Sorry for not being very productive lately... so in order to apologize here's an interaction between Amaine and Tamarack!!! This isn't so new to Tamarack since Amaine gets stress pretty easily!
This is when they first go to middle school, Amaine doesn't know how to communicate much and she only talks to the people she's familiar with, so it's a total challenge for her!
Her hair's end curls up whenever she's stress (sounds stereotyped lol) it's not really visible but people might notice that her hair got sharper.
(I am so sorry for all the Tamarack lovers because I'm not good at drawing chubby girls even though I love them, so maybe Tamarack looks weird here and for her sweater I just give up 😭😭)
Amaine actually has a lot more to talk about, she is currently hiding lots of things from her beloveds:
Amaine is terribly scared of adult man (Qiu's father for example), the reason is still unknown since she doesn't talk about it.
Amaine learns a lot, studies every night and sometimes you can find her chewing sugary sweets to keep herself awake.
She doesn't see her mama much, this leads to a problem in which Amaine stops sharing her doubts and issues to her mama so that she doesn't bother her or make her stress so she just keep all her thoughts and emotions to herself. (she'll snap if this keep going)
All the things that she does is all to benefits her mama and be able to get wealthy and let her mama rest, she is scared of the thought that if she doesn't learn, she'll just disappoint all the woman in her bloodline that gives up their talents and dreams for her to just end up like them. (She's pushing herself too much)
She envies Qiu and Baxter for their gender and their personality and also their life, she wishes she could be carefree and cool like them, having everyone in school admiring and also have a great life where their parents can relax and doesn't have to overwork themselves like her mama.
She currently feels affections towards Qiu, but it's not completely love since she doesn't understand affections between boys and girls. In contrast, she isn't hesitant to shows her affections around Tamarack since she's comfortable and loves Tamarack a lot, she also frequently hugs Tamarack and praises her beauty.
