brief history: Ama's parents were originally from Hickstead and were the cliché story of rags to riches. They managed to build their brand name of Bel Amour at after years of hard work and a few failures. Once they became situated into the world of fashion, the two traveled the world before settling down in Washington DC.
Ama was born a few years after Aeton and Georgia settled in DC with their family. The young woman's childhood was lavish, but she was never allowed to brag about her status and was never catered to like most of the kids in her social standing. Ama had to work hard for her money an allowance. Her parents knew all too well that not everyone as blessed with their living situation, so they blessed their humble behavior in their daughter.
Despite coming from wealth, she attended the local public school which a few other rich kids did attend. Of course, most of them didn't want to be there, but they were there to help their parent's image of mingling with the lower class.
You could say Ama was one of the so-called "it" girls in school, but she wasn't that person because she wanted to or made herself be. She was there because she knew how to respect people and were able to blend in. If anything, most people thought she was of lower class for most of her school life. It was during high school that her status was better known. Of course, it didn't change her life too much. Maybe a few added fits of jealousy from other peers, but that's it.
Around high school was when Ama began showing a stronger interest in her family business. At the age of 16, she was already having a large pool of customers. While other people were planning for college, Ama was training to take over the family empire. She skipped out of a college education which surprised a lot of individuals. Being born into a trading family, she had many years of experience. Ama, of course, is one of those people that believe you can never stop learning.
After a bit, Ama and her family moved back to Hickstead. Her parents felt that it was time to go back to their roots in hopes of Ama running their shop on her own. They help her on occasion, but let her manage the employees and other big decisions.
Currently, Ama is running her family business and enjoying life in Hickstead. If she's not at work, she's out in town talking to local business owners and trying to connect with the locals. Her humble behavior is still as high as ever.
She is currently dating Jonathan St. Croix, an ex- Navy Seal. The two finally made it official two years ago after years of friendship and Jonathon ending his engagement to model Charlotte O’ Shea, who cheated on him a month before they were supposed to wed.

dislikes: Chocolate bars, Diamonds (white, yellow, pink,etc)
strengths:
Sewing • Girl was born with threading a needle. Ama comes from a long bloodline of naturally crafty people, mainly from her mother's side. She has been sewing and crafting for 20 years, professionally since she was 16.
Watercolor • Another blood-related talent, Ama started watercolor at a young age, honing her skills in her teen years.
Design • Design was a talent that took Ama a long time to master. Despite being a good painter, it took her until her early twenties to get her style of design and to put onto paper.
weaknesses:
Music • She's tried and has failed every time. There is no musical talent in her blood.
Following her advice • Ama is a great advice giver in certain situations, surprisingly well in the love department. Sadly, this information does not come from personal experience since she's new to that area, more so from being in the bridal business. She's just horrible at following it herself.
secrets: Ama had a miscarriage a year into dating Jonathan. It still kills her emotionally. Even though she has the three un-biological children via Jonathan, Ama always wanted one biologically.
fears: Spiders, snakes, and wasps. Hate is an understatement, trust me.
habits: Only wears flats in winter or when exercising, has at least 4 cups of coffee or tea a day, watches TV when working on commissions, always sews in her slippers
overall personality: Ama is a kind woman. She's passionate about her job and her family. Being raised in a humble home, despite being from wealth, Ama is far from the snobby rich female. She cares greatly for the community, often volunteering and putting on Gala's to raise money for charity.
Motherly, Ama cares greatly for Jonathan's triplets: Logan, Xavier, and Tyler. They're her would, even though they are not by blood to her or Jonathan. Of course, she would love to have a child of her blood; but she is still recovering from the miscarriage that happened a year ago. Despite the emotional pain, it has only brought her and Jonathan together even closer.[/ul]
Oh, Mon Dieu, this morning was a long one. The store wasn’t open, but there were a lot of dresses that needed to be made and fixed. One of her neighbor’s nieces was getting married in the fall, and her dress was something. There was a lot of hand sewing involved with her gown, especially in the bodice. Ama was surprised she wasn't blind after looking at so many Swarovski stones, pearls, and silver thread.
She finished off a few of the pearls she had in her dish before looking at her fingers. There were a few Band-Aids on her fingers already, and it looked like she needed to bandage. Even after many years of sewing, Ama still had a few slip ups, and after working small applique items, her fingers got beat up a bit.
After Ama had finished washing her hands and reapplying the bandages, she figured she needed to get out of the house. Coffee and a pastry sounded nice right now. Despite it being lunch hour, she could wait. Plus, Selena knew her and how Ama could wait. If anything, Ama would sit at a window seat with her crocheting or a book.
Ama packed her crochet bag and re-did her hair as it looked a bit disheveled from sitting in front of the TV while sewing. When she stepped outside, the sun was blinding, making her wince in discomfort. After locating her sunglasses and putting them on, Ama hopped into her car. She lowered the top to feel the refreshing air on her face.
At the coffeehouse, Ama put the top up on her car and locked it before entering the shop. There was already a line, which was expected. Not wanting to disturb anyone, she sat in her regular spot that already had an indent of her bum from her sitting there a lot. Ama could easily people watch which was a fun activity for her. Getting comfy, she put her crochet bag on the table and started on the next few rows of the afghan she was making for the kiddos.
