==Biography==
===6th Century===
Amelia was born in the 6th century in Europe during a time when the Sons of Corvinus were rising to prominence. Specifically, this was when William's plague was ravaging the country and the outbreak of werewolves was growing rapidly out of control. To combat this, Marcus sired two Vampire Elders, Viktor and Amelia. Amelia was in agreement that William had to be imprisoned and participated in the battle of his capture. She, Marcus and Viktor, would then lead the first vampire coven together as the three Elders.
In time, Amelia would leave the coven's original lands and become the founder of both the Eastern and Nordic Covens. Unlike Viktor who sought greater power, Amelia ruled her people with kindness and righteousness.
===Modern Era===
Over a thousand years later, Amelia fell in love with Thomas, and had a son with him, David. It was during Amelia's time of ruling that Kraven revealed his intentions to become the sole ruler of the vampires. Forming a ploy that saw him become an uneasy ally of Lucian, Kraven sought to eliminate the elders, and while all 3 of them would eventually die, he also would in the process. When Amelia's rule was coming to an end and it was time for her to enter the 200 year sleep so the others could reign, her train was ambushed by Lycans. The team that was sent to escort her were Kraven's men, and they stood by doing nothing as she and her caravan were slaughtered.
==Personality==
Of the three original Vampire Elders, Amelia was the only one who was not malicious or antagonistic in any way. She was beloved by her people for her compassion, benevolence, and for leading from the front especially in times of war. She refused to stay in the back, fighting directly on the frontlines with her followers. Her rule was fair and kind, the opposite of Viktor who ruled through fear and tyranny. She was truly selfless, offering her assistance whenever asked of her, and was profoundly noble.
==Powers and Abilities==
Amelia was one of the most powerful vampires in history. She was an Elder, and was turned by the very first Vampire himself, Marcus Corvinus. She was exceptionally deadly and masterful in combat, and thanks to her blood, would agewise live forever, had increased strength, speed, agility, durability, stamina and senses.
==Relationships==
===Vampires===
The Vampires loved and respected Amelia for her kindness, righteous rule, and fearlessness and selflessness when it came to aiding and defending her people.
===Viktor===
Amelia and Viktor's relationship, on the outside and at least to a degree inside as well, was one of amicability and respect. Viktor was visibly upset and stricken with sorrow when learning of Amelia's death, and she followed his leadership loyally in ancient times. However, Viktor's desire for power would eventually show its true colors despite his efforts to keep it hidden from her. Viktor schemed to have his daughter Sonja replace her as an elder, and as his malice grew, Amelia kept secret her romance with Thomas and the child they bore.
===Marcus===
Amelia was sired by Marcus himself, and she respected his strength and intellect. However, when it came time to capture William, Amelia sided with Viktor, going against Marcus' wishes. Unlike Viktor however who simply saw William as a pestilence that needed to be stopped, Amelia was more concerned with how the virus was causing death and mayhem among innocents.
===Family===
Amelia fell in love with Thomas, leader of the Western Coven, and the two of them had a son together. Even years after her death, Thomas remained faithful and missed her greatly, seen admiring her portraits. She loved her son David dearly, so much so she kept the knowledge of both him and her relationship with Thomas a secret, less Viktor would make an attempt to harm them in his own campaign for power.
