Amari Peters is narrator and protagonist of the Supernatural Investigations series. She is a 13-year-old Black girl who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her mother. She also has an older brother, Quinton. Both Amari and Quinton, who are human, joined the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs and have been given magical abilities. Amari is a born magician, a very rare identity that makes her the target of prejudice, as most of the supernatural world is afraid of magicians. The young girl’s primary ability is to create illusions, while her secondary ability is weather magic, meaning that she can conjure up storms.

After Dylan cursed Quinton with a magical, endless sleep in Amari and the Night Brothers, Amari has made it her mission to find a way to cure her brother:

The whole reason I joined the Bureau last summer was to find out what happened to my missing brother, Quinton, who’d been working there as an agent fighting supernatural crime for years. I eventually found him, but not before Moreau had already put a curse so terrible on Quinton that he still hasn’t woken up from it (13).

Amari is also very loyal to her friends and does her best to support and protect them.
