━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
	Amelia is a very gentle and friendly person. At least after one manages to break through the barriers she often builds around herself out of her shyness. She also wants to have friends, but whenever she meets someone, she would get too shy and embarassed to say anything most of the time, thus making it really hard to find friends. This doesn't dishearten her though, she had long since realized that those whom she does befriend despite this, are people whom she can really put her trust and friendship in.

 	After the fall of Newnan, Amelia started to change again. She who had just started to open up more towards others, closed off once again. Amelia started to become increasingly protective of her friends and those whom she trusts to the point she might have become slightly overprotective. In addition she started to display sure signs PTSD. She has difficulty sleeping, is constantly jumpy and often paranoid about their surroundings though she's adamant she's fine. She's not willing to trust strangers as easily anymore, she's always suspecting everything and anything of potential danger, never stopping to be careful of their surroundings. 

[color=8dc73f][b]⚘ A Brief History[/b][/color]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[hider=Pre-Outbreak]
[color=8dc73f][b]Growing Up:[/b][/color]
		Amelia was born in a loving family of 2. Her parents were middle class, but they made sure to provide their daughter with everything she had need of. She herself didn’t really have many things she wanted while she grew up, for even then she understood her parents were already trying the best they can, so she just was content with what they provided for her and the occasional wish she would make for Christmas.

	 When she was ten, her family had to move to Little Rock, because her parents found better jobs there. Her father was a gardener and her mother was a highschool teacher. Since then she grew up in Little Rock. It was hard at first as she had moved to an entirely different place, where all her hard created friendships were gone. With her shy mentality, she had troubles adjusting at first, but eventually managed to gather a small circle of friends so could trust.
	
 	When she entered highschool, Amelia quickly found out that even those few whom she trusted there, may not always have had best intentions. She was used into petty schemes and got burnt by it on multiple of occasions. Some people tried to bully her, while other just ignored her because she was a quiet girl. Finally there were those few with whom she actually forged friendships with. Those who got to know her, realized how good mannered and friendly person she actually was. Needless to say, rumors about her continued to be spread as a form of bullying, but she didn’t really pay attention to that, or at least tried to.

[hider=Post-Outbreak]
[color=8dc73f][b]Your First Walker Encounter:[/b][/color] Amelia’s first encounter with a walker was the day she left her home for the first time after the outbreak began. She was trying to reach the highschool her mother worked at. She had already given up hope for finding her parents alive. After all they would have came back home if they were, but she still held some hope that maybe the school had isolated itself and there were surviving people there. Truth wasn’t such sadly. When she saw the building from distance she could already see the open wide front doors and the figures moving about the place.

 	She tried to approach as much as she can, but alerted a walker at her. He started moving quickly towards her and then others followed him. She had left without any weapon back then so she just ran, nearly tripped twice while attempting to do so. She did get away, by throwing a rock at a car she had noticed had a blinking light from earlier when she passed by it. It took away the attentions of the walkers for long enough that she managed to escape and get back home. Since that day, she at least kept her father’s baseball bat always with her. 

[color=8dc73f][b]Those First Years:[/b][/color] Amelia was still in Small Rock when the outbreak started. She had decided to take a year before going to college, work as a waitress to gather up some money and make things easier on her parents. She had barely started her first week as a grown up working adult when the panic spread. When the first case of death from the outbreak happened in Little Rock, she ran straight to her house and locked the door. She hoped her family will get home right away, but that never happened as the panic spread and the city was swallowed by madness and death.

 	Her house was decently supplied with food and bottled water. Her parents never drank water from the sink. Thus she spend the first week after the outbreak, quietly staying in her home, alone. Slowly once by one the modern luxuries started to fail. At first she kept informed on the situation outside by watching to the news channels via headphones she plugged in the TV, but only a few days later the TV stopped receiving any signals. By that point the internet was out, eventually electricity stopped also. Like that Amelia found herself in her barely defended house at that point, alone with quickly dwindling supplies.

 	Maybe it was luck, but her house was never attacked by the walkers. She had seen them wander about the place, but she never really descended to the ground floor unless she was sure the area around was clear and she was extremely careful to not raise any noise and attract their attention. Still by the third week, she found herself nearly all out of supplies, no food and bottled water. Amelia also had gotten sick of staying alone in silence, she missed her family. Thus taking a back pack, she left her house one morning. She had to venture out and seek out what happened to everyone. Her house seemed to be in a relatively empty zone for there were barely any zombies around. She sneaked around a few houses, tested their doors if they were opened. She had some luck and managed to enter a few so she at least stocked up on canned food and bottled water. She then slowly made her way towards the local highschool where her mother worked. She didn’t even get close to it.

 	After another week, she couldn’t stay at her home anymore. She realized it wasn’t safe as some zombies had started moving around it more and more frequently. The very morning after that, she fileld her backpack with everything she can carry without getting overloaded and left her home.

 	She headed east towards Georgia, but her journey wasn’t as peaceful as the time spend quietly in her home. Her movement was slow because she was extremely careful. She would often hole up in well defendable houses in silence for days, waiting for a chance to run to pass. Even her meetings with other people were chaotic and scary most of the time. One group shot at her before she even could mutter a single sentence. She was lucky they got swarmed by nearby walkers while she managed to somehow escape. Another group outright captured her at one point. She managed to escape luckily when a fire spread out through their shelter when she threw herself shoulder first at a torch. That’s where she got her scar on the shoulder from.

	 After that event she spent a lot of time alone, trying to just survive in peace, but she could never spend too much time at one place. She tried to settle down at a settlement that appeared well protected enough on the border of Arkansas. In fact spend just over year and a half there, helping out by cleaning around, cooking and so on. It was a nice place, though it she left it the moment they were approached by a small group claiming unless they submit and give them all their food in 3 days a larger force would come and destroy them. She didn’t want to take chances so she left and continued her journey east. [/hider]
[hider=Since Entering RP]
[color=8dc73f][b]Newnan:[/b][/color] Newnan for Amelia was a keypoint in her life especially after the apocalypse. It was the first time she ever felt secure and comfortable anywhere after she lost everything in the initial outbreak. Having been parts of a few places in the past, she wasn't expecting it to become a real second home. She found friends and purpose in Newnan. The stability she never expected to find was there. She had a not too complex, but enjoyable enough job and most of the people were very good to be around with. Some were bad apples in a way, but she had tried to keep away from them. Not interracting meant no troubles.

	In fact she even found love in Newnan. Riley, someone with whom she arrived there as part of another group that joined up. It was a relationship that took a while, but from friendship to closeness and love, it was an experience she didn't think she'd get in this world anymore. Sadly the realization of said love had to be put on the test as right after that the settlement was destroyed by the most dangerous and unpredictable of foes - mother nature. A veritable cataclysm of their very own turned everything that so many people had worked towards into naught, but rubble and death. She was lucky to escape alive.

[color=8dc73f][b]Searching:[/b][/color] The journey or rather the search was a stressful period for Amelia as it probably was with all those that she traveled with. All of htem having survived Newnan, they couldn't reunite with all the survivors. Tati was missing and they had to search for her. It was a long journey, they lost people, but eventually they reunited with her and her son. There were tackles with some bandit type folks at that point and a storm... tornado even. Hell they had even lost the horde buster, their trusted mobile home. The constant life on the road without any security only increased the stressed she felt on top of her lingering trauma from Newnan, that was luckily not too serious, but never the less still there. In any case, she followed Ash and ash pointed them to Camp Mexico Beach.

[color=8dc73f][b]Camp Mexico Beach:[/b][/color] The group had successfully managed to get to Camp Mexico Beach. Some rocky mentally strained start aside at the initial Quarantine, it appears to be a stable place. A possible new home for them to live at. Some left others stayed behind. Still she and Riley could lead a stable life here, baring any unforseen cataclysmic events due the fact it's a coast settlement. Still they have a nice place to live in, stable food and even electricity within reason!

[sup]"I didn't mean for that to happen alright!?..."
[sup]- From Apologies on Medicine malpractices by Amelia Payne[/sup][/sup][/right]	
	The arrival at CMB was something that altered their lives in a very monumental manner and Amelia will be forever grateful for Ashton for seeing them through ti all. Despite everything, he was their leader when it mattered and she does like him and considers him a trusted friend, even if he wouldn't allow her near him for First Aid anytime soon more likely that not, and she already apologized! Still with a new place to live at and whole new set of daily challenges, maintain relationships is a good deal harder than it was when they all basically lived together in a cramped vehicle. Still Amelia does try to meet him as often enough, to chat and just keep in touch. Of course they all have their new lives to think of and budding families to look after, but still, friendships are important... And she trained in First Aid a lot just to reassure him!

[sup]"Keep it quiet will you!" 
[sup]-Ash trying to make Riley and Amelia keeping it quiet at night[/sup][/sup][/right]	
	Amelia and Riley met shortly before going to Newnan. They happened upon the same group of survivors and went from there, going through an attack on the shelter and eventually moving with the rest to Newnan. They started off as friends, Amelia having slightly more trouble to be open as usual, but they quietly formed a friendship non the less and stuff went uphill from there. By the time Tati and Jack were marrying, Amelia had fallen head over heels for the singer and after some alcohol boosted confidence on the night of the weddings she confessed and they finally got to be a couple. Short lived happiness given what followed on the next morning, but luck was on their side as eventually they reunitted shortly after escaping the ruins.

	From there it was them living and traveling along the rest of the survivors in search for the missing people and heading south towards the supposed save haven there. In those darkest days Riley was the main reason why Amelia could bring herself to stay focused and struggle to survive and make it through every day as much better as possible. Having her loved one close to her, gave Amelia the needed willpower to struggle tooth and nail so they all could make it through. Now with them having arrived at Camp Mexico Beach, now they've got a home of their own. Amelia holds mixed feelings with moderate hopes for this to last. The track record of the past isn't too great, but even if it provides a few years of peace for her to enjoy with Riley it would be worth it.

"So... we hunting that rat or not?" 
[sup]- Amelia inquiring with Nikki about a certain cartoonishly pesky animal.[/sup][/sup][/right]
	 Nikki and Amelia turned out to be getting along impressively well. Amelia for a shy and generally introverted young woman, does enjoy being around the energy bunny that is Nikki( as she had heard somebody at camp comparing her to). Nikki's rather outgoing and fun and Amelia really enjoys being friends with her. She might even get into mischief with Nikki if the Energy Bunny decides to drag her along for the ride. Amelia doesn't have many close friends, but the ones she has, she treasures a lot. Working with Nikki everyday and enjoying it? That's proof of friendship right there and it's enough for Amelia.

	 Amelia really likes Jack as a friend. He's nice and quite kind all things considered. Ever since he met up again with Tati and Jamie he turned for the better and is now a lot more happier. She likes him like this, though she keeps her distance from Jamie. Never the less Amelia does laugh to all his dad jokes cause she actually finds them funny most of the time and she does try to help him with all the chores so he could spend more time with Jamie.

"She has changed..." 
[sup]- Amelia whispering ot herself after reuniting with Tati[/sup][/sup][/right]
	 Amelia frankly doesn't know what to think and do about Tatiana. On one end having yet another comrade from Newnan is a great relief to her and on the other Tati's very closed off to her. Amelia mostly understands why though, she herself took a little while to get used to having the other woman around after everything that went down. Still she tries to help with anything that she could to the other woman and hopes they can be friends one day. Friends are a rare commodity after all.

[sup]- Amelia chatting up Nigel upon the topic of Historial facts in D&D[/sup][/sup][/right]
	 A rather unlikely budding friendship, Amelia found herself talking with Nigel a lot more often after the D&D sessions began. Him being somebody new to the hobby and actually knowing a weirdly huge amount about Roman culture and history. She actually found it all very fascinating and her inner creative writer and dreamer, took to listenign to his stories and facts about the ancient culture of his choice.  Everything she says is usually very fascinating and inspirational, giving ample possibilities to put into a curious story narrative. Even if he tends to focus too much in the real history at times.

"She is nice enough, I suppose... if a bit weird at times." 
[sup]- Amelia to Riley when talking about Lisa[/sup][/sup][/right]
	 Amliea doesn't have a overly grand relationship with Lisa by any stretch. They occasional talk and cross paths and they have gotten to know a bit better because of Nikki. Still they do not have quite as many common points to grow into close friends. She wouldn't mind spending time with her though, if only to get to watch the overly ellaborate traps and pranks that Lisa can put into action when she feels like it.

[sup]- Amelia to Riley on the new people they met in CMB.[/sup][/sup][/right]
	 There's not much of a relationship to talk between these two. Amelia's hasn't really had reasons to talk with Thana and vice versa. She knows her and they would've at least talked and introduced because of Ashton, but other than that, it's just on polite greeting in passing really.

	 Not much to tell, Amelia's obvious bias against dogs struck from the first moment they've joined up in the same vehicle to arrive in CMB and the time in quarantine didn't help any with his way of acting and constantly putting his foot into his mouth. The fiascos after they left quarantine didn't help either, but at least she doesn't want him dead, just properly leashed and as far away as possible.

	Amelia has not really interractedm uch with Thalia over their time in quarantine or afterwards. She knows her name an face of course, but the most notable thign she can really recall are the time that the woman strangely pulled attention to herself in very loud ways without looking like she meant to.
