Past History
Hometown: Masarra (on the world of Kairn) First Memory: Random flashes of home life with her mother (including poking her growing belly when she was pregnant with her first brother) and being at the family shop with her father. She's not actually sure which of the memories is "first." Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: The first time her then two year old sister got sick enough that the family wasn't certain she'd live through the night because they didn't have access to more adept healers. Amelia was twelve at the time. Why/How? Over the years as Amelia spent more time out of the house with her father at the family's shops and her grandparents running errands for the family, she noticed a trend she didn't like. Nobles and lesser politicians (those "above" her family) looked down on them whenever they tried to better themselves, whether it was expanding the family's business or buying fancy things for themselves. Those below them scorned them for doing the same as they tried to "reach higher." This didn't sit well with the tiny rogue, nor did the fact that her family wasn't allowed to reach out to certain healers for her often sickly little sister because of their station. She determined then that they deserved better from the world and that she would spend her entire life getting it for them, no matter the personal cost. Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: At fourteen, Amelia was hired to steal something from a lesser noble. The man woke when she was trying to escape his home and was able to keep up with her as she tore through the streets. Not knowing she was a child, he drew a dagger and drove it into the back of her right arm when she tried to scramble up to a roof. Although she escaped without him finding out who she was (and with her prize), she couldn't go to a healer and have them tell her parents about her state, so she tried to Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: She's not one to believe in lingering on the past, so pretty much any failure that comes up in conversation would be embarrassing. Biggest role model: Her parents Why? They're each strong people in their own right and shaped her in different ways. She admires her mother's constant kindness despite harsh realities and her father's pragmatic sense of the world. Biggest challenge from childhood: The self set challenge to make her family noble.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 5' 7" (5' 10" in her everyday boots) Weight: 140 lbs Posture: Tall, proud Build: Lean and muscular Skin: Light to medium, depending on the time of year and how much time she can spend outside Hair: Dark brown, reaching almost to her waist. However, her hair is almost always braided into two plaits and pinned up with her (in)famous dark silver hair pin, hiding how long it is. Eyes: Hazel Describe their smile: Tattoos/Scars? No tattoos, but many scars. In order of when they were received (and age received): Back of right arm - garish, 2-inch long, very rough and ugly (14) Twin scars on left thigh - 2 inches long, one on the front of her thigh and a matching one on the back. Thin and slightly raised skin by this point. (20) Puncture scar in right abdomen - 1.5 inches long, wide, slightly raised scar that's mostly faded (21) Small, slash-like scars on forearms (dozens of various sizes, all faint and thin, received 14 to present) Glasses/Contacts? (none) Left/Right handed? Right Distinguishing features: She tries to blend in where she can, but Amelia's still a very beautiful woman by classical standards. It's hard to miss her when she dresses up. (Or when she gets angry and starts yelling at the top of her lungs.) Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Father in most ways, but she has her mother's natural grace and beauty. Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Plain / Practical, with subtle hints of elegance How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Long-sleeved shirt (with a very modest neckline) and pants with embroidery down the outside seams, leather underbust corset, knee-high leather boots, and belts covered in pouches and (quite often) weapons (usually only daggers and her slighshot these days, but she does break out her rapier and gauche occasionally). Everything she wears is made of the finest materials, most often in earth tones of rich browns and greens, so that even though she still dresses like a merchant, every piece of clothing is too expensive for that socioeconomic status. Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: Simple, full length, long-sleeved gowns that cover most of her skin from neck to toes (like this). And, on very rare occasions, she'll break out a really fancy gown or (gasp!) 21st Century Earth fashions (she does love jeans, even if she rarely wears them!). Jewelry: A single, thin silver band on her left index finger. Other accessories: Dark silver hairpin covered in delicate flowers and with several strands of polished flowers and beads hanging from it, all made of an unfamiliar metal (secret: it's made of metal from a meteor that fell on Amelia's hometown). Weapons: Rapier, gauche, two dozen daggers, slingshot (and hairpin, if necessary) Health: Excellent, if a little malnourished when she gets into hardcore research mode Hygiene: Excellent (she's a lady and has high standards) Physical Flaws: Poor eating habits when she's stressed/distracted Physical Qualities: Tall, lean, and lithe. A natural beauty, surprisingly strong given her frame, and extremely flexible.
