Amelia Maxwell/Misc.

Character Design
Amelia was inspired by the Red Lady of Huntingdon, the Japanese yokai Akaneko, and....well, One Piece. The drawing is from an unknown artist I found on Google, and Amelia's name comes from Amelia Earhart, the world's first female pilot to fly over the Atlantic Ocean, and Maxwell from the game Don't Starve.

Amelia took some time to construct, since her character was a bit challenging to do. She has both ideals of freedom and justice, which conflict at times, and creates a difficult contrast to create, because of her personality. However, with the fact that the World Government was insanely corrupted, the possibility that her creating a new, more peaceful authority through the collapse of the World Government, allowing freedom while enforcing justice for the wronged.

Major Battles
Besides the Gygas Collapse, and the Aos Si Rebellion, none so far.

Quotes
"I spent so long thinking that all pirates were evil, and all Marines was good. I spent so long looking at the world in black and white that I grew blind to the shades of grey that created the rest of the world."

"The world and the bad guys, and the bystanders. It's a cold, cruel place filled with villains the likes of which you've never seen, and corrupt vermin that eat away at people. But it's my home, and I'll fight for it to my last damn breath."

"I've seen enough. The Marines are corrupt, filled with power-hungry maniacs that use justice to cover up their greed. The World Government bends over backwards to cater to inbred wanna-be astronauts that don't know their foot from their ass. The islands suffer from their cruelty, their arrogance. I've seen enough. I've Had enough."

"I am Amelia Maxwell, former Junior Seaman of the Marine Task Force Gygas, and a member of the Palette Pirates! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM THIS ISLAND!"
