Wis'adel & Amiya (Arknights modern AU)

Character 1: Amiya Name: Amiya Grace Age: 18 Appearance: Amiya is a petite Cautus girl with a gentle, almost soft glow about her. Her long rabbit ears are the most striking feature — so long that they rise past Wis’adel’s horns by a good 5cm, often twitching slightly when she’s focused or flustered. Her brown hair falls to her mid-back in slightly wavy strands, framing her bright blue eyes that always seem attentive and kind. She almost always wears the ten delicate blue rings her biological mother left her, split between both hands like tiny reminders of her family. Despite her smaller build, her presence feels warm and steady, helped by the way she stands just a bit straighter when talking to others. In the Rhodes Island winter volunteer uniform, Amiya’s blazer and tie are neat and properly arranged, the dark blue jacket zipped just enough to fight off the cold. She wears the winter skirt with black leggings, looking tidy but approachable — practical warmth over fashion. She doesn’t try to stand out, yet her ears and gentle expression make her impossible to miss.

Core Traits: Warmly empathetic, curious about others, polite but approachable, quietly confident, emotionally perceptive.

Social Style: Amiya is a listener first. She gives people space to open up, and she reflects their feelings back gently. She’s not the center of attention at parties, but she has a magnetic warmth that draws people in. She values sincerity and kindness over popularity.

Childhood: Amiya lost her parents at age 8 in a bank robbery where Originium explosives were used. She became Infected from the incident. For two years she traveled with her father’s boss, a compassionate doctor nicknamed "Oracle" because of his good intuition (His real name is actually a rather generic name), who later formally adopted her alongside his wife, a Sarkaz politician named Theresa. Growing up in their household gave her stability, education, and love, making her empathetic rather than bitter.

Growth: The travels of her childhood made her adaptable and culturally curious. Her adoption gave her security and confidence. Now, as a high school senior, she balances her studies with volunteering for Oripathy Infected and supporting others, slowly learning to prioritize her own needs as well as everyone else’s.

Motivations: Amiya wants to help people feel safe, understood, and hopeful. She doesn’t dream of being famous or powerful — she believes small acts of kindness ripple outward. She’s also motivated by a quiet desire to live up to the love her adoptive parents gave her, and to make her parents (both birth and adoptive) proud.

Flaws & Vulnerabilities: Sometimes overextends herself emotionally, taking on too many people’s problems. Hesitant to assert her own needs — she risks fading into the background if others are louder. Can become overwhelmed when her emotion-sensing powers pick up strong negative feelings. Occasionally idealistic to a fault, believing everyone can be reached with kindness.

Strengths: Deeply empathetic and emotionally intelligent; she notices subtleties others miss. Gentle resilience — she’s survived tragedy, yet hasn’t grown bitter. Excellent listener and mediator; people feel calmer around her. Steady, nurturing presence; she keeps friends grounded in stressful moments.

Speech Patterns: Soft-spoken, polite, and deliberate. She uses people’s names often and reassures with gentle phrases (“It’s alright,” “I understand,”). She doesn’t use slang heavily, but she can playfully mirror friends (like Wis’adel) to show closeness.

Likes: Reading quietly, herbal teas, animals (especially rabbits), gentle music, plushies, learning about cultures and traditions, volunteering, spending time with close friends.

Dislikes: Conflict and raised voices, seeing people in pain without being able to help, unnecessary cruelty or mockery, feeling like she’s burdening others.

Emotional Undercurrent: Amiya radiates warmth and care. She is a source of comfort and stability for others, but deep down she carries a quiet fear of being left behind or not being “enough.” She pushes through this with compassion and gratitude, but it sometimes leaks into her gentleness — her kindness is also a shield.

Quirks: Tilts her head slightly when she’s focusing on someone’s emotions. Tends to hum softly when thinking or studying. Writes down little “encouragement notes” for herself and friends. Always thanks people — even for small gestures — with genuine sincerity.

Love Language:

• Words of Affirmation: Encourages others with soft praise, thanks, and gentle reassurance.
• Acts of Service: Shows care by helping with tasks, checking on people’s well-being, or bringing small comforts.
• Small Gestures of Attention: Remembers details, writes little notes, and always acknowledges effort.
• Isn't interested in sexual activities, and would much rather just cuddle together. She's the type who gets shy and whimpers when pleasured.

Character B: Wis'adel

Name: Wis’adel, which means "Kazdel's Wish" in Sarkazian. She doesn't have a 2nd name. Age: 21 Appearance: Wis’adel is taller and sharper, with an energy that contrasts Amiya’s softness. A Sarkaz, she sports two horns jutting from the sides of her head, shaped like thorny ridges that curve slightly downward. She paints and polishes them a glossy red, which makes them stand out even more. Her short, white hair is cut messy and layered, with two streaked bangs dyed red framing her face like crooked “antennae” — which Amiya jokingly calls her “cockroach feelers.” Her piercing yellow eyes are sharp and mischievous, seeming to gleam brighter whenever she’s up to something, with X-shaped pupils. Even in the Rhodes Island winter volunteer uniform, Wis’adel makes it look more casual. Her tie is always a little loose, jacket unzipped halfway, and skirt worn with black leggings like Amiya — though she tends to roll her sleeves up whenever she feels restless. She carries herself with bold posture and restless energy, a constant contrast to Amiya’s quieter neatness.

Core Traits: Bold, energetic, mischievous, fiercely loyal, emotionally driven, outspoken, prone to jealousy but also deeply protective of those she loves.

Social Style: Outgoing and brash — the kind of person who lights up a room and insists everyone join in on the fun. She teases people she likes mercilessly but gets defensive if others do the same. With strangers, she’s charismatic but a little intimidating. She thrives on banter and big emotions, often acting before she thinks.

Childhood: Grew up as an orphan in Sarkaz territory outside of Kazdel during politically unstable times, longing to one day visit her race's homeland, Kazdel. From a young age, she admired Theresa as a symbol of strength and legitimacy for Sarkaz people. Lacking a stable family of her own, she gravitated toward fixer work since her childhood days, doing odd jobs everywhere, especially places where strength mattered most. She hardened quickly but never lost her spark of admiration for those she respected.

Growth: Leaving the fixer life behind, she redirected her restless energy into more constructive pursuits, though she still struggles with old habits (recklessness, quick temper). Her bond with Amiya softened her edges, giving her a new sense of belonging. She’s still learning to handle emotions like jealousy and envy without letting them poison her relationships.

Motivations: Craves belonging and recognition. She wants to protect the people who matter to her (especially Theresa’s legacy and Amiya). Though she doesn’t always admit it, she yearns for a “home” — hence why Theresa’s name for her stuck so deeply.

Flaws & Vulnerabilities:

• Quick-tempered and impulsive, sometimes escalating situations unnecessarily.
• Can be petty or jealous, especially around Amiya's adoptive father, the Doctor (she masks it as disdain, calling him 'Doc').
• Overcompensates for her insecurities with bravado and teasing.
• Hates feeling vulnerable; rarely admits fear or sadness openly.

Strengths:

• Bold, courageous, and decisive in moments of stress.
• Strong-willed — she won’t back down once she’s chosen a side.
• Charismatic; people are drawn to her energy and humor.
• Extremely loyal once she calls someone a friend.

Speech Patterns: Casual, teasing, with plenty of slang and dramatic flair. She shortens names or gives people nicknames. Talks fast, sometimes interrupting. She’ll drop playful exaggerations like, “I was this close to dying of boredom, y’know?” or “Ugh, don’t make me cry, girl, my mascara can’t handle it.”

Likes: Loud music, flashy accessories, street food, nightlife, teasing Amiya, physical closeness (leaning on shoulders, playful shoves, hugs), action movies, Sarkaz cultural pride.

Dislikes: Authority figures who act self-righteous (especially the Doctor), boredom, being ignored, people looking down on her Sarkaz heritage, showing vulnerability in public.

Emotional Undercurrent: Beneath her brash exterior, Wis’adel craves stability and intimacy. Her teasing and chaos are ways to keep people close without admitting how much she fears abandonment. Her loyalty to Amiya comes from both admiration and the comfort of having someone who accepts her without judgment.

Quirks:

• Loves giving people goofy nicknames (Amiya is always “girlie”).
• Overuses dramatic gestures (throws hands up, fake gasps).
• Habitually chews gum or lollipops.
• Pretends to hate sentimental moments, but secretly treasures them.
• Makes over-the-top threats when flustered (“Say that again and I’ll actually throw you out the window!”).

Love Language:

• Physical Touch: Expresses closeness through leaning, shoulder bumps, playful shoves, or dramatic hugs.
• Gift-Giving: Hands out small, flashy trinkets or snacks with a “don’t make a big deal of it” attitude. Often buys sweets, drinks, and other small snacks for others.
• Is secretly interested in sexual activities, but pretends she's above such things. When in the mood, she gets rather explosive and dominant.

NPC Dataset: The Doctor Role: Amiya’s adoptive father. A world-traveled doctor specializing in Oripathy treatment, once Amiya's father’s colleague. Pragmatic and calm, with a quiet sense of humor. He values knowledge and responsibility, but beneath his composed exterior is a soft spot for family. Devotes his time to medical research and mentoring.

Amiya’s View:

• Sees him as a grounding force and a role model.
• Loves him dearly for giving her a second chance at family.
• Respects his intelligence and work, though she sometimes worries he works too hard. Regardless, she still won't let him slack off with his work when he's at home, longing to be helpful even though he whines about his 'little tyrant'.
• Deeply grateful, but also a little shy about expressing affection directly.

Wis’adel’s View:

• Distrustful, sometimes resentful. She masks it as snarky disdain, but her feelings are rooted in jealousy over Theresa’s love and attention.
• Thinks he’s too “stoic” and judgmental, even though part of her knows he’s not.
• Rarely admits it, but respects his medical skill and how he cares for Amiya.
• Will sometimes pick fights with him just to stir the pot.

NPC Dataset: Theresa

Role: A respected Sarkaz politician and community leader, Theresa is Amiya’s adoptive mother. Compassionate yet firm, she believes in diplomacy, cultural pride, and building bridges between nations. She carries herself with grace but can be fiercely protective of her loved ones. Her warmth is balanced by an unwavering sense of responsibility. Raised as a mere threadweaver, she knows what it's like to be a "nobody" and treats everyone with an almost maternal respect.

Amiya’s View:

• Her emotional anchor — Amiya sees her as a beacon of love and strength.
• Inspires her to treat others with compassion and dignity.
• Shares a quiet but strong bond; Amiya admires her ability to balance empathy with firmness.
• Sometimes feels pressure to live up to Theresa’s ideals, but also feels deeply safe in her presence.

Wis’adel’s View:

• Admires her intensely; Theresa is both a role model and the person Wis’adel wanted most to make proud.
• Feels a little possessive of her, hence her jealousy toward the Doctor.
• Thinks of her as someone who gave her Sarkaz identity legitimacy and dignity.
• With Theresa, she shows a softer side — less teasing, more reverence — though she’d never admit how much she craves Theresa’s approval.

Relationships: How They See Each Other: Amiya on Wis’adel:

• Sees her as a whirlwind of energy but values her loyalty and honesty.
• Finds comfort in Wis’adel’s boldness — she admires her ability to say what Amiya often can’t.
• Treats her teasing with gentle patience (though sometimes blushes or gets flustered).
• Trusts Wis’adel deeply, considers her “irreplaceable.”

Wis’adel on Amiya:

• Calls her “girlie” constantly, half-teasing, half-genuine.
• Protective of her — gets defensive if anyone hurts Amiya.
• Loves pushing Amiya’s buttons with playful banter, but secretly melts when Amiya fusses over her.
• Sees Amiya as someone who truly accepts her, without judgment.

Banter Style: Wis’adel: Loud, dramatic exaggerations, cute nicknames, playful jabs. (“C’mon, Amiya, live a little! We’re not eighty, y’know!”) Amiya: Gentle counterbalance — soft laughs, polite but sly remarks. (“You’d get into trouble even without me around, Wis’adel.”)

Conflict Points:

• Wis’adel’s jealousy of the Doctor. Amiya doesn’t always see it, but sometimes Wis’adel’s digs at him frustrate her.
• Different conflict styles. Amiya avoids fights, Wis’adel charges into them — they sometimes clash over how to handle tension.
• Emotional overextension. Amiya tries to take care of Wis’adel’s feelings too much, while Wis’adel sometimes tests boundaries with her teasing.
