Amelia “Andy” Wellstone is an orphan, who grew up with her twin brother Alistair?. Her private belief, which is undoubtedly false, is that their mother was an unwed noblewoman who was afraid to claim them as her own. She is bitter about this; almost as bitter as she is about Alistair’s death at the hands of Isle Bassington — the half-elven ruler of the Paridonesian underworld.

She has dark hair and dark eyes, and a sarcastic mouth. She is 5’8”. She is nineteen years old. She spends most of her time in drag, passing as a male both in underworld circles (which she is infiltrating, with the intent of exacting revenge on Bassington) and in noble circles (which she is robbing blind, choosing her targets at the parties she brazenly crashes). Think Raffles crossed with the popular myth of the Chevalier d’Eon crossed with La Maupin.

Of late, she has become deeply impressed with the Duchess Wargrave and, by reputation, the Lady Corbridge. Who knew that women could so brazenly flout the rules of Paridonian society?

The mathematically minded may wish to read her character sheet.
