The Amazon is a powerful woman warrior of the Askari, who belongs to nomadic bands who roam the plains near the South Sea. The wandering of these groups often brings them into conflict with other peoples, so the Amazon is accustomed to fighting to defend her own. This lifestyle has made her fiercely independent and able to weather severe hardship and travel. While her skill with the Bow rivals that of the Rogues, the Amazon is also adept in the use of Spears and Javelins, as well as in hand to hand combat. Amazon Weapons are items which only Amazons can equip. These are special Bows, Javelins and Spears. The Amazon is much sought after as a mercenary, in which type of service she will be loyal as long as her own ends are also served. She is voiced by Jessica Strauss.

(after talking with Tyrael): "This is not good. Will this madness ever end?"
Act III

(upon freeing the last soldiers in the Frigid Highlands): "Follow me."
(upon entering Nihlathak's Temple): "Oh, Nihlathak's home away from home."
(after defeating Nihlathak): "Conspiring with Baal, what a tragic mistake."
