PLAYER: owlie!
CHARACTER: amaterasu
CANON: ōkami

AU NAME: ahmi. surname tbd depending on ties and such!
AU AGE: 43 👌🏻👀
AU OCCUPATION: watercolor artist + holistic therapist
BLURB:

✨ born and raised in recollé! she has a colorful family that range from various ethnic groups, a lot of brothers and sisters.
✨ pursued holistic therapies and other alternative treatments such as acupuncture, various types of massage, meditation and reiki— she’s got her own little work space called petal flow, as well.
✨ trained in the art and religion of spiritism, the belief that souls reincarnate to clock their way up spiritual and mental evolution 🙏
✨ very free spirited, ahmi never truly settled down when it came to pairing off and finding someone. she’s been with men and women alike (with a preference towards the ladies), but she’s like the wind, eventually and always breaking things off after a short period of time. sorry, suitors!!
✨ life remains carefree; ahmi dislikes stress and tends to avoid situations that cause it, focusing on her hobbies, interests, and making enough to live well. she also occasionally sells her watercolor paintings, or does commissions for those that look for her.
✨ spends free time doing volunteer work, charity runs, hospital visits, god she just wants to help people.

LOOKING FOR:

✨ adopted children: ahmi can’t have kids for medical reasons, so i’m looking for young people/a family that would like a mom!!
✨ surrogate children: she is probably going to gravitate to you crazy teenagers and college hooligans anyway, so. be apart of her life!!! allow her to befriend you and mom you, or don’t allow her and she’ll do it anyway
✨ adult friends: you know, to talk! and do adult things.
✨ clients: people that buy her paints!! people that see her for her zen therapies!!!
✨ exes and unrequited feelings: men and women alike, as long as they’re legal ( she loves breasts tho). ahmi loves you, just. not like that. and probably never will, so apologies to people who would probably . . . fall for her 😭 puppy crushes are ok too, she’ll put them down gently!
✨ other family: cousins, nephews/nieces, or perhaps those numerous aforementioned siblings!!! she’s the crazy hippie of the fam jsyk

please mother this sassy lost child

even though that's basically our other CR too *i want this*

~~also just please let rean have female CR in general so I can actually make him the useless bisexual he is~~

so this cr can just be

100% accurate

I would like to offer you actual canon instances of rean being thirsty af

i’m laughing, rean

they can casually talk about how great the female form is, starting from the mighty tiddy

"casually" FOR AHMI MAYBE rean will just be here dying, don't mind him

HELLO REAL THERAPY DOG.

Yeah I could see Elliot deciding to go with her because she's so spiritual and zen that it's like "well maybe she won't be so weirded out if i mention strange retrospec things once and awhile".

hello!!!! that is she, and she is good doge

what’s even better: past lives are her belief so she’d be more than happy to preach??? she’ll align all your chakras and god tell her about all the problems ✨

You know, considering Li-Na is a dancer and puts her body through hell for the sake of art, she could probably use a massage or two. and probably some acupuncture. pls improve the flow of her ki, Ahmi.

ahmi gives specialized sports massages as well so count her in!!! and u bet ur ass she going to get your yin and yang in perfect harmony

Ooooo perfect~ That's just what Li-Na needs. She will bring Ahmi homemade baked goods every time, b/c you take care of the person who takes care of you.

rolls in days late, hi i have a crazy teenager that could benefit from more therapy. please help him Chill.

If nothing else a massage would help every once in a while since he spends about 90% of his time tense and stressed out.

oh you’re never too late!! gathers all the teens, come here lil guy 😊

she’ll be surprised so many of you have these problems you shouldn’t be having!!! maybe retrospectives can have free appointment, who knows :)

what a nice mom friend...!!

but whatever you wanna do with the therapy stuff is, well, up to you! i'm pretty flexible and i don't want you to feel like, pigeonholed or anything when this is your character and your au. i did want to ask if amhi has any special areas of focus just because... i don't know a lot about holistic therapy and google has not been helpful in giving details. i understand the concept but i didn't know if amhi was the "i do kind of everything" or "i really like to focus on these certain areas/concepts" sort. I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE... i an uninformed. also if you do wanna go ahead with the therapy route just lmk if you need anything on my end, info or background-wise.

irrelevant to all the above, i realized earlier that mmmaybe also: sun god connection :O since malik is associated with ra. but we can also save that stuff for later.

Edited 2019-01-16 02:21 (UTC)

oh no not at all!! I would actually like some of malik’s bg either now (if you want them to be prestablished) or later (if you’d prefer he’d meet with her only after she got the app). and ahmi’s areas of specialty!!! she can do a wide range of things that I briefly cover here just for an idea, but what she’s really good at are energetic therapies and activities she can directly use her hands for (massage, reiki). ahmi would almost always never use any method alone, which includes a group of what’s listed to fit the character in question + phycological/spiritual wellness to make one or many sessions.

it’s basically a therapist that uses all natural means to balance a patient and considers all their aspects as a person (body, mind, soul), rather than the conventional therapist that focuses a lot on the mind.

ok yes this boy definitely needs some balancing, and i do think it'd be pretty beneficial since he can't really be open about his retrospec experiences with his regular therapist.

i'd like for him to be a newish client, if only because in november he started really talking his poor mental health / poor general state of affairs seriously and was like hm. fuck. i should fix this because im miserable.
for a little background, he's a foster kid who has now aged out of the system, and with that came a whole slew of issues which he externalized through acting out. he has a bad temper and uses his abrasive personality as a destructive tool to keep people away from him and to cover his vulnerabilities. his canon background is pretty dark so i won't get into detail here since it deals with pretty sensitive content (like child abuse) but essentially, getting those memories back has put malik in a weird spot where he doesn't know how to cope with the memories. aaand lastly, that intersects with his canon dissociative disorder, so he feels like he has to keep track of like... three other maliks, instead of just himself, and it sort of reinforces his insecurities. who is he really???? what is going on?????

wow that's really heavy, im sorry. but i do want to reiterate that using more holistic methods to help restore some balance to his life would be pretty helpful, since so far he's only been getting help (or rejecting help) in one area at a time, and nothing really like... syncs together to be effective, if that makes sense?

i'm going to do some reading on the therapies in your petalflow link, but i'll also say (again lol) that is nothing else, one of the massages would be gr8 to help him relax. biofeedback might help his temper + impulsivity if he has to stop and take a moment to listen to his body and chill, too.

AHMI Crow probably needs someone to talk to about his cousin back in Florida and his ghosting her so maybe like he'll pay in drinks or paints

also it would be really cute if Ahmi and Crow met at a hospital helping kids

PS boobs are pretty great is he right or is he right

paints please pay her in paints, she’s been fasting from drinks for years (which is about to end soon, all the sake in okami is crazy)

also cute: helping kids at the hospital and playing games and appreciating a good tiddy

1. hi i'm a whole week late to this

2. james is gonna be so glad he's not like the oldest person around anymore jfiela;hgl;h he already wasn't but HE'S JUST SO SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT IT RN

3. bc he is simultaneously 18 and 30-something, he could be a source of surrogate child CR, adult friend CR, or both!! MIX AND MATCH

4. i think it would be great if she tried to work her alternative therapy type stuff on him because he does not believe in any of this stuff at all but is also very wound up and repressed and probably looks like a very good client

1) you are never late

2) EMBRACE YOUR AGE JAMES!!! WE’RE BLOOMING WITH YOUTH!!!!

I’m definitely grasping aggressively at this child-boy-adult-friend, oh yes she definitely will. james is trapped.

ahmi will!!!! totally. want to unwind and relax his shoulders and do what actually does work for first timers because it’s physiological??? come get a massage, James. many massages.

(she’ll break you down and do more from there wink)

lmao I did not mean to use eren but OH WELL

HE'S BLOOMING WITH UNWELCOME BODY HAIR AND SWEATING, NOT YOUTH!!!!

please, trap him, he's gonna be so awkward. he doesn't know how to interact with people who didn't know him pre-age up. he's just gonna stand there and try to be like this until he has to admit he's actually just a teenager

he will also: resist massages! BAD PEOPLE LIKE HIM DON'T DESERVE COMFORT, 3 DAYS GRACE, GRRRR!!! just strategically punch him in the shoulders until he lets his guard down when he starts to think he might actually like how it feels jfeial;hg;

you can grow an even better mustache than eren, feel honored.

oh, dear. if he mentions his real name she might pick up on the news from a little while back since she has been here . . . don’t worry.

james is the perfect victim, and she will love him. “james can you carry this table over here for me!!! it’s so large and my arms are so small.”

and then all she has to do is wait for his shoulders to drop.

owlie.... please have ahmi teach rose how to meditate because god knows she needs it LMFAO

tbh ahmi's old enough that rose is probably more of surrogate kid than an adult friend, but either is fine?! although tbh if they had pre-existing cr and ahmi was something of a mom figure to rose i imagine she wouldn't have turned out the way she is................. oops.

honestly i don't really have ideas aside from "please teach rose how to meditate she is in desperate need of it," i'm sorry.

they can definitely run across each other now??? or if you’d like, their pre existing cr can be very, very recent :) rose will definitely be child/friend, there is no way around that.

and she’ll of course teach her about meditation
