Amelia knows she is different. Her father is the well reknown angel; Gabriel, God's right hand. Her brother is a golden haired, chiseled replica who similarly excels in obeying orders and living godly. Then there is her mother, Victoria. The most beautiful angel ever to exist. She has lushous golden hair that falls in waves, perfect blue eyes with flecks of silver and a figure that attracts men and women alike to her presence. She is the epitome of grace and calm nature, never bending a single rule. Amelia, like her family, excels in all she does. However her ink black hair quickly gives away her oddities from her golden family. She naturally beats out all her peers; in schooling, singing, dancing-everything. But unlike the rest of the angels who remain gracious when they win she is quick to gloat. She loves doing things best. She challenges everyone to think beyond their daily tasks. She is mockful of their passive nature, most of all Victoria. As a sixteen year old all Amelia wants to do is drop to earth below to take part in missions. She is bored of the heavens, bored of the flustery angels tsking behind her back when her temper slips, frustrated by her father's embarrassment of her different nature and spiteful of her mother's meekness and distance. As she views the earth below she feels drawn to the odd sensation of thrill that tingles through her at the chaos exploding below her. As Amelia engrosses herself in the actions below on earth Victoria watches her from afar. Though Victoria's composure appears serene her blue eyes gleam with deeper knowledge and understanding at the peril her daughter is feeling.
