Character Information
Known History
Amelia was embraced in the early 1950's in England. She was a quick study and her sire, Tyra, was influential enough to pull strings and get her acknowledged after a year of accounting. In 2002 she moved out of a house that her sire owned and to Stockton California.
Since the original move to California Amelia has remained on the West Coast outside of a few visits to England and Italy. She has resided in the domains of Stockton, Sacramento and Amador and has served in each of the cities in various positions. The last position she held was Senschal to Prince Hailey Kincaid of Sacramento, a position that ended when Prince Kincaid died while on a visit to Stockton.
Until 2008 Amelia had been a consistent figure in the courts of the California valley. Outside of positions she was often part of the planning or implementation of battles against the cities enemies and has fought in battles that held the survival of the city at stake in Stockton, Sacramento and Amador. She earnestly defends her right to participate in even the most dangerous conflicts. She has been particularly involved in any fights against demons which each of the domains have dealt with.
At one point Amelia was part of a plot by Prince Blaze of Stockton to uncover a plot by elders in the city, as part of this all of her standing was removed, including acknowledged. A week later all status minus one was returned.
For the last few years she has been more of a recluse. She seldom attends court and few people are in consistent contact with her.

Character Inspirations
A few cups history, a tablespoon Annie, a splash of real life (yay! eye color), a generous helping of music, out of character curiosity, a dash of Marylin and a sprinkling of Eddie Izzard. Plus a whole lot of good role play and moving story lines with other players!

Quotes
- Amelia "I don't keep a calendar based off your sex life Angel"
- Angel- "If you did it would be rather empty"
- I have good close friends... and they help. But they tend to die
- If I could have one wish it would be that my family be put under a geas to not take praxis of Amador ever again!
- "If you get yourself killed I am going to have to make a deal with a necromancer to bring you back to life so I can kill you again!" In multiple variations at different times to Gray and Sebastian.
- Nos Sabbat Elder in San Fransico appears, Amelia promptly pops majesty
- Nos Elder: I am here, because I want my Pretty back..
- Amelia drops out of majesty, tries to look inconspicuous
- Nos Elder: I am here, because I want my Pretty back..
- "Nothing draws men faster than a woman who says, "You don't want to get close to me." Are you that type of man? Because you really don't want to get close to me."
- So I should do what you ask because you used a nice tone instead of demanding or threatening me?
- Sometimes I think... that my caring is a double edged sword of sorts... only opposite. When I cut myself, when I let someone into my heart... somehow they get cut as well...
- text message to Prince Book: "If I ruin these you owe me another pair of fishnets!"
- this body? It's a series of good circumstances. My mother's and Liam's genetic DNA, the fact that I was embraced young and toreador before any physical trauma occurred in my life. The ability to heal from damage inflicted in fights. It isn't anything I have earned... It's ... illusion. I like the illusion, I wouldn't change it, but its no less a mask because it is the skin I wake up in.
- trouble is brewing here, I feel like I am an island in a sea storm of choas and I don't know when or if it will hit me directly.
