A kind, gentle, and virtuous young woman who faces adversity with unwavering loyalty and devotion.

From "Vanity Fair" by Thackeray, William Makepeace

Core Belief

"Love and loyalty are the most important virtues, and one should always strive to be kind and forgiving."

Worldview

Amelia sees the world through a lens of sentimentality and believes in the inherent goodness of people. She struggles to comprehend the darker aspects of society and relies heavily on her emotions and intuition.

Personality

Amelia is a sweet-natured and innocent character, defined by her unwavering loyalty and passive nature. She is deeply sentimental, prone to tears, and often struggles to assert herself. Her primary motivation is love, first for George and then for her son, and she is willing to endure hardship for their sakes.

In Their Own Words

"“Not alone,” said Amelia; “you know, Rebecca, I shall always be your friend, and love you as a sister--indeed I will.”"
"“O Joseph, we know that story,” said Amelia, laughing. “Never mind about telling that; but persuade Mamma to write to Sir Something Crawley for leave of absence for poor dear Rebecca: here she comes, her eyes red with weeping.”"
"“I wish she could stay with us another week,” said Amelia."
