Borderlands 4: Amara
The Unstoppable Siren Returns - Justice Through Absolute Power
Amara: The Tiger of Partali
Born in the abysmal slums of Partali, Amara is most at home on the battlefield or in a brawl. She quickly became a local hero when she was young, once showing off by punching holes in a concrete truck.
Never content to stand idly by, people celebrated when she used her Siren abilities the first time she fought a bully, and since then, she's been using her powers to smash oppressors and dismantle her foes.
