**Windflower Amana** is a major support character in *Challenge of the Shadows.* She used to have a wind shard implanted into her neck secretly by her mother.  However, she lost the shard after the group was attacked by Crow Watanabe and Akuma. She and her sister had to escape from their village after the Black Sun attacked it, forcing them into hiding in order for them not to get found and captured. She mysteriously disappeared after a spell mishap but was soon reunited with Cherry and the others in Team Strelitzia.

Windflower along with her sister Cherry were recruited into Team Strelitzia after being disbanded from another rescue group called Team Voltage many months ago. The two of them were fighting Black Sun troops when they were assisted by siblings Shay and Yuna Hanamura.

## History

Windflower was the youngest daughter of Luna Amana in the quiet town of Dawnbloom Village. Her father was never in the picture and Wind would try to ask what happened to their father, but their mother kept repeating to them that he just left the family. Wind eventually accepted this, not knowing what actually who her father was and what truly happened to him.

When she was four years old, she discovered that she had aerokinesis after accidentally releasing a gust of air into her sister’s herbs while she was away. Windflower didn’t know where they came from, or how she got it, but she didn’t let that stop her. She would keep using them over and over constantly, with her sister, alone, or with her mother. Eventually, she taught herself how to control the direction of where the wind went.

One day, Windflower went into the training room out of curiosity and found two large swords on a stand along with other weapons that were in stock. She tried to carry them to try to use them, but they were too heavy and big for her size. Her sister Cherry noticed her struggling, and casted a shrinking spell on the swords, shrinking them to a proper size to the two of them. She even managed to customize them, their names in Latin written on the blades. That was when they both started to practice sword fighting. Wind even tried to incorporate her powers into her sword attacks to upgrade her fighting skills.

However, things started to take a turn for Windflower, as The Black Sun, a terrorist military organization, attacked the village early in the morning, forcing Wind and her sister Cherry to flee. Unfortunately they were attacked by a Black Sun soldier, and their mother Luna defended them. Wind was unsure of what was happening, only hearing partially of the back and forth argument between Cherry and Luna. She does not recall as much as Cherry did, so she was unaware that Luna sacrificed herself for them as they escaped the village.

Windflower was only five years old when she and her sister Cherry were forced to fend for themselves. She and Cherry would take turns going out from the cave gathering herbs and checking if there were any Black Sun soldiers. Neither of them had that much gold since they had to escape so suddenly, so they had to hunt for food or only buy food when they had too. This was when Cherry taught her a basic healing spell and what some healing herbs are from her own knowledge just in case of emergencies. Many years later while Wind was out, she stumbled across a group called Team Voltage, people from other kingdoms that fight against evil forces and protect others from harm. Unfortunately, she forgot to go back to the cave where she and Cherry were hiding in, causing her sister to panic about her safety.

She and Cherry did reunite many months later, albeit very awkwardly in front of the rest of Team Voltage. Windflower was very happy to see her sister again, and even invited her in the group. Cherry did accept, becoming a part of the group and the next healer in place of her sister.

Windflower switched between her and Cherry going on missions with the others, one mission where she found out she had an evil counterpart named Lilyflower from a different realm. Lily tried to take over Windflower’s body, but was stopped by her sister, Yuna, Locaster, and Soul. Multiple years after joining the team, the leader of Team Voltage Bolt, disbanded the team after a huge argument happened between everyone in the group. This forced Wind, her sister, Soul, and Locaster to isolate in a group from the Black Sun they slowly tried to take over the world.

## Appearance

Windflower is a teenager who stands at 5’3, making her a little bit shorter than Cherry. Her skin is lighter than her sister’s. She has neon yellow and pale brown hair in a ponytail. She also has golden yellow eyes. After losing the wind shard, her eye colour faded to a pale yellow as a side effect and permanent reminder of her powers being lost.

Her normal attire consists of a pale yellow shirt with half rolled no shoulder yellow gold and pale yellow sleeves. Her belt was also pale yellow and yellow gold, in place of herb pouches which Cherry carried with her. She wore golden yellow shirts and knee high white and golden yellow belt boots. Wind, like her sister, had a clip in her hair. But, it was a green and pale yellow butterfly clip, and it wasn’t for keeping her bangs in place. She also had a bandana type of scarf around her neck, which hid a necklace she and her sister made when they were little kids. After finally reuniting with her sister Cherry, she had her hair down temporarily.

### Corrupted Counterpart

After being teleported into another realm and meeting her other self, her counterpart, Lily, started to slowly corrupt her until she took control of Windflower temporarily.

Lilyflower has a similar facial structure to Windflower, except that her bangs are pointier and spikier. Her outfit also changes, donning a short purple and black shirt with short sleeves, and a long black drape with purple near the ends that covered her shorts, which were purple and black too. She, just like Windflower, wore high knee boots that were black with a purple rim on the bottom.

## Personality

As a child, Windflower was the one who kept trying to protect Cherry after she found out that she had aerokinesis powers when she accidentally scattered her sister’s herbs all over the floor in their house. She was also very caring for others and tried to help the other villagers with her powers when it looked like they were having trouble with something. Windflower was also a bit overconfident sometimes with her powers, this is the reason why she was not as much of a spellcaster as Cherry was. She seemed to have a curious side, as she was the one who explored the Dawnbloom training room and found the two heavy swords that Cherry would eventually shrink and personalize for the two of them.

Currently, in the story, Windflower is shown to be rather reserved in contrast to her sister, Cherry, who is more outspoken and defensive. She proves to get easily flustered when given compliments and can come off as somewhat shy because of her lack of socializing within Team Strelitzia. Unlike Cherry, Windflower is easy to anger and easily provoked, as she can get into a fight if provoked enough through harsh words.

After losing her windshard from Akuma, her personality somewhat shifts. Windflower decided to never trust herself with another demon shard or gem ever again but still felt guilty about how reckless she was when she had her wind powers. She also seemed to be secretly jealous when she saw other shard users using their abilities much better than her. Windflower was also a bit more bitter towards Feng than usual, who used the full wind gem to replace her sight. This is most likely because she used to be a wind user as well.

Windflower at one point even thought to be extremely weak, calling herself a “damsel in distress” from old poets and storybooks she used to read. She felt internally angered at herself when Cherry got captured by the Black Sun, saying that she should’ve tried protecting her harder. This does show her slight protective side of Cherry even though she was the younger sister. She also didn’t want to admit how she thought that Cherry and the others were “wasting” their energy on her even though she gets attacked the most frequently when she’s alone.

Windflower attempts to hide these feelings from the others by being bright, or just staying quiet and reserved when the Demon Gems or shards are mentioned. Only her sister and others who have a keen eye can notice how Windflower truly feels. Sometimes she does accidently make it obvious and just tells them that she’s okay, and other times it’s less subtle.

These feelings only get worse though during the escape when she, Cherry, and the rest of Team Strelitzia have to disguise themselves as waiters to escape. She went by the disguise name Arya, a deity of wind in mythology. Wind hesitated to use this name at first though, given her past when she had the wind shard and her pent-up feelings about it up until now. Again she tried to hide these feelings while she and Cherry changed into their waiter outfits, but didn't know that Cherry was worried about how she was doing.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** As an offense fighter and spellcaster, Windflower has proven to be an exceptional and skilled combatant. When she and her sister fight together in a battle, they compliment each other well, with Windflower doing most of the hand to hand combat.

**Enhanced Speed & Reflexes:** While she had the wind shard, Windflower was one of the fastest in the group, able to use her wind powers to make her quick and agile in a fight and hard to hit. After training herself when she lost the wind shard, she managed to somewhat gain back her agility again. Although, she did have to endure a few minor bruises and wounds when she accidentally bumped into things and tripped on pebbles.

**Hand to Hand Combat:** Thanks to sparring with Cherry and anything she thinks she can use to use to train, she became proficient in close hand to hand combat. Windflower used this as one of her main sources of fighting, along with using her sword to either block her blind spots or to her advantage in a fight.

**Quick Thinking:**

## Magic Abilities

**Manipulation Spell (formerly):** Control thin lines of wind around an object or person to ‘control” them. Must focus on them or the spell will slowly fade out. The amount of control you can use and the duration depends on the strength of the user. The first time Windflower used this spell was when she had to force a huge monster queen to stay still for a mission back when she was in team Voltage.

**Wind Cutter:** A combination of her sword attack and the powers of the wind shard, Wind had a unique ability that allowed her to combine her combat skills and make thin crescent blades to strike down many enemies. She later on lost this ability after her wind shard was taken.

**Aerokinesis:** Windflower had aerokinesis via a wind shard, unknowingly getting it implanted into her neck as a child. This made her think that she was born with wind powers to begin with. During this period, she was able to manipulate large bodies of air effortlessly and relied on her magic consistently, proven when she used large blasts of wind on her opponents and training. Windflower lost this ability after a shard thief named Crow Watanabe, and his assistant Akuma, ripped her shard out of her neck.

**Temporary Pyrokinesis:** In a brief moment of the story, Windflower created a temporarily quick area of effect fire attack using a potion she made out of autumn coloured herbs. Windflower was able to use it on her hands and her friend's sword to attack multiple soldiers when they were attacked by the Blackest Sun. She hasn’t really used it ever since, but there’s a chance she might in the future as an offense attack or a last ditch effort attack.

**Teleportation Spell:** After being taught this spell by Cherry, she immediately tried to teleport herself to where she thought Soul was. But she was too inexperienced, and ended up teleporting in an enemy's base almost completely exhausted. She did manage to escape using her wits and quick thinking, but was wounded in the process. Wind did eventually reunite with Cherry after finding her hidden on the side of the building in Lyakon. She’s currently trying to improve using the spell with a little bit of encouragement from Snow.

**Spirituality Spell** *(Polish: duch się rozwiązuje)***:** Windflower can perform a spirituality spell, a very risky spell using a maple leaf, and a golden petal along with a small chant. This spell allows her to temporarily leave their body and become a transparent spirit. Not much is known about this spell since Windflower only used it once when she was controlled by her corrupted other self Lilyflower to warn her sister and Soul about Spike and Lily’s plan. But, her physical body becomes vulnerable while the spell is active: So if she gets injured while out of her body it transfers to their physical body.

**Duplication Spell** *(Polish: zduplikować na dwa)***:** When she was still in the village, Windflower and Cherry were exploring the library when they found a secret compartment behind an isolated bookshelf. There they found what looked like a decades old book with old spells they never knew existed before. That was when Wind stumbled across the duplication spell, and decided to try to practice using it. Cherry was worried at first considering they found a warning in small print that said that it can cause chaos if used in the wrong hands. Windflower being the confident little child she was, wanted to try it anyway along with her aerokinesis powers. She ripped the page gently out of the book, and put it in her bag that she brought with her.

Windflower a few days later started to practice by trying to duplicate an apple her sister was eating at that moment. She had to keep it a secret from her mother though because she was scared at what Luna would think if she saw her using the spell. In around 3 months and mini advice from her actual spellcaster sister Cherry, she managed to clone Cherry and even herself. Cherry was very surprised at how quickly she was improving on the spell.

However, the fun didn’t last very long. Two days before the Black Sun attacked the village, Luna found out about the spell when she was sweeping the floor in their room. It was folded up in a book Windflower would read before going to sleep. She got scolded at and was forbidden to use the spell ever again because of the warning on the page.

in the currently story, Windflower knew she had the spell, but never used it because she was afraid that she would use it wrong and it would make some situations even worse. Only she and Cherry knew about it, and didn’t tell the other members of the team. However, in a future test scene, Windflower used the spell to duplicate herself when she had to sign this contract like thing to join the Lyakonian army.

This spell allows Windflower to duplicate anything she touches or points at, including the user. The amount of time the clone or object has until it disappears depends on the user. The user can also talk through the clone if they clone themselves. The only downside is that it has a slight difference that only those with a keen eye can spot. The duplicate has some form of a white mist around them, and is sometimes transparent. Their body temperature is also very cold when touched.

This spell was very dangerous if the wrong person uses it, which is why it was kept in a secret compartment in the library so that no one risks using it and causing mayhem in the village. It was also the reason why Luna never told Wind and Cherry about it when they were little kids.

**Crystalization Magic (future):** In a future fight of Team Strelitzia vs Crow Watanabe in the story, Wind unlocks her cetra form after nearly getting hit by a fatal attack by Crow, and manages to counter his attack by turning his arm temporarily into crystals. This allowed her to escape and regroup with her sister Cherry and the others. Again, her crystalization magic after that is unknown since this is going to be a fight much later in the story.

## Equipment

**Sword:** Windflower’s main weapon is a sword that she uses after her sister customized one for her when she was younger. She uses the sword as a mid to close range weapon and proves to be proficient in sword fighting, might even be better than her sister Cherry because of her offensive fighting style.

**Breeze Bow:** Windflower, just like Cherry, rarely uses a bow. However, she does know how to use it on some occasions. She doesn’t have as much experience with it as Cherry does though, since she was the one that taught her.

## Weaknesses

**Over-reliance:** Before losing her shard, Windflower had a problem with relying too much on her magic abilities. Some examples include movement when not in battles, and most of her attacks being wind based. She did not learn spells as much as her sister did even though Wind was a spell-caster. Windflower was proficient in hand-to-hand combat, but rarely used it and instead used her aerokinesis as a substitute. She was devastated after waking up and realizing that she lost the shard, never trusting herself to wield another shard afterward. Although, Wind does sometimes feel sad about it without showing it, trying to hide her feelings when she talks.

**Overuse:** After losing the wind shard, Wind started to use spells like Cherry. So just like other demons and other magic users, she is prone to overusing her spell magic. Having symptoms of dizziness and fatigue when used for a long duration.

## Relationships

### Cherry Amana

Despite being the younger sister, when they were little kids Wind would try to protect Cherry with her newly discovered aerokinesis powers. An example was when she attacked a bear that was going to hurt her sister when Cherry was trying to heal an injured bear cub in the forest. The two of them had a close sibling bond,
