Amata is a fairly ordinary teenaged troper girl.
Intelligent,
brunette,
glasses-wearing, and an aspiring writer, she is the author of
The Hunger Games fanfics Quell and
Survival (under the name
Amata le Fay
), as well as being active in the
An Unsung Song community. She also hosts a writing blog called
Mapping Out A Sky.
This troper provides examples of:
- Aerith and Bob: In her Hunger Games stories.
- The Archer: In "Archer," naturally.
- Artificial Intelligence: The Omni, in her excerpt from The Omniscience.
- Asian and Nerdy: She's Japanese and Chinese. And German and Polish.
- Author Avatar: Amata le Fay, the Head Gamemaker in Survival.
- Bookworm
- Brainy Brunette
- Cloud Cuckoolander: On occasion. She has a tendency to go off into her own little world...
- Mouthful of Pi: She knows 100 digits, and then stopped memorizing because people kept bugging her about it.
- Nerd Glasses: Wears them.
- One Steve Limit: Averted and lampshaded in "Stephen".
"From the audience, someone yelled, “You've got him, Steve!,” probably just to see how the two similarly-named competitors would react."
- Second Person Narration: subverted in "pronoun," which starts out this way, but later reveals the first-person narrator... and then the third-person narrator.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Occasionally prone to this.
- Shout Out: Lots, especially to Stephen Sondheim.
- The Verse: Has her own version of what happened before The Hunger Games, mostly centered around Quell.
"Regan Candlewick was the president of Panem from A.D.D. (After Dark Days) 1-30, after which Helios Short took over for A.D.D. 31-49. Coriolanus Snow rose to power in A.D.D. 50, during Haymitch's Games."
- Also, Word Of God suggests that Katniss and Haymitch come from the same (rebel) family branch, as well as there being a continuing line of"Mockingjays".
- TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life/Vocabulary: Passed the horizon when using the word "Anvilicious" to describe a TV show to her dad.
- Write Who You Know: Her Author Avatar, as well as some other original characters.
