Amara is a seventeen-year-old girl living in the mystical Gulrose Kingdom, a land where magic used to hum beneath the surface of everyday life. She stands at an average height, with a slender yet resilient build shaped by years of navigating both the enchanted forests and the harsh realities of her home life. Her long, chestnut-brown hair cascades in loose waves down her back, often adorned with wildflowers she weaves in for a touch of beauty and rebellion against her father’s stern outlook. Her most striking feature is her vibrant green eyes, which seem to hold the depth of the forest and a spark of untamed magic.
Thanks to a dark spell, she was born with an innate affinity for magic. Despite her abilities, her life is marred by the disdain of her father, William. A King with a heart hardened by grief and fear, William despises Amara’s magic, seeing it as a curse rather than a gift. This deep-seated resentment stems from the loss of his beloved wife, Catherine, who died shortly after giving birth to Amara. William’s sorrow twisted into hatred, as he irrationally blamed his daughter’s magical nature for his wife’s death.
To protect his family’s reputation and hide what he perceived as a dangerous secret, William keeps Amara hidden from his people for most of her life. She grew up isolated in their castle with only fleeting glimpses of the outside world. Her father’s strict rules and constant vigilance ensured that she remained a mystery to the people of Morkdimma Amara’s rare excursions were always under the cover of darkness or the guise of simple chores, never revealing her true self or her abilities.
Amara’s childhood has been a lonely one, filled with whispered words of “witch” and the cold shoulder of a father who could not see beyond his pain.
Amara navigates her world with a quiet resilience, finding solace and acceptance in the enchanted corners of the forest and the companionship in the books in the castle’s large library.
Despite her father’s animosity, Amara remains kind and hopeful, yearning for acceptance and love. She hides her magic from her father, practicing in secret glades and moonlit clearings. Her isolation has made her resourceful and self-reliant, but it has also instilled a deep longing for connection. Beneath her serene exterior lies a fierce determination to one day bridge the chasm between her and her father, to prove that her magic is not a curse, but a gift that can bring light and healing to their fractured lives.
