This girl's name means Wanderer in Hindi. Her original name was Patty, however she came to fall in love with India when she first traveled and thus decided to change her name to something more suiting and mysterious. However, sometimes she goes by the nickname of Amber, as it's her favorite stone


Pathika's song is Home, by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. This song describes in perfect depth her relationship with her brother (not romantic), and her deeper love for her nomadic traveling. She loves to see the world, but she will always be at home the moment she is with her brother. It also has one of her favorite little tunes to whistle as she is on the move!


Pathika treasures her life of wandering above all else. While she adores her brother, her wanderlust is insatiable and she's seeing what she can see in the world, like a gypsy on a far larger scale. All she wants and truly needs with her life is her dusty guitar, a story, and the open sky; from that she can go anywhere.
Why insist upon such a grueling lifestyle when she could just as easily go home? The answer: Pathika is in love with all of the wonders of the world about her. Since she first breathed, she was always curious and appreciative of the beauties of the world, from the flutter of a butterfly to the great structures built by humans. Her peaceful and adventurous personality enables her with ease to enjoy socializing with others, freedom, and the open roads. She doesn't care if she’s in a hayloft or without bread in her belly, so long as there are some new discoveries around the bend.
In some ways, however, Pathika can easily get irritated with her lifestyle. She can’t stand it when she looks for housing and is shoved aside for her scruffy appearance. Often she is also enraged by the close mindedness of some of the parras and creatures she meets in her travels. Pathika, despite these pricks on her very quick temper, would not choose another way to live for anything. There are far too many places to be and so much wisdom to learn!
