## History

#### Early Life

Amaris grew up with both her parents until she was about 6. Once her parents got divorced, she grew up mostly with her mom, visiting her dad on rare occasion. Since her mother’s closest friends lived across the street with their own kid, Amaris grew up becoming best friends with him. His name was Jax, and they did pretty much everything together until he unexpectedly moved away when they were about 10. She spent the rest of her early teens closed off from everyone, except for Jennifer Kenzington, who she fought with frequently.

#### Revolution Arc

During the beginning of her sophomore year of high school, Amaris heard from another student that Jax was living at an organization called the FAM, which was relatively close to her school. She soon traveled to the FAM to find him and ended bumping into some experimental substances in her excitement. This caused her to gain volatile lightning powers.

The leader of the organization, Austin (insert last name here), learned about this ordeal and struck a deal with Amaris. Since she had gained these new powers, she could sneak into the most wanted group of anomalies, and learn about their strengths and weaknesses, hopefully hunting them down once and for all. In return, Austin would rid her of her lightning powers (Jason also slips her a pair of gloves to mostly contain her powers). After some short deliberation, she agreed in hopes she would be able to see Jax again.

They began to stage an attack on her, and as they believed someone would, an anomaly came to “rescue” Amaris from the FAM. His name was Hunter Blackwell, and she followed him to where he was hiding along with a few others. She stays with their group (the FAFAM) for about two and a half years, reporting information back to Austin and Amber. She was also the one to let them know about Jason helping the FAFAM.

During the final fight, Amaris rats out the FAFAM to Austin but he doesn’t uphold his end of the deal. Amaris is left extremely frustrated and hurt, and lashes out at all of them. Once the FAM crumbled, Amaris and Jax got into a fight over what she did, and Jax decides it’d be good for the both of them to not talk for a while. Due to the damage she caused during this arc, she was sentenced to work with Damian Wang at his non-profit to deal with her issues and to learn to control her powers better.

#### Future Arc

Amaris moves back in with her mom for a while before getting her own apartment in Damian Wang’s apartment complex to work with him. Through this process, her mental state becomes a whole lot healthier. She also becomes a lot better at controlling her powers, learning to live with them in the process. Her and Jennifer patch stuff up, and they actually better each other after their long time apart. Amaris also eventually patches up her and Jax’s relationship, becoming close friends again.

## Trivia

* Amaris used to be the happy-go-lucky protagonist of Purple Thunder, but Thundrrr realized that the book became a lot more interesting if Hunter Blackwell was the protagonist. Amaris took on a completely different character after her first draft being scrapped.
* She is an ISTP-T.
* All of the parental adults in her life were named directly after Hamilton characters, but Thundrr is too attached to the names to change them.
* She used to have a catchphrase where she’d say “Holy cheese sticks!”
