Amelinda Carmelle

Francesca Fedella (Close Friend)

## Moveset

Dark Pulse

Flamethrower

Nasty Plot

Snarl

Somber and sarcastic, Amelinda Carmelle is a far more distant Kanitorian compared to most of her compatriots. The trusting nature her people are known for ended up being used against her for most of her life and she has only recently gained a chance to rebuild her life and learn to open up to others again. Even still she often spends most of her time to herself, dedicating herself to learning writing and poetry in her spare time. Her more isolationist tendencies have been a point of contention among her few friends, trying to get her to open up while she remains in fear that her troubled past may return to hurt her once again. Her struggles in her past have also made her a far more wary person, better understanding the motivations of others and a much more cunning thought process.

## Childhood in San Roque

Growing up in the Empire's largest city left the houndoom with no shortage of friends. She was a far more social pokemon in her youth, often getting to mingle with some of the more well off folk of San Roque. Her relatively affluent parents had given her the chance to easily pursue a higher education in electrical engineering, seeing the continued development of electric infrastructure throughout the nation. As her college years came to a close, she found herself swooning over a particular suave houndoom that had taken a unique interest in her.

## A Miserable Marriage

As the two began dating, their initial experience appeared rather wholesome. They often ate at expensive restaurants, spectated VIP arena matches, and enjoyed several trips throughout the empire, things one would expect from a well off couple. Even from the start, certain troubling signs of his true intentions had shown through, but the young woman paid them no mind. Once the two had consecrated their marriage however, things soon took a turn for the worse. As the two had become far more interconnected legally and socially, Amelinda's husband was far more keen to reveal his true colors to her.

With her now in a much more vulerable position, her partner revealed to Amelinda that he was a well respected member of the Valenciaga Cartel, one of Kanitore's most infamous and powerful gangs. Finding herself thrust into the criminal underworld, the houndoom was ultimately at the mercy of her husband and his associates. For about a decade she remained trapped in her dismal situation, unable to escape from the gangs many safeguards and connections. After a time Amelinda had eventually resigned herself to her abuse, thinking that any way out was impossible.

Her hopelessness was not lifelong, however. Amelinda's world was turned on its head once again when she ended up being rescued by a Chapter of the Knights of Cydonia, Kanitore's premier Vigilante Guild. Finally being freed from her captivity, her appearance and mannerisms changed dramatically as she began to make a new life for herself.

## A New Life in The North

Even though she wanted to move further away, the houndoom was assigned to a witness protection program in the city of Bardigio to the north. After some time she found a job putting her electrical expertise to work in a local switching office, fixing its machinery and systems. It was there that she ended up meeting her two close friends, Isabella and Francesca. Isabella was the one to initially reach out to her, being an astute listener to her troubles and helping her come into her own after a lifetime of being forcefully submitted to others. Francesca she had only really interacted with due to her relationship with Isabella, still finding some trouble interacting with her due to their disparate mannerisms.

Even though she has slowly begun to open up in her more recent years, Amelinda still mostly spends her time indoors. The fear of the Cartel re-entering her life still hangs over her like a specter, and her faith in others is still significantly diminished. Her time is often spent with her snout engrossed in pages, whether they be written by others or herself. Novelas and Creative Writing have become more favored pass-times of hers, experiencing the world and others through safer and less direct means. She even wields a dagger hidden inside the casing of a pen as a personal weapon. Even though her life has hardened her to the love of others, Amelinda can still find her own happiness.
