	Amunet is a character first mentioned in the 2009 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', as one of seven legendary Assassins with a dedicated statue in the [[Sanctuary]] of the [[Villa Auditore]]. Each of these Assassins have a unique accomplishment in history pertaining to the assassination of a historical figure. In Amunet's case, it is the assassination of Cleopatra with an asp.		Amunet is a character first mentioned in the 2009 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', as one of seven legendary Assassins with a dedicated statue in the [[Sanctuary]] of the [[Villa Auditore]]. Each of these Assassins have a unique accomplishment in history pertaining to the assassination of a historical figure. In Amunet's case, it is the assassination of Cleopatra with an asp.

	Amunet was not formally introduced until the 2017 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'', where it is revealed that the character Aya (voiced by [[Alix Wilton Regan]]), the wife of the protagonist Bayek, would become Amunet following the foundation of the Hidden Ones, the precursors to the Assassin Brotherhood. However, Amunet's assassination of Cleopatra is {{~~wiki~~\|Retroactive continuity\|retconned}} in the [[Assassin's Creed: Origins (comic)\|''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' comic]], set after the events of the game, where it is revealed that she did not directly kill the queen, but rather provided her with the poison she used to take her own life. This is closer to the historical version of events, as Cleopatra allegedly committed suicide with either a venomous asp or poison.

	In cutscenes as well as renders for promotional art, Aya is shown wielding the [[Storm Blades]], a legendary set of dual swords that are obtainable in ''Assassin's Creed: Origins'', though while playing as her she is permanently equipped with the far more common [[Twin Blades]].

	The name Amunet ''jmnt'' is itself derived from the name Amun ''jmn'' with the feminine suffix ''-t''. There are several meanings and backgrounds to the name Aya, but based on the historical and demographic context, the most likely would be; the [[Mesopotamia]]n goddess {{Wiki\|Aya (goddess)\|Aya}} ''a-a'' (𒀭𒀀𒀀) "dawn"; {{Wiki\|Aya (queen)\|Aya}}, queen of the {{Wiki\|Thirteenth Dynasty of Egypt}}; derived from the [[Arabia\|Arabic]] ''āyah'' (آية) "omen, sign, proof, commandment, law, rule and/or guidance"; or from the Ancient Greek ''Agía'' (Αγία) "holy, saint".
