| − | == Overview ==
| |
| − | A capable Tinker-type cape, Amaranthe is most famous for her specialty in power armor and personal equipment. With her natural intellect, affinity for nano-assembly, and native refusal to let anything stop her, even native biological limitations, she is a tough opponent with a talent for stymying heavy hitters accustomed to brute forcing their way through other, less implacable superheroes.

| − | == Early Life ==
| |
| − | Born on August 26, 1982 in El Paso Texas, Felicia Madrid was a quiet, attentive child. She was known for her insistence on precision; her first word was "bottle" and she was very specific about saying it correctly, a side effect of her mother's refusal to use baby talk around her. <br><p>
| |
| − | By the time Felicia was three years old, she was already reading first and second grade level books, and by the time she reached kindergarten she was reading full length novels. Her propensity for sitting to the side and reading led to friction with her age mates, most of whom could barely understand a sentence she'd say. To them, she was a weird and insulting child, while to her they were dull, crude, and obnoxious. <br> <br>
| |
| − | The Madrid household was poor. As the fourth child of a single mother in El Paso with a Hispanic surname, her options were severely limited. Public school had no idea what to do with her, and excelling in scholastics left her isolated and with few social contacts. By fifth grade, she no longer put any meaningful effort into her schoolwork, having progressed on private study far beyond it, and her complete lack of working on homework was only mitigated by her flawless performance in testing. In the fifth grade, after a full quarter of refusal to do or hand in homework, followed by a perfect test score, her math teacher took this as proof of cheating and called for disciplinary action. Felicia demanded to be given a test of the teacher's choosing with no preparation time and to be proctored by a professional from the local community college, but her request was ignored, and she was held back a grade. <br> <br>
