Amaryllis

## About

**Amaryllis** is the Storyteller of Universe 023-V. With her exotic personality and exterior, she is an outlier in the World of HU:D.

## Appearance

Amaryllis is a woman of fair stature, standing at about 5'10". Her casual outfit consists of an inner suit with a black tie and a cross printed upon it, along with an outside dress shirt. She wears silken gloves upon her hands that also seem to have grips on the hands, to improve use of weapons. She wears white dress pants, but oddly enough, black flat shoes. They look almost geared towards being able to give the wearer lightness on their feet.

## Personality

Amaryllis tends to give an outward personality of a very well-refined woman. She holds herself at a very high standard, speaking in a refined manner and addressing others in a bit of a professional way. She deals with things personally, due to her past work as a vigilante for her home kingdom. She pushes others away outwardly, as potentially getting them involved in her personal manners would much rather be avoided. She uses her sun hat as a device to outwardly keep her lady-like exterior intact. She adopted this feeling all from being raised among her prestigious family, learning to act as they did, which caused her to be outwardly cold to most.

Internally, however, the girl has a lot more complex feelings, where are later revealed when she overcomes her own shadow within The Black Mirror, as resembled by leaving her sun hat and opting to allow her hair to fly free. She didn't want to concern others due to her 'working alone' mentality, however she is much more open with the people she holds close, and tends to show more of her internal emotions, occasionally smiling to others and speaking a bit more openly with the people she holds closely. She occasionally runs into herself using that professional, lady-like attitude to get her way to strangers, however she couldn't possibly bring herself to treat her allies that way anymore.

## Relationships

### **Rias**

Amaryllis has great interest in everything that Rias stands for. She has great respect for the woman, an admiration that Amaryllis herself does not want to currently show. She also appreciates how much care that Rias shows to Ran, almost reminding her of her own sister in a roundabout way. She does, however, wish to know more about the absence of Rias' memory, and what exactly is going on with her.

### Ran

Ran is someone who also slightly piques Amaryllis' interest. She doesn't quite understand the carefree attitude that Ran has, nor how she manages to keep so positive...well, most of the time. What she does appreciate is the cooking skill that she has, the barbeque meat sticks she had eaten being more than enough. She admires the bond that she has with her sister, but wonders exactly why Ran seems to avoid conversation related to death.

### Anavel

Amaryllis, to say the least, doesn't really understand Anavel. An always-tired individual who can happen to see events that have not happened yet may be a useful thing to have around, but the girl figures that it's more harm than good to put someone such as that in harms way. Not because of her own morals, but because she knows that those with poorer pasts or darker feelings don't deserve to be in the way of any more suffering. But perhaps...it's something that just cannot be avoided.

### Holom

A great affinity is the best way to describe Amaryllis' thoughts on Holom. Originally thinking of her to be mysterious and incredibly powerful, Amaryllis holds a very thin trust to her. After the conversation Holom and Amaryllis had watching the sun set, however, she feels much more enlightened to the world she lives in and the situation she finds herself in. Still, Amaryllis does not hold an entire faith in Holom's kindness, and has a feeling up her spine that soon enough, they would find themselves on the opposite sides of fate again. Amaryllis knows that she'll have to be the victor, in that case.

### Kurousagi

Amaryllis knows that Kurousagi is just attempting to do her job, but to treat a lady like her with such standoffish disrespect rubbed her the wrong way, even when she was able to be smug and prove herself to Kurousagi. Perhaps she was just having a bad day? Or maybe Amaryllis really did look that suspicious.

## Background

Amaryllis was born into an incredibly wealthy kingdom's family. At a very young age, Amaryllis had to learn many things, such as proper table etiquette, how to speak to those below you in social class, and all of the proper lady-like duties she had to attend to. It was quite a lot for the girl, but even at such a young age she consistently impressed her Mother and Father, who allowed her a bit of freedom for how hard she worked. At around age nine the girl began to enjoy watching the soldiers of the kingdom train, especially the lance men. Such a thing would have been frowned upon by her parents, however, so she never bothered. Still, though, she always found the time to sit around and watch the lance men train, wondering what it would be like if such a thing were to be learned by her. It was elegant, graceful almost, perfectly fitting for her. She asked her parents if she would be allowed to learn how to combat people, but they denied her, stating that 'for a princess such as herself, she should not trouble herself with fighting of any kind'. This...disappointed her, and began to slowly instill a feeling of dislike to the way she was treated.

When she reached her teenage years, however, she realized that the grounds were empty during the night, and nobody kept watch of such a thing. There, she would take a lance from the rack of lances and practice what she remembered from watching the training. It was around this time, as well, she learned of the terrible crime situation that was happening in the lower levels of the kingdom. On a night walk that she took annually every month down the business sector during the night, down an alleyway she witnessed a man threaten another man with a knife. She, of course, could not do anything to help, and as she ran to go get the correct authority, she heard the scream of the first man and then silence. The authorities found the body later that night in that same alley. The culprit was never apprehended. She didn't think it was right, to have such a thing happen to the poor citizens of the kingdom. Her Mother and Father were not attempting to enforce any harsher laws for the people below them, only to benefit themselves. This frustrated the girl to no end, and it only encouraged her to continue training her lance skills during the night, so that she may be able to deal with things herself.

Around the age of 17, the girl was finally comfortable with her skills enough to begin enforcing the law on her own terms. None of her family or the royal consultant was aware of such things and never had questioned her about it, as she had always continued her royal deeds throughout the day anyways. Yet still, she always had found the energy to train. This is where she began her work as a night Vigilante, dressing as the innocent lady Amaryllis. She waited until people would attempt to attack the woman with intent to kill, and would respond in turn with her excellent lance ability. The first person was the hardest for her, as at first she pitied the man for trying to take what riches she had on her. These people lived in terrible conditions and were doing what they had to in order to get by. But she knew this man had no family to protect or care for, he was acting purely for his own gain, and that sickened her. Enough to where before the man had a chance to make a move towards her, the lance was swiftly in and out of the man's chest, two stab wounds from the dual-pronged lance.
