Job ||

Reputation ||
Amy has always been wild and outgoing and thus has a pretty solid reputation. She’s known by always being surrounded by her best friends and boyfriend. She’s often seen at parties and drinking so she’s known as a party girl. She’s a big supplier of peer pressure to her classmates and strangers alike, often encouraging drinking and smoking with a ‘yolo’ sort of attitude.
Amy is also known for her slightly invasive hobby of trying to pair people up. She’s been trying to pair off her best friends for years and often, other people find themselves on the end of her curious questions about their love life. She’s very supportive of everyone and is easy to talk to, so for that reason a lot of people like her or go to her for advice or just to feel a little better about themselves.
Friends ||
Her best friend is Max Carter, who she’s known since high school and has been close to ever since. The two are both pretty fun loving and wild, and get along really well that way. Along with her are Ace and Todd, the two quieter boys who’ve been subject to her and Max’s whims ever since they met. While the boys are quieter than the girls they still stay friends and form an inseparable group of four that Amy considers a family.
Amy’s met her new suitemate Niko and really likes her, she’s shy and sweet and Amy is convinced that Todd has a crush on her so her new task is hooking them up. And, of course, when she found out that Max was interested in a boy she pointed out at the party, she began to talk to him and his buddy! Chase and Clint seem pretty cool to Amy so far, and she totally ships her best friend with Chase. And thinks Clint’s cute even though nothing would ever happen there.
Amy’s friends with Hallie, Lola, and Jas through them often going to the same parties. They have each other’s numbers and when one hears about a party, often they’ll text the others. Sure, Amy’s not extremely close to the trio, but they do get along really well and dance together at parties at times. She also gets along well with Chad for similar reasons -- he's often at parties and though he's hit on her numerous times, she's never wanted to be anything more than friends with him, nor has she wanted to spread her legs for him.
Amy met Mal and Gracie through Todd and thought they were cool -- she clicked with Gracie immediately, and they're both rambunctious and silly so she likes when she sees him and can hang out with him. Mal is cool, too, though, and Amy totally ships her and Chad!
Enemies/Rivals
Amy’s met quite a few people who don’t like her in her time at Metric. Not many are vocal about it due to her popularity, however. One of the people who are is Chardonnay, her suitemate. Though Amy likes the girl and thinks she’s funny to tease/poke fun at Chardonnay does not appreciate it at all. She caught Arthur and Chardonnay trapped in a gym closet and ever since, she’s been convinced they’re secretly dating or at least fooling around together. The two of them are funny and Amy wants to consider them friends even though they hate her. She’s odd like that, but she’ll defend her choices to the grave! And will befriend them, eventually, so she says.
Relationship Status ||
Single. She was dating Mason Finnegan. The two met when she was a freshman and she does and did love him; but unfortunately, her commitment issues got the better of her and she wound up flirting with another guy. Mason found out, confronted her, and when she found out he never told her about a girl who liked him back in Ireland who still spoke to him, she called their relationship off. Deep down, part of her regrets what she did to Mason, but she's too stubborn to apologize or go back to him, thinking he deserves better than her whishy-washy attitude about being in love.
Clubs and Organizations ||

Curly and brown. Sometimes, she’ll straighten it, but not often.
Eye color/makeup preferences ||
Brown, and she generally keeps it simple. Amy’s the type who doesn’t really care about going out with or without makeup but likes to slap it on mostly for parties. In classes she usually looks considerably plainer.

Family ||
Isaac O’Neal – Father – 48 – Philanthropist || Amy’s dad is just as wild as Amy is. He’s silly and lives a life of luxury. He was born rich and simply inherited his father’s estate in northern California. He fell in love with a woman when he was young and they dated for a long time. When he got her pregnant he tried to get Amy’s mother to stay but it didn’t work out and she left him with their daughter. Ever since Isaac’s been devoted to Amy. He’s protective of her and will give her the world if she asks for it. He is constantly reminded of the woman who left him when he sees Amy, though. Perhaps not in appearance, but in personality and talent level. It’s something that both saddens Isaac and makes him proud because her mother was one of the most amazing women he’s ever met. Though he is protective of Amy he respects her choices as a young adult. Often, Amy has to talk Isaac down from doing stupid things – like gambling all of his fortune away!
Unknown – Mother || Amy doesn’t know her mother, though her father does. Her father knows exactly who she is and where she is right now. When Amy graduated High School, he finally sat her down and gave her an offer. He could give her contact info for her mother and she could talk to her, finally. Amy knew it was hard for her father to not only get up the resolve to get her contact info but tell his daughter about his lost love, but Amy still refused it. As far as she’s concerned, her mother is not her mother. She doesn’t want to try to rekindle a relationship with the woman when she was the one who left. The fact that she’s still alive and somewhere makes Amy furious because her mother never made any effort for her or her father. Her mother is someone Amy doesn’t like to talk about, and when Amy is asked about her, she’ll just say she doesn’t have one. Something that Amy doesn’t know is just how similar to her mother she is.

Backstory ||
Amy doesn’t know anything about her mother, but Isaac could write you a novel about how they met. Isaac tells Amy that they fell in love and dated, and maybe they did, in a sense, but Amy’s mother was a stripper/prostitute and he was her client. She met Isaac when he came to her club and paid her for sex. She was always a wild woman and didn’t like to be restrained. However Isaac found himself only wanting her out of the girls available for sex. He fell for her hard and often gave her a place to stay when she had problems of her own that left her without a place to stay. He can’t be sure if she ever loved him or if she was just using him. But one night after too much drinking and not enough thinking they had unprotected sex and Amy’s mother became pregnant. She didn’t tell Isaac and just left, not coming back.
Until nine months later, when she put the 4 day old baby on his doorstep with a note saying she was his. And then she was gone.
When she left nine months before, Isaac was a mess, and turned to gambling and partying away his problems. When he found a baby and a note on his door he bawled, and tried to find a way to contact the baby’s mother, but failed. He wound up having to raise Amy alone with only the help of a hired nanny. He didn’t want to be around the baby so he let the nanny have free reign and rejected her. As Amy grew older she didn’t understand why her father was so cold to her. She tried to play with him but he’d reject her and call for her nanny. Though she liked her nanny fine, she wanted to play with the man who looked grumpy. Isaac was in a very bad place, but Amy persisted, and one evening when her nanny was ill Isaac had no choice but to take care of Amy himself. She was only about 5, but managed to get Isaac to laugh again with her goofy personality. She was full of life like the woman who’d left him had been and, slowly, Amy wormed her way into his life just like she had.
Amy’s nanny was still present but not as often – Isaac was still unsure of a lot of things so he needed her help. Her nanny retired when Amy was about 10, but by that time, Isaac found it unnecessary to hire another one. She grew up in luxury, living in the vast mansion that Isaac had inherited. But never once did the big space feel lonely because Amy was always inviting friends over, and dancing around, and having fun. For her tenth birthday her father bought her a Polaroid camera and Amy fell in love with it. She took pictures of everything, but mostly the breathtaking views they had from the balcony and their yard. Amy’s photography began to litter the walls of the place. Isaac bought her the best camera he could find, then, and Amy’s pictures grew better in quality. Isaac knew that this was Amy’s passion and he found the best school he could find for it – Metric Academy.
Amy applied and got in with her amazing shots, and her freshman year, she moved to the dorms. She fit right in and didn’t have any trouble making friends. One friend she wound up making was Mason Finnegan, a performer, who she felt attracted to right away. However because he had to travel a lot they never decided to date – Amy was adamant about not being able to do long distance. So they never dated but did remain close friends. Throughout her years Amy didn’t have a shortage of romance. She got her first boyfriend her freshman year, a boy named Kyle. He was sweet but Amy got bored of the relationship after the honeymoon faze wore down and broke it off. Most of her relationships went the same way throughout her freshman and sophomore years.
Her junior year, Amy had been partying to get over her worst breakup yet (a boy named Mikal who she’d really liked and he had actually been the one to end it, rather than her) when her friends took her to a party. Amy had fun at the party and danced, had one too many shots, and wound up making out with one of her friends to get a reaction from the crowd. Amy had more fun than she thought she would with the kiss and after the party, she and the friend decided to date. However they broke up a few weeks later – they both thought it was too awkward to date one another – besides, the other girl insisted that they had to keep the relationship a secret and Amy didn’t like that. That was when she discovered her sexuality.
Senior year of High School was one of Amy’s favorite years, because she met her closest friends then. Max, Todd, and Ace. She met them at a cute little introduction party, and hit it off right away with them. Over the years, they grew closer and Max became her best friend, period. Todd and Ace were close friends, but Amy was always closest to Max. Still she had pictures on her walls of all of them in big group shots, pair shots, and individual shots. She and Max like to make a habit of dragging Ace and Todd places, even if they seem reluctant to go most of the time.
Mason came back about halfway through senior year and he asked Amy out officially. They’ve been dating for two years now. Though Amy’s beginning to feel anxieties about the relationship she does love Mason, and for now, she’s just living each day as it comes. She’s still very close to her father, and very social to basically everyone in school.

Notes ||
- Amy has major commitment issues. Not necessarily that she’d cheat on a partner, but in that settling down for good makes her nervous. Amy feels like a marriage if she were to ever get married would trap her, and though she loves kids, she doesn’t really want any at in the future. She’s been struggling with these thoughts, especially as she gets older and she’s in a serious relationship. While she does love her boyfriend, she’s not sure how far she wants to take their relationship. (Note: this’ll lead to her running away prior to the ten year time skip).
- Amy’s dream career is to be a freelance photographer, who can travel the world and submit her work to magazines to have it printed. She uses deviantart now to post her photography and has a decent following there. She does feel like she doesn’t travel as much as she’d like to, to get the most diverse shots she possibly can.
