It's her somewhat tan skintone mixed with her somewhat hispanic facial features, and curly hair that does it. She has no idea what race she is - just that she's half-white, and half-hispanic. It's really none of her concern as she never met her parents. Amelia's face is bulky, and somewhat masculine due to the strong jaw she has. What doesn't help is the fact that she's quite a bit tall, and has very broad shoulders. Amelia couldn't care either way what you think of her, she's what she is, and that was what mattered. Though, she seems a bit hard to read for some people. She's withdrawn, and seemingly nervous in any interaction. She usually keeps her head down, and stays quiet, unless she has something to say. Even the way she walks is withdrawn, because she walks slowly, as if she's being calculated. People think that she's just bad at being social. Though her body language changes when she's around people she's friendly with people. Due to years of being athletically active, and having an interest in the outdoors, Amelia is pretty fit. She doesn't have any bulging muscles, but if you were to catch her naked, you would see that she has a bit of bulk to her build. Most of the bulk is on her legs due to all the morning jogging that she does. Amelia has fairly long arms and legs, nearly disproportionate to the rest of her body. In addition, her shoulders are pretty broad. So broad that she has to shop in the men's section. Despite this, Amelia still has a bit of sex appeal. Her chest is pretty flat due to having 34D's, but she has a "bubble butt." It's the reason why Amelia thinks that she's part Brazilian. Her body shape is roughly an hour-glass, with wide hips that match the shoulders that she has. Though she has more butt. Amelia's body has quite a bit of scarring from an incident that happened not too long ago. There are sickly looking, fleshy, scars, going from her leg shoulder to across her chest to the other side of her body. These scars are wild, and clearly done by an animal (or something close to it) of sorts. She desperately keeps the scars covered up out of disgust, and to avoid stupid questions. Otherwise, Amelia's skin is fairly clear, albeit a tad marked with other scars, moles, and anything of the sort. Her facial features are diamond-shaped. Amelia's most distinct facial feature is her strong-jaw. She has a very wide jaw, that is incredibly bulky - which seamlessly blends into her chin (which has a cleft). Which comes with the perk of having a good, sharp, jawline. Amelia has thick lips that have a pointy-natural shape, and an upturned, button-nose, that barely look disproportionate from one another. Her nostrils are triangular, and she has a thickish nose-bridge. With her ears being crescent-shaped and large, usually hidden by her messy mane of curly brown hair.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=olive][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"I'm going to end loneliness, one way or another."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=olive][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Amelia is presently looking for a purpose in life. In any place. Her current purpose is finding and connecting to the one friend that she had, and lost contact with years ago. Just so they can make up for lost time, and so that she can help her end lonliness. [color=olive][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Everything requires a purpose. From people, to animals, to the ground she stands on. If you don't have a purpose, you're useless. That's the root of Amelia's self-loathing, as she believes that she [i]has[/i] no purpose. Another facet of her philosophy is the fact that she believes that [i]anything[/i] is worth it if you put the effort in. [color=olive][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Amelia keeps a close encounter with the supernatural a secret all because she feels as if nobody would believe her (and that she's crazy). Amelia also keeps her true feelings for a friend of hers a secret. [color=olive][b]DESIRES ⫻[/b][/color] The one thing that Amelia wants out of life is to end the crushing loneliness, one way or another. She uses anything that she can to cope with it in the meantime. Such as alcohol, aggressive music, and going on dangerous hiking treks through the woods. It never seems to help long term as it can only help her for so long. She really wishes that she could talk to the person that had betrayed her, and explain her side of the story to them. [color=olive][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Amelia strangely feels no attraction towards either gender. Male, nor female. She thinks she's asexual, but still feels something. [color=olive][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Amelia fears nothing in particular. [color=olive][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Amelia is relatively unknown around Farmer Hill. When she's there, people hardly notice her, and when they do, they usually don't for long enough to form a solid opinion. After a certain incident in the woods; she picked up the reputation for being a girl that survived being attacked by an animal in the woods. [color=olive][b]PET PEEVES ⫻[/b][/color] Killing insects, and arachnids - [i]especially[/i] spiders. You see, Amelia looked to the nature kingdom, and developed an interest in the two kinds of animals for comfort. She relates to spiders the most, but she hates it when these beautiful creatures are killed unnecessarily, and will tear into you if you do. [color=olive][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] Amelia has plenty of quirks, from her strange fascination with insects and arachnids (she'll stare at them), to her withdrawn attitude. They just pile up so high that it's impossible to list all of them. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=olive][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"I don't really know what to tell ya', I'm just the girl that lived."[/i] [indent][indent]It's a true mystery where Amelia even came from. She was just abandoned as an infant with not a trace as to where she came from, or who are her parents. It makes Amelia no difference, but she ended up in an orphanage in Texas. Where she spent a majority of her early years... feeling like an outcast. She found it hard to connect with other children her age, and ended up living her early years alone. Though, that loneliness didn't last for too long as she formed a bond with another girl that was at her orphanage. Suddenly, the real Amelia came out - a quirky, kind, girl, that wanted to experience so much - and the two were inseparable. With Amelia treating the girl as a sister of sorts... then the girl got adopted, and went off somewhere. Amelia felt [i]incredibly[/i] betrayed, and spent many days and nights in isolation trying to rationalize what had happened - trying to avoid feeling betrayed. But, it ended up becoming [i]envy[/i] as Amelia was jealous that the girl got to leave before she could. Amelia spent many years in the orphanage, up until she was thirteen, when she got adopted by a single mother - seemingly out of pity. She spent one last year in Texas, before moving to Farmer Hill, Montana. Living in Mason Square, near the mountain. It was definitely a change of pace... but, Amelia felt a burning desire for the girl, as she coped with the "betrayal." It definitely didn't help that she was going through puberty, and such irrational feelings were doubled. Amelia tried to let it go, and instead find comfort where ever. One such place of comfort was the woods - and especially the woods around the mountain. Enjoying the surreal beauty that the woods presented to her. Still, it wasn't long before the isolation returned to her, and the woods became just another empty space. She tried to meet with people, but her attempts to connect with others only ended in isolating herself more. Becoming a weirdo. Eventually, as Amelia grew up, she learned to cope with the loneliness so much that it became second nature to her. She found hobbies, and other such things to distract herself from it. One such hobby was a love of nature, and collecting spiders. Amelia always had an interest in spiders... the dangerous beauty they provided enticed her. She placed it in sanitariums, where she kept them as pets. She'd venture through the woods whenever she had time, and would go out and collect spiders, and insects for them to feed on. Sometimes encountering the many inhabitants of Farmer Hill that also enjoyed the woods. This was the start of her decision to pursue a career in Entomology... since Arachnology practically doesn't exist anymore. That was the reason behind her attending Grand Ridge, and it lessened the loneliness that Amelia felt as she met more people like herself. Though, that didn't last long. A few weeks ago, before the start of the story; Amelia suffered a particularly bad depressive episode, and went out into the woods one night to clear her mind. She strayed near the mountain, and... she heard something in the bushes. The next moment Amelia was running for her life back towards town. Eventually, whatever was after her attacked her, and caused some pretty serious wounds, but it was driven off by [i]somebody[/i]. That same somebody dragged her back to town for medical attention, before disappearing. For the next few weeks, Amelia remained in the hospital, with the knowledge that it was something more than an animal. She was discharged a few days ago.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=olive][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"You know that circus trick where a man is tied to a wheel?"[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=olive][b][Nature] ⫻[/b][/color] Amelia as an avid lover of the outdoors has quite a knowledge of it. It's mostly limited to the various spiders, but she knows her way around the woods of Farmer Hill. Fairly extensively. To the point where she can easily find her way through the woods via the usage of land marking. [color=olive][b][Basketball] ⫻[/b][/color] Amelia took up an interest in basketball to help her cope with some of the loneliness she felt. This is the reason behind her more athletic body shape, and more. It did wonders for her balance, coordination, aim, and running speed. [color=olive][b][Knife Throwing] ⫻[/b][/color] Another thing that Amelia thought it was cool to do... albeit, very difficult. She likes to practice throwing knives at trees, and it's the reason why her aim is so good. Though, it's not something she can do in a fight. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=olive][b] ABSTRACTION [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Oh boy, I'm Spider-woman."[/i] [indent][indent] [color=olive][b]SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻[/b][/color] [url=http://moziru.com/images/spider-clipart-october-13.png]On her right thigh she has the symbol of a massive spider.[/url] [color=olive][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] Aura-Spider Mimicry, Amelia has the ability to mimic the abilities of a spider. [color=olive][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Based upon her fascination with spiders, Amelia has a connection with spiders, starting with the ability to transform into one. Amelia has the ability to retract eight spider-legs out of her upper back. They're glowing an olive-colored light, and are each twelve feet in length. These legs are attached to her spiritually, and are created by her aura itself. A personalized aura field. These legs are capable of climbing on any surface a spider is capable of, and are strong enough to lift her up. Making her capable of far more speed, stealth, flexibility, and more. They're pointed at the very tip, and, thus, are capable of being used as weapons. Not quite the best weapon, but it can leave a nasty wound. Amelia is capable of wall-crawling without the usage of her legs. The other half of her abilities is the power to create "webs" out of her body (including her spider's web). They appear identical to regular spider webs, but they're made out of the same glowing olive-green aura. She is capable of basic techniques such as spinning a thread, but she can also fire it out in huge nets - and at the very most, can create objects out of it. It's always thick as a cord, and it's stickiness is dependant upon Amelia. They have a localized telekinetic field responsible for their adhesive qualities - so if she wants to, she can be completely immune to her own web's effects. The web is pretty strong, enough to bind a human being and they'll be helpless against it. The third and final capability is a mental connection to spiders. For starters, she has an empathetic ability to all spiders within fifteen meters of herself. She can tell how they feel, and their state. Amelia can also use this connection to dominate their minds, and control them. She can command them to do anything, from move there, to making them build a complex web. Through this empathy, Amelia is capable of healing their wounds, and causing them to grow in size (the biggest size she can force a spider to grow is to the size of a birdeater tarantula) - with no damage done to the spider. With this connection, Amelia can communicate with spiders, and they can tell her things... such as what they sense. It's not exactly a powerful ability, but Amelia makes it work. [color=olive][b]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/b][/color] Amelia's spider transformation abilities increase to the point where she can become a massive aura spider - made out of the same green aura as her legs. Roughly taking the shape of a brown recluse spider, her legs are easily twenty feet in length. Her body is the size of a mini-cooper. In this state, she's a lot physically stronger, and can move much faster - at the cost of losing some of her maneuverability due to her sheer size. She can control whether or not she transforms into the spider, or just summon it's traits. Amelia's ability to create webs also increases to the point where she can telekinetically move the webs, instead of just spinning it. Allowing her to build webs much easier, and more efficiently. Amelia's psychic connection to spiders increases to a range of two square miles while in the presence of the mountain. [color=olive][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Her aura reading ability is a bit different. Amelia has the ability to sense of the aura of the person she desires in a range of around seventy-one meters. She can freely sense them through walls, but once she enters a range of twenty-six meters, her aura reading cuts off, and she loses the ability to detect them. However, connected to her innate connection to spiders; she also gets the ability to read the auras of spiders within fifteen meters (and two square miles while in the presence of the mountain). [color=olive][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] There isn't too many limits to the ability - she can remain in the spider-state long as she is conscious. The webs themselves only remain tangible for about ten minutes, before they fade away. In terms of durability, the legs are roughly comparable to hardened bone. They can withstand a few bullet rounds without giving out, but something large and packing a lot of force, like a car, can easily break through them. Any damage done to the aura limbs has to "heal" in a way, and it takes a few hours at most to repair destroyed legs. However, if any of her legs are destroyed, she'll receive a severe mental backlash. [color=olive][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] Her aura-based appendages are especially vulnerable to the powers of other awakened. An Awakened with super strength can break through it with ease. Fire and other corrosive substances can easily dissolve her webs. In addition, the webs aren't as sticky or tough as they would be when exposed to an Awakened.
