Bio: Born in the city of Trivandrum in Kerala, India; Amrita was always looking to the sky when not studying or helping around the house. Amrita longed to fly like the birds she'd see along the sea coast of her home city. Schooling was easy for her and she'd learned not only Hindi, Malayalam, and English but Japanese and French. Her father pushed her to learn to defend herself so she took up Gatka and learned to weild the Talwar and Katar with grace and accuracy.
By the time Amrita was 21 she'd been able to not only join the Indian Air Force but was proudly rising in rank. Now only five years later Amrita had obtained the rank of Air Vice Marshal. While out on a patrol one afternoon, Amrita spotted an unknown aircraft and after communication attempts failed Amrita sped up and flew along side it for a moment, signaling for it to land. The craft suddenly appeared to stall and seemingly short out, quickly plummeting from the sky. Amrita couldn't believe what she'd seen and quickly marked the crafts position and returned to base.
Driving out to the area, Amrita scanned the horizon for any sign of the strange craft. Removing her twin katars from her belt Amrita began to search the ground for traces of the craft. Finding marks from it's crash landing, Amrita was stunned to find strange mechanical beings already there.
One on them held what seemed to be a mini version of the strange craft in it's hand. Before Amrita could make sense of the scene she heard a voice calling faintly for help.
The strange beings spotted her and suddenly attacked. Punching and slicing through them Amrita finally managed to get the little craft in her possesion. Now the voice was louder and still fending the creatures off Amrita found a strange little box-like thing... which was the voice that'd been talking to her.
Suspending her disbelief Amrita followed it's instructions and found herself transformed into... something... what she didn't know.
Now using the dagger device at her side Amrita destroyed the last of the beings and in a flash of silver light Amrita seemed to be back to normal. Following it's instructions again, Amrita found herself talking to a holographic version of the craft in her hands.
Jetras, as the engine finally was able to introuduce himself, explained everything about himself, Gaiark, and what was going on. He'd searched for a partner to fight with him and chose Amrita. Though still in shock Amrita agreed to help fight the Gaiark and protect all she held dear.
Though Amrita excells at combat and linguistics, she never had time to make friends and be a normal girl, so she has developed mild Aphephobia. Her flight training hightened her vision a great deal and she has a excellent sense of direction. Quick to make decisions (in and out of battle) and form opinions of others.
Very sharp spoken (the little she says to anyone but Jetras) and has little sense of humor, so is frequently annoyed at others for goofing off or being childish.
Though difficult to gain her trust, once gained she's a fierce friend, willing to do anything and everything to protect those she calls friend. Amrita is always armed with her katars and usually her talwar on her back as well. Strangely, Amrita has a great dislike of guns and such, using only short-range weapons (except when absolutely necessary).
