``Amaranth Catherina de le Vega
"I've come too far to turn back now"
They christened me Kel/Cat/Khali/Mastermind/Bowerbird/Renegade Pagan/Raven/Amaranth and I’ve fought through Eighteen (almost Nineteen) summers. They say I’m Strong, Loyal, Protective and I’m not planning to change any time soon. I read carefully and I have found that the magic words are admin edit. Many masks hang upon my castle wall, but I hide behind Caterina Owen, Callisto Demoniac, Khalida Nassar and Amaranth de le Vega and I’ve been playing this game of Risk for 3-4 years and people say I’m d*** good at it.

FAMILY>>Amaranth loved her family very much until the moment that they betrayed her... all because of money. She was the only adopted child of Ambrosio and Catalina de le Vega. She was adopted as a baby from a country in South Asia that would come to be known as Asia. They had only met her biological parents once... but promptly forgot them once they returned home to Spain. Amaranth's real parents were Harshvardhan and Bindiya Chandiramani. Amaranth was never told about her real parents... and even though Ambrosio and Catalina called her 'daughter', they never gave her a Spanish first name but gave her the name Amaranth to show just how different she was from them.
Father >> Ambrosio de le Vega

Contradictory Fiery Determined Paranoid Refuses to Trust
FULL PERSONALITY>> Amaranth is a rather simple mind to some people. When they look at her they see a simple runaway slave girl; whilst underneath all of that is a complex mind that no one can understand. The runaway slave girl has an intelligent mind when it comes to living on the streets as it is what she has done for quite some time. She calls it 'Street Smarts'. There have been many times where Amaranth has rushed into danger to save another thief from execution or to rescue a slave... but once they try to thank her and ask if they can accompany her for sometime, Amaranth will just smirk and say in Spanish "Hay fuerzas en este mundo que no podemos controlar. Y soy una de ellas. Trabajo solamente…" ("There are forces in this world we cannot control. And I am one of them. I work alone...")
It is because of this that Amaranth tends to confuse people because of her contradictory behavior. She will save someone and then leave them to fend for themselves. But this is simply a result of her parents betraying her when she thought that they should have supported her the most... to say the least, Amaranth refuses to trust people because she feels betrayed by those that she loved the most.
Strengths >>
- Street Smarts - able to loose the soldiers that try to arrest her for stealing by knowing where good hiding spots are
- Fighting with knives
- Can pick-pocket anyone without them noticing
- An excellent horse rider when it comes to escaping soldiers if they did not loose her in the streets
- Ability to control Fire (However, this is unknown and undeveloped)
Flaws>>- Unable to trust people and therefore has no friends that she can rely on if she gets into trouble
- Paranoid - always has the feeling that her master is tracking her
- Suffers from Monophobia (fear of being alone) due to her paranoia that her master might be tracking her
- Clumsy - often trips over her own feet or her dress
- Quick tempered - she hates it when men try to make a move on her or one of her "rescues" (people she has rescued) try to follow her. If either of these happen, Amaranth will turn towards them and start shouting obscenities in Spanish

APPEARANCE>> Amaranth is a pretty thing, thanks to the immortality factor of being a Vampire. However, she despises every point of her appearance... particularly her looks. Amaranth hates being pretty since it attracts the attention of every male that she meets. Whenever a male tries to make an advance on her she will shout in Spanish "Don' t incluso piensa en él" ("Don't even think about it"). It seems to work since the men generally don't understand what she is saying. The unknown is scary.
But Amaranth has to admit that she can't fight how she looks. The flawless skin, pearly white teeth, inquisitive look in her eyes and the fine bone structure. The girl only wishes that she had not been turned into a Vampire so that time could make her looks fade.
Hair >> Brown, slightly wavy, reaches her waist
Eyes>>Chocolate brown, but they turn red when she's 'thirsty'
Height>>5'5"
Weight
Skin Tone[/color]>>Light Olive
Body Type[/color]>>Slender, Athletic
Distinguishing Marks[/color]>> Scar from being bitten by a Vampire
Clothing[/color]>> Amaranth is a strange character when it comes to her choice of clothing. When she was a slave she was forced to wear a short black dress that revealed her slender legs. Now that she is "free" she tends to wear black breaches with a long forest green halter neck dress with a split up to the waist over the top. Along with this she wears a silver lace-up belt, black arm bands and a black scarf around her head to keep her hair out of her face. Amaranth also wears knee high black leather boots on her feet, but dresses them up with yellow ribbon wrapped around from ankle to knee. Amaranth refers to her appearance as a "free woman", as her Trade Mark.

FULL HISTORY>>Amaranth was born to a young couple in the South Asian country of India that were much to young for parenthood. Instead they agreed to give up their only baby girl (and only child) to a more mature couple from a country called Spain. The young mother loved her unnamed daughter very much.... but knew that she was not ready.
However, Ambrosio and Catalina only adopted the child because it was unfitting to have no children by their age. Although she was not their biological daughter, Amaranth still filled in the picture for the de le Vega couple. However, once their first biological daughter, Alejandra, was born.... Amaranth was never formally introduced as 'daughter' anymore.... but rather as 'ward'. That title never changed even when Joaquin born. Naturally this upset Amaranth dearly.
But what was worse, when Joaquin turned 4 years of age, Ambrosio lost quite a lot of money due to his addiction to gambling over the local dog fights. He used the money that he earned as a Farrier and as a consequence the family was becoming poor. In the end, the eyes of Ambrosio and Catalina turned to the form of the 'ward'.
Amaranth was sold to a slave driver simply because they needed money. However, the slave trader was never able to find a buyer for Amaranth in Spain and sailed across the seas to the Outer Hebredes. A Vampire named Alexi Harkora bought her service. On her 18th birthday Alexi decided to turn her so that he would never have to buy another slave again.
This resulted in Amaranth in being only 18 years physically while her mentality continues to age. The slave girl hated her master for that.... the pain she had to endure for 24 hours. One night... when Alexi was not looking Amaranth slipped out of his manor with a set of daggers and stole one of his prized Oldenburg stallions and rode away into the night. For the next 7 years Amaranth has lived on the run... stealing money and cloths wherever she could. And stealing blood from unsuspecting victims just to survive and quench the unwanted thirst of her newly formed Vampire heritage.
National Heritage >> Born in India, raised in Spain
Accent>> Spanish
Languages Spoken>> Spanish, a little English (although she struggles with the English language)

Role Playing Sample>> Meanwhile, a young warrior was riding at the back of the pack of the Minbari trying to recover the 'stolen' Empress from the clutches of a red haired devil. She had raven black hair and icy blue-green eyes that seemed to glow in the darkness of the night. However, this girl was no ordinary 'warrior'. She was an 'Alpha Class' Archer of the Minbari warriors..... a master archer. Perfidia was also a noble girl.... the only 'daughter' of the Avernash bloodline in the recent descendants. And she was not planning on loosing her name anytime soon.
The girl sighed as the older warriors bickered about how to track the kidnapper through the forest.... the 'horses' tracks kept disappearing. Perfidia groaned in the end and kicked her black Alicorn (1/2 Pegasus, 1/2 Unicorn), Delta, to a gallop. The stallion nickered and shot through the gathering... causes shouts of surprise before opening his wings and taking flight.
Now THIS was the way to find someone!
It wasn't long before Perfidia found the Empress, landing in the small clearing with the Falls of Light and dismounting from Delta.
"Milady", she breathed in relief. "It is good to see you alive and well Empress. Where did the devil go?"
Hecate shook her head, picking up the egg into her arms. "There was no devil.... that was my Beloved. He was making a joke out of the situation...."
A tear escaped Hecate's eyes.
Perfidia nodded in understanding. It had been a long time since Hecate had smiled since her divorce with Kevin Thrain. Perfidia had not seen those years.... but she knew them well enough by Hecate's associates.
"Milady.... it is not safe at night...."
