Somewhere between 131 and 133 AE, Aura and Amara get married, with only SK-73 attending the wedding.

In mid-summer of 132 AE, after it sat in their fireplace for months, a little gold dragon hatches from the egg, and Aura and Amara decide to name their son Arthur, and SK-73 basically gets assigned godfather of the child. Soon, Arthur learns how to turn between the form of a human-looking baby, and a dragon baby, and makes his first attempts at flying as well as walking.

Arthur's hatching does mean that they can no longer hide Aura's draconic nature, though. Because the people in town did not really know Aura that well to begin with, and are now kind of intimidated by her, this slightly isolates Amara as well. She is still well-liked, but people avoid her a bit more, now that her fiancée / wife is known to be a powerful dragon.

### Arc 7

To celebrate Arthur's first birthday, Aura and Amara decide to invite "a few friends", but Amara does not check how many invitations actually get send out, leading to her being overwhelmed as a lot more people than she anticipated show up. Most of those people she doesn't know, because they are Aura's friends from long ago.

When finally, Sir Mister Person, a friend of hers, shows up, he is acting a lot more reserved than she is used to. He does not like having to interact with his old party again, and it has nothing to do with her personally, but she fears that he might be upset because they did not invite him to the wedding.

As the town gets attacked during the party, Amara gets badly wounded and a Sahuagin steals Arthur in the process. Still, in her overwhelmed, hurt, and panicked state, she makes sure the people of Summerview get to safety in the library, and sends SK-73 and the Arc 7 party to get her son back.
