Name
Amelia Artemia Averyonna
Age
18
Indepth Appearance
Amelia is a short, petite girl, just barely standing at a full five feet tall and weighting a mere hundred and ten pounds. Her skin is fair and flawless, not marred by any tattoos or piercings, though the occasional bit of acne can show up. Amelia generally does not use make-up but she does use skincare products to keep her skin healthy, preferring to let her natural beauty shine through.
Amelia's gold blonde hair falls down just past her shoulders and is straight until it get's closer to the tips, at which point it begins to curl unless she straightens them. She generally keeps her hair loose and let's it fall naturally, only running a comb or brush through it to get rid of the knots and keep it somewhat neat. The only time Amelia ties her hair up is when she need to concentrate or keep it out of the way, usually when she's working on a project or sketching.
Amelia's eyes are a steely blue, not quite grey but not quite blue either. One odd feature of her eyes is a small ring of what appears to be a shade of orange close to her pupil, which is only noticeable to those who actually examine them closely.
Personality
Amelia is a very shy and reclusive girl, which is not helped by her muteness and fondness for quiet places. Preferring the company of nature to the company of other humans, Amelia tends to shun social gatherings in order to spend time by herself and go for a walk around town, particularly the local parks and gardens. However, she is not completely anti-social. Once one can get out her shy personality and inability to talk, they can find a girl who values the company of others, especially those she counts among her friends. She is willing to listen to them and let them vent their griefs to her and help them get over their problems so long as it is within her ability and she feels that 'helping' will not hurt them more.
Like all people though, she is not without her downsides. Other then her overly shy nature, Amelia lacks any and all traces of self-confidence. She views her sketches and paintings as average or, more often, below average, despite that fact that they are very detailed and realistic works of art. She is also scared that she won't live up to the expectations of others, especially her parents and those she considers friends. To her, disappointing them is tantamount to failing at life. While she is eager the please others, she has a strong sense of right and wrong and will not do anything she views as wrong, even if pressured to do so. If she loses a friend doing something she knows is right, she at least takes solace in doing the right thing, even if she feels terrible afterwards.
When it comes to love, Amelia is inexperienced but knows what she wants. She wants someone who doesn't force her to do things she doesn't want to and will support her, even in the toughest of times, as well being able to accept everything about her, good and bad. However, she doubts anyone would even be interested in her and doesn't have high hopes of finding anyone. This is not helped by her appearance, as she feels vastly underdeveloped compared to some of the other girl's she was around.
Backstory
Born to a middle class family consisting of her father Thomas, a small time business man, her mother Erina, who owned a flower shop, and her older brother Arthur, Amelia has lead a mostly protected life. From a very young age, Amelia's health was a concern. The first known problem was her muteness, which was immediately obvious from birth. The second concern was her immune system, which seemed on the weaker side, causing her to get sick quickly and recover slowly.
One of Amelia's favorite activities early on in her life was drawing, something she would spend most of her time doing. By the time she was in second grade, her artistic skills were well beyond those of her peers. She was able to accurately draw the flowers in her mother's shop, albeit without the details needed to be considered truly accurate. Seeing this, her parents signed her up for extra art classes and began pushing her to improve. As time went on, they would become overly critical of her work, to the point that it seemed like nothing would satisfy them.
To make matters worse, her brother wasn't very supportive of her either. Jealous of all the attention his little sister was receiving, the boy began bullying her while they were still young. Taking advantage of her inability to talk, and therefore call for help, and inability to fight back for fear of causing more drama, the boy would pull off various malicious, sometimes cruel, stunts. When Amelia was only six, he locked her out of the house during a thunderstorm while their parents were away, only letting her in in time for her to take a bath and change cloths before their parents came home, leaving the girl traumatized for life. As time went on, he would leave her alone but his attitude towards her is still antagonistic and he often belittles her.
Other then her home life, and the expectations placed upon her, Amelia has lead a rather normal, uneventful life until four years ago. Moving up in the business world, Amelia's father can now afford to send her to more expensive schools and, just after her freshman year began, had his daughter transferred to a new high school. The transition was rough for her, as she quickly became a target for bullying due to her shy nature and inability to talk. It wasn't until Elizabeth stepped in and stood up for her that things began getting better. Elizabeth brought Amelia into her group of friends and helped Amelia come out of her shell a bit as well as get to know everyone. Amelia in return became very loyal to Elizabeth and has done her best to support Elizabeth however she can throughout the years.
Future Plans
Amelia is unsure of what she wants to do. For now, she's just living life and trying to have fun while figuring out what SHE wants to do without her parent's interference.
