Slithereen would have been a person who would hate a chauvinistic Amarrian like Vamprac.
For she is a Ni-Kunni, the daughter of a famous Ni Kunni painter, who used to venture to the stars alone in scout ship, then attempt to paint all the glory he sees with a mere brush of colored acrylic, a time tested technique that dates thousands of years back to Old Earth.
He taught her, "anyone can take a picture of the heavens, but to capture its soul, you have to paint it."
Slithereen grew up in abject poverty as any daughter of a living artist would be. But when her father died, his works became worth a lot of money, and she used this money to pay his debts and then finally bought a ship and skills of her own.
She swore never to be poor again.
Unlike true Amarr, her Ni-Kunni and artistic taught her to accept all races. She joined a corporation whose very title proposes galactic brotherhood, recruited no less by a Minmatar Brutor. Here she is joined by other Ni-Kunni and true Amarrians who see that the way to the future is to embrace peace and brotherhood for all.
She has no qualms to use the best tools to achieve her objectives, never mind if its non-Amarr. Now a rich owner of several frigates, she has chosen that frigate, feared and hated among many Amarrians, as her main fighting ship---the Rifter. Such decisions would have made her an outcast among chauvinistic Amarrians. But she did not stop there---chosing a Minmatar Probe---as her ship of all purpose trade.
Her battle style too is very un-Amarr, preferring speed over strength, missiles and projectiles over lasers. She can be mistaken more for a Caldari or a Minmatar than a citizen from the Amarr empire.
She has a bad habit---she loves spending sprees and collecting things. Especially ships that catch her eyes. She has amassed a personal collection of frigates, including a Merlin, a Tristan, a Punisher, an Incursus, an Imiscus, an Inquisitor and a Kestrel, in addition to her Rifter and Probe. She still keeps a variety of shuttles and civilian ships like Impairers, Reapers, Velators and Ibis as shuttles. If not for her spending sprees, she would have acquired a cruiser sooner. Somehow she hates big and slow ships, and hence why she never bought an industrial. Also Bestowers are just plain painful a sight for the eyes of the daughter of an artist.
As you can see she has developed a recent fondness of Gallente ships, loving their artform, having no less than four ships in her private collection---and plans to senselessly acquire more in the future just to "have it". Ni-Kunni at birth, but a Gallente in soul.
But even the artist's daughter must ultimately succumb to the trends of the times. For the future lies with big ships. She is now the proud pilot of an Omen cruiser, "The Eyes of Calypso".
But the gleam in her eyes tells you that the Calypso won't be her last cruiser.
