AMELIA LEITE ; 22.
contestant i'm scared to death if i let you in that, you'll see i'm just a fake ( sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch ; but I know that's just me ‘cause nothing ever is enough ) there was something in the water, now that something's in me — can't go back to the river, but it's in my roots, in my veins, in my blood and i stain every heart that i use to heal the pain
“i’m telling you – - i have the next best business idea… a restaurant that just sells bowls of rice with a variety of sauces for ninety-nine cents. genius, right?”
“ definitely – - affordable. ” that was the MOST amelia would allow herself, a crinkle already wriggling itself into the base of her nose. it wasn’t exactly what she’d term genius, when there were food stalls run by locals who’d figured that out ages ago. not exactly the new testament here. “ seriously doubt that anyone outside of the hills would get on board with it though. ”
amelia was accustomed to traveling ; after all, she did move nearly every season between chicago, new york, austin, and any of the other various cities her company was contracted to. what she couldn’t get used to, apparently, was the jet lag that came with long distance. days into their stay on the island, and she was still stumbling down to the lobby straight out of her good night’s sleep — her morning everyone else’s afternoon. today - tonight - whatever it was, however, she was determined to change that. the resort offered a whole menu of activities for its guests ; at least ONE of them would knock her out after and maybe snap her sleeping schedule to where it should be.
browsing a brochure as she paced the lobby, dodging other couples still checking in and sending her dirty looks, amelia eventually stopped to tap someone on the shoulder. “ have you tried any of these out yet? ” turning the brochure over for them to glance at, she freed a hand to indicate down at the entire CACOPHONY of choices. “ i’m looking for something they’ll be offering tonight. preferably something . . . thorough. physically, ” she amended — that description should help to narrow down their suggestions.
“let me just tell you.. it’s never a good idea to carry your suitcase up the stairs if you’re a naturally clusmy person like i am.. it was definitely not my best idea. now i have to pick up all the things that fell out and i have an ankle that hurts like hell. but i’m still excited to be here, just the view is enough to make me forget about my shitty start here.”
“ if it makes you feel any better, i think you can blame the construction of the suitcase for that first one. ” kneeling down, amelia indicated at the side of the case as she helped toss the other girl’s things back in. “ see — ? zipper’s off its track. ” basic design flaw ; one that she’d seen about a hundred times from the costume department. “ i don’t think you can save yourself the ankle though. you sure you’re gonna make it to your room okay? ”

♦ - AMELIA LEITE’s application came in today. the TWENTY-TWO year old WILLA FITZGERALD lookalike will be stepping into this adventure alongside their BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND, CEDRIC FORST ( cole sprouse )/ANY FC. apparently, SHE is PERCEPTIVE & DRIVEN, but also ARTIFICIAL & UNORIGINAL. their biggest weakness is PRAISE & HIDDEN DEPTHS. i’m sure the seducers will gladly make use of this information.
FAMILY BACKGROUND !!
PARENTS: emma & will leite
SIBLINGS: carter ( younger brother )
PETS: jas ( terrier / mutt )
amelia had a p idyllic upbringing for midwest usa: two parents ( still married ), a younger sibling, a dog, living in a cute suburban house in a good school district. her parents were the lucky ones, a successful street artist and local actor respectively, and her brother looks like he’s going to become the next lin manuel miranda or something, already acting as a student director at his middle school
the creative gene just kind of skipped over amelia, and even tho her parents were always like “ it doesn’t matter sweetie !! we’ll always love you just the way you are !!! ” and actually do probably mean it she still always felt out of place in her own home w/ all these creative geniuses
so she started to develop this kind of facade she’d show to the rest of the world of being highly successful in technical theatre — and keeps from her family where that success lies
her iffy feelings about her family haven’t really gotten better since they’ve been so happy for her creative success and amelia doesn’t want to break out of this part she’s played just to break their hearts
PERSONALITY !!
NEGATIVE: ARTIFICIAL & UNORIGINAL ; amelia’s lived practically her whole life as a lie to keep everyone else happy. she’s deeply insecure about her own faults, and has built up very strong walls to keep everyone unaware of them. unfortunately, that’s made her very dishonest and has kind of put every relationship she’s ever built on a foundation of lies whoops. she’s also very quick to correct people ( know-it-all, tch ), but doesn’t like to be corrected herself
POSITIVE: PERCEPTIVE & DRIVEN ; what she doesn’t realize about herself is that all this energy she’s put into this fake persona has actually created a stellar work ethic in her. amelia’s always working on some project, actually gets an itch in her skin if she isn’t. & she’s gotten very perceptive in noticing dishonesty in others since she’s an expert in it herself
i mean it’s a little misc but she’s definitely a slytherin
amelia might suck at creativity, but she’s awesome at maths and spacial reasoning and has funneled that into her chosen career path
EDUCATION / CAREER !!
LEVEL OF EDUCATION: b. f. a. in theatre design & technology
CAREER: assistant set designer for an independent theatre company
amelia ( along w/ carter, currently ) attended a co-ed private school where her parents funneled money into the arts programme, and there can be hella connections for this !!
she raced through her degree track in college and graduated a semester early, finding a job w/ an independent theatre company as their assistant set designer
she’s not making a tonne of money, but she gets to use her skills and has someone else over her taking charge of the creative aspects so she’s p okay
because of her job, she works anywhere her company does so has traveled across the u. s. of a to various theatre scenes
MISCELLANEOUS !!
one weakness of amelia’s is that she’s always felt like she’s never been good enough, particularly for cedric & how much he values intelligence. since her family valued creative intelligence, amelia’s always placed an emphasis on it and judged her own smarts on that scale and does feel too inferior for him
loves strawberry flavoured anything
idk prob some more but maaaaaaaaaan i’m out of it i got like 4 hrs of sleep last night because my body hates me. i’ll prob come back and add some more to this when i think of it
