amara pocah'hontas
* tell us a little about yourself.I am not one for telling my personal story, but allright. My name is Amara Pocah'Hontas, I am twenty-two years old, born on Friday the first of April, a beautiful spring morning. As a child, I lived very much at peace, in Northern America. There were never any barriers or rules to stop one's desires. There were never any material goods, such as televisions or money. All of us lived in harmony. There were never any fights, or casualitys. A death would only occour when a person had completed their lives, and had to let their souls pass from the world, and forever live above, watching and protecting over us. I can see that I am wasting time speaking of nonsense that is not necessary, I shall go on. I was named after my greatest grandmother. My name symbolizes grace and softness. I do not fully feel that my name matches my person, but I am proud of my other name. Pocah'Hontas was our clan name. We were all family, and we were all happy. That was until strange pale-faced aliens arrived near our home. They took over our land, polluted our water, killed our animals. ...Well to the point, they destroyed our home. My father, any many other warroirs were also destroyed, trying to protect us. My people were forced to leave our land, and we had to start again, in they noisey, frightening world of North Carolina, in a city called Walten. My mother and I arrived very weak, and torn. We had left our lives behind. But now, we are making a life for ourselves. We have found a home, closed off from the city. It is surrounded by colours of green and brown. We claimed the land of the forest. It is hard to compare it to my birthplace, but we have decided to bury our pain and loss, and now we are both learning the new ways of the aliens. We know their language, and we can bond with them now. We now have to accept material goods. Money has turned into a need now. My people have also found the brighter side of life here. Some can work, and the others are with my mother and I, learning in a school called a College. The Pocah'Hontas people and I are not happy yet. We are enduring.
* what are some of your positive traits?Whenever I am comfortable with people, for example friends or family, I am very relaxed and care free. I trust my friends with all my heart, and I can only hope that they trust me aswell. I cannot force them to do it. I enjoy to have fun, even though I am no longer a child, I am a child inside. Not a practical joker, more of a free spirit. I love my natural surroundings. I loved my birthplace. I was free. I am a lovable person to my family. I love and respect my parents dearly. I care very much for my friends also, I treat them like family. I never take my work too seriously, I am always reminding myself of the good world that was first created all those years ago. I much prefer my old life, in North America. Some say I am foolish, but I think not. I adore the natural life. I am almost always outside, admiring the beauty of the earth. I am very adventurous, and I have no fear in trying new things, or even being slightly careless, I don't care. I believe that the world should have stayed how it was. The balance of life has tilted the wrong way. But I know I cannot save it alone. So for now, the life that I now own is what I have to lead. Another trait that some can argue is negative, is that I am honest. I do not believe in lies, and I feel that I should speak the truth, even if it is painful to hear. I am disliked and praised for it. If someone does not like me, then I let them do as they please. I cannot satisfy every living being. I have to respect everyone's choices, but if they were to deliberately convey their dislike towards me, I am not afraid to stand up for myself. I know when people are crossing the line, and sometimes it just happens. I know where my loyalties lie, especially to myself, and I will never let myself fall to another persons hands.
* what are some things that you can improve on?I have to say that I am very quick to judge, first impressions are quite important to me, and that is how some people have given up on trying to befriend me. If I have witnessed something that someone has done, and that I think is wrong, it will be hard for them to prove themselves to me. People have to earn my respect in order for me to respect them back. I don't care very much for my reputation, but I do care of a person is trying to harm me. I am a very secret person, I rarely show my feelings to a stranger, unless I am angry. First impressions are very important to me, but there have been moments when someone has proven their respect for me. Another, shall I say, flaw in myself, is that I find it very hard to trust someone, unless I have known them since ... well birth. My mother is whom I hold closest to me. That is all. I am generally quiet around strangers, and I would not speak unless I am spoken to. And that is rarely, seeing as some people seem to believe that I cannot speak English. I would not say I was shy, I just keep myself hidden when around people I do not trust. In my quick-judging and my trusting issues, I have become fairly stubborn, and bad-tempered. I do not like admitting it, it has only ever happened twice. But some people just do not understand how every miving creature has a significance, no matter how small or weak they are. People say I care too much about the enviroment aswell, but I don't see that as a negative aspect of myself. I said earlier, that I do not like to lie, nor do I like to be lied to, for that matter. It hits a nerve when I find out that someone has dis-respected me, and made a false statement that they have said to have been true, but infact, they are false. Even if that person is a friend, I cannot stand to be near them for a period of time. Lieing is a hideous act.
* what's your biggest secret? we won't tell.I'm ashamed of this, but when we were being invaded by those horrendous aliens, I came across one of them. He seemed different. Over a small amount of time, I found myself thinking a lot of him, and we would secretly meet, behind my father's back. It would pain me to see him, to know I was ...lying. But this strange person seemed to undestand me, without us really talking to eachother. He didn't know my language, and I didn't know his, but somehow, we bonded, and he taught me of his life, and him of mine. We both learned off eachother, but when the great battle occoured, I lost both himm and my father. I was never able to tell my father the truth. That I'd disobeyed him. Now he will never know, and I will have to suffer.
* what does your heart want?I'm not entirely certian as to what my heart wants. it is difficult to follow your heart when you are influenced by such affective cultures. I have only ever encountered another man whom I generally liked, not sure I loved, but I certianly liked him. He was like me, adventurous, playful, and he was somewhat interested in the balance of life. I suppose I am drawn to the people who are most like myself. I could not be with anyone who couldn't care less about the world. I am not one to think of my hearts desire, constantly. There are more important things, such as my mother, money (ugh), and finding a place to be in Walten City. A person would have to really prove themselves. They could never lie to me. Nor could they try to control me. I hate anyone who tries to force me to do as they want. I am independant, and a man must be able to let me be me.
* what do you do in your spare time?When I was younger, me and my people had to learn self-defence, and so when I moved to North Carolina, I was able to trust my body, to know how to defend myself well. Although, I do not see fighting as a hobby, it fills up my spare time, and it's certianly handy. I exeeded well, but so well that I was moving at a much faster pace. And with no patience to wait, I decided to leave. Now, I teach myself. My hobbies are found outside. I work best when I am in amongst fresh air, tall trees, and thick grass below my feet. I have to keep my body in shape, so I go running through my forest, for atleast an hour every day. I am very active, and I have to be moving almost all the time. I very much dislike having to go to school, but it pleases my mother to know I am learning, so I endure it. I have never been able to let go of my past life, so I have found other things to replace it. In the forest, I do a lot of climbing, it may seem childish, but it is a very good, and enjoyable excercise. I also take some of my time to learn about the wildlife that lives in the forest. My mother and I very much live in what people call a zoo. We love animals, and care for them when they need it. This is not so much of a hobby, more of a sport, but at the school, I am taking lessons in Archery. I learned that I am rather good at it, I have what they called a 'steady aim'. So now, I practice at home. People say it's bad to spend your whole life at home, but I don't mind it.
* so what does your family life look like?My father was chief of the Pocah'Hontas clan. He was a very strong, and admired protector. I have nothing but respect for him. And I love him dearly, although we have our family problems. He had wished for me to marry a man whom was far too strict. I could never have been wed to him. My father said he was loyal, strong, but he wasn't the one whom I was waiting for. I knew that much, and that was all I'd needed. When my father died, I thought that I would never be able to stand up from his corpse, I went through a long time of distress and pain, but I knew I had to save my people, or atleast try. And I was not alone. I was always much closer to my mother. I respect and obey her with no hesitation. She was much less eager to have me wed to that warrior. My mother knew that I wanted only to follow my heart, and he was not where it lead me.
* what are the memorable moments in your life?I will never forget the first time I saw those new, unrecognizable faces. They frightened me, but something was familiar. What scared me was how something so familiar can look so unusual. Their skin was almost white, they sounded very odd, I could not understand their words. But I do now, I can remember words that some of the people had said. Somehow, I could only remember the words of one man. His name was John Smith. Another odd thing was what they were called. Very strange words to call a person. The memory of seeing John the first time, it hurts. Because I knew him, knew him and liked him. And I had to lose him. My most memorable memories are all very depressing, I suppose. My father's dying words haunt me night and day. 'Protect our people'. I had found him wounded, shot by the weapons the pale-faces had been using. I suppose this is just one big memory, but I can't forget the look of our home when it had been destroyed. I could not walk, nor speak. It was horrific, seeing our world dying before is, and unable to stop it. It was a long time before I was struck with the realization, that we had lost the battle, and lost our land.
* so we've heard that you're a lot like pocahontas
name: 'amara' is an african name, meaning 'grace'. pocahontas is a very graceful and careful character. the last name is fairly obvious. changed, however, to look like a name found in an north american clan.
play by: leona lewis shares the same native-american look as pocahontas. they both have long, thick dark brown hair, and deep brown eyes. their skin is a beautiful bronze colour, and their lips have the same full look. they both have the natural beauty, no need for cosmetics or make-up. leona has a very athletic figure, but with the feline quality that pocahontas shares.
positive traits: they are both very close to the natural world, and can somehow connect to it. they are both very comfortable when with people they trust.
negative traits: both amara and pocahontas have a great difficulty in trusting people. but they also have a way of getting themselves into trouble, and the only caus is curiosity. when pocahontas first saw john smith, she was first afraid at what she saw. something different, but pocahontas wanted to find out what the hell this thing was, and so she followed him, trying not to be seen. but when she is, she is suddenly in defence mode, and runs. amara and pocahontas both judge on first impressions. they are too quick to decide if they like someone or not.
orientation: it's not clear if pocahontas is totally straight. she is very close to her friend, nakoma, but i'm guessing it'd just be sisterly love. it's clear that pocahontas has never experienced true love before john smith, and she prefers the adventurous men, who aren't so serious, like kocoum. amara is straight, but hasn't had much experience in her heart, but she knows she wants it.
turn ons: they aren't afraid of trying something new, and they like people who are close to their own persona.
turn offs: pocahontas and amara hate the idea of having someone decide for them, and they don't like the kocoum character.
spare time: they both adore being outside, and adventurous. they can never just sit around and watch the clouds go by.
family life: they were both daughter of a chief, and so in a way, princesses.
memorable moments: their home was invaded, both pocahontas and amara defied their father, and they went against the tradition of an arranged marriage.this application was written by ray, who also plays nobody.
