Powers —
Skills:
Amity is shown to be a decent baker, amateur artist, an excellent, attentive, and clever student. She also has some skill with a skateboard, as well as other generalized athletic prowess, as at one time she was the captain of the grudgby team at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics.
Superpowers:
Magic:
Like all Witches from the Boiling Isles, Amity's body has evolved to contain a bile sac connected to her heart which allows her to use magical spells to manipulate reality around her. She is shown to be an excellent witch and is often cited as the top witch in her class at her school, Hexside School of Magic and Demonics. For witches from the Boiling Isles, casting magic involves drawing a glowing spell circle in the air, often with a finger though it can also be done with a wand, staff, or even a witch's foot. This and the mere act of properly concentrating and thinking about the effects you wish a spell to have are enough to cast magic. Amity is shown to be able to use spells to create magical barriers and cages, control plants, disguise her voice, hurl fireballs, and create simple illusions.
In particular, thanks to her focus track at Hexside, and possibly due to having observed her father's work for most of her life, Amity is particularly talented at what is known as Abomination magic, which uses various materials to create a magical golem-like construct of ooze and muck known as an abomination that can be commanded or controlled by a witch. The abomination matter can also be used by witches to create shields, weapons, or be flung at foes. Amity is even shown to use Abomination ooze to create objects such as a rope and a skateboard. While in the Human Realm, she is also shown to be able to use materials such as mud to perform similar feats as she has with abomination ooze.
Through her bond with her Palisman, Ghost, she has a magically flying staff, as well as a companion with whom she is able to communicate and emphasize. While Ghost can theoretically be used to sneak around or scout out locations, it seems rare in canon for witches to separate themselves from their Palismans by great distances or for long periods of time without some sort of coercion.
Limitations:
Despite her magical abilities and intelligence, Amity Blight is still just a fourteen year old teenager. Aside from the pointed ears and the magical bile sac, her anatomy seems to be basically identical to a human's. She isn't super tough or super strong or super fast without magic and has one of those squishy, vulnerable bodies.
Personality —
Please EITHER (1) Summarize your character's personality — including motivations, behaviors, and psychology — in 300-600 words OR (2) Respond to the questions below.
Amity is a bright, clever and studious young witch. She's reputed as one of the best students at Hexside. She also struggles with feeling like she's 'good enough' for her parents' high expectations and to some extent externalizes this as an overbearing snottiness or arrogance, which can make her come off cold or even like a bully.
This comes from having her mother attempt to control the whole course of her life. For a long time, Odalia Blight controlled where her daughter went to school, what subjects she studied, what friends she made, and even what color her hair was (Amity was born with brown hair, but had it dyed green so that she could match her elder siblings). Despite her mother's best efforts to force Amity into the mold of a perfect, obedient daughter who would follow in her mother's manipulative, ladder-climbing footsteps Amity managed to emerge preserving her best traits: kindness, thoughtfulness, and compassion for the others around her.
She was a long-time friend of Willow Park when the two were younger, until she was forced into breaking off that friendship by Odalia. Even then, this was done with a center of thoughtfulness: her parents threatened to use their wealth and influence to stop Willow from attending Hexside if Amity would not break off their friendship and used that kindness within Amity to manipulate her.
Amity's relationship with Luz, while initially antagonistic and strained, has had a massive positive effect on the way that Amity interacts with others. Prior to meeting Luz, Amity had absorbed many of her mother's worst traits, or at least projected them outwards to others. She was haughty, arrogant, rude, and condescending to anyone that wasn't supposedly worth her time. However, as she grew closer to Luz, more of those hidden, positive traits of kindness and compassion emerged to reveal the real Amity.
Amity's struggle with her controlling mother and passive father has left her with a strong desire to choose her own path in life and a stubborn streak to help her see it through. She reveals to Luz that she doesn't know exactly what she wants her future to be, but that she wants to choose it for herself.
This can also be seen in her participation in the Bonesborough Brawl, a competition won by her father when he was younger. During this contest she grows frustrated with Luz entering to help make things easier for Amity to win, as it was important to her to do so on her own terms.
Amity is also a bit of a nerd. She and Luz first bond over their shared love for the Good Witch Azura books, something that Amity is embarrassed about. Despite this, she idolizes the main character of the books for her bravery, kindness, and desire to stand up against evil. She is also enough of a nerd about these books that Luz correctly deduces that not all is as it seems when Amity, under the control of the Collector, misquotes the books.

Gameplay —
Areas of Interest / Brainstorming: Amity has just come to another, odder human world after spending the last few months in the one from her canon and is understandably frustrated that she can't get home.
In canon, she has become increasingly distrustful of "well-meaning" authority figures and tightly controlled organizations, as it strikes a distinct chord in line with the coven system and the Emperor's Coven organized by Belos, which was all of course a scheme to kill all witches and give Belos phenomenal magical power. I'd like to explore what it's like to be this magical sort of teenage kid who really doesn't want to be involved with the Guild system, but is in some ways forced to be thanks to the nature of being an unattended minor in a new world.
I'd like her to make more non-magical friends--in canon, the only one humans she seems to have close relationships with are Luz and Camila Noceda, so I think having more mundane-ish friends would be cool, or even other teen superhero types. She's definitely in a way better space than she was at the start of the series re: being an arrogant and conceited mean girl, but I think being in this situation might mean at least a little regression, especially if her buttons are pushed regarding missing her family (and her girlfriend).
She's still a helpful kid, so I think she'd likely start doing unsanctioned magical stuff to help out others, even in small ways, which might put her in conflict with the system, which I like.
