Character Background

• History: here
• Core Relationships:

ISSUN: Issun, a traveling artist, started off traveling with Ammy only to learn the 13 Brush Techniques that she had to regain-- and by the end of their journey where they have to part ways, Issun shows conflict (and so does Amaterasu). Countless of times, Amaterasu protects him and eventually spends her entire time on Earth with him before parting to the Arc of Yamato. Thus, they become rather close friends that eventually even helps save Amaterasu during the last boss battle against Yami (Issun spreads the word of Amaterasu with his art and gives her countless prayers to boost her godhood).
WAKA: Waka often mocks Amaterasu throughout the game, but then again he is very playful. While during initial meetings with him, Amaterasu would growl, but as her godhood restores, their bond thickens and strengthens into one of mutual respect and friendship. Waka had once even taken a blow for Ammy and had been considered dead, and when he returned (weak, injured), Amaterasu slobbered kisses all over him. They both then returned to the Celestial Plains together and succeeded in spreading happiness across Nippon, together.

Character Personality Through Key Moments

(2+) Positive Experiences:
— DYNAMIC: Amaterasu is very dynamic, a proactive character that is always on the move and possibly acts before doing anything else. This could be exampled in on of the early boss fight cut scenes, when the Spider Queen is about to devour Issun; Ammy leaps into action immediately after seeing the problem, catches Issun in her mouth and does a backflip right the hell out of the way. The wolf has moves.
— WARM: Would you expect any different from the origin of all that is good and mother to all? Amaterasu is warm in far more ways than simply being kind. Her duty in life is to spread happiness and banish evil from humankind. Seeing people and children upset, in trouble or in need of help upsets her, to the point that she does everything in her power to make things right. Examples of this include some of the more serious quests in the game like getting rid of demons and possessions, to the most simple of them: digging up a lady’s crops because the kids want some fun.
(2+) Negative Experiences:
— IMPULSIVE: Amaterasu is impulsive and has in plenty of moments jumped into a situation without thinking. While this may be positive (demonstrated under the “dynamic” trait above), negatively, this shines through by Amaterasu getting into more trouble than necessary. A scene that comes to mind is when she falls off a cliff because she didn’t think to look for ground.
— SHORT ATTENTION SPAN: Amaterasu has a short attention span and unfortunately may get bored rather quickly— and she is not above showing that to her viewers. If NPCs begin to tell long stories or talk too much during the game, Amaterasu has been shown to express disinterest that frowns with yawning, looking away, and then simply laying down and napping right in the middle of the conversation. No juice? Yawn!

Deer Country Attributes

• Canon Powers: this is a little long, please bare with me!

Amaterasu has a lot of abilities available to her. Not only is she originally a Goddess (who is well equipped to spiritual sensing and reacting offensively to malicious or demonic possessions), but she's also a wolf, and a wolf comes as a separate package!

The senses are very important to a wolf. Smell is a wolf's most developed and greatest asset— The ability is one hundred times greater than a human's ability to smell, and twelve times more when compared to the average domestic dog. Next to smell, their sense of hearing is the next best thing! While the domestic dog can hear about sixteen times better than a human can, the wolf can do it better. Depending on the obstacles around them, such as trees and buildings, wolves are able to pick up frequencies and sounds an estimated ten miles away from where it stands.

A wolf's powerful legs and large paws were built for speed and agility- and Ammy is no exception. A wolf can maintain an average speed of twenty-five miles per hour, its fastest limit being thirty-five to forty miles per hour. Now, it is possible that Ammy could be faster than this, considering her divinity— but just to keep things safe, we'll keep the top speed at forty.

Lastly, we have the built in weapons. Teeth, fangs, and claws. Self explanatory, these can do enough damage on their own. Jaws, for example: It's said that a wolf's bite strength can reach up to one thousand five hundred pounds per square inch.

As a goddess, Ammy is well equipped with divine and supernatural abilities. The most important (and the most stressed) in the game, is the use of the Celestial Brush and the techniques that go with it (the brush being her tail). There are thirteen techniques learned from the various brush gods, and I'll list them below.
 

(sunrise): this is Ammy's own ability. As the sun goddess, she can naturally bring out the sun, by simply drawing a circle in the sky.

(rejuvenation): this allows Ammy to restore and fix damaged objects, whether it be a broken bridge, a shallow lake, or a damaged water mill, by filling the broken area with ink.

(power slash): by drawing a straight line through an enemy, a rock, or an object, Amaterasu can slash and cut through things swiftly and silently.

(greensprout): now, there are three different techniques under the greensprout category, the first one being Bloom. By drawing a circle around a tree, ( in some cases, a target ), or a dead patch of plants, this allows them to bloom with health. Under bloom, by drawing a dot or line on the grass, Ammy can sprout temporary trees and patches of flowers. ( it can be noticed that when she's running, flowers bloom behind her, then shortly after, disappear ). Next is the Water Lily. By drawing a circle in the water, a giant lily pad appears! Big enough for her and for others to jump on. It's okay, it'll support almost anyone! Now, lastly, is Vine. When an open Konohana blossom is spotted, a vine can be formed between Ammy and the blossom by drawing a squiggly line that connects the two, allowing her to swing from blossom to blossom. Like a canine Tarzan.

(cherry bomb): by drawing an upside down Q, Ammy can create cherry bombs. As the fuse grows shorter, there's enough time to roll them around. Once coming in contact with a solid, a target, or fire, it explodes immediately. Only one can be drawn at a time, causing the first to explode on site if another is painted.

(waterspout): like greensprout, waterspout also has different categories under the technique itself. If there is a source of water available, by drawing a line from water to fire, or an enemy, the water can drench them and put out them flames-- only if the water is already pre-existing! Next is Deluge. By drawing two vertical lines, Ammy is able to summon temporary rain

(crescent): by drawing a crescent in the sky, the moon can be summoned and turn day into night.

(galestorm): by drawing a loop, a gust of wind can be summoned. By drawing three horizontal lines, a whirlwind can come crashing through.

(inferno): similar to waterspout, if an existing fire source is present, Ammy can catch things on fire by drawing a line to it. By drawing the infinity symbol, she can create fire across a large area .

(veil of mist): by drawing two horizontal lines, it's possible for time around her to slow down to a near stop for up to four seconds.

(catwalk): this allows Ammy to walk up walls- only if the statue of Kabegami is present. Therefore, this technique wouldn't be usable.

(thunderstorm): with an overhead lightening storm present, Ammy can summon a thunderbolt, or, she can do the same by drawing a zigzag

(blizzard): and lastly, we have blizzard. By using an existing ice source, it's possible to freeze the target. It's also possible to create a temporary ice storm, by drawing a six pointed asterisk.
 

All these techniques combined can be dangerous- though, it's also possible for Ammy to lose these abilities. There's a limit to how much she can do at a time, depending on her ink supply. Once it runs out, Ammy temporary loses her divine markings and instrument, reverting to a plain old white wolf, until the ink pots refill.

And, last but not least! A very important thing- perception. A character will be able to see Ammy in one of three different ways, and that will depend on the following. If the character in question is either (a) a divine being, (b) a ghost/spirit,or (c) a person who has a very strong, devoted, unmoving belief in their religion/spirits/the Gods, or a God, they will see Ammy as the goddess she is- still a white wolf, but she will appear a bright, glowing, almost illuminating white, the crimson markings on her body will be visible, as well as the weapon on top of her back, solar flare, and the small, celestial-like swirls/wings on each paw, with bigger ones on her shoulders.

If, by chance, a character is none of the above mentioned, all they will see is a white wolf.

The third instance, is if the character is an animal. It has been mentioned, in-game, that animals are able to see and/or sense that she is . . . not something out of the ordinary. ( For instance, her smell is definitely something different. A delightful, yet strange, alien scent. She might look a bit too bright, coat wise, and her markings might be visible to some. )

• Blood Type: coldblood
• Omen: a dolphin;
• Blessed Day: may
• Patron Pthumerian: bausphomette; This patron will greatly interest Amaterasu in the fact that they are both lupine and share plenty of characteristics (and clash in a few, such as constant proactivity-- sometimes, Amaterasu can be lazy or bore with long speeches)! Mostly, they would get along more than not.
• Blood Power Manifestation: No exact power manifestation, since her own powers are enough (and may even compliment her warping of the elements). Her blood will easily be used as jewelry and given as holy weapons to others, though, her fire being a rainbow one just like the one she wields!
