( 12 / muse 34 / cisfemale & she/her ) contrary to what the campers might tell you, thatâs not olivia holt. thatâs amelia clark! this is their 6th year working here and theyâre a counselor. theyâre 23, and i just found out during ice breakers theyâre a virgo. at first they might seem pretty reserved, but theyâre actually really compassionate. when they have down time, you can usually catch them baking treats for their friends. try to get to know them for yourself this summer!
background.
amelia was seven years old when her mother kicked her father out of their house for cheating on her and getting his mistress pregnant. though her sister, shayna, harbors resentment towards her mother for leaving their dad, amelia was old enough to remember his late nights at the âoffice,â broken promises, and missed recitals. her parents tried to keep their fighting away from amelia and shay, but ameliaâs room was next to theirs and the walls were thin. for amelia, it was a no-brainer to side with her mother during and after the divorce.
amelia and shayna were raised by their mother, though âraisedâ is a term best used loosely. though she tried her hardest to make sure her daughters had everything they needed, what they really needed was a mother who paid any attention to them. as such, amelia tried to be there for her little sister as much as possible, and from a young age took on the self-imposed role of âmother henâ that spread to nearly all of her relationships. still, amelia and shay often fought about the circumstances surrounding their parentsâ divorce, amelia not having the heart to tell shay just how bad the situation was, and break her image of their father. though they arenât as close as they once were (and hadnât been for a while), amelia still loves and misses her sister, and wants to rebuild a close relationship with her so much so, that she turned down an internship in order to work at camp this summer because she knew shay was going to be here.Â
perhaps it was because she was the oldest, or simply the only one who would talk to her, ameliaâs mother treated her like a best friend rather than a daughter - if your best friend served only to shoulder you with their burdens and force you to fix their problems for them. as a result, amelia has felt as if her problems (which let me tell you, she has a lot of) are not as important as the problems of others. amelia is very much the type to try to solve everyoneâs problems and completely ignore her own. which is. a bad habit.Â
it also gave way to amelia concealing a lot of secrets from her family, and her friends. from a bad grade, to her struggle with and acceptance of her sexuality, to the professor she had an affair with her junior year of college, amelia traversed it all herself.Â
on a lighter note, amelia worked very hard in high school and got into a prestigious college on a scholarship. she majored in hospitality with the end goal of owning her own bakery. her biggest dream is to have a simple suburban family, and be the mother she never had.Â
tidbits.
amelia is very type a to the point where itâs lowkey a problem. sheâs a super perfectionist and is VERY hard on herself when she thinks sheâs failed.Â
stress bakes, happy bakes, sad bakes, stoned bakes, etc.Â
bisexual!!!!!!!!!!! and comfortable with it!
mommy issues AND daddy issues, sheâs got âem all!
abandonment issues.
water heater issues (she rly needs to call maintenance)Â
loves the color yellow
has been in a series of disastrous relationships. sad for her.
connections.
best friend - someone amelia trusts and loves and would kill for (or at least yell at someone for). sheâs been going to camp for years, i think itâd be cute for her to have a bff and just a pure, sweet relationship. alternatively, she could also have a bff that isnât pure, and is instead messy. all good options.
friends - sheâs very friendly!!! literally doesnât have a mean bone in her body, cares more about others than she does herself! be her friend!
confidant - amelia doesnât open up to people very easily - maybe itâs easier for her to have an intimate relationship with someone she barely knows? idk she needs someone who knows her secrets and knows when sheâs pushing/punishing herself too hard.
hookup - self explanatory, amelia has needs too.
ex - did this end on good terms? bad terms?Â
flirty relationship - this could be for bants, it could be something they do but wonât act on for whatever reason (amelia has been a homewrecker before and is not afraid to do it again - jk sheâs very afraid but will still do it - emotions control her)
literally anything! a n y t h i n g
