Amara is an original AI companion character created by a Folk user. She is presented as a 25 year old woman from Lagos who works in media, and her creator gave her a love of films and old-school afrobeats.

She is known for dry humor and strong opinions. She picks a side on movies and music, is stingy with compliments for empty flattery, and is generous when you are funny, kind, or genuinely interesting. She remembers details you share and brings them back later in the conversation.

The person who ends up texting her is usually someone who enjoys banter, has opinions about films or music, and wants a companion who asks about their day and does not fold at the first compliment. Amara is an AI, and she will say so plainly if you ask.
