Biography

Pumyra is one of the generation of "born" Amtgarders as the daughter of Maldread (thus she adopted the surname Bloodfangs). She also has a little brother, Infernape. In spite of being Mal's daughter, she's mostly an event junkie and arts and sciences fiend who enjoys the social aspects of Amtgard. Pumyra is working on becoming a more skilled fighter, but is more likely to be found chatting or glomping unsuspecting Amtgarders than haunting the ditch field.

Notable Accomplishments

• Became a full-fledged member member of the Wolves of Cernunnos fighting company on Friday, June 13th, 2014 under a full moon after being at the center of a three-way, three-part challenge for sponsorship between Feldon, Trillyon, and Azrael
  • In regards to the challenge: First, Feldon beat Trillyon at chess, then Azrael beat Feldon; then, at the chili cookoff, Az scored one point with his red chili while Feldon scored one point with his green chili; finally, Az beat Feldon in the fighting competition—technically, Azrael won the challenge overall, but he already had Onyx as a cub, so Az and Feldon flipped a coin to determine if Trill or Feldon would sponsor Pumyra . . . Feldon won the cointoss, and thus Pumyra walked the Wolf Circle after being presented by him

More Information

• At Clan 2011, Pumyra had announced to Lyndi that she had finally chosen an Amtgard name: Puma. Lyndi then had a brilliant and fateful idea . . . To make Pumyra a ThunderCats tunic with a mountain lion instead of the normal ThunderCats cat. That small comment changed everything for little Pumyra, who had never seen ThunderCats before; she'd always confused it for SWAT Kats, which she loathed, not to mention the fact that the Cats have been around for a whole decade longer than she has! However, that summer a new ThunderCats happened to premier, and Pumyra simply ADORED this new series in a way that even she had never known before. Let me tell you, that is no small feat! Any IMDer can attest to Pumyra's propensity for loving the things she does with all of her being! Thus, she took the name of her favorite heroine, period: Pumyra of the ThunderCats. It only made sense, seeing as she's more in love with pumas and ThunderCats than anything else! Pumyra has also garnered a great many nicknames, most of which she will respond to; Iyra (given to her by Loup) and Pumy are her favorites. Azrael also calls her Sheen (short for machine) because he thinks she's a machine on the battlefield . . . when she actually does fight, that is. Pumyra loved the nickname so much, she incorporated it into her persona as the title "the Mostly Mechanical".
• At Rakis 2015, Medryn handed out angry penguin stickers and only referred to Pumyra as Angry Penguin. This silliness all started because Pumyra's favorite memory of Kota happens to be a park day wherein she had brought her sketch book and was working on ideas for a shield cover she had planned to make for Trillyon. Kota had been acting like he was going to mess up her drawing, and so Pumyra brandished her mechanical pencil menacingly, promising to stab him should he get too close again. Because Pumyra is adorable as all get-out, Kota just laughed at her and told her she looked like a penguin, to which Pumyra screamed at the top of her lungs that she was a puma, not a penguin (does this story look familiar?). He told Pumyra she was too cute to be a puma, that pumas are scary, but, if you've ever seen an angry penguin, they're stupid adorable, even when they're pissed off and wrecking other penguin's days (search "penguin bitch slap" on YouTube for proof). It's still one of the greatest compliments Pumyra has ever received, and this was many years ago! So, even all this time later, Pumyra still tags Kota in posts of memes with adorable-as-heck animals that are promising death or threatening pain upon their viewers and asks him if that's about how he sees her when she's angry. Medryn saw one such post and liked it so much that he briefly renamed her in the ORK and set up a redirect page here on the AmtWiki. The joke was shared by many, and Whimsey even made Pumyra a belt favor with a small embroidery of penguins. So, if you ever hear of the legend of the Angry Penguin, now you know!
