Amelia Baker

[Amelia Baker]

Amelia Loraine Baker
FACE CLAIM: Abigail Spencer
---------------------------------

AGE: 34
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
POSITION: Bellefonte business teacher and part-time trainer

POWER: Enhanced Memory
Amelie can remember things, and remember them well. She remembers things that has happened in her life and she easily remembers the information that is fed to her. Her brain handles memories with a greater efficiency than most others, which makes it easier for her to remember smaller details and remembers them for longer than most people would.  For example, if she reads a book or listens to a song, she'll without problem be able to remember the text perfectly. Although, certain experiences and memories are easier to remember if they have a larger impact on her than other things. It takes her less effort to recall information, and it doesn't take her a lot of focus or strain to remember it either. Her memory is in no way perfect, but simply better. She can still forget things.

LIMITATIONS:

• Again, her memory isn't perfect. She is still able to forget thins. Memories that have a greater impact usually are easier to remember and last longer than those memories that matter less. On the other hand, it makes certain things hard to forget. She cannot simply decide that she wants to forget a detail, and then it'll poof. She cannot choose what to remember and what not to.
• She can still remember certain details such as sight, smell, touch and sounds, but senses like smell, sound and touch are the easiest to forget. She usually remembers what she's seen the most.
• She cannot turn this ability off or on. It's constantly on - which naturally means that she has to deal with constant side-effects.

SIDE-EFFECTS:

• Headaches - often. Sometimes they develop into migraines, and with the migraines comes nausea, nosebleeds and stress, along with pain.
• Memories that usually make people curl up in embarrassment or pain - well, try remembering every single detail of those. That's what Amelia can do. This makes her stressed, restless and moody.
• Forcing herself to remember things usually put a lot of strain on her mind and body. This usually makes the headaches appear much more intense. She cannot pick what she remembers and what she can forget, but forcefully trying to remember something is hard. This can cause fatigue and passing out, and can end in brain damage.

HEIGHT: 5'5"
HAIR COLOR: Dark brown
EYE COLOR: Brown

MISC: Amelia has a slim body build and weighs roughly around 115lbs. She usually keeps her hair styled, either hanging loose around her shoulders, or in and up-do. She wears glasses while reading and sometimes when she teaches. She tends to go for a more formal, classy look, meaning that she often wears skirts, blouses and high heels, or dresses as opposed to something a lot more casual. She's been taught that first impressions means a lot, which naturally means that people judge you according to how you dress and act, which appears in everything she does and the way she dresses.


PERSONALITY: Amelia is a tough nut to crack. More often than not, she appears as charming and maybe even flirty. Unless she has a reason not to, of course. She takes her job, life and everything she does extremely seriously, and has a low tolerance for bullshit. She expects quite a lot from the people around her and doesn't easily give people second chances. She's known to be quite tough to have as a teacher, since she expects any of her students to take school and assignments as serious as they possibly can. She doesn't allow drama or disturbances in her classrooms and has under several occasions told people to leave the classroom or even straight up told them they're not cut out for a business major.

Despite being charming and appearing outgoing, Amelia is extremely guarded and secretive about her personal life. She firmly believes that business and her personal life are two completely different things and that the two should never be mixed together. She's somewhat less strict and formal while at home or outside her place of work, although she has certain routines she always follows - to point.

She enjoys working out and keeping her body and mind healthy. Even so, she also enjoys having fun - in her own way. She enjoys being around people, but her guarded personality ensues that she also enjoys her own company more than shared ones. Amelia is extremely ambitious and rarely cares about who she has to step on to get what she wants. Her career comes before anything in her life and she's sworn of children, boyfriends and marriage altogether and claims that she's more than content with a life where work comes first, rather than a family.

Amelia is extremely competitive and absolutely hates losing. She tends to be extremely arrogant. Especially if she thinks she's better than others - which happens more often than not. She's an overachiever that always tries to outdo herself under any circumstance.

SECRET(S): Amelia is rather fond of good, expensive alcohol. She drinks a lot more of it than what she'd like to admit. It's her way of relieving stress, but in turn, it rarely ends only with one glass of it.


FATHER: Michael Baker
MOTHER: Simone Baker
SIBLINGS: N/A
WORTHY MENTIONS: N/A

CHILDHOOD: Born and raised as an only child in Seattle, Washington, Amelia was trained from day one to behave like a proper citizen. Her parents were bigshot lawyers that expected quite a lot from their daughter - and naturally, she did everything she possibly could to make them proud. It rarely seemed to quite cut it though, which made Amelia into an overachiever from an early age. She was competitive and always tried to be better than the people around her - as well as integrating herself as the leader of whatever group of friends that she had.

Her parents put her into the finest private schools their money could buy and Amelia was expected to get the best of grades and never fool or play around like most children did. Even as a young child, she was treated as an adult. Most of the people she hung around were adults too, which caused her to become precocious. Most children either felt intimated by her, or didn't wish to deal with her bossy attitude. Even those who did, had to unfortunate experience of having to be around her when she didn't get her way, which was rarely a good thing.

ADOLESCENCE: This continued even as Amelia grew older. She became more and more into what her parents wanted her to be. She focused more on schoolwork than having a social life. Even as she manifested at eleven, nothing seemed to be able to throw her off her destined course. Manifesting hardly came as a shock. Instead, it was rather expected, considering how both her parents came from long line of mutants. Her parents immediately contacted Bellefonte - the very same school her family went to, and a week later, Amelia was all packed and ready to leave.

Her life at Bellefonte didn't change overly much. As before, she focused on her schoolwork, along with having something of a social life. Again, she integrated herself into the hierarchy of the school, quickly becoming rather well-known and popular, which she naturally used to her own gain.

Life continued like this - she was being kept under strict watch by her parents, who weekly got notes and information about her progress. She became more driven as she grew older, and quickly found an interest for business. She didn't follow in the footsteps of her parents, deciding that she'd much rather make a name for herself her own way, than taking the easy route of taking over her parents name.

She didn't have much time for relationships, and any affectionate encounters were usually brief and casual, as opposed to something deeper and more meaningful.

ADULTHOOD: When Amelia graduated, she left Bellefonte to study business at one of the bigger colleges. As before, her main focus was her grades and future career within the field. After college, she spent a few years working within the business field and working her way up the ranks. She spent the time here getting new experiences out in the field, rather than on the school bench. 

As the years passed and several interns came and went, Amelia realized that she enjoyed teaching the younger generations and decided to take up a teaching degree in business. She studied this while working, which pretty much sucked up all the spare time she had for anything else. And naturally, she enjoyed every moment of filling her life with work and new challenges.

Once she got her teaching degree, Amelia returned to Bellefonte and took up a position there as a business teacher, teaching mainly college students, although some of the high school students as well. After a few years, Amelia took a position as a part time trainer, simply out of curiosity, and this is what she's spent the last few years focusing on, although her teaching position takes up most of her focus and time.
