Amaya Jiwe (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis)

"Don't deny the animal. But don't let it control you either."

- Amaya Jiwe

Amaya Jiwe was the bearer of the Spirit Totem during the World War II period. With the totem, Jiwe operated as Vixen, a member of the covert Justice Society of America and later as a time travelling member of the Legends of Tomorrow. Jiwe was also the mother of Esi and the grandmother of Kuasa and Mari, both donning the name of "Vixen" by 2017 and honoring Jiwe's legacy.

 * Shield Projection: After Jiwe communicated with her ancestor, she was able to project a shield that shaped like the Spirit Totem, to defend herself against the Water Totem.
