Dr. Amaryllis Dahlia

The doctor's normal work appearance

Amaryllis Dahlia is currently a Head Researcher working at the Foundation's Site-01. She is not permanent personnel there, and she moves from time to time.

She had visited many other Sites, including the famous 19. While she looked up to the Foundation's best, she has given up on trying to be part of them after she realized how much work she would have to handle.

## Appearance

Amy is 5'6", with green eyes and medium-length black hair that is braided. She wears glasses to help with her near-sightedness. The researcher usually wears a green sweater or a button-up shirt under her lab coat, and pants or a pencil skirt.

## Personality

Amaryllis always tries to work by-the-books, especially when going around and interacting with contained SCPs. Though, there are few exceptions. She shows remarkable care for SCP-8828 despite her apparently disliking studying plants and animals. She dislikes working with interns, instead choosing to work with qualified research personnel or just with herself if none are available.

For reasons unknown, she always chooses to use "it" instead of usual pronouns when interacting with contained humanoid anomalies.

## Story

Amaryllis was born in Seattle to parents who both worked for the Foundation. She had an interest in the occult, but her parents made no efforts to teach her more about it. Both deemed her too young to be let in on the horrible things that are hidden by the Veil of secrecy.

She was 18 when her father was killed during a breach in the facility he worked in. Though her mother told her it was a "work accident", she still did not disclose their connection to the paranormal organization. This secret was something she kept up until Amaryllis graduated. She told her much, taught her much, and somehow, Amaryllis accepted it all without losing her mind.

It was not long until Amy began her internship, and her career in the SCP Foundation. She would end up working in plenty of site and on plenty of SCP objects. The title of head researcher only became hers years later.

### April 15th Crisis

In the days after the April 15th crisis, Amaryllis worked with a special team assembled to investigate the initial incident.

### Recovery

After the rebuilding of the Site, Amy was one of the staff from surrounding North American sites transferred to help with recovery efforts. She encountered some interesting people in her first day, including an MTF operative. Amy first studied a shapeshifter SCP on-site, which had imparted animal DNA on some staff She originally was meant to stay for just a month before returning to her previous site.

However, Amaryllis found a new SCP to study. She also was approached by someone working with Security to get help in retrieving missing memories.

### Extended Stay

Amaryllis ended up requesting to extend her stay to know more about the puppy made of jelly. She also seemed to grow closer to it due to the affection it showed to most people that visited it. She even helped it when it first got injured by a closing containment chamber door, and devoted some time to try fix its wounds by creating replacement matter for its lost parts.

However, SCP-8828 ended up being transferred before she could test out this replacement. She promised to wait for its return on site, keeping the replacement "jello" she made displayed in her office.

With the SCP she had studied for a while out of the site, she decided to study another. Whilst searching the database for obsolete files, she met a new head researcher, who brought a gift and started talking to her as she worked. Though at first Amaryllis was wary due to her mention of things she was banned from doing, she and the researcher seemed to get along well. However, she tells her to get back to her work once she tries to borrow a "book" in her office.

Amaryllis then goes to the chamber of SCP-295 after noticing its breach records. Within she finds the SCP: a child, who she promptly begins interviewing as part of protocol when visiting SCPs with rarely updated files. She also asks if the SCP wanted to add more things in the room and if the SCP had encountered any problems lately. During the interview, a person enters the chamber, who she recognizes as the guard who approached her once about his missing memory. The guard hands the SCP a piece of paper, which had a drawing on it. The SCP suddenly begins asking him questions about the "Overseers", which gets Amy's curiosity. The guard denies knowing anything about them and leaves. Amy, intending to know more tries to follow. She is forced to stay a bit longer in the chamber by 295, so she fails to do so.

When the researcher returned to her office, she found the guard waiting for her. She confronts the guard and he reveals that he in fact works for the Overseers before amnesticizing her.
