◾ Personality:
What the small folk know of Amelia is what she wants them to know. How kind she is, a true champion of the downtrodden or oppressed. It's far from her nature to hurt someone she believes to be innocent, or to refrain from helping someone in need. And her wit is without measure, so sharp is her tongue and quick is her mind, that she holds an honorary place as an advisor in her father's small council, much to the disdain of some of her father's less open minded banner men.
But the side Amelia keeps from others is dark and full of terrors. She may look out for others, but her number on priority is herself, and her happiness, no one elses. And to her, promises are wasted time. She has a habit of making them and breaking them as they please her, although she makes sure that when she breaks a promise, no one will be able to accuse her of it. She's a ruthless woman in truth, doing anything and everything to get to the top.

◾ Biography:
As a woman in a world run by men, Amelia was fighting from the moment she saw the light of day. Clawing for her own recognition. She was always a smart girl, and knew how to get her way. She'd sit nicely and politely, taking her lessons that father insisted on, and then she'd bat her eyes and wobble her bottom lip, and bring everything crashing down. Some might say that this early behavior has led to where she is now.
As she grew into a young woman, one that many girls envied and many men desired, she finally gained the recognition she believed she deserved. Her wise words and quick wit led her father to appoint her as an advisor in his council, an action that was met with forced smiles and insincere congratulations from the other council members. Never the less, she used this in to begin gaining recognition for the Gully's, helping to increase their power.
Two years since that day, and she's turned the Gully's into quite the significant power, or rather she's helped her father do so. Their navy is considerably stronger than it had been before, and the war on piracy is one that is being won, thanks to her advice. Many whisper that she is some sort of witch, for she seems to know every move her enemies will make. In truth, she just makes use of many informants, using secrets to her advantage. If she's lucky, she'll be able to use secrets to take the throne, and crown herself a queen.
