PERSONAL
Aspirations/Ambitions: Becoming witch-paired Captain, climbing the ranks in the military
Alignment: Neutral
Reputation: Calm - collected - mysterious - flirty - versatile
The first thing most people in the military learn about her, is that she's Vesper's younger sister. She often gets associated with her, but over the course of the years, Amelia has managed to become her own person. She has been collecting titles (such as ranger and witch-paired soldier) and achievements (such as missions in enemy territory), which set her apart from Vesper's track record.
When they get to know her more, they'll find out that Amelia is calm and collected. On duty, she's focused and comes across a little cold because she doesn't have time for small talk. The job always comes first. Off duty, she's fun and outgoing. She likes to be approached more than to approach someone, but when out drinking or having dinner, she's talkative and kind. Behind the cold and somewhat dark exterior lies a warm heart. Yet, she won't talk about herself much. She likes to remain somewhat of a mystery.
She's very versatile and adaptable. She can adapt easily to the social circle she's in. When she's out with fellow soldiers, she'll be a bit more laid back and relaxed, and she might drink a little more and a little faster. When she's with other nobles, she's polished, well-dressed, polite, etc. She will take small sips of the wine and take small bites, covering her mouth with her hand if the bite is hot or a little too big to chew properly. Her years in the military and the military uniform hasn't made her forget about manners and how to move when wearing a dress. She's somewhat of a prime example of combining two worlds. Amelia the noblewoman and Amelia the soldier are two totally different people, look-wise.
When she feels pretty, she's flirty. This was the case before she married her husband, but even after. While it was unconventional, they decided to open up their marriage a year or two after they got married. They tend to only see a select few other people, because they don't want word to get around that they sleep with others (AKA this arrangement is not common knowledge), but so far they've been loving their arrangement. Or at least, she has. Philippe isn't too happy about the agreement, but goes along with it because it makes her happy. Amelia is bisexual, so this arrangement has helped her a lot. Homosexuality isn't accepted in Nevermere, but her marriage makes it easier to hide her bisexuality. It's easier to find a woman to sleep with when you don't have to worry about people wondering why you're single.
Combat Experience: Apart from mandatory training, Amelia trained with her siblings, especially with Vesper, to better her skills. During military training she got taught all the basics that a soldier needs to know. After mandatory training, Amelia stayed in the military and continued to better herself. She trained with swords, maces, daggers and (cross)bows.
Lastly, she's also a skilled witch.
MAGIC
Witch magic — Amelia mostly focuses on cursus and summons. Her second best ability is incantations, and thirdly potions. Potions are something she isn't well versed in. She doesn't want to spend time on finding ingredients and mixing them up into potions. She much more prefers powers that come from within, like curses, summons and incantations.
HISTORY
Parents - Francois Delvaux & Lorelai Delvaux
Older siblings (2) - Vesper Delvaux & one more
Husband - Philippe Irving
Paired soldier/werewolf - Philippe Irving
Tale:
Amelia is the youngest sibling in the Delvaux family, born in 795. Her oldest sister, Vesper, is eight years her senior. Their parents were never very actively present, which caused Vesper and their nanny to have to take care of Amelia and her second-oldest sibling. Vesper wasn't the ideal 'mother', and mostly just made sure she and her sibling received the bare minimum, like being clothed and fed, but Amelia is still extremely grateful for it. She knows she wouldn't be where she is today without Vesper.
She is too young to remember the Rainecourts taking over, but because she admired her sister so, Vesper's eagerness to join the military and serve the Rainecourts rubbed off on her. She too was eager to participate in the mandatory training, with all intentions of staying in the military after she had finished the mandatory part of it. And that was exactly what she did.
Amelia did well in the military. From the age of 18 til 26, she was a regular soldier. By that age, her superiors saw that she had certain skills that would make her a good witch-paired soldier. It was then that she was paired with Philippe Irving . A year later, she married him. Amelia had always been a flirty woman, but Philippe was different. He gave her everything she wanted and more. She genuinely fell in love with him, and their families allowed them to marry. They never got around to making children, since they were both focused on their military jobs.
It brought her to other kingdoms a few times, and got her into tricky situations, but so far she has always been able to come back without losing her life. At 31, these additional credentials also made her worthy of becoming a lieutenant. Now she has a promising future ahead of her.
