Where Your Abilities Fall
The Character Talents
::STRENGTHS::
1. Photography
2. Photoshop
3. Sketching
4. Profiling People
::SUMMARY::
amethyst can usually be found with a camera in her hand and in a place with lots of beauty and a nice view. its always something she's quite skilled at. ever since she picked up a camera when she was fifteen she's attached to photography and everything about it. with so many photos, someone has to have some skill in photoshop to be able to edit them to get rid of things that don't belong. her sketches looks as if she doodles something quick and leaves it for someone else to figure out what it is. unless of course that's a rough draft and she's starting an idea, which in most cases it is. amethyst tends to find herself always looking at others. to sort of guess their life work, what they will do, how they go about their lives. she always found it interesting enough to just stare at them for a while before guessing what they did in life.
::WEAKNESSES::
1. Talking Skills
2. Being Herself
3. Family
::SUMMARY::
she was never good talking to others, amethyst just doesn't have what talkative social butterflies have. she can do everything else expect talk to others. she's like a mime. where they don't talk at all. its probably something that would make anyone happy if they were in a loud room trying to calm everyone down, but amethyst sees it as something terrible. she wants to be the kind of person to talk her way out of everything, but it seems that she can't find her voice when things get tough. most of all she would like to act herself, but normally she puts on a different person to impress everyone around her. she always appears to be someone else instead of acting herself, maybe because she's scared no one would like her if she was her quiet soft spoken self. family is her biggest weakness because she loves them to death. its something she keeps close to her heart and never lets go.

::SUMMARY::
amethyst has been told she looks like a lot like avril lavigne, but then again she won't care. her blond hair is usually untangled and free of any bands in her hair. her eyes can be described as blue-gray in color and almond shape. she stands at an even five feet three inches tall, and not an inch taller. she has a few tattoos scattered around on her body, but none visible when she's out in public. unless of course you count the star tattoo on the inside of her wrist, but that's seen by everyone who takes notice to it. she's a pale woman with very white skin, though its a wonder why she doesn't burn when she spends so many hours out in the sun.

::SUMMARY::
amethyst has a love and passion for photography. its her life dream to be a photographer and is slowly getting to that dream with her work. she's interested in items of fantasy nature, elves, werewolves, vampires, the sorts. she loves cats and being in the company of cats, they always seem to have a way to cheer her up when she's feeling down. vermeer's paintings are something she enjoys the most out of most paintings. her favorite is the girl with the pearl earring. she enjoys watching history and reading it on her time off.
she does not like drugs. well at least those that are illegal. drugs used for illnesses are a different matter, but she won't use anything unless she truly has to. early mornings are her enemy because she loves late nights and staying up all night to fix her photos or read a nice book or watch the history channel. rodents scare the living daylights out of her. its the fact that they are so small and tiny that it frightens her to even be around if they are near her. she jumps like a little girl when they come into sight. its a good thing she has a cat or two, to get rid of the pesky rodents and not have to deal with them later on.

::HISTORY::
amethyst was born on the coast of maine to henri and annie amsterdam. she was the middle child of three and the eldest of two girls. the family was wealthy enough to have maids and nannies for their children to not have to make contact with them. henri and annie were not the kind of parents to sit there and play with their children. they were often too busy with work to care about the trio. what henri cared about most was giving the family business to henri jr, to make sure it stayed in the family when he died. that was all henri sr. cared about. amethyst and susie were just there to give henri jr. someone to pick on, not that he picked on them. their life was simple. they all went to a private school, got the education they needed and had plenty of friends to not have their parents notice them.
when amethyst reached her teen years she found a camera stashed away in the attic. she was interested in it and kept it without telling her parents because well, she figured they would take it away from her. she took care of it and fixed it up if it needed it. it was like her baby. that was where her love of photography started. and when things got a bit worse in the family. henri jr and susie were always at each others throats fighting constantly while amethyst made sure to stay away from all the trouble. there had been times when she wondered why they fought with each other at all considering those two would make up like a married couple would trying to fix their marriage, instead of a sibling fight. things were a bit strange around those two and amethyst couldn't figure out why. she was never home so of course she wouldn't know what was going on. she was out an about taking pictures of the coast and the animals she found and fixing them up on photoshop on the laptop her father bought for her one christmas. it was where she spent her time doing. snapping pictures and then editing them. it wasn't until she was around seventeen did she see changes in her siblings. susie was a bit more quiet, henri jr was a little rougher. of course henri was at least nineteen and susie was fifteen, but there was just something odd that amethyst couldn't tell between the two and ignored the signs until the time henri came home drunk and stumbled into her room.
a family friend could always tell you if you asked, who henri sr.'s favorite child was. and it wasn't his son. or the youngest child. but the middle child. amethyst. she took after her father a bit. she was curious and took care of things herself without asking for help, expect when she needed money, but henri sr was always watching his children even though he was hardly ever in their lives most of the time. so when henri jr came into amethyst's room that night, it had been around two am, she was sitting on the bed laptop on her lap, away in thought fixing or changing photos around of the beach. their parents had been away at a party for a charity event, susie was asleep in bed and henri jr was who knew where at a friends house or at a friend's party. her attention was not on the door when her brother stumbled into her room acting a little crazy. she had just figured he got the rooms mixed up again and went to go lead him back to his room.
that was when things got a bit out of hand. amethyst couldn't remember that night. it was just a blur to her and henri. every now and then she got images from that terrible night. lying on the floor covered in blood, henri lying on top of her. susie's screams in the background. her parents running through the front door, her father pulling henri off, her mother screaming her head off calling the cops. henri jr had to be sent to a rehab for his drinking problem that left amethyst unstable and changed completely. she was no longer that loud obnoxious girl anymore, like she just shut down and became a hollowed out image of herself. as it was henri had problems. not only did he have a drinking problem, but he was getting girls pregnant left and right, even raping his baby sister, susie.
amethyst had kept her old ways, going out to take pictures, editing them, but not hanging out with friends, not interacting with her siblings or nephew, joseph. she never got the whole story of what happened that night, what made her retreat into herself. her parents talk about it a lot when they think she's not listening. it's always something about her falling off the second floor, or being pushed or pulled down the stairs and being raped. of course she was never pregnant, so she couldn't understand the rape. she figured that they had came home when henri was about to rape her, she was never sure about that part. it was always images of that night she saw if she sits there thinks about it.
her brother was sent to jail to keep her safe and every other girl out there. he had a few charges on his belt anyways. drunk driving, statutory rape, sexual assault. the bad child of the amsterdam's and bad for the family business. amethyst was free of the horrors of her brother for a while, she even got a beach front house paid for by her father to keep her happy and content. it helped her a lot considering she spends a lot of time there watching the waves, and always taking pictures of the waves and making murals of the pictures she's taken. the house is covered from head to foot of different images, all surrounded by the waves. here she's content taking her photos, but there has been improvement in her behavior. she's started getting out more, spending time with friends from high school. mingling with those of the same interest, looking for work. she's still her old self, just not the loud obnoxious person she used to be.
