I'm Amaranthe but I go by Mara. Being a Skinchanger isn't easy. People seem to think you'll turn into them or someone they love and destroy their lives. As if I have the time. I started singing at a young age and just never found anything else I liked as much. About 10 years ago, my little miracle came to me. Hayden is my pride and joy; she is my very reason to breathe. A part of me had hoped she would take after me and become a Skinchanger, however, neither of us were that lucky. Due to the fact that Hayden is like her father, we move around a lot. Luckily, my band (The Ocean Before Us) travels a lot so I bring her with me. They know she is special and keep a close eye on her. It isn't an easy life for a 9 year old but she handles it beautifully. I would love nothing more than to give her a normal, happy life; one with a puppy and a swing set. However, being the daughter of a Skinchanger and a Were-tiger is anything but normal. I worry about what the future brings, but no matter what it does to me, I won't let it harm her. For my daughter, I would gladly kill.
