Amita

Amita is the Demon World's foremost blacksmith, an ancient wandering artisan who keeps and channels the last flame. Their initially transactional alliance with In-gong's party develops into a continuing place in the coalition, where they create, tune, and maintain much of its decisive equipment while also using the flame defensively in battle.

Biography

Master Smith and Reluctant Ally

Ishgard directs In-gong to Amita as an old friend who forged both his sword and the Demon King's. When the party finally finds Amita in Spider Forest, the smith is maintaining the last ward around the threatened last flame and has measured the attackers closely enough to design a two-day defense. Amita bargains equipment for the whole group in return for its help, guides the defense, and honors the agreement after the attackers are defeated. Their reliance on the last flame is custodial and devotional rather than ownership: the flame speaks to them, and its order is what finally makes them leave the forest with In-gong's party. (Chapters 72–74 and 87–99)

At the palace, Amita resists deadlines and crowds but takes professional pride in every commission. They establish a workshop, embroider complex magical patterns into Daphne's clothing, manufacture armor for the party, and adjust elder-dragon equipment to its user rather than merely repair it. Their products accompany the barbarian campaign, where Amita checks the tuning under operational conditions and completes Delia's armor. What begins as payment for a single defense thus becomes an ongoing logistical partnership, sustained partly by their fascination with rare materials and partly by Daphne's ability to make travel and social demands tolerable. (Chapters 99–120, 135, and 145–148)

Elder-Dragon Equipment and Final Preparations

Amita's work becomes more strategically important as In-gong's collection grows. They unveil an improved Night Watch, forge new greaves that better combine the last flame with his dragon aura and magic, and tune three elder-dragon artifacts so thoroughly that their performance exceeds ordinary S-rank equipment. Later they convert the pattern-dense El Ragra, explaining that the tiny ring is harder rather than easier because it contains many times the patterns in Carack's armor. The labor has real scheduling limits: simultaneous high-grade commissions require extensions, and Amita cannot instantly finish every requested weapon. (Chapters 145, 151–160, 175, and 182–184)

Amita also acts directly when the coalition is under attack. They maintain the ward protecting Delia, Karma, and the dark elves during the palace crisis, sense the magically created deity above the palace through the last flame, and later protect Daphne while she prepares recovery spells in the northern battle. Their craft continues after the fighting: Earth Quaker has passed through their hands enough times to reach a new level of performance, and they create the crown used for In-gong's coronation. By then Amita remains gruffly independent and still demands Heavenly Wine as payment, but their presence beside the altar shows that the reluctant commission has become an enduring alliance. (Chapters 189–196, 209, 212, and 231)

Appearance and personality

Amita is encountered as a small talking raccoon, even smaller and rounder-faced than an ordinary raccoon, with expressive eyes, ears, and a tail that repeatedly pounds the ground. Earlier reports claim that Amita has appeared at different ages and as both a man and a woman, but the corpus never explains whether this is transformation, disguise, or rumor. Their current narration consistently uses they/them, and their underlying identity remains unknown. (Chapters 73 and 87–89)

They are proud, sharp-tongued, solitary, and intensely protective of both their workmanship and the last flame. Orders, crowds, and deadlines provoke loud resistance, yet Amita will not deliberately make an inferior product because their name and devotion are invested in the result. Praise, petting, sweets, rare materials, and especially Heavenly Wine reveal an affectionate and indulgent side. Beneath the bluster they worry about injured companions, respond strongly to Daphne's feelings, and repeatedly accept danger to support the group. (Chapters 88–100, 105, 119, 182–186, 193, 209, and 231)

Powers and abilities

Amita's blacksmithing combines elite material craft, dense magical pattern work, tuning, and the power of the last flame. The flame supplies the divinity in their creations, so the sacred quality is not solely Amita's personal power. They can forge weapons for supreme fighters, make transformation-compatible armor, embed or revise complex magic, and tune elder-dragon equipment to harmonize with In-gong's aura, magic, and combat style. The process requires suitable materials, a workshop, and substantial time; even a small ring can delay other commissions when its internal patterning is unusually dense. (Chapters 73, 88, 95, 100, 105, 135, 145, 151, 160, and 183–184)

Beyond smithing, Amita creates and measures wards, uses telekinesis, senses supernatural disturbances through the last flame, and channels green fire into protective barriers. Their Spider Forest defense holds back repeated assaults but cannot remain secure indefinitely, and detaching the last flame from its magical vein takes time. Telekinesis consumes stamina, while battlefield barriers require preparation and can be strained by massed enemies. The corpus does not explain Amita's age, original species, or how they first became the flame's keeper. (Chapters 88–94, 145, 186, 190, and 212)

Relationships

• In-gong: Amita first treats him as a client introduced by Ishgard, then follows him because the last flame directs it. His rare materials and growing elder-dragon arsenal continually challenge their skill, while his protection and payment in Heavenly Wine sustain a long-term partnership that ends with Amita making his coronation crown. (Chapters 88–100, 108, 145–160, 182–196, and 231)
• Daphne: Daphne becomes Amita's attendant, helper, and closest emotional mediator. She assists their workshop work, carries and comforts them, and persuades them to join campaigns; Amita agrees to travel for her sake and later uses the last flame to protect her while she prepares recovery magic. (Chapters 99, 105, 119, 145, 175–186, and 212)
• Felicia: Felicia approaches Amita as both an archaeologist interested in legendary craft and a coalition organizer who needs equipment. She participates in the original bargain, repeatedly negotiates schedules and commissions, and relies on Amita's products in the campaigns, while Amita responds with a mixture of irritation and genuine concern. (Chapters 73, 88–93, 99, 105–120, and 151)
• Caitlin: Caitlin's delight in Amita's raccoon form quickly wins the smith's tolerance. More importantly, Amita designs equipment around Caitlin's physical needs and remains one of the artisans whose work supports her faction, even though the corpus gives more detail about In-gong's commissions than the final specifications of Caitlin's gear. (Chapters 89, 99–105, and 151)

Items

• Thunder Light Anvil: Amita is associated with the legendary craft tradition that leads the party to seek them, but the corpus does not show them owning, operating, or taking custody of the anvil. It remains at the dwarf ruin after In-gong activates it. (Chapters 32–36, 51, and 73–74)
• Night Watch: In-gong owns the elder-dragon cloak and temporarily entrusts it to Amita for adjustment. Amita returns an improved version; this is workshop custody and modification, not a transfer of ownership. (Chapters 108, 145, and 151)
• Dragon Scale Greaves: Amita creates a new pair for In-gong that is markedly stronger than his earlier greaves and better suited to the last flame, dragon aura, and magic. The completed greaves pass to In-gong. (Chapters 145 and 160)
• El Ragra: In-gong entrusts the elder-dragon ring to Amita for conversion. They explain that its dense internal magic patterns make the work unusually difficult; after completion, the ring remains In-gong's equipment. (Chapters 183–184 and 190–191)
