Amata
Amata is the demon of vanity, and a handmaiden and lieutenant to the goddess Dea. She spends most of her time in Idrarion, but often appears to Louise Gramour both in person and in visions. Her connection to the Gramour Family is a secret kept by herself and Mariel Gramour.

Characteristics
As a servant of Dea, Amata takes great pride in her work, and genuinely craves approval from the goddess. She is open, friendly, and charismatic, making her disarming to most mortals. Still, she is a very powerful magic user, and has maintained her status as the favorite handmaiden of the goddess with skill and cunning where necessary.

Relationship to Mariel Gramour
Amata and Mariel were handmaidens of Dea together, before Mariel fell in love and eloped with Alistair Gramour, a human seer. This marriage, and the conception of their children, was taboo to angels and demons alike, and Mariel was cut off from her demonic family. Amata and Mariel were close before her banishment with Virgil to the Cosmic Bend, and feels great guilt over her perceived failure to protect Mariel. This guilt was compounded by her feelings for Mariel, and she avoids talking about either of them whenever possible.

Relationship to Louise Gramour
As the daughter of her oldest friend, Amata feels a great sense of responsibility towards Louise, especially considering her demonic ancestry. One of Amata's main goals is to sway Louise back towards the side of the demons, both to protect her from the perceived bad influence of Sako, her angelic rival, and to assuage her own guilt.
