Amma
Amma is an NPC in Arknights. She is a supporting character in The Black Forest Wills A Dream and Expeditioner's Joklumarkar.
Background[edit]
The majestic deer named "Amma" is one of the rare "Lords of the Beasts" and the "Sovereign of the Deer" who possesses divine power to protect Sami. It is said that She has given up her mortal body and transcended to become a spirit, hence She is forever free to roam the Sami forests.[2] Her power includes providing "blessings" onto snowballs, often nicknamed "Amma's Affection" that could ward off Collapsal corruption even in dreams. Due to her divinity, She is greatly worshipped by the Samifjod by treating her as the goddess of purity, and Sami shamans could sense places where Amma has passed by as a sign of Her "blessings."
According to Samifjod creation myth in the legend of Ammatalus,[note 1] Amma was born with another twin spirit, Mattrmon,[note 2] from a ray of light that shone for a thousand years before Sami the All-Father hibernated beneath the earth. Because Máttrmön resembled a human, he decided to travel around the world, whereas Amma, who inherited the mercy of Sami the All-Father, decided to stay back in the land of Sami to guide the plants and animals in helping humans build civilization.[3]
Because Amma is a sacred beast who could not speak, she communicates with humans in the forms of fire and ice from which the earliest humans learnt how to divine, giving rise to the first Snowpriest in history. Later, when the Cyclopes – a pure-blooded Sarkaz tribe from Kazdel – migrated to Sami, Amma guided a woman, a Cyclops titled Roavvá Vísinda,[note 3] or the Prophetess, to reach help from a Sami tribe through signs provided by the hornbeasts' antlers. Out of gratitude, the Cyclopes taught the Samifjod a unique divination method by reading tree barks which in turn led to the earliest Foldartals born from the first Sami runes. These Cyclopes later split into two groups, one entering the mountains to teach the masses, and the other heading further north to "heal the wound of the land" and never returned.[3]
Amma continues to guide the Samifjod through various natural signs through Foldartals and other natural signs such as unmelting snow which many perceive to be a great blessing. In return, the Samifjod remain alert when observing natural phenomena which gives rise to their animism.
