This includes weapons, vehicles, tools, and other objects. However, she cannot draw anything that would have a soul; a person, an animal, mythical creature, etc. Right now she is very limited to smaller objects and she is currently unable to rescale items as she brings them to life [b]Background[/b]: Amalia’s mother, Giselle, was born and raised in the Philippines before moving to the states to pursue a degree in fashion at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology. While in the states she met Amalia’s father, but once she found out she was pregnant she dropped out of college and went back home to the Philippines to raise her. Giselle never told her former love about Amalia as she was ashamed of herself for conceiving a child out of wedlock. Giselle still pursued her love of fashion in the Philippines and loved making clothes for her little girl. The two were inseparable and Amalia learned everything from her mom. As a birthday present when she was 10 years old her mother got Amalia her very first sewing machine, she had saved up to purchase it herself with no help from her family. Amalia started sewing clothes for her dolls and as she grew older she started making clothes for herself, her family, and her friends. All seemed well in Amalia’s life. They did not have a lot of money, but she had a lot of family and happiness. She lived with her grandparents and went to school with her cousins, making clothes after school and hosting her own fashion shows. She also learned how to cook and bake from her grandmother. Amalia didn’t know anything different then the four walls she was raised in but she couldn’t have asked for anything better. Around the age of 16, Giselle was offered a job in New York at a fashion magazine after one of her latest fashion lines went viral. Giselle was hesitant to accept, she didn’t want to uproot her daughter and was afraid to run across Amalia’s father, but decided she needed to chase her dreams. So the two packed their bags and moved to New York. New York was very different from her home. Amalia didn’t know anyone, had no family, the streets were busy, and her mother was too busy for her. The two moved into a rough neighborhood and found themselves on the wrong side of a gun more than once. Amalia’s first friend at her new school was a boy she ended up dating. He became abusive quickly into their relationship. She stuck with him though, as she didn’t know anything different. When Amalia graduated high school she wanted to get away from it all. She couldn’t take the streets, her apartment, or her mother who had changed over time into someone selfish. She didn’t bake anymore or care about Amalia’s fashion. Giselle had become too busy chasing her dreams she would have achieved had Amalia never been born. Amalia’s boyfriend also became too much to handle after graduation and her mother neglected to ever notice the black eye or the bruises on her arm. Amalia had applied to the Academy of Art University all the way in San Francisco, California. Even though she loved the schools and fashion in New York City, she simply had to get as far away as she could get from her life in New York. Amalia packed her bags, moved to California, got any part time job that would accept her, and started a new life there. Bitterness grew in her heart towards her mother and she longed to one day have a happy life like she had before. Amalia graduated from the Academy of Art University at 22 and continued to work as a waitress while pursuing her dream of fashion. When the energy storm passed over Amalia was hospitalized, she almost called her mother to rekindle after their falling out as she was worried she was going to die in the hospital bed, but she made it through. (Unbeknownst to her, Giselle had died in the energy storm) After the hospital trip a strange power seemed to course her veins. One night after finishing sketching one of her new designs, the corner of the dress suddenly came off the page as real fabric. [/hider]
