✓ ADAPTABLE Amaya isn't prone to panic or freezing. She always hits the ground running. She's able to think on her feet; to think quickly and react smartly when things don't go to plan. It's hard to get her cornered or pinned. Throwing a single rock in her path isn't enough to trip her up.

[break][break]

✓ SELFISH - Amaya prioritizes herself over everyone else. Not in a way that is particularly malicious or mean-spirited, but in a more self-preserving way. She isn't out there manipulating people and situations to her own gain, but she is only looking out for herself in most things. Her well-being and satisfaction is her prime concern. She expects others to be responsible for their own, as she is responsible for hers. In this way, she isn't like to jeopardize herself in order to help others. Or to do something that harms her in some way just to make someone else happy.

[break][break]

✓ HONEST - In a professional sense, this isn't true — Amaya will lie, manipulate, and scheme her way through work like it's nothing. But when things are personal, Amaya will not fake anything. She won't mince her words. She won't pretend to like you. She'll tell you straight up how you are rubbing her the wrong way. She's direct and straight to the point with most things. Sometimes her honesty makes her seem a bit too forward or without tact, but it does make things clear and simple in the end. You won't ever have to wonder if what she is telling you is how she really feels.

[break][break]

✓ INDEPENDENT - Amaya doesn't rely on others for her own happiness and believes herself responsible for her own well-being. She doesn't put that on anyone else's shoulders. She isn't like to attach herself to someone enough for them to be completely vital to her living. It may seem a kind of lonely way to be, but... were Amaya suddenly to have no one in her life, then... she'd probably be okay.

[break][break]

✓ ENERGETIC - Amaya likes to get out and do things. She is always down for a bit of adventure, thrill, or even trouble. She won't hesitate to jump headlong into something daring or fun. You can always count on her to say "yes" to whatever whacky shenanigans you've got planned.



[break][break][break]



✘ MONEY OVER MORALS - Amaya only cares about getting paid. As someone who sells tricks, arms, and sometimes even lives, through her work, she's obviously done some bad shit for some bad people. But for Amaya, it all boils down to gold. Everything has a price. If the pay is good enough, she'll close her eyes and never think about who she's swindling, ruining, or running her daggers through.

[break][break]

✘ UNTRUSTING - While Amaya isn't exactly aloof or distant, she isn't exactly open to people. At least, not immediately. She's friendly enough to strangers, but acquaintances and even new friends will only ever be getting a surface version of her. She's naturally suspicious of people and isn't quick to be vulnerable with anyone.

[break][break]

✘ SYMPATHETICALLY-LIMITED - Amaya doesn't naturally try and walk in another person's shoes. She probably isn't the friend whose shoulder you want to cry on. It would be a little too harsh to call her completely apathetic, but she does struggle to be comforting in the face of someone else's misfortune. She won't immediately try to reason out or understand why someone is acting or feeling a certain way.

[break][break]

✘ GAMBLING ENTHUSIAST - There's something about that particular dumb risk that puts a dangerous light in Amaya's eyes and keeps a constant siphon on her personal coffer. She's got zero self-restraint.

[break][break]

✘ FICKLE - Amaya can be terribly capricious in her moods. One moment, she's happy and fine. But one little thing happens, or she remembers something randomly, and her mood is black and sour. She can be like a cat — one moment seeking companionship and laughs, the very next, brooding and wanting to be alone.
