Summary

Amiya is the CEO and public face of Rhodes Island and one of Arknights' three official protagonists, sharing the role with Ch'en and Kal'tsit.

She was adopted and raised by The Doctor , Kal'tsit and the former Lord of Fiends, Theresa, with the latter having chosen her to be the next Lord of Fiends prior to her assassination orchestrated by The Doctor that ended with them being stuck in critical condition that required them being put in the Sarcophagus in Chernobog to recover.

In the Year 1096, having no ill-will towards The Doctor, Amiya with a specially assembled team sought to recover them just as Reunion stuck Chernobog at the start of the Chernobog-Lungmen crisis only to discover that they lost all of their memories. Once she escaped Chernobog with The Doctor after Reunion having taken over the city and having suffered casualties in her team, Rhodes Island and her played an instrumental role in defusing the Chernobog-Lungmen crisis, with them combating Reunion and directly participating in the battles that led to the deaths of Reunion's formidable fighters like FrostNova and Patriot until Ch'en and her defeated the one possessing the body of the leader of Reunion, Talulah, in a climatic final battle to put a stop to the Chernobog-Lungmen crisis.

Winter's Scar FrostNova went through extra measures to ensure Amiya couldn't loosen her rings in their final fight), even higher with One Ring Removed (Could harm The Deathless Black Snake although Ch'en and her had to combine their powers to do so), can bypass conventional durability with Originium Arts | Multi-Solar System level (Shown repeatedly harming an amped Sanguinarch with her Arts, with him only surviving due to his regeneration and Blood Arts, whose younger, non-amplified self is superior to the Lifebone that can create an untouchable realm that contains a starry sky, which requires this much energy to perform.

Cannot stated that she possesses a decent survivalist's skill, having been taught how to identify edibles vegetables and mushrooms and how to identify the poisonous ones.

By using her Arts, she was able to copy and acquire all of Ch'en's sword techniques and skills)
