Amelia the Drake

Mini Bio
Amelia's life began in a time of turmoil in her land. Drakes had moved into the nation and no militia could oust them. Their king was considering mustering an army to force the drakes from the realm. Amelia was born to a human mother and a drake father, and she was immediately branded as a sub-human freak. She grew up afraid of being dragged out of her home and killed, until her teen years, when her father's natural magic began to show itself. After a few years of practicing to mastery, Amelia no longer feared for her life around anybody or anything. She was proud of her mixed lineage and who it made her. She found her home among other outcasts in the desert city of Spaal, where she based her adventures out of. She's lived in Spaal for nine years, until the fantasy setting's present day.

Childhood in Fear
Amelia's life between the ages of fourteen and newborn baby was a sea of paranoia and fear, dotted with brief moments of happiness with her loving mother. Her community viewed her as a freak of nature, and she was excluded from all things social. She had no formal schooling, made no friends, and only learned to read because of her father's library on Archdrake Peak. She always felt alone there, but it was usually better than staying at home in her village. It was just her and her father there. When the drakes were driven from the land, her father was attacked and killed by a band of crusaders. Amelia was devastated, and she stayed at Archdrake Peak alone until her formative years.

Teenage Years
During puberty, Amelia began to develop the natural magicks of the drakes. She found herself regularly lighting a book on fire by accident, slamming face-first into walls because she moved too quickly, and putting holes in the solid stone walls of her late father's home because she didn't know her own strength. Her emotions also developed more fully, and she gained a tendency to enter fits of lonesome, guilty rage. Eventually, the fortress lay in uninhabitable ruin, because of Amelia's uncontrolled fury. She left for the deserts to the south and found herself a life mentor, who helped her to find herself and become a more stable person. Amelia moved into her mentor's home in the city of Spaal, where she never moved away from.

Adult Years
Amelia celebrated her coming of age with her mentor and two dearest friends, sampling Spaal's fine wines and heady grog. She had the night of her life and drunkenly admitted that she was in love with Gala, one of her good friends. They struck up a relationship and were married a year after. They tried to move out of the city and into isolation together, but failed - Gala was mauled by a bear, and she succumbed to her injuries under the care of a local cleric. Though Gala was someone Amelia had given her life to, Amelia was a bigger person than when she lost her father - she grieved for some time, but she kept herself, and with the support of her mentor and her only friend, she made it through unscathed. She is yet to have found another partner, and she suspects she may never find someone she could love as much as Gala.

Conscious Oddity
She shares a psychic link with Amanda Baker, whose life she accesses during sleep. She believes these visions are just dreams of a bizarre extraordinary reality. Occasionally, experiences bleed between them - Amanda may learn how to hunt with a spear, while Amelia may learn how to use a PDA. They both go by Amy. On very, very rare occasion, one may experience an injury of the other at the same time it happened in the other's life. It is unknown whether Amanda will die at the exact same age as Amelia, and vice versa.
