**Amarantha Tully Winchester** is a scribe of the Empire.

## Backstory

Alongside her cousin Sol, Amarantha lived in a small Ice clan. During this time, they heard of a clan called the Empire of the Moonlit Waves, and a plight they were going through. As such, they made the perilous journey to help those in need.

After Empress Aislinn allowed them to join, both were apprenticed to Aldric who—despite his impatience—became a father-figure for the dragonesses. Their apprenticeship to the Skydancer rarely went smoothly, with Sol almost always finding a way to argue with Aldric. Amarantha always found more subtle ways to disagree with the Skydancer, and rarely raised her voice.

Time passed, and Amarantha watched as her cousin advanced into more difficult scribe techniques. Though somewhat jealous, Amarantha was content with being able to just jot simple prophecies and visions down, not really wanting to be a big-shot like her cousin.

Amarantha found herself developing a crush on Abbas, much to the chagrin of Sol. Her interest with the Imperial went beyond what most dragons would think was healthy, and the Imperial was very adverse to the thought of even associating with an "outsider". This never hindered Amarantha from pursing him, despite her cousin's warnings. She continued this one-sided romance, but her meeting with Winifred changed her for the better.

Amarantha met Winifred at an imperial meeting, where they talked about their respective jobs. By this time, Winifred had become quite the artist in the Empire and Amarantha definitely decided to buy many of her pieces. The two befriended each other, and Amarantha helped the young non-noble feel at home. They both shared an uneasiness of not fitting in: Amarantha due to being from the Ice Flight and Winifred due to her mother's rejections. They were immediately drawn to each other and spent almost every day talking about clan life.

Sol was originally despondent that her cousin wasn't spending as much time with her, but soon came to acknowledge that it was better than continuing her infatuation with Abbas. Especially—it seemed—after Sol and Skoll became close and had their first clutch together.

It didn't take very long for Amarantha herself to become enamored with Winifred. She brought the Coatl gifts and flowers almost every day and would serenade her with songs Quirinus helped write. Winifred—who only saw Amarantha as a friend—rejected her advances at first. Not to mention the fact that she was worried what Corrente would think: mating with an outsider!

But even the stoic Winifred could not hide her feelings for long. She knew she was falling for the Bogsneak too. Amarantha and Winifred courted in secret for several months, even going as far to share a nest together in a secluded lagoon. As their love blossomed, so did their want for the rest of the Empire to accept them and a hatching. Both wishes came true of course.

They received Klahan after finding a Plague egg while gathering. They immediately fell in love with the little drake and were very happy when it came to be realized that not only he would be the Plague Representative, but also married to Talfryn.
