Amelia_Graves

This is Amelia Graves, known locally as the eternal girl, given her heritage. One of few to ever aquire the blood of the phoenix, Amelia is capable of not only restoring herself from any injury, but as you may have guessed, returning from mere ashes or even less is the need arises. Even age is no obstacle to her, she'd simply regenerate back to a healthy age should her body start to give in to it ever. Now, don't get me wrong here, there's not really anything special about Amelia other than her restoratice powers. It's not like she's an unstoppable force or particularly skilled in anything, she's just a girl who shall never die as long as there is a heat source in the universe. She's not even unique, others with the phoenix blood running through their bodies have existed for a good long time before Amelia was born. Of course, she displays flaming wings and hair as well, can create and control fires at will and is able to share her restorative abilities with others that are still living or very recently deceased, however these are triats all like her display as well, along with some without phoenix blood too. All that makes Amelia stand out is how potent her phoenix blood is in it's ability to restore her being. Well, and most crowds avoid being too close to her flaming body I guess. Now, the phoenix blood isn't quite what you're probably thinking it is. Sure, it comes from the ancient phoenix, the fire bird, however there's a slight bit more to it than just being related to a phoenix. For reference, there is a difference between phoenix blooded and having the blood of the phoenix. Not a large one, but a difference nonetheless. This difference, is simply based on chance. Either you bare a strong connection to the ancient phoenix or you don't. If you do, you display strong characteristics commonly found in phoenixes, while if you don't, you'll at best disply weaker versions. Amelia displays these traits far more strongly than most others like her and, as a result of this, is simply incapable of dying under any circumstances, so long as a source of heat remains anywhere. This has, much to her chagrin, been tested as well... You see, Amelia Graves has nothing much going for her other than her ability to recover from anything. She's slightly below average in physical strength and, in terms of magical, she's reliant on her own fiery natures to even get started in that respect. MEntally she's fairly intelligent, got far above average test scores growing up, though that brain doesn't help when someone in her town decides they feel like having a spicy lunch... As much as she's against the idea, Amelia has very few ways to actually stop someone from consuming her if they tried. Most people are physically stronger than her and, without a large, open space, she's unable to simply fly away either. Her flames? Harmless. In fact, they're entire purpose is recovery and most claim they're cold to the touch. Her clothes don't think so however, same with most fabrics even. Amelia had to get specially made fire-resistant clothing made to not burn it to cinders in seconds. Something expensive to have created. As such, Amelia now suplements her income with her own body. Or rather, those that wish to indulge in it's taste around town are free to buy her if they so choose. She doesn't like this, but it's about the only way to cover them digesting her outfit all the time... So, what's she like as a person? Honestly, when not being treated like (not)free food, she actually rather pleasant. One of those girls that likes spending time with her friends, cares for them, acts like a big sister at times, or a little sister at others too. She's highly intelligent and good at problem solving, though she can be a little sour towards those she doesn't like or try to take advantage of her in some way or another. She pouts when upset or flustered, though rarely ever pulls a worse face than that. If she does, you've either made her cry, or she's trying to think of a way to destroy you without being capable of causing harm. Which has only happened twice in her lifetime. She didn't succeed in either case. Amelia tends to wear loose fitting clothes that let her stay comfortable yet also not overheat too often, which has proven to be harder than it sounds, especially given heat resistant clothing is also highly insulating, making her hotter while wearing it. This generally includes a custom designed hoodie with a pair of holes in the hood to help vent her heat and, as such, there are often small flames spouting from these holes, flames that take shape based on her emotional state as well. Generally very fanned out flames to show her open, relaxed nature. The hoodie also has a gap around the base of the hood, to allow the flaming segments of her hair to hang down the outside of it, instead of cooking her on the inside. Did you think all her hair was fire? Only the very longest sections turn from hair to flame, though all of it has a striking blue hue to match the colour of her phoenix fire. Lastly, the hoodie has a back opening to let her wings out from within. Amelia also tends to wear short shorts and, given a comment made by one of her friends, ended up in lace stockings as well. She doesn't quite get why, just that they'd apparently give her more of the right type of attention. Amelia took this as friendly, yet turns out, she simply misunderstood it as her friend enjoying it when she's food... She wears varying footwear depending on her activity, though generally lace-up trainers end up being her go to pick. Physically Amelia has mostly been covered, though I'll go into further detail here. Having the blood of the phoenix, Amelia is a humanoid girl with phoenix traits, including large feathery wings made from azure flames along with matching hair that, at it's longest segments, turns into similar flames about halfway down. Her body creates a vast amount of heat and as such, her clothing has had to be edited to both resist her flames and provide ventilation for this heat, creating small fire puffs on the top of her head as a result, each on able to symbolise her emotional state, though these burn orange. Amelia's eyes also take on the azure hue of her wings, each shining bright under the light of the sun, or her wings, depending on which is currently brighter at the time. Oddly, lights dont tend to be as bright as her wings. Amelia's body is fairly petite, thin build without much fat on it, almost flat chest, noticeable if you try to cop a feel of em, but otherwise fully hidden by her hoodie, and only stands at 5'2" tall. Physically she's weaker than average for her build, not even having muscle to show if she tried. To match this petite build, she ahs a small mouth. dainty hands and feet and a small, often booped nose. Lastly, I wanted to cover a little about Amelia's anatomy. I already covered how she is capable of recovering from anything, regardless how bad or permanent other may think the situation, as well as explained how people treat her as food. However, I wanted to cover a little bit about how she recovers and what it'd be like to reverse that treatment, Amelia eating someone else instead. When damaged, Amelia's flames automatically fill in the wound and repair it, this holds true for any living or very recently deceased being they touch as well. If she were to touch a recently felled tree with her wing, the tree would instantly sprout new growth. If someone had a limb cut off, she could wrap the injury in her flames and it'd regrow, good as new. Her flames don't replace what is missing, however. They simply create an environment within themselves that causes extreme healing that can even revive those whose soul still lingers or reverse aging effects in the elderly. Theoretically, Amelia could make everyone in the world immortal if she could spread her flames to them all at once. So, what about when Amelia's body is 100% destroyed and is kept in that state far longer than a soul could ever linger? Well, in this case, when it is deemed safe to do so, her flames will burst forth from whatever remains of her being or, if nothing remains, the closest heat source, recreating Amelia's being as if it'd never been harmed to begin with. There is currently no known method of preventing this, while a standard reformation may be interrupted by certain events or magics. This effect does not extend to others, nor does any of her restorative abilities affect her food, given it's usually been dead for a good while before she eats it. As a last note on this part, even though she can heal and restore herself fairly quickly and automatically, digesting her is still possible, as a wet body, though it'd still be hard to manage and take a long time to get through, is weaker than normal. Amelia has a doctor's note exempting her from any swim classes education centres may have her undertake due to how being wet weakens her flames and thus her regenerative abilities. Which is why whe wont revive inside you either, a wet location is deemed unsafe. So what about her insides? What'd it be like to be treated the way most treat Amelia, but by her instead? Well, that's be a rather interesting situation. Amelia's body is technically made entirely out of phoenix fire, however her human body still retains human qualities for the most part. As such, internally, you'd find yourself stuck inside a human's stomach, or other hole's destination. Her stomach or intestines would indeed be trying to break you apart, digest you and absorb you as nutrition, phoenix fire being highly capable of converting substances into a useable form. There's just one problem with that. If you didn't die 2 or more days prior to ending up inside her, you'd simply be restored by her body faster than it could process you. In fact, it could be both seen as the most effective healing or a highly effective torture method, depending on how you see it. Eternally digested? Never getting to see the outside world again, simply because you got yourself stuck inside a girl that literally cannot harm a living being? Or maybe, you figure there's a way out somehow, and decide to get yourself taken in in order to heal up in an intimate way? Whatever the reasons, you'll be boiled alive, roasted and digested all at the same time you are healed and restored. It's a good thing she's also technically not capable of eating another person then, huh? Technically... She could if they forced themselves into her without care of the damage they'd cause her on the way in, she'd regenerate after all. She could also consume someone much smaller than herself easily without concern. Oh right, did I mention that phoenix fire doesn't care about size or shape? While a human body might, and you'd feel as if you were in a human body, only worse and better in different ways, the fact remains Amelia is made from phoenix fire and thus wouldn't even show a small change from a giant being inside her. She'd definitely feel the difference though... Part of the Verily_Verity collection.
