oh this sounds like so much fun :v preference for the early morning Saturday time; unscored
Notes and Homework: - just generally noting that Amaranth's canon powers go from "general wuxia/ffxiv badass" to "frankly absurd" when fighting either with or against a group, particularly large groups
Inner Fears: - her family/children dying, particularly due to her failing to protect them (this has got to be one of the worst-kept secrets in imeeji by now) -- a closely related fear, largely stemming from imeeji experiences: being forced to kill one of her children herself; this might be due to madness/corruption on her or their part
- having her precious people taken from her—even worse if they are changed (or corrupted) into people she can no longer recognize as "good" (Interwoven with this fear, the question: Would something like this be her fault, for being unable to adapt? Too rigid in her ideals and rejected for it? She is also, frankly, specifically jealous of Cardinal's relationship with Intensity, though she has never admitted this to anyone.)
- another imeeji-specific fear: turning into some kind of avenging dryad/plant monster ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Betrayal!Amaranth is the other half of the puzzle for all those people who have plant phobias now.)
- It hasn't occurred to Amaranth to fear this, but for her, the only thing that could compete with "all your kids die in front of you and it's your fault" is abandoning her own convictions.
