Unlike comic book incarnations, Amaya has not nor will ever see her homeland. Dark Opal, seen more as a force rather than a corrupt sorcerer or aspect of chaos, serves as more of a warning of the dangers of magic rather than a central antagonist. Amaya’s Earth and its relation to magic is a lot more open, a result of historical happenstance, though a happenstance that has changed Amaya’s childhood, life experiences, and personality. The plucky optimistic princess is not the Amaya that people have known on her world, but rather a more cynical rough-and-tumble one instead. Her powers have become in-line with these events, though they aren’t too different than Prime or New Earth variations of the character outside of redacting Amaya being a Lord of Order and being able to go head-to-head with Mordru. She can understand any language in the multiverse due to her bloodline being blessed by a fae creature, she can utilize magic in a raw form, has magically-enhanced durability, is an expert swordsman and capable hand-to-hand combatant, and she can form magic into crystals with various effects. She’s always had to think on her feet, so she hasn’t focused too much on one area over the other.

That’s not to say everyone on Earth has known about it. In the 6th Century, the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, Myrddin, sealed magic away using druid spells to separate the world of the mundane and the arcane. As a result, he and Morgana were cast into the veil to never be seen from again. That reality existed up until the 1940s when Hitler’s obsession with the occult led to the foundation of HYDRA and the veil was once again torn asunder. In some realities this plot was stopped by Steve Rogers, otherwise known as Captain America. In others the plot never happened. But on Earth-83, neither of these things happened. The Red Skull successfully destroyed the weakened nexuses that prevented the material plane and other planes from merging. World War 2 was forever changed and with Captain America killed in the act, there was no stopping it. However, this proved a double-edged sword for the Third Reich as they could not comprehend what they had done. With magical energies exploding across the planet as interplanear rifts the reappearance of creatures of myth and legend causes alarm. Not even the Sorcerer Supreme is capable of stopping it. Nearly forty years later, a sixteen year old girl by the name of Amy Winston becomes the next great hero in this new, magical landscape. Her adventures are notable for the next decade, though she never finds the ability to fix the mess Hitler started. Amy Winston--Princess Amaya of the Amethyst Dynasty--is no sorceress supreme, but she has found herself capable along others such as Zatanna Zatara, John Constantine, and Wanda Maximoff whom she considers the best chance the world has against the forces of darkness. [/color][/indent] [color=B675AD][b]| Brief Character Background |[/b][/color] [indent][color=gray]Amaya has lived her life as Amy Winston since her mother took refuge on Earth after their homeworld was consumed by the Dark Opal, a dark magic that even to this day she still isn’t sure what the true story is. She’s never sought out the death wish that is to return to the world of gems, though a lot of that has been due to the fact her life on a wildly magical Earth is a little more pressing than family pride or personal curiosity. When a supernatural being attacked her High School when she was sixteen-years-old Amaya took to stepping in to make sure her classmates didn’t get hurt. Magical events like this may have been common, but Amy wasn’t going to sit on her thumbs when she could use her personal magical heritage to protect her classmates. She earned a nickname from the event. Amethyst. Witnessing this and other events throughout her teenaged adventures, Amaya was certain that something even more evil and powerful than the Dark Opal would try to twist Earth, especially now that it was four decades into being invaded by magic. This would be the preface to her adventures as a vigilante and force for showing people that magic was good in nature. Cut to ten years later, in the cold winter of 1994. Earth’s prominence with magic and the continued coexistence has caught the eye of many malevolent creatures of magical origin. Manhattan is under siege by two demons named S'ym and N'astirh and at their back an army of demons. In other realities they needed a conduit to enter Earth, in Amaya's reality they just needed to wait for the right door to open. Amaya has been facing down the demons for several months and things did not appear to getting any better. However, before Amaya could convene with the rest of the resistance against S'ym and N'astirh, she was snatched away by forces unknown. At this point, she's kind of used to this shit happening, but the timing couldn't be worse. [/color][/indent]
