As a pilot, she tends to wear an aviator's jacket and khakis with her flight boots all the time, so that way she is ready to go at a moment's notice. If her flight helmet wasn't so annoying with her hair, she would constantly wear it as well. If she's for whatever reason not dressed for flight, she tends to really love cashmere sweaters. They're so cozy!

She is fearless, able to take leaps that would paralyze others with fear. Her personal philosophy is that if something is worth doing, then there's no sense in being afraid - that you just have to charge forward, consequences be damned, and fly. She doesn't look before she runs, taking leaps of faith instead and for the most part, this has worked out for her. She is very courageous, but also intuitive - her gut essentially is one of her key assets, helping her to determine the unknowns in a situation and come out on top. She loves the rush of adrenaline. She's a bit of a daredevil, the sort of person who would try out Parkour routines on the internet without it becoming ironic. The more her blood is pumping, the more she feels alive. Of course, she also is a very compassionate person, wanting to do her part to build a better world. She wants to reach out and touch the sky. She believes she can do anything.

They refused to allow her to train as a fast jet fighter. She was discriminated against on the basis of sex and race. And while she knew that the United States was no walk in the park when it came to either of those issues, S.H.I.E.L.D. promised that she wouldn't be limited when it came to what craft she could fly. She could realize her dream of becoming the best pilot in the world. She took their offer and didn't look back. [b][color=FFB795]General History:[/color][/b] Amelia's mother died of cancer before she had learned to crawl. She was adopted by her uncle, growing up in a small two bedroom flat. Her uncle's "roommate" lived there as well. The two of them were very loving and caring, always encouraging Amelia to chase her dreams, no matter what. She always loved airplanes - her uncle's roommate was a flight instructor, so he would take her up as soon as she was old enough to handle the altitude changes without crying. Her uncle was a history teacher at a local high school and he would read to her books about Amelia's idol - Amelia Earhart. Once she was fourteen, she got her Student Pilot Certificate and when she was fifteen, she graduated to the Pilot Certificate, able to fly on her own. Tragedy struck soon afterwards however, as her uncle's "roommate" was killed in a plane crash. It had been a clear and sunny day, when all of the sudden, massive clouds rolled in as he was out for a flight and once the clouds cleared again minutes later, he was gone. His plane wasn't recovered. Her uncle didn't take his death well, denying that his "roommate" was dead. He went off the deep end, becoming a full blown UFO conspiracy theorist. He lost his job and neglected Amelia, causing her to sign up with the Royal Australian Air Force as soon as she was eligible at sixteen and a half years old. Amelia loved being a part of the RAAF. Women had been cleared for combat in the late 80's, so she was trained just the same as the men - well, [i]almost[/i]. They didn't allow women to train as fast jet fighter pilots - something that had quickly evolved into an obsession for Amelia. She wanted to go higher, further, faster in service of her country. She wanted to taste the sky and push the limits just as her idol Earhart had done. Her talent as a pilot drew the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. and they promised Amelia that she wouldn't be prohibited from anything on the basis of gender, so she accepted the offer, leaving the RAAF after four years of service. She went to the Operations Academy, progressing through it in four years as standard. While Amelia learned a variety of techniques, her heart was always set on piloting, so S.H.I.E.L.D. allowed her to concentrate there, letting her fly experimental craft from Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. even. She even got to fulfill her dream of becoming a fast jet fighter pilot. In February of 2020, Amelia underwent terrigenesis due to the Terrigen Bomb event, gaining the ability to manipulate the air - to [i]fly[/i].
