All steps finished! Introducing my OC Ms. Amelia Wood! :]
(Long description, sorry)
If there were to be a character closest to resemble Amelia’s personality as a child, that would be Hermione Granger! –well, more like if Hermione had a distaste for the kids around her surroundings, and TRULY could not stand her mother.
Amelia starts off as a morally grey character at the beginning of step 1, Someone who took moving away more hard than her mommy could have expected, which atlas results to her lashing out on any kid who tries to get too close. Amelia has lost all her previous friends from San Francisco, and refuses to make any new ones until they move back. Being a 10-year-old girl proves to be an obstacle as she has no phone or ways to communicate with them. Her mommy lets her facetime them from time to time, but as the months pass by, the calls came less and less. Safe to say, Amelia had always blamed mommy for their departure, even more so as mommy doesn’t spend much time with her as she used to.
Amelia was never intending to become friends with Qiu nor Tamarack. She found Qiu as nothing else but nosy and smug, and Tamarack as a giant troublemaker. Though Amelia can show obvious annoyance towards kids her age, she always acts well-mannered to the adults as thats what “proper ladies” are supposed to do. She hates messes, and hates anyone who breaks the rules. Amelia is very big on her studies, not because she feels obligated to, but because she enjoys coming in on #1 place. She is very competitive when it comes to clubs, marks, and class. She loves the satisfaction of being able to feel superior than everyone, being the intellectual child in school.
Amelia can be considered a bossy girl, total know-it-all, and very mean in general. She would be the type to stick her tongue out at other kids, roll her eyes, and be very blunt. Previously, she used to be this way towards Qiu and Tamarack, but for some reason, they never seem to deter from her, in-fact, they kept on persisting her. Never moving away.
Amelia eventually became best friends with Tamarack, Tamarack proving to be someone who was always there to stand by her side, spend time with her, and defend her, even when she didn’t ask for it. Amelia grew a strong sense of protection for Tamarack, and a feeling of regret after treating her the way she did. They grew a sisterly bond between the two that would never diminish.
As for Qiu, though Amelia refused to admit it to herself throughout all of step 1, she had a secret crush on him. Ever since she fell at the park, Qiu coming to her aid, and that look in his eyes, in that moment, Amelia had never felt this way towards anyone. Her crush though, was never once spoken of or known as she didn’t want to feel this way towards such a knucklehead. She disliked that part of herself, so she would intentionally try to separate herself from Qiu.
Eventually step 2 came around, Amelia was now 14 years old. She had matured into a more proper and reserved young girl. (though still a bit uptight sometimes) A total 180 of her former-self. Unfortunately, though things fade away with time, Amelia’s reputation didn’t. She was still known for the mean and dreadful person she was all those years ago, making her an outcast of the school.
Amelia came to grow insecure, desperate to remove herself from her past self but still coming to no avail. She is still friends with Tamarack and Qiu, though she couldn’t miss a sad gleam in both of their eyes. One she used to have back then of a clear change.
Her closeness with Tamarack remained the same, though that couldn’t be said for Qiu. Amelia had never once lost the feelings she had for them. Though they were still friends, they barely talked to each other anymore. Amelia made no plans to ever express her affections for Qiu, not because she was scared about how they would react, but because she believed to herself that her chances were already gone after the way she treated them. In the end, all Amelia can do is be defensive towards Qiu, trying to mask her fear of rejection, as she helplessly watches Golden Grove’s most beloved person be swept away by the crowds and from her grasp.
That is all for step 2 as i don’t know much about what will happen. (same for step 3) Amelia will get redeemed though. :)
