Personality: Amelia is whip-smart, judging by her degree in physics. She doesn't lord it over people, but she picks things up really quickly. Her intelligence only makes her feel more stupid for falling for Greg's lies.
Most of the time, at least nowadays, Amelia is happy and light-hearted. She likes to have fun and laugh and if you quote Doctor Who to her, she will love you forever (and discuss the science of it). She loves her family with all of her heart.
There is a melancholy in Amelia, however, which is hardly surprising. Sometimes the past creeps in and her son goes to stay with her parents for a few days because she needs time to just be. She knows she'll always come out of it though, and that's a damn lot better than she used to be. She considers herself strong as fuck, and bitch she might be.
History: Amelia lived a pretty normal life in the beginning. Only child to two loving parents who would do anything for her. Happy upbringing with friends and extended family. A school where she was accepted and thrived. She was pretty much on a fast track to success.
When she finished her A-Levels, she ended up going to the University of York and that's where (two years in) she met 'Gary', who was really Gregor Jankovic which a really bad fake name. She felt herself oddly attracted to Gary and started spending more time with him than on her studies. Somehow, and she will never understand this, he convinced her to leave school and run away with him.
With that began the worst four months of her life. Gary was possessive and horrible and in the end he wouldn't even let Amelia speak to her family. Two months in, she discovered he was using a fake name and was wanted by the police. Amelia had had enough, and she intended to leave and call the police on him. Instead of letting her go, Gary kept her locked up in a back room, refusing to let her out. She spent two months there before he made a mistake and she was able to flee her prison.
Greg had disappeared by the time the police arrived at the flat, and Amelia was rushed to hospital to treat her wounds. She ended up being stuck there for seven months, though part of that was because she had fallen pregnant and her body was weak. She needed to be on bed rest until the baby was born.
As much as Amelia hated Greg, she decided she wanted to keep the baby and when her son was born, she fell in love with him. She moved back to London to live with her parents so they could help raise little Timothy. She finally went back to University, studying at LU and receiving a degree in physics.
These days life is pretty quiet. She works from home, editing text books and raising her son (who is now 4). She fosters both dogs and cats. She attends therapy and even helps run a women's group. She's doing pretty well.
