Hi! I'm Lady Amaranth. A lot of people know me as either Amaranth, Winter, or Charity Lynn on the internet. :) You can call me pretty much anything you want, although a lot of online friends call me Char as well. :)

Although born in the state of California, where I lived for 11 1/2 years, I am now a resident of the state of Iowa. I guess after a while, anywhere can be home. ;) I've been in Iowa since 1987, except for a 4 1/2 year stint in Texas.

I have one Shih Tzu dog named Panda and a black cat named Spooky that I live with, as well as my best friend Lady Pinkwingz, her mom, and her kitty Patches.

I have been in competitions since 2001, although I took a long break when my mom was on hospice and after she passed away. I have been a member of Fantasy Fights, Site Fights, Heart N Soul, Golden Elite, The Wizard's Quest, The Site Wars, Seven Wonders of the World, and several other comps that I can't even remember the names of now. :) I have been a TL or an ATL for Fantasy Fights, Heart N Soul, Golden Elite, The Wizard's Quest, Seven Wonders of the World, and more as well.

Well, that's about all for now. I'm sure I'll think of more and add to this later! :)
