Amélie Lacroix

**Amélie Lacroix**, known by her alias **Widowmaker** is a bully, and a minor antagonist in *Deer River*.

## History

### *Deer River*

When Amèlie was first introduced, she was about to give Yukiko Amagi a wedgie. Kaede Akamatsu tried to stop her, but the only thing she accomplished was to get her own atomic wedgie. Before Amélie could torture the girls further, however, Diantha showed up and gave Amélie her own wedgie before proceeded to drag her to the detention room.

She was found days later by Blake Belladonna, hanging by her underpants alongisde Yukiko. It was implied that she had been bullied and hung by a rogue vigilante.

### *Deer River V2*

Amélie's first appearance in Volume 2 had her finding Naoto Shirogane and giving her a hanging wedgie inside a locker.

She met the Detective Prince again when she visited the Shadows' base of operations to interrogate Izanami. The leader of the Shadows believed that Naoto wanted to place a hit on someone, and offered Amélie, Sabrina and Neo as free agents. Amélie kept her eyes on Naoto until she left, but had no chance to give her another wedgie.

A few days later, Amélie aided Izanami in a fight against Clair, the leader of the Dragons. The two of them defeated her, then proceeded to remove her skirt and give her a powerful wedgie. Izanami then commanded Amélie to drag her to a nearby bathroom to give her a swirly as they explained how the Shadows were going to assimilate the Dragons, as well as all the other bully groups. The conversation was being overheard by Maya Fey, who was eventually found out by the two bullies.

Izanami then commanded Amélie to restrain Maya. After a brief chase, she managed to locate Maya, who was alongside Circe and Harriet. Izanami soon joined the group, and the two sides had a brief fight. When Nailah joined the fight, Izanami and Amélie decided to retreat, who told Maya she would find a way to punish her.

Days later, Amélie and fellow bully Drake Francis found Naoto again, which confirmed the detective's suspicions that the Dragons had been assimilated by the Shadows. The two bullies then proceeded to hang her by her underpants inside a locker.

During the final day of the turf war, Amélie and other members of the shadows engaged the Wolf Pack and their allies in the gym. She fought Circe and Harriet alongisde fellow Shadow Sabrina, but she was quickly defeated and hung by her thong from the second floor railing, where she remained for the remaining of the battle. It's implied that at some point she was stripped of her clothes.

After her participation in the machinations of the Shadows, the Student Council blacklisted Amélie and during the summer break she received a letter warning her about her imminent expulsion if she continued to behave in that way. She was also put on a list of possible candidates for Taskforce W, but was ultimately not chosen to join the main team.

## Personality

Amélie is sadistic and prideful, and she loves causing other people pain by giving them wedgies. She thinks very highly of herself and tries to act cool and composed even when in pain, as shown when Diantha gave her a wedgie in front of Kaede and Yukiko.
