Amelia Barnes

*Edina Hyde*

The EYE *(Former)*

**Amelia Barnes** *(アミリア バーンズ Aimiria Bānzu)* is a member of IDEAL and a rare case in the mentioned group in which she isn't an esper, a scientist, a magician, a gemstone or some form of magical species. Instead, she is a special human that was formed due to being exposed to the radiation of the **Operation Orb** (*演算宝珠 Enzan Hōju, lit. Operation Sphere)*. She is a runaway patient from a mental asylum from London, and was later hired by The EYE and experimented on, causing her mentality to break down even further.

As with her fellow members at IDEAL, she was put under the custody and her organization's ownership have been transferred to CERBERUS.

## Personality

Amelia is a conflicted and mentally ill woman which was caused by her constant abuse from both of her parents, her mentality worsening when she was put in the Mental Asylum in London. In the beginning she was showing symptoms to be bipolar, having periods of depression and abnormally elevated moods. However as her mental condition worsens she eventually becomes schizophrenic, having hallucinations of herself being more violent and begins her descent to insanity. After the exposure to the Operation Orb's radiation, her mentality has completely broken down and caused a split in her personality. Splitting into two other personalities, while she herself stays in the dark to sleep and stay away from the world.

### Amelia Barnes

Amelia herself is a terrified young woman who has a conscience and expresses deep shock and horror at what Edina Hyde has done. She was so horrified by what she has done that after realizing the destruction she has caused and the trauma she caused to many people, she encouraged Eiichiro to kill her, and the only thing that prevents this from happening was the frantic interference of her two other personalities that existed in her head. She spends the majority of her time after her experimentation from The EYE restrained and protected by her other personalities, whose only goal is to protect her. When she does awaken and is in the "light" again, she is very easily scared and doesn't trust others very easily. Eventually, she grows closer to CERBERUS and grows affectionate of Eiichiro. Deprived of a parental figure, she takes an affectionate role of an overly affectionate daughter similar to Suzushina Yuriko.

### Lara Jekyll

Lara is Amelia's ideal self, she is the person she has always wanted to be. She's the dominant personality of the other two, she's calm, tranquil, and level-headed to some extent and working to keep Edina under control as well as to comfort Amelia. Lara is the personality that is mainly used to communicate with everyone else (as Amelia is too terrified and Edina would just kill anyone she sees). She is a charismatic, persuasive, and intelligent with an incredible talent for learning things. A sophisticated, obsequious, orderly, and polite woman, she is very disciplined and intellectual towards the other people. Her relationship with Eiichiro is undoubted admiration and respect, she sees him as a model to be imitated. Being intelligent and logical, yet carefree and caring towards his friends and "lovers". It is hinted that she has romantic feelings for him.

### Edina Hyde

By far the most dangerous, hostile and terrifying of all three of Amelia's personalities, Edina is the manifestation of Amelia's wish for strength and negative emotions that was brought about from her parents' abuse. She is a malevolent and rancorous figure, feared by even the likes of Mina Harker (a vampire) and Diana Gray (an immortal), who all do not want to fight Edina in a one on one battle. While it was mainly believed that she was created after the experimentation, she stated that she was already present in Amelia even when she was young. Edina is extremely destructive and violent to the point of savagery, having an unquenchable lust for human flesh, and an immeasurable hatred towards the World and acts accordingly. Despite her savagery and beliefs, in the end, her main goal and desire is to protect Amelia. She hates the world that created her in the expense of a terrified young girl who couldn't protect herself, and in accordance to her belief, she also admires and respects all those who are willing to protect Amelia, such as in the case with CERBERUS. However she is the closest to Eiichiro when it comes down to it as it was him that eventually saved Amelia, Lana and even her. She takes on the role of an overly-affectionate pet to Eiichiro, often tackling and mounting him when she gets the chance.

## Appearance

Ameila, Lara and Edina all have the same appearance which makes sense considering that they are all the same person. It's the way they present themselves that are different, generally all of them wear the same clothing. Shown to be fancily dressed in a white dress shirt, an olive green vest, a black and grey jacket draped across her shoulders and a long black skirt. She wears a black and white handkerchief with a red jewel around her neck, and leather gloves over his hands. The difference between the three personalities are the eye colors, her eye color switches when the personality switches. Ocean Blue for Amelia, Emerald Green for Lara, and Blood Red for Edina.

Amelia is a girl with a tall and slender figure. She has a faded yellowish long hair that generally goes down to her mid-back. Lara tends to have her hair tied properly and neatly, whereas Edina prefers to keep her hair unkempt and messy. Amelia has shown qualities of a mature female despite being 17 years of age. She is beautiful and endowed with both style and grace fitting for an ojou-sama.

It has also been noted that when Edina takes over Amelia's body, Amelia's breasts and buttocks grow considerably larger, where they are too big for her clothes. Her shirt exposes a small portion of cleavage, while her skirt allows a healthy amount of her butt-cheeks to slip out. She also becomes slightly taller and more muscular than the Amelia which has a hand in increasing her strength due to more muscle mass.

## Powers and Abilities

### Lara Jekyll

Lara Jekyll has demonstrated herself to be a supergenius at deduction, tactics, strategies, manipulation, and overall information retention, which has allowed her to achieve most, if not any end goal she desires, despite her being an ordinary human without any form of special abilities using Science or Magic. This is most obviously displayed in Lara's encyclopedic knowledge of lore in magic as well as her ability to learn skills with speeds that rival Sunazara Kyoko, as well as her ability to draw upon ancient myths and legends to produce elaborate and surprisingly accurate theories and hypotheses about superhumans. This super-intelligence also allowed Lara to quickly learn how to utilize new technologies and exploit their weaknesses, as demonstrated when she was capable of hacking into a computer even after she was sedated for a lengthy period of time. She has also shown to be a good combatant on her own, showcasing proficiency in Tae Kwan Do, Muay Thai and Shaolin Kung Fu.

### Edina Hyde

As Amelia Barnes, she is just an ordinary person with no special abilities or unique talents. The same applies to Lara Jekyll. However, when Edina Hyde takes over the body, she gains frightening animal-like abilities and is presumably one of the more powerful humans in the world without any special abilities like esper powers or magic spells. When she takes over the body, Amelia's bodily chemistry will undergo rapid change as her strength and stamina will dramatically increase. Once Edina has taken the light very few things can draw out Amelia. Lara seemingly has some control over Edina, usually reverting back to her when Edina has finished it's actions. However, Kihara Eiichiro seemingly can bring Amelia forward when Edina has the light, he demonstrated this when he hugged Edina and spoke Amelia''s name.

One of Edina's defining traits is her unbelievable strength. She is strong enough to bend steel bars without any effort, effortlessly throw people and magical beings around like rag dolls, throw large boulders with a single hand, travel far distances with a single leap, defeat and nearly killed a weakened Saint. It also has been stated that the angrier she gets, the stronger she becomes. Displayed when Edina was able to effortlessly toss Felicity (a Saint) several meters backwards and crashing through several buildings with absolute ease. While not insanely fast, she has also shown to outrun Eiichiro when not drawing power from the entities inside **Imagine Breaker Replica** (*偽・幻想殺し Nise Gensō Goroshi, lit. "Fake Illusion Killer")*.

Edina has also shown to be able to climb walls and stay unto ceilings. She does not however deny the laws of gravity, instead she adhere to the surfaces unaided using her extremely strong hands to dig into the walls and ceilings. Even without using her own physical strength, she can simply be able to make use of any handholds they find, no matter how small, to crawl on walls.

She is also unbelievably resistant to all forms of damage and conventional weaponry that would normally be fatal to regular humans, resembling a rhino's tough skin. Her skin and muscles have amazing resistance against any form of weaponry, and she also seems to be immune to conventional diseases or viruses. She has never gotten sick or suffered from common pains or ills possibly because her body is simply too powerful to be affected in this fashion. She is able to withstand close-range shotgun bullets and still walk with no visible pain, although her skin doesn't heal and the marks from the bullets can be seen. She can also take on Mina's **The Empress of the Executioner** *(死刑執行人の皇后 Shikei Shikkō Hito no Kōgō, lit. The Executioner's Empress)* with effort. However, when Lara or Amelia take over, this invulnerability disappears, and she's susceptible to regular fatal injuries again.
