I really don't think Amelia is gonna be a Prime Asset. Maaaybe a Specialist ExPop?? But I don't know. The thing is, I see everyone saying she was super charismatic and that's how she convinced everyone to try and escape, but I just don't think that's true? Her speeches to Reagents weren't anything special, in fact, a lot of times I was wondering if they were even gonna work, opening with "you're garbage" and stuff like that. I think more than anything, Amelia proved that Lathe 2 is not working, and that's what scared Easterman the most. Not that everyone was trying to leave (though obviously that's not a good thing), but that the therapy is kind of bullshit. All of the endings so far have been seemingly a fair bit distant in the future, making me believe that as Reagents, we get out a lot later than it seems. There is no way the brainwashing can only take a few months, that has to take several years of breaking us down and reforming us. And I think it isn't working, and Amelia exposed that by encouraging Reagents to form and keep social bonds and get out of there together, something Easterman discouraged and definitely doesn't want to continue (see the upcoming PVP mode for evidence of that).
All in all, Amelia could have been anyone. She could have been any Reagent, they are all down on their luck people who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or were seeking something or signed up willingly to a lie. But Amelia could have been literally anyone, and she knows that. There can't nor will there ever be another Mother Gooseberry because she is a unique individual with charisma and influence and experiences that shaped her to be that way. Amelia is not.
