Presenting...the lead character of the Earths in Space series...Amena Wharry!
Amena has one true love: exploration.
She just wants to find something amazing...and then something else amazing...and something else...
Okay, so she really wants to find everything that’s amazing. Best way to do that? Find everything. After all, how could you possibly assess a thing’s amazingness if you’ve never once come across it?
Amena, a 29-year-old whimsical realist, leads an elite team of space travelers. The official mission is to scope out these alien planets and make sure none pose a threat to the Earth.
It turns out they’re all Earths, so they only meet aliens in the foreign sense, which sure is disappointing. A whole gigantic universe, and only one sentient species? It couldn’t muster any more variety than that? What’s the universe’s problem?

There’s got to be more, something she missed. She has to keep looking.
In the meantime, however, people on these Earths tend to need help, and she’s afflicted with a compulsion to heroically save days. She used to be a sheriff’s deputy in her rural hometown, so serving and protecting comes naturally.
It’s easier to protect folks when you’re such a superb marksman you can’t remember the last time you missed a shot. Amena never fired a bullet on duty, but she's lost track of how many archery competitions she's won. She prefers her bow and arrows, but sometimes she’ll settle on her laser gun, or “lighter” as she calls it.
Oh, and she’s asexual. She completely lacks romantic desires. No, it’s not repression, not due to any trauma. It’s just how she is. Besides, she’s too busy trying to see everything. Why focus inordinate time on one person? There are always so many interesting new people to meet.
Of course, this does not mean others lack interest in her, though the odds of her noticing are so slim as to be imperceptible.
No dark past motivates Amena -- no skeletons in the closet or horrific life events.
She just wants everything to be amazing.
