## Love Interest

### Janai

At first, Amaya and Janai were mutually hostile enemies, due to both of their forces being stationed at the Breach as opposing forces representing their nations. Amaya took great pride in fighting Janai, constantly egging her to take the offense with a beckoning hand. However, despite her teasing, Amaya considered Janai to be an honorable adversary, even saving her from falling into the depths of the Breach. After being held in Lux Aurea by Janai, Amaya slowly began to trust her, warning her of the danger that Viren and Aaravos posed upon infiltrating the elven city. The two started working together at that point, facing a common enemy. When they witnessed Aaravos kill Janai's sister Khessa, Amaya intervened and stopped Janai from charging to her death, communicating to her that there was nothing else she could do at the time, despite understanding the pain of losing a sibling. Afterward, Janai accompanied Amaya to the Storm Spire, where they met Amaya's nephews and joined their group as allied forces. Upon being asked about her "elf friend", Janai defensively responded that they are not friends, but that Amaya was merely her prisoner. Amaya responded by jokingly signing that Janai believes her to be cute, but would not admit it yet. Amaya and Janai continued to bravely fight side-by-side during the battle at the Storm Spire against Viren's forces, claiming victory over the shared enemy through a combined effort. While meeting the Dragon Queen, Zubeia, for the first time, they held hands and smiled at her to signify a new era of peace between humans and elves.

Following the battle, Amaya and Janai reinforced their new friendship when she was invited to enjoy a crackledrake meal with Janai near the Frozen Sea. While being informed of the origin of the hot meal, Amaya accidentally burned herself, causing Janai to reconsider whether sharing this tradition was a good idea. Despite having hurt herself, Amaya insisted that she enjoyed their time together and confirmed their friendship once more. Amaya was referred to as Janai's "hero" during the exchange, and the two shared an intimate silence while gazing at each other.

At an unknown point, the friendship between Amaya and Janai developed into a romantic relationship, in which they have developed a deep care and importance for honesty for one another. Two years after becoming allies, Janai proposed to Amaya through an elaborate Sunfire Elf ritual and became officially engaged to her. When Amaya decided to accompany Team Zym to Lux Aurea in order to learn more about Aaravos, Janai agreed that they would need to postopone their wedding since saving the world was a greater priority and gave Amaya her sword so that they could be fighting together in spirit. After Janai was abducted by Karim and Kim'dael, Amaya did not waste time in planning to rescue her. When Karim intended to kill Janai so that he could free Kim'dael from her Mercy Debt, Amaya scarred him with Janai's sword and threatened to kill him. Once Janai was freed, Amaya rushed in to embrace her betrothed.

## Relatives

### Sarai

Sarai and Amaya shared a close bond, where Amaya considered her older sister her role model, all while never being looked down upon, but rather was considered to be a great strength to Sarai. They would try to get Viren to lighten up when the two were still friends with him, taught Callum sign language together, and looked forward to teaching Ezran. They cooked but were not very good at it, and one of their hobbies included sparring, as they were each other's best opponents that not even Harrow could keep up with.

The sisters loved to communicate in secret, signing messages to each other – especially dirty jokes. In their private time together, they'd go for long horseback rides outside the castle and into the forest and share memories, sometimes about Callum's real father, and they'd talk about what life was like before they became "royalty". To keep sane, the two made a promise to each other to knock the other upside the head if they ever lost the perspective of where they had come from.

Amaya was deeply saddened by the death of her sister but kept her memory sacred. She would often visit Sarai's memorial, contemplating what she would do. Amaya made certain after her sister's passing to visit Callum and Ezran as often as possible, showing them love and warmth just like Sarai would. Amaya looked up to Sarai, both in life and in death, and strives to be as heroic and honorable as her sister.

### Callum

Amaya cares greatly for her nephew. When greeting him and Ezran at the Banther Lodge, she embraced both of them tightly. Amaya was one of the people who taught him to understand sign language. Upon reuniting with Callum at the Storm Spire, she was happy to know he was safe, despite the presence of Rayla by his side.

At some point, she was told that Callum was in a relationship with Rayla but some time after the battle at the Storm Spire she was also told of the Moonshadow Elf's departure to find Viren. It was not until Callum and Rayla came to the Sunfire Elf camp upon reuniting exchanging news she and Janai announced their engagement much to Callum's joy. But knowing that this was not a social visit Callum explained that they need to go to the Great Bookery to learn everything about Aaravos before he is freed and yet, Callum was told of Viren's and Aaravos's actions about the city's sad state. Regardless, Callum still risked going but not getting too far ahead of his aunt knowing that he had her sister's spirit she ventured with him. Despite making it to the Bookery and gaining the knowledge they sought their deadline was up and the place was crawling with corrupted banthers despite the group's best effort to fend them off they were outnumbered until they were saved by Zubeia but Amaya and Corvus were left behind however remembering what Kazi said, Callum was relieved they made it to the book drop and were going to hideout till morning. Knowing that his aunt was safe, Callum and his friends continued on their journey.

### Ezran

Amaya cares for her nephew and king greatly and deeply. When greeting him and Callum at the Banther Lodge, she embraced both of them tightly, happy to see them again. To the point that she respected Ezran's birthright to the crown and throne when she refused to act as Queen Regent upon Viren's suggestion. Likely another reason why she respected her nephew as king was because she respected her place as a warrior and fighter. Upon reuniting with Ezran at the Storm Spire, she was happy to reunite with him, as well as fight with him to stop Viren.

From Callum's and Rayla's visit, Amaya learned that they along with Ezran were on a quest to know, learn and acquire Aaravos's prison before Claudia and Viren. Despite putting up a fight in the Great Bookery the group were surrounded by corrupted banthers until they were saved by Ezran's group on Zubeia but Amaya got surrounded by the corrupted creatures while saving Bait and despite Ezran's refusal to leave her behind she told them to leave and yet, from Callum he heard that she and Corvus will be safe in the book-drop.

### Harrow

As a General in the Katolian army, Amaya was greatly loyal to her king and brother-in-law. She did not hold him accountable for her sister Sarai's death during their mission for a power source to feed the starving citizens, accepting that Sarai's death was a possibility of consequence for their mission. It is unclear if she knew of Harrow's involvement with the death of Dragon King Avizandum, but if she was aware or later learned of the action he and Viren took, Amaya would most likely condemn him for letting his hatred make his choices, as it was contrary to what Sarai would have wanted.

## Allies

### Gren

Amaya has great trust in Gren, whom she has referred to as "her voice", relying on him as her main interpreter and Lieutenant in her ranks. She also trusted him with the task of finding her nephews to keep them safe, following Harrow's death at the Banther Lodge. The two are shown to have a close relationship, as they would hug and be casual conversing, even in front of subordinates. Amaya has shown to care about Gren deeply, embracing him hard enough to lift him off his feet after he was freed from Viren's dungeon, taking the time to explain to him why she had to be the one to seal the Breach and how she comforted him after the battle at the Storm Spire. Of course, as mischievous as she always is, Amaya enjoys teasing Gren along with everyone else, like his decision to remain unshaven.

Two years later, Amaya and Gren continued to remain by each other's sides helping the Sunfire Elves rebuild after the fall of Lux Aurea, and Gren was supportive to Amaya's engagement to Janai.

### Rayla

While originally hostile to the Moonshadow Elf for her role in the band of assassins which killed Harrow, and for supposedly taking the princes hostages and threatening their lives, Amaya ceased her hostility with Rayla on Callum's intervention. After learning of Rayla's part in Callum's and Ezran's quest to return the Dragon Prince to Xadia to make peace, Amaya became more trusting of Rayla. She formally apologized to Rayla for her initial hostility, and admits her mistake for her ignorance. Though she was upset at Rayla for breaking her nephew's heart, Amaya encourages her to make up with Callum, noting that the young Moonshadow Elf reminded Amaya of herself when she was Rayla's age and offering Rayla advice from her own relationship with Sarai.

## Enemies

### Viren

Amaya has had a tremulous relationship for Viren, stemming from the traumatic journey into Xadia that resulted in Sarai's death. Although once good friends, the death of her sister caused Amaya to turn cold towards Viren. As a result, Amaya shows great sardonic distaste for Viren's and his charms, such as after hearing of King Harrow's fate, Amaya angrily suspected that this was Viren's plot to steal the throne, though she did her best to remain civil with him, as shown during her discussion with him at the foot of Sarai's monument. However, at the same time, Amaya makes it clear to Gren before leaving for the Breach that Viren is not to be trusted.

Amaya was present at the Breach and thus not a witness to Viren's treasonous acts in Katolis, but when she was imprisoned by Janai and heard that Viren was in their city, she tried to warn them that Viren was dangerous and unhinged, and not to be taken lightly; after Lux Aurea's fall, Amaya helped the survivors escape and make their way to the Storm Spire to mount a final defensive campaign. Collaborating with Janai, Amaya commanded the small coalition at the Storm Spire against Viren. Constantly suspicious and cautious about Viren, she was/is likely suspicious about his death.

When Callum and Rayla went to visit the Sunfire Elf camp, Amaya was right to be suspicious about the dark mage's death learning from them that needing to go to the Great Bookery in Lux Aurea to learn more about Aaravos before Viren and Claudia set him free.

### Kim'dael

When Amaya attacked Karim for abducting Janai, Kim'dael threatened Janai with her claws to prevent the human from killing the one who promised to free her from the Mercy Debt. Kim'dael was then forced to leave Amaya be after Janai threatened to have the latter kill Karim, which would result in the end of Aditi's bloodline and the Bloodmoon Huntress's eternal enslavement.
