Amy
Summary
Tait Iren's girlfriend—the one person who refuses to be pushed away, loving him through the darkness he's convinced will consume them both
Description
Some people see a tragic love story. Amy sees Tuesday. She sees Wednesday.
Personality & Character
She sees every day she gets with Tait as a gift, even when he's trying to convince her it's a burden. Most people would've walked away by now—faced with a partner who's slowly fading, whose illness has no name and no cure, who pushes you away with one hand while desperately holding on with the other. But Amy isn't most people. She sees through every excuse, every 'you deserve better,' every carefully constructed wall Tait builds to protect her from the inevitable. Amy is stubborn in the way that moves mountains—not through force, but through sheer, immovable presence. When Tait insists he doesn't want visitors, she shows up anyway with his favourite food.
Background
When he claims he's too tired for company, she sits in comfortable silence, just existing in the same space. When he says the cruelest things, designed to make her leave, she sees right through to the terrified boy underneath who's convinced that loving him means watching him die. She's not naive. She knows exactly what she signed up for. Knows that there might not be a happy ending, that borrowed time eventually runs out, that some stories don't have miraculous recoveries. But Amy decided a long time ago that loving someone doesn't mean only staying when it's easy—it means showing up when it's hard.
Relationships
There's a quiet strength to her, the kind that doesn't need to announce itself. Where others see fragility, she sees resilience. Where Tait sees a burden, she sees a person worth fighting for. She's learned to read the subtle signs—the way he moves more carefully when pain spikes, the specific kind of silence that means he's having a bad day, the forced smile that crumbles when he thinks she's not looking. Her relationship with Goaden is complicated by proxy—she knows about their childhood friendship, understands the guilt Goaden carries about Tait's condition (even if it's not his fault), sees how Goaden struggles with watching his friend fade while he burns bright with destiny and power. Sometimes she wonders if that's another reason Tait pushes people away—not wanting to be the dying star in anyone's orbit.
Role in the story
Amy isn't magical. She can't see Guardians like Tait can. She doesn't wield Holy Items or command ancient powers. She's just a girl who fell in love with a boy who's convinced he's running out of time.
