born and raised in the small and colourful town of salenta, colombia
ever since she was young, amelie had always shown an interest in dance. mainly in ballet. watching the girls in their leotards and flowy tutus, she knew that’s what she wanted for herself.
and so ballet was started, small classes of about six girls and an instructor because it was all the small town needed. her parents were happy to enroll her
her parents on the other hand, were alright. she didn’t have some sort of traumatic backstory that has shaped her into the person she is now, there just wasn’t... much warmth. it’s not that they didn’t love her, neither of them were just not very good at showing it. they had her very young and were never taught exactly how to be parents. but she loves them, dearly so. they’re her everything.
amelie excelled greatly at ballet. a gift her parents, nor even herself, knew about. it wasn’t hard to be the top of her class out of just six girls, but boy did she ever. ever since that, her and her family had decided that ‘hey. maybe there was something in this’ and so her practices became more and more intense. it began to take over her entire life. everything she did and breathed was ballet
aside from ballet, amelie picked up a few hobbies. the main one being origami. she loved it, and loved creating little creatures. she’d make them for her friends, for strangers, or she’d leave them around in public places so that somebody would find them and hopefully get a smile
it’s something she still does, leaving origami critters in the library and the courtyard. dropping a little origami owl down by somebody who’s studying with a kind smile
she’s also a total hopeless romantic. falling in love with every one that opened a door for her, or helped her pick her books up off the floor.
because of her excel in ballet, she actually ended up coming to holloway on a scholarship. she’s worked incredibly hard to be here, and while the m*rders are scaring the shit out of her, it’s not scaring her enough to flee the school. this was an opportunity she couldn’t bare to miss out on.
you can usually find her by the lake, working in her journal w pressed flowers or another little origami friend.
she also works as a lil waitress !
she’s got a little sister named lillian, and she’s amelie’s everything. she always checks up on her, and wishes her well. carries a photo of her in her wallet
can’t drive. is a stupid gay. takes the bus everywhere and feels like she’s in a coming of age teen movie
she’s very guarded, and a bit stubborn. she means well, honestly. would make a 10/10 friend. be her friend
because of the pressure of ballet that her parents pushed her, she’s become very domineering and everything usually has to be her way or the highway. not in a negative way, just that she needs to be Large and In Charge
anyway,,, uh. she’s still very much a new muse and this is all bare bones. i can’t want to flesh her out a bit more and get some more plots going !!! if u like this, i’ll come bombard your ims
what a night ! he couldn’t have phrased it any better himself . “ nuh - uh . i was too busy with my giant table of businessmen that kept trying to one - up each other on ordering . the entire table racked up a three hundred dollar check , and i was super excited for the tip on that thing … ” he pauses , fishing in the front pocket of his apron that he hadn’t taken off yet to reveal two measly bills . “ — six bucks . ” he shakes his head , shoving the money back into his pocket . “ i never mind , lee - lee . i wouldn’t let you walk home . ” he pauses , voice a little bit lower , “ especially now . i mean , that’s … that’s insane , right ? ”
⥽ amelie GASPS at the sight of the bills, her hand coming up to slap over her mouth to hold in her laughs. ❝ SIX bucks ?! my god, we should just E A T the rich; and yes, that includes your little girlfriend, aj. i know that video game of hers is racking up the big bucks — but she’s gotta go ! ❞ amelie chuckles again, shaking her head as she bumps her shoulder against aj’s. the playful and joking air between them gets sucked out pretty rapidly, replaced by a quiet silence as she follows him to his car. ❝ yeah, ❞ she whispers, thinking of charlotte at her door - step with bruises all over her face and a broken ankle. ❝ that’s one way to put it. ❞
“i am so sorry that i missed a few library dinners.” charlie said as she stood at the door of her friend’s dorm. it was maybe the first or second time she’d stepped out of her dorm since the attack – it was a good thing that they lived in the same building. “hopefully this will make up for it ?” she asked, holding up a big bag of takeout food she’d ordered on an app.
⥽ amelie gives her a warm smile, thankful to see the younger girl outside of her door. she would’ve gone and seen charlotte herself, but she was sure the sophomore was already being SWAMPED with visitors, so amelie would simply wait for the other to come around. ❝ this absolutely makes up for it; don’t worry. c’mon in, i just dolled up the couch — we can sit and eat and watch something. how’s the ankle ? ❞ mother hen instincts kick in IMMEDIATELY, helping charlotte into her room and shutting the door behind them.

⥽ shoving her apron into her bag, the ballerina SIGHS as she looks up at aj walking alongside her. ❝ what a NIGHT, huh ?? ❞ food industry was a nightmare, in her oh so humble opinion. ❝ did you see that lady that literally screamed at me because i brought them the wrong order ? ❞ locking the front doors to the establishment, she drops them into her bag. ❝ would you, uh... would you mind giving me a ride home, aj ? ❞ usually, amelie would just walk, but... she’s not so sure how she feels walking home ALONE after the events of the night before.
Sam was on his way back to his dorm from getting some food, completely lost in his thoughts when nearly ran into someone. He was quickly pulled out of his thoughts when he recognized Amelie as the girl who’d offered him an umbrella during a downpour once he was completely soaked a week ago. Despite the futility of it in the grand scheme of things, it was the thought that counted, and left a good impression on him of her as a person. He wished he had an umbrella now to shield him of all the curious stares he was getting today. “Hey,” he said, offering a small smile. “Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention,” he said, thankful that he didn’t crash into her.
⥽ to say she was WORRIED was an understatement. in fact, she had been thinking about it all day. every class she attended, the thought still loomed in the back of her mind. maybe... maybe she should go home ?? her parents had already expressed their worries and discomfort of amelie attending holloway, and tried to coax her back to the colourful town of salento. ❝ don’t even worry about it. ❞ she offers with a smile, watching him for a moment. she’s SURE sam doesn’t wanna talk about it ( i mean, she sure wouldn’t ) so she doesn’t ask. ❝ happens to the best of us. ❞
benny is more than just a little drunk as he stumbles across the uneven terrain, throwing one arm around the person that had the misfortune of walking by as the other held a death grip to an imported bottle of vodka. ❛ do you know what we should do ? ❜ he asked, eyes shining with mischief as he offered the other a smile. ❛ go skinny dipping. no no hear me out, the lake is like, just two minutes in that direction, it could be fun ! ❜
⥽ her face FLUSHES just at the thought alone, cheeks a rosy shade of red as she looks to the other hanging off of her shoulder for what seemed like dear life. she had no problem with holding him up, deeming herself as one of the designated sober people around here; just to make sure nobody died of alcohol poisoning. ❝ i don’t think i’ve ever skinny - dipped in my LIFE. ❞ amelie shakes her head, waving the thought away as she wraps an arm around benny’s waist. ❝ we should sit you down. ❞
“Will you be my plus one for beer pong?” Ethan proposed as he got on one knee and produced a ping pong ball as an offering, He hoped the flashy gesture just might get them to agree to a game… or two. “I guarantee we’ll win and I promise I’ll even drink your cups if they manage to get any points on us,” Ethan promised trying to sweeten the deal. He’d had a beer or two already but that only sharpened his beer pong ability and the table had been calling his competitive side all night.. “So what do you say?” Ethan asked still grinning up at them.
⥽ oh, the college experience. beer - pong in the woods, surrounded by equally as drunk other collge students; amelie couldn’t imagine herself ANYWHERE else, if she was honest. ❝ i am quite literally the W O R S T choice for beer pong; i don’t think i’ve ever even played it before ! ❞ she has a wide grin painted to her face, thinking the gesture of PROPOSING with the ping pong ball was pretty much already a selling point for her. ❝ alright, but don’t be mad when i absolutely tank us, cause i warned you ! ❞
each word that slips from the ballerina’s lips leaves winslet wanting more, the thrumming of her heart against her ribcage sounding louder than the drops of water colliding with the earth. the other’s theatrics are quick to reel the blonde’s attention, her eyes glinting with a joy so undecipherable, it would be a waste to try to emulate it into words. “my beautiful white knight— what would i do without you?” she is aware of their proximity, the way their shoulders brush ever so gently with each step that they take. she can’t help the way her cheeks grow warm with delight, lips fighting the urge to break into a smile. it would be a lie if winslet said she didn’t miss this, didn’t miss the way amelie looked at her— like she was actually worth something. “of course, i will! what are you in the mood for? are you going to the bonfire this weekend..?”
⥽ when winslet continues up her bit, amelie feels an immeasurable amount of JOY in her chest. even after the break - up, she was happy she could still call winslet a friend. even if something still lingered in the back of their minds for each other, that didn’t matter; nothing was ever awkward between them and that’s all amelie could ask for. ❝ why, you’d simply go m a d without me, wouldn’t you ?? ❞ she smiles as she bumps her shoulder against the blonde’s, taking a moment to consider what she wanted to eat. ❝ i think... i think i could go for pizza. like, just a really disgusting and greasy pizza. ❞ the types of food amelie wasn’t allowed growing up, and food that amelie still didn’t really eat despite being on her own now. she pauses as she considers winslet’s question; one that she had been asking HERSELF for a little while now. ❝ maybe, i’m not sure yet.. will you be going ? ❞ amelie tries not to sound EAGER when she asks in return; or prove how winslet’s answer may influence her own.
there was a time a couple of short years ago when isadora would’ve instantly felt her guard go up hearing a girl as pretty as amelie say something like that to her ; where the words ‘ it’s big enough for both of us ’ would’ve been an instant trigger to her, made her feel that the extension of such a kindness was just an opportunity to bully and other her. but she’d put a lot of work into moving past middle and high school traumas while reinventing herself on her college campus , they were all adults here , after all. & it felt like a small personal victory to her when instead of any of that , she smiled naturally at the other girl and stepped over to duck underneath it with her , huddling in a bit , unafraid to take up space when offered to join . “ thank you so much . the second i stepped out of the house this morning i thought ‘ shit, should’ve grabbed my umbrella ’. it’s super cute and everything it’s like , bright pink , and i always forget it . ” she rambled on a bit .
⥽ amelie listens INTENTLY, her full attention on the girl huddled under the umbrella with her. the ballerina was one to ramble herself if she was honest, but thankfully she usually had her friend around who knew when to turn her o f f button on. ❝ that honestly sounds adorable. you should show me sometime ! i know it’s that’s such a weird and minuscule thing to say, but i love umbrella’s with cutesy designs. it’s the little things to appreciate, y’know what i mean ? ❞
— - a rare, but not unheard of smile appeared on painted lips, watching her opposite offer the shelter of the large umbrella that she held comfortably in her hand. ❛ you know, i thought i TRUSTED the weather app. ❜ dylan groaned as she shuffled under the umbrella. ❛ emily, right ? ❜ good try, dylan.
⥽ a chuckle leaves amelie’s lips, glancing up at the dark clouds that didn’t show a single sign of parting any - time soon. ❝ the weather app said there was a fifty eight percent chance for rain. ❞ she hums informatively, offering the shelter of her umbrella to the other girl. ❝ no, actually. it’s amelie. but, uh... close enough, i suppose. ❞
winslet was known to be in a perpetual state of unpreparedness. the rain was totally and completely unexpected, leaving the blonde to use her history book as means of protection from the heavy downpour. it wasn’t until she heard the sweetest melody coming from behind her that she straightened just a little bit, sapphire eyes focusing on honey brown ones she could easily get lost in should she just let herself. “oh, my HERO!” winslet cooed funnily, though her heart hammered slightly faster than normal. she figured it was all due to the surprise of seeing amelie out of everyone.. not because of anything else, of course. “i can’t bring myself to say no. do you want to grab lunch?”
⥽ a wide grin paints itself to the ballerina’s face, easily falling into a quick round of theatrics with the blonde. ❝ why, my darling, of course !! it is i, your faithful and trusty hero. here to shelter you from god’s mighty wrath of a storm. ❞ amelie smiles as she holds her umbrella up for them, her wide grin turning into something softer at how close they had suddenly got; huddled together under the umbrella. ❝ will you be buying ?? ❞
‘ unfortunately .. ’ santiago sighs, obviously extremely annoyed with the sudden weather change. his psych textbook that was somewhat protecting him from the downpour was absolutely drenched. fuck he needed that to study tonight. ‘ thanks. ’ he mutters as he awkwardly huddles under the umbrella. ‘ i’m santiago by the way , gotta know who you’re sharing an umbrella with i guess ! ’
⥽ a frown paints itself onto her lips when she sees him using a text - book as protection from the rain, trying to look at the damage of the book once they’re under the safety of her umbrella. ❝ we might be able to save it. ❞ she tries to be as optimistic about the situation at hand as she can. ❝ it’s a pleasure to meet you, santiago ! i’m amelie. ❞
Shrugging her shoulders her head rolled over to the other, “Well, I have been watching you. This has been my plan all night” she joked, nudging her slightly, “Have you had a good night so far?” she asked her sipping on the drink that was placed in front of her.
⥽ amelie giggles sweetly, leaning against the bar - top as she turns to her new FRIEND. ❝ watching me all night, hm ? ❞ she muses, giving the bartender a polite nod as she takes her drink. ❝ sounds like something a total axe murderer would say. ❞ she sips at her drink for a moment, a nod of her head as she turns her attention back to sloane. ❝ well, better now that i’ve got you here. what about you ? ❞
