KH OC Week Day 2 - Bonds of the Heart

(Header artwork by @crezzstar​)

I really wanted to create some artwork involving even more characters Amaya meets along her journey, but due to a time crunch I haven’t been able to T_T But I figured I could at least go over the three most important people to Amaya from the start (and share some commissions/some of my own artwork ads;fsdk)!

Amaya has a unique bond growing up with the other members of the Destiny Squad. Click below the cut to find out more about her relationship with her younger brother Sora and her best friends Riku and Kairi!

A little over a year apart, Amaya and Sora are a very close brother and sister pair. Amaya’s more reserved, overly-cautious nature can sometimes bring up a rift between these two, especially when Sora expresses much enthusiasm over building a raft, which Amaya stands staunchly against. Still, she ultimately wants the best for him and wants to keep him safe, so for his and their friends’ sake, she does help out with some of the prep work and planning. 

Their family is very tight-knit and includes their mother, a nurse and excellent cook, their father, a fisherman, and their rambunction little sister Haru, who could use a lesson or two on boundaries xD They have a healthy dynamic at home, which makes it all the more heartbreaking when the Islands eventually disappear....

Without getting two spoilery, after the Islands disappear, their family is never the same. Sora and Amaya spend the majority of KH1 desperately trying to find each other, though they find themselves separated once more by the end of it and weave in and out of each other’s journeys from there on out. They both go through major transformations throughout their journeys and remain close throughout, but some changes do take their toll...

Kairi

As the girls of the squad, Kairi and Amaya have a fun bond of sisterhood. Amaya finds Kairi extremely easy to talk to, especially when stressed (which happens...quite often, to say the least). Though Kairi is younger and more carefree, Amaya always finds herself taking her advice into consideration when going through with things. The two also love watching crime shows and dramas, and going shopping together!

When the Islands disappear, it’s Kairi that Amaya worries the most about, her heart hurting at the thought of her best friend having to lose a home world again. While they are briefly reunited by the end of KH1, circumstances drive them apart once more. They spend quite a bit of time apart over the next year, with Kairi in Destiny Islands and Amaya in Hollow Bastion, but they don’t grow apart. In fact, Hollow Bastion serves as an avenue to uncover some previously unknown details about her friend’s past...

Riku

Complicated is probably the best word to describe Riku and Amaya’s relationship. Despite Amaya being Sora’s sister, being the same age she’s actually known Riku the longest. One could describe them as best frenemies at the start of the story - Amaya finds Riku’s cocky attitude irritating, and Riku has very little patience for Amaya’s constant naggy attitude towards many of his endeavors (including the infamous raft). Still, the two do acknowledge and respect one another’s intelligence, often still choosing to work together on school projects and the like.

Things change drastically when the Islands are destroyed. They are separated at first, but when they finally reunite, Amaya witnesses his slow spiral down the slipper slope of darkness. Riku’s actions and Amaya’s attitudes toward them affects their relationship greatly, to the point where they are completely alienated from one another. It is after Riku disappears into the realm of darkness that both parties are able to reflect on their actions. The year leading up to KH2 is a turning point in their relationship, where they must work together and learn to understand each other to play their respective parts in keeping Sora safe. 

When they rekindle their friendship, it’s stronger than ever, and though they must focus on the tasks ahead of them, it eventually becomes impossible for them to ignore the fact that their relationship has become something more...

To promote the H1Z1: King of the Kill tournament - Fight for the Crown - on the CW, I really wish they had a team from each D.C. Show play. It's a Fives tournament, so it's five people on a team (plus a coach, who could be a player from one of the teams participating in the tournament) playing basically a Hunger Games but with guns. Imagine a Team Supergirl, Team Arrow, Team Flash, Team LoT and Team iZombie all playing a round. Like how amazing would that be.

KH OC Week Day 1 - Intro

Back for another @khoc-week​ with my girl Amaya! It’s always such a joy to write for this girl <3 Here we’ve got her KH1 look from last year, as well as her new KH2 and KH3 designs!

A girl originally from Destiny Islands, Amaya shows a lot of hesitation towards her younger brother Sora and her best friends Riku and Kairi’s plan to build a raft and sail the seas towards a new world. Her objections are of no avail when her home is inexplicably destroyed and she finds herself in a whole new world. She is forced to adjust to her new surroundings and grow up as she journeys to find and protect those beloved to her and help restore balance to the worlds.

Amaya’s fic is still in its beginning stages, and I am so excited to return to it next month! In the meantime, I can’t wait to share more with you about her this coming week! If you’re interested in checking her story out, it’s available in the links below:

KH OC Week Day 3 - The Power Within

Made it just in time for Day 3!!! Had to rush today’s post tbh, so excuse the quick sketches, but these were really fun to do!

Amaya doesn’t really have many skills when it comes to combat or magic at first, nor does she take much interest in it. However, after finding herself alone in the worlds, she learned that the ability to defend oneself was an invaluable skill. The period during CoM/Days is a time of much growth for Amaya, as she works hard under the instruction of many teachers to improve her skills in the areas of agility, strength, and magic.

You might be able to tell from the pictures which area she ends up having the most affinity with ;)

This part of Amaya’s official story is admittedly still a little while away, but if you’re interested in catching up, here are the links to it!:
