Background Info:Amelia was conceived thanks to one too many drinks and a bad decision. Her parents tried to stick it through, even getting married a few months before she was born, but once Amelia was diagnosed with Predominantly Hyperactive ADHD around six years old her father gave up and left. Not able to pay for her medication by herself, Amelia's mother thought of the brilliant notion to focus her daughter's excessive amount of energy into sports. Amelia proved to be a natural athlete and played throughout all elementary and middle school. By the time she entered high school, she was well known for her bubbly personality and athletic prowess, instantly making her a popular student among her peers. Life seemed to be going great in all aspects of her life, even for her mom who had begun dating again.
It was in her junior year when Amelia began to notice something different. She had constant headaches and could not recall easy words in normal conversation. After one particularly painful headache, she was sent to the E.R. where doctors found a tumor on the left side of her brain. She was reassured that surgery would be the best step in getting rid of the tumor and in a matter of days, Amelia was all prepped in front of the O.R. However, the next time she woke up, she was greeted by grave-looking doctors and her tear-stricken mother. It was then that Amelia was informed that there was a complication during her surgery; the area of her brain that was in charge of her speech had been damaged. Amelia was incredulous but when she opened her mouth to express her disbelief, a jumble of gibberish came out instead of coherent words. The doctors informed her that even if she were to do therapy, she would never speak the same way she did before.
Amelia's mother started off as a rock for the red-head at the beginning of her recovery but slowly began to pull away when she found a new man in her life. By the time Amelia was released from the hospital, it was a taxi that was waiting to take her to her new home. Although her mother was ecstatic to see her, her step-father and step-siblings weren't. They saw her as a burden who craved attention and soon, her mother felt the same way. Over time, Amelia was left out of family activities and was unable to continue her speech therapy. Her school life wasn't any better as people she had thought were friends now shunned her because of her inability to communicate. Even when she was given the okay to participate in sports again, her old teammates and coaches treated her as if she could break any second and she was unable to play to her fullest extent.
A year and a half later, Amelia graduated from high school. The next day, she was kicked out of her step-father's home. Homeless and confused, Amelia found her way to the Blackwing Apartments and was able to get herself a room. She eventually got a job as a delivery girl and has been living off tips and minimum wage for the past two years. Life has come back to Amelia's eyes during that time as she now communicates through a notepad.
Other:-Her handwriting is horrendous so she relies mostly on pictures and hand signs to communicate.
-Runs every morning
-Hates silence and constantly keeps the music or television on whenever she's home alone.
-Can still make sounds like hums and grunts, but refuses to speak.
Amelia's Relationship Chart
♥ = romance|| ♦ = friends || ♠ = enemies || ○ = neutral
♦ Jin: Amelia's incredibly grateful for Jin's hospitality and help. Not only did he provide her a home but he also helped her get the job she has now. She tries to pay him back as much as she can but Jin always takes less than what she originally gives.
♦/♥ Adonis "Andy" Ring: She has a little crush on the handsome boy living below her and has always been curious about the shut-in. She tries to find excuses to go past his window/balcony and talk to him but it hasn't worked out quite well for her.
♦ Daniel Wordsworth: She finds him incredibly pretty and is in awe of his fashion sense. But other then that, she hasn't spoken with him enough.
○ Isam Hajjar: New guy. She has yet to form an opinion of him.
○/♦ Cat: He's definitely scary but since Amelia loves to hang out with Dog, she always runs into him. She still acts friendly with him, even with the threat of getting punched.
♦ Dog: Loves hanging out with him and even thought he was cute for a while. However, the thought of Cat being a brother-in-law has ruined all notions of asking Dog out.
♦ Erin Keller: One of the first friends she made at Blackwing. Is curious about her job as a writer and has made it a mission to read her books. She has gotten only through half of one of them so far.
○ Alice White: Amelia finds her adorable but is constantly running from her and her OCD ways.
♥ Amelia Perrault: It took a while for her to like herself again, but away from the demeaning eyes of her family has helped her a lot.
○/♠ Estelle "Stella" Adams: It's hard for Amelia to really communicate with her, seeing as she's blind and all. The communication boundary has prevented them from being friends and she tries to avoid the sarcastic girl.
♦ Mackenzie Cole: Another one of Amelia's good friends. Loves her music and plays air guitar whenever Kenzie rocks out.
♦/○ Leslie "Nevermore" Axelfeild: Amelia thought he was rather strange but was one over by one of his personalities. Has promised to go bowling with her and has yet to do so.
♦ Cody Mensah: She sees him as a really cool guy and is interested in his witch-y ways. She wonders if he knows any spells to help get her speech back.
♠ Lucy Coure: Reminds her too much of her old step-sister and she can't stand her bratty ways.
