[Madrona A’Mia]

I want to start by saying, Thank you so much for the nominations Gerwald Lechner and Liorra . It was a very pleasant surprise! I also really appreciate all the votes I've received, and feel so grateful that so many people enjoy writing with or reading about A'Mia's antics.

Since folks had questions and I love a lore drop, here are some answers and some extras. I'll answer all the questions asked as best I can, not just the ones directed at me:

• Thalen Elaeko asked "If everything else has to go, what one thing would you keep?"— Not entirely sure if I'm understanding correctly but I'll assume its about my character's personal items/ belongings and the one thing she'd choose to keep above all else at this point is her Orchid Core as it's integral to future plans.
• Ger asked "What does the future hold for our favorite Neti?"— Oh goodness this is a broad question and I have grand machinations! However, her current arc is the quiet acquisition of power from the backdrop and shadows, whilst forming tight alliances and testing the waters of likely foes. Her most personal plot points revolve around her desire to perfect her body and mind, to heal that which she was born with (clinical psychopathy) and empower herself beyond current natural restraints. Passion is multifaceted but A'Mia has never felt she can quite interact with it as a Sith should. As to her ultimate ambitions? I'll keep those cards close to the chest for the time being
• Akyla Rein (Skars) asked "Droids or living species?"— So the thing that always stands out to me in Star Wars is the droids. Droids are the heart of Star Wars for me, full stop. That said, I love seeing cool beasties and strange species! Honestly I wanted to write a Neti because they are so unique and bizarre when compared to most other humanoids.
• Liorra asked "How does our lovely Neti see themselves whilst in the middle of all the Sith and their machinations?"— OOoooh! Well as mentioned above, A'Mia is both a bit neurodivergent in a rather spooky sense and she's also very much not human or near human. So first and foremost, she often sees herself as a bit of an impartial observer. She of course has her biases and personal ambitions, but she considers herself to better at seeing the "big picture" than a lot of her peers do. She also sees herself as rather "fair" or balanced in comparison, even though she has absolutely committed atrocities and brutality in the name of science, A'Mia thinks she's really rather reasonable and level headed. She enjoys that many around her seem to have a bloated sense of self importance or self righteousness because she can often fly under their radar. All that said, A'Mia absolutely fan girls over the work of Taeli Raaf lol
• Kiera Sifdin-Skell asked "how chaotic are you willing to go with this character before you decide to finally move onto another one?"— I know this question wasn't for me but A'Mia is definitely getting more chaotic (I blame the adopted little bro Lysander von Ascania )
• CT-312 asked "What are your three favorite smells?"— A'Mia loves the smell of fresh rain, blood, and recently turned soil.
• Persephone Dashiell asked "What is one character driven story you would tell if there were no limitations on your time/energy/ability to find a writing partner/etc ?"— Hmmm I would love to write a murder mystery from start to finish (like play the actual game of deduction and people filling various roles Clue style), and I currently have a very ambitious plot arc in the works with my other character Naami which will ultimately lead to his spiral to the darkest depths of rock bottom. No spoilers on that though, since there's still so much left to write and see how it plays out.

Bonus Material! Anyone that writes with me probably knows I build playlists for all my characters. Music, mood boards, and other ways to figure out the vibes and aesthetics for any given scene are a huge part of my writing process. Here is the Spotify playlist for A'Mia, and below I'll have screenshots for anyone curious to listen to some of her music but who don't use Spotify. Mushrooms/DeadPeople by Meredith Bull, Mile Magnificent by Molly ofgeography, Into The Mist by Eivør, & Running Cold by Besomorph are my top favorites for her right now.

Fun Fact: when I first joined Chaos, A'Mia's tag was @ A'Mia Madrona but something within the coding of the site didn't like the apostrophe being so close to the front of the tag. So I had to ask for a fix and that's why her tag is backward If you've gotten this far into my rambles, thank you! I appreciate the votes and all the love for my weird eldritch Sith lady.
