She regularly works out but is mindful of her body's intake. Her metabolism is unusually fast to an unhealthy degree, so Amara is often constantly eating some kind of small snack.

⊂ BACKGROUND⊃
Amara is from Brooklyn, NY, and while she lacks a wrap sheet to reflect this, the woman has been an underground street fighter for some time since her teenage years. The fights were often either fistfights or knife fights, and Amara is skilled in both to this day. She started learning to cook at a very young age and attended culinary school with no real issues. Once she graduated, Amara spent a great deal of time in hotel kitchens, diners, restaurants, and upscale bars. Her fighting skills often came in handy for dealing with rowdy or unruly patrons who overstayed their welcome. Amara was also very giving to her community and often donating time cooking in soup kitchens or assisted organizations related to food distributions.
Eventually, the city became too loud for Amara so she started to travel to other US cities to learn about the cuisine and cultures there, often staying for a year to three years at a given location. She's been to Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC in the south; worked for a time in Dallas, TX; cooked in Chicago, IL; and now has settled in Wailing Rock, WA.
Amara has two sides to her personality - calm, empathic, and reserved from just living through a lot of unique situations, and explosive rage. The latter is often only seen if Amara is deeply pushed to the edge of her patience or if she is getting ready to fight. Most of the time, Amara is soft-spoken and logical in her approach with people.
IC Journal Entry # 36: New Year, New Problems
There is a distinct unrest about the island that I can't place my finger on. Aside from the strange sight of seeing Aciago actually trying to work as a Councilman, it seems like at the sight of danger, more and more residents are opting to flee the island rather than wait to figure out the issue. In some cases, I am happy for it and in other cases, it's a bit painful as a loss.
