Amaya Miyamoto - 雨女
Ameonna (雨女) - The Rain Woman
Name: Amaya Miyamoto
Nationality: Japanese
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes, if the rain comes...
Personal History: Amaya's mother was a flight attendants on JAL flight 771, and as with the other Drifters Amaya's mother died in childbirth. Her mother never gave a clue who her father might be. Amaya was raised by her mothers parents, in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto. Her grandfather was a groundskeeper at Nijō Castle, a place that Amaya saw as incredibly magical. Her grandfather would bring Amaya with him when he worked, he said she was good luck - she always seemed to bring the rain. Her grandmother was a timid but kind hearted woman, and she raised Amaya Shinto.
Amaya was a kind child, a good student, and had quite a curious nature. Her grandfather passed away when she was 16, from a stroke, which was quite a blow to both Amaya and her grandmother. Amaya left school at 17 and took two jobs; one at a convenience store and one cleaning offices, to support her grandmother. When her grandmother passed away two years later, Amaya sold the house and moved to Kyoto.
By the time she was 23, Amaya was living in a small flat with two other girls, working full time at a large chain bookstore. One night she went out with one of the girls drinking, and someone drugged her drink. She was found the next day in an alley, having been sexually assaulted and beaten. The police had no leads, especially as she was found in a large pool of water, which had washed away most of the evidence. Feeling violated and completely alone, Amaya moved in to her own small bedsit above a record store and withdrew from the world.
As her paranoia increased, she quit her job and took a new one at the record store below her flat, limiting her need to venture out into the world. The store owner (and her landlord), a friendly man named Masumi, introduced her to punk and rock music, and slowly she opened up to trust him. Amaya found solace in the loud, angry music which gave a voice to her own fears. Her wardrobe slowly changed to all black, and she became the store expert on anything hardcore. Eventually, under Masumi's influence, she sought help for her PTSD. In time, she grew a small but trusted friends circle, became an assistant manager at the store, and even casually dated a few men, though nothing lasted.
Two weeks before her 30th birthday, Amaya woke from a strange dream (in which a blinding red light was burning through Tokyo) to her flat completely flooded. She rang Masumi, assuming that a pipe in her ceiling had burst. Masumi was confused - there was no water pipe in the ceiling of her flat. Troubled by the strange incident, Amaya and Masumi went to get a cup of coffee at the all night diner on the corner, but Amaya was disoriented and had a strong headache. When she finally returned to her flat, she hastily packed an overnight bag, left a note for Masumi on the shop counter that read 'Gone to Tokyo, sorry', and caught the 6am Shinkansen - though she didn't understand why.
Alignment: Neutural
Abilities: The Ameonna can produce rain. They can make it rain outside, or inside, and control the area over which the rain will fall. If they drink rain they have summoned, they get a brief increase in strength and speed (for approximately 5 minutes).
Also, when it is not raining, they are able to pull water from the surrounding air and send it to a specific location, such as a bucket or bathtub, however they are limited to how much water is in the atmosphere at the time.
Weakness: Sometimes, The Ameonna will inadvertently create rain, in moments of heightened stress or emotion, including while asleep. They are often dehydrated, which can cause headaches, nausea, confusion and fainting.
