Lady Amaru – [Serpent]
Background:
Amaru is a cursed dragon from Indonesia, she inspired by the ancient folklore of Antaboga and the Balinese naga. Only little is known about her true origins, and even the realm’s scholars cannot determine what kind of dragon she truly is. Some believed she was a malformed naga, while some locals from Bali feared she was something far older, a creature born from an ancient curse.
She's blind since birth and very weak. Amaru was seen as defective and useless by her own kind. They feared her as an bad omen of disaster, she was abandoned and left to die into the ocean and washed ashore, where the beach had snow. She was barely alive, the newborn creature resembled nothing more than a tiny serpent with fragile wings.
During the era of the new timeline, Bi-Han's mother discovered the strange creature washed ashore on a quiet beach not far from the Lin Kuei territory. The newborn was barely alive, its small body covered in wounds, with the appearance of a serpent yet possessing delicate wings unlike any animal she had ever seen. Unable to leave it there to die, she carefully brought the creature back home.
Knowing her eldest son's cold and distant nature, she decided to give the tiny being to Bi-Han as a gift, hoping perhaps it would spark something within him. At first, the young Bi-Han showed little interest in the injured creature. Yet his curiosity quickly took hold. He had never seen a species like it before, a snake-like being with wings.
Though lack of compassion even as a child, Bi-Han found the creature fascinating. He began quietly caring for it in his own way, keeping it hidden from the other Lin Kuei warriors within the household after his mother eventual death. What started as mere curiosity slowly became attachment, though Bi-Han himself would never openly admit it.
The creature was eventually named "Amaru" which means "serpent".
As the years passed, Amaru grew alongside Bi-Han. Despite her blindness, she developed an unnatural awareness of her surroundings, able to sense movements and voices, memorising them too. Not many of the Lin Kuei, including Bi-Han brothers, knew about her existence.
Over time, Bi-Han began using Amaru for more than companionship. Small enough to move unnoticed and silent enough to avoid suspicion, she became his personal spy within the Lin Kuei. Amaru would stalk the clan's halls, the pillars, or the ceilings, secretly observing his brothers or the Lin Kuei followers and listening in on conversations about rivalries, betrayals, and hidden plans.
Though Bi-Han may sounded kind toward her at times, Just remembered that when Amaru was still incredibly young and impressionable, He also taught her about cruelty, manipulation, and wrongdoing, shaping her view of the world from an early age. The lessons he fed her slowly became engraved in her mind, blurring what is right or wrong, Making her think it was the right doing.
Eventually, Few suspected that the strange winged serpent lurking in the darkness was reporting everything back to Bi-Han, who eventually scolded them for talking nonsense.
Personality:
Despite being known as a cursed or defected dragon, Amaru is strangely cheerful, overly friendly, and light-hearted, often behaving far more childishly than most expect.
Amaru enjoys keeping things simple when meeting new people. However, Amaru struggles to fully understand human emotions and morality. She may joke during tense moments or speak sweetly while discussing cruel actions, not out of malice alone, but because her perception of right and wrong has been heavily shaped by Bi-Han.
Her relationship with Bi-Han:
Amaru's relationship with Bi-Han is entirely platonic, built on years of loyalty, trust, and mutual understanding rather than romance or something else.
Having grown up alongside him since childhood, Amaru sees Bi-Han as the only person she feels dependent on or to follow, while Bi-Han views her as one of the few beings he can tolerate.
Despite Bi-Han's cold and intimidating nature, Amaru is one of the rare individuals to mock (not harshly) or tease him openly. She especially enjoys provoking him about his closeness with Sektor, often making sarcastic remarks whenever the two spend excessive time discussing Lin Kuei affairs or experiments together.
Bi-Han usually responds with irritation or dismissive silence, though Amaru continues purely because she finds his reactions amusing.
Does Amaru support Bi-Han’s actions? :
Yes, completely.
Amaru is very supportive of Bi-Han's ambitions and she believed what Bi-Han is doing is for the greater good of the clan. She does not know it is wrong but she is very careless.
Amaru also assisted Sektor in secret, particularly during the development of the Lin Kuei.
Ability:
Amaru possesses the ability to shapeshift, most commonly taking the form of a winged serpent. The size of this form changes depending on the age she chooses to present herself as.
When appearing as a young dragon, Amaru becomes a small, no longer than 10-20 cm, making it easy for her to hide within clothing, shadows, or narrow spaces unnoticed (she likes to hide in Bi-Han coat). In this form, she often appears harmless and fragile, which allows her to spy on others without drawing suspicion.
However, as she grew older, her true serpent form became far larger and more intimidating. In adulthood, Amaru can reach lengths of up to 450 cm, she could wrap herself around someone and crush them. She can still shapeshift into being a small snake if she wants to.
One of her strangest abilities is her power to alter not only her form, but also her apparent age.
Amaru can shift between appearing childlike, youthful, or fully mature at will, though it remains unclear whether this is true shapeshifting or an illusion tied to the curse within her. Because of this, very few people know what her real appearance or true age actually is.
(A/N: This is just for fun btw! Im so sorry if its out of context or inaccurate to the story plus horrible design of the character, The outfit is actually her normal outfit on off duty🙏🙏)
