Amalia Van Ornell

Amalia Van Ornell, also known as Reaver, is a mercenary working for the slayer brotherhood as a member of the Andromeda group. She is one of the main characters of the main series and plays a major role during all of the planned seasons of the show.

She is first introduced in Episode 1 of Season 1 as a new recruit to Andromeda having just transferred from the Cerberus group. During the first Arc of the season she is easily the most active character as she participates in almost all fights and major events during it. She has a less significant role during the 2nd and 3rd Arcs as other characters are given the spotlight but has a larger role to play during Arc 4.

Appearance
Amalia has shoulder length blonde hair which she usually keeps down, Sky blue eyes and young features. She usually wears a long sleeved brownish gray shirt, a black vest, a tool belt and gray pants. She wears two gauntlets containing her twin blades on top of the sleeves of her shirt. She does not care about making herself look presentable and as such her face and hair are often dishevelled and bruised.

Personality
Amalia has both a childish and innocent side as well as a more serious yet reckless side to her personality. She is quite social towards most people and acts caringly towards those she considers her friends, but she holds grudges for a very long time and doesn't easily forgive those who have done something wrong to her. She has trouble following orders and is often reckless in combat. She chooses to trust her abilities instead of taking a moment to think things through. She is often shown to have a little too much faith in her Necroan abilities which often puts her in harms way and gets her into dangerous situations.

She has clear disdain for members of the Alliance due to trauma and bad experiences she had with them during the time she spent as a wanderer on Necroa. This is seen in how she treats John Fox and Robert Callahang when they first meet. Apart of the Alliance, Amalia also both fears and hates Genewarriors, this is due to the fact that an as of yet unknown member of the group slaughtered her family on Necroa, she was able to sense the aura of the person responisble through her soul power and has remembered it since. Due to this hatred she attempted to kill Nigel Khornewal when they first came into contact in Arc 3.

History
Amalia was born into the Van Ornell family, a relatively influential family on Necroa. She spent most of her childhood playing with her four siblings and exploring the forests around her home town of Junica. It was during her childhood that she first noticed her sensitivty to auras emmitted by living creatures, although she was not yet able to make sense of any of them. When she was around ten years old Junica was attacked by an as of yet unidentified member of the Genewarriors who slaughtered the entire town excluding Amalia and her brother, Jonas Van Ornell, who was not home at the time. She senced the aura of the warrior while they were killing her family and memorized it, she vowed to one day find the Genewarrior responsible and kill them just as painfully as they did her family.

Amalia spent four years (Ages 10-14) as a homeless wanderer on Necroa, she used survival skills her older brother had taught her to forage and hunt for food. She was mostly isolated from society during this time, only meeting a few hunters here and there. She eventually found her way to the capital of Necroa, Hadea, where she settled to live amongst the homeless population. When she was 15 she came into contact with an Alliance governor named Ludo Gebrick, who invited her to live in his mantion. She accepted but soon found out that Ludo simply wanted to use her for his personal pleasure. She one day accidentally killed Ludo by pushing him off a balcony after he had tried to assault her, this was spotted by a few guards stationed at the mantion and Amalia was arrested. She was sent to Odyr prison where she was tortured for information as the Alliance believed her to be an assasin sent to kill Ludo Gebrick. Amalia eventually managed to escape by using her superior Necroan strength to over power the guards as they came to escort her to the torture chamber.

After her escape from Odyr prison, Amalia came into contact with Lee Kaitos, a Slayer Brotherhood captain in command of the Cerberus group. Lee had heard of Amalia from passing rumours and news and had saught her out in order to recruit her into the group. Although wary at first she eventually accepted after getting to know Lee a little more. Amalia spent three years as a member of Cerberus and for the first time in years she actually felt happy about life. She met another mercenary during her time in the group, Faux Monsier, who she became quite close with and eventually began dating. Sadly Faux turned out to be quite abusive towards Amalia and simply used her as a pawn in his scheme to overthrow Lee Kaitos as the captain of Cerberus. Faux was eventually succesful and became the new captain of the Cerberus group, he appointed Amalia as his second in command in an attempt to keep her happy, but Amalia used this position to get into contact with the higher ups of the brotherhood and requested a transfer to a different group. This request was approved and Amalia was set to transfer to the Andromeda group. Amalia lied to Faux that it was just going to be a diplomatic visit to make him approve and was succesful. Faux did accompany Amalia to Terra during the transfer but was forced to leave after Amalia's true intentions were revealed to him.

Now Amalia stands as a valuable and respected member of the Andromeda group and considers the other members to be her new family.

Abilities
Combat abilites: Amalia's combat style is not very well refined, she chooses to trust her strength instead of developing any specific style. Nevertheless this is usually enough as her Necroan blood gives her a large advantage over most opponents

Necroan heritage: Amalia's Necroan bloodline gives her some abilities normal humans do not posses


 * Strenght: Due to having been born as a member of the Necroan sub species of human, Amalia posesses vastly superior physical strength compared to most other humans. She has beaten most of the other characters in an arm wrestling match, aside from Nigel Khornewal who is around equal to her in raw strength when in his normal state.


 * Immunity: Amalia's Necroan heritage also gives her an extremely strong immune system, she is immune to most common diseases as well as many poisons and other toxins. So far no one has been able to harm her using attacks that rely on poison or other toxic substances.

Soul Power: Alongside her Necroan strengths, Amalia was also born with the Soul Power of Aura Sensitivity. This ability allows her to sense the Auras of living creatures. From these auras she can read various information such as emotions, mental state and personality, she is even able to determine some sort of "power level" from the aura, but this is unreliable and somewhat inaccurate. She can memorize these auras to recognize the person or being they are connected to even without seeing them or hearing their voice, but similiar auras can be confused together such as the time Amalia confused Khornewal's aura with the aura of the Genewarrior that attacked her village. There are also side effects to this ability, certain types of auras can affect Amalia mentally or even physically, such as the way that the auras of dark vortex users caused her shortness of breath, and how Khornewal's aura while in his Wrath state caused her to faint.
