Amaranth likes Greek mythology, classical music, poetry, and fanfiction. Her former username was Nobody, which she chose because she considers it fun to be "nobody". She enjoys writing poems and posted several stories on Fanfiction.net. However, discouraged by her lack of plot ideas, she discontinued them and went into hiatus. Her favorite anime is Code Geass, followed by Detective Conan. She left Detective Conan World for good on December 27, 2011, half a year since she joined. The exact reason why she left remains unclear. It took place however, after a big change in her life.

Name Origin
Amaranth's original username was "Nobody", but she changed it to Amaranth after deleting all the comments on her profile, saying that she wanted a fresh start. The name Amaranth was derived from the Greek amarantus, the name of a mythical flower believed to grow on Mount Olympus with petals that never fade. Her former display name Nobody was taken from The Odyssey. Odysseus is her favorite character in Greek mythology and she felt inspired by the episode where Odysseus and his men were trapped in the cave of the Cyclops Polyphemus and he used the name "Nobody" to deceive the Cyclops. Also, when reading the wiki bios of DCW members, she saw IdentityUnknown's page and reasoned that if they have an Identity Unknown, they should also have a Nobody. She often enjoyed using the double-meaning of her name in jokes with other members. Finally, she changed it after Chelsea said that she "detests it because no one can ever be nobody."
Personality
She is sometimes labelled as a weirdo and often feels out of place. She is a melancholic introvert by nature who often spends time brooding over life, but is quite friendly and talkative around the people who are close to her. Following a big change in her life, her personality and interests have changed greatly.
Languages Spoken
Although she was born and raised in the Philippines, English is her first and primary language. Over the years, she has gained fluency in Filipino, and uses it about 50% of the time on the site. She can also understand a few words in the dialect Cebuano.
Relationship Analysis
Amaranth has overcome her shyness and tries to be friendly towards everyone. She does have a few close friends whom she trusts, namely:
Unrequited Hope
Main Article: Koizumi Akako
They first met on fanfiction.net when Koizumi Akako, under the penname Chelseaj500, reviewed one of Amaranth's fanfiction stories. It was also after reading Chelsea's story Into the World of Detective Conan that she decided to join DCW. Chelsea calls her Ama-chan, a nickname derived from Nobody's fanfiction.net username, Amaranta-chan. As a sign of gratitude, Amaranth wrote a story about Chelsea entitled Akako's Apprentice which remains unfinished. She admires Chelsea's talents in writing, drawing, and creating AMVs. Chelsea is unique among the people Amaranth has met on DCW both for her insane laugh and her courage to set the trend and venture into new horizons. Although they do not chat often, she feels that Chelsea is one of the few people that she and all of DCW cannot live without.
