Accuracy 11, Damage 6L, Parry DV 6, Rate 3<br/><br/>Background:<br/>Generally speaking, it's a bad sign when the daughter of a Fire-aspected warrior line Exalts while taking a test in school.  It's worse when she Exalts as an Aspect of Water.  The fact that Amaya still had no particular interest in joining the legions was just icing on the cake.<br/><br/>It's not that her family doesn't like Amaya -- it's hard not to<em>like</em>her -- but Amaya is a little too good-natured and not nearly violent enough to suit their tastes.  Amaya is the granddaughter of the warlord Yan Sing Iniro, and her breeding is obvious despite her unfortunate aspect, but Amaya would rather emulate Sextes Jylis than Hesiesh or Mela.<br/><br/>Amaya would like nothing better than to study medicine, and several of her teachers have been impressed enough with her skills to pull strings and gain her access to powerful healing artifacts.  Her family, however, has decided that if they can't get her to fight, Amaya's Water aspect may as well be useful to them in other ways, and she's been shunted into the Spiral Academy.  The legions will have plenty of paperwork for her when she graduates.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/>Amaya stands about 5'4", with deep blue-green skin, and long black hair that flows like gentle waves.  A lovely young woman, she usually dresses in moderate colors.  Amaya usually carries a satchel emblazoned with the mon of Sextes Jylis, and despite her aversion to violence, she wears a pair of curved swords strapped to her back.  Although she hardly resembles Balaz, something about her stance and motion is very reminiscent of him, and she displays exactly the same sea-salt scent.<br/><br/><br/>Amaya's Retainers:<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div

well.  She feels privileged to serve one of the Exalted, and that's only partially because it's a pretty cushy job.  Generally eager to please, Eriko is still a touch intimidated by her Dragon-Blooded employer, even though Amaya isn't exactly strict or cruel.  Brown-hair and spectacled, Eriko can usually be seen with a sheaf of papers in hand.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div

deal with -- making him happy to stay on despite the fact that she probably doesn't need him now that she's Exalted.  He does wish to someday be free, although he's not sure what kind of life he could really make at his age.  Tall and powerfully built despite nearing middle age, Vel has short blond hair and goes fully armed just about everywhere.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div
