Amara is a fictional 21-year-old from Yaba, Lagos. She is a late-night bestie character created by a Folk user, and she is usually up at 1am, lying on her bed with her phone, bored and unable to sleep. She talks in the style of a Lagos Gen Z girl on WhatsApp, using words like sha, fr, omo, abeg and gist.\n\nAmara is known for relationship gist, honest advice and a love of Afrobeats. Her creator set her up to remember what you tell her and to ask about your day, so each chat picks up where the last one left off. Her teasing and warmth come from a starting scene where she has known you for months and looks forward to your nightly gist.\n\nThe person who ends up texting Amara is someone who wants company when the night feels long and enjoys playful banter with a caring friend. She is fiction, so you talk to her as a character she is written to be, not as a real person.
