Amélie Yuuka Tachibana

"After I eat all of these I'm going to buy more...and eat them too!"

Name: Amélie (pronounced similarly to Emily) Yuuka Tachibana
Nicknames: Piggy, eating machine, Mimi
Age: 22
Orientation: Bisexual
Desired Rank/Job: Hammel Trainer
Powers: Super Gluttony! It is quite simple really, Amélie gains superhuman attributes by eating, eating a lot. She is blessed with an almost supernatural metabolism, whereby her body rapidly draws out the energy from the vast quantities of food she eats and converts it into sheer physical power. Regardless of what she consumes, carbohydrates, proteins or sugary foods (sugar maxes her powers quicker but lasts for a much shorter duration) she will temporarily grant herself a sudden boost in her physical capabilities, something that is almost nearing superhuman strength and peak speed (capable of lifting up to 30 tons and sprinting at 25 mph depending on how much she eats). Amélie has to constantly eat, what she eats does not entirely matter since her digestive tract is practically immune to food poisoning and bloating. This massive consumption of food and overwhelming exertion of her body does leave her incredibly fatigued however, and she requires hefty amounts of sleep to retain what was burnt during the use of her 'super strength'. It is a continuous cycle of extreme eating, superhuman physique and hibernation.
Pros:

• The vast quantities of food she consumes does not affect her appearance, rather it seems to liven her up. She looks healthy (and happy) when eating and somehow manages to retain her very skinny, elegant body.
  
• Not only does she love eating but it grants her a significant boost in her physicality, breaching superhuman levels, if only temporarily.
  
• The almost immeasurable amount of nutrients within her body is enough to keep her energised for distinguished amounts of time. Amélie does not require sleep, only taking the occasional cat nap, and usually only ever sleeps (usually for an entire day) if she has activated her the energy into physical strength.
  
• Due to the extreme nature of this power Amélie has been granted a higher resistance to food poisoning and indigestion and whilst it may occur on the rare occasion it will be little more than a sore tummy.
  

Cons:

• Her massive bouts of physical energy drain a lot out of her and if she exerts herself over a period of half an hour she will suffer heavy fatigue. It is not uncommon for Amélie to faint from exhaustion if she exceeds the half hour time limit, twenty minutes if she only consumed sugary foods beforehand.
  
• The sheer exertion of her body can cause muscles to tear and ligaments to bruise if she does not control herself. The stress on her body whilst utilising her momentary super physicality can be dangerous if she does not pace the energy output.
  
• Having no form of sustenance over a period of half an hour can make Amélie moody and quite pale, her body craves food and not feeding it can actually make her feel horribly sick after two hours of no meal or snack.
  
• Whilst it isn't exactly the most worrisome negative to this power, the sheer amount of money she has to put in to constantly feed herself can be very costly and although she can survive on any form of nutrients she does consume the same amount of food as a family of five.

General Appearance: Standing at a healthy 5'5" and weighing approximately 95 lbs Amélie is the very definition of elegant, which is exceedingly curious considering what her power entails. She has an almost elf-like quality to her, taking the best physical attributes of her Japanese father and her French mother. Her porcelain skin and shimmering black hair are gifted from her mother's side whilst her seemingly endless legs and bee-stung lips are from her father. Such a unique beauty is made all the more radiant by her exuberance and exaggerated movements. Her almond coloured eyes are nestled under deep set eyelids, slender brows framing the upper portion of her easy face. Her hair is usually styled into a sleek deep-side part bob which is not only easy to maintain but accentuates the simple beauty of her face.

She has a slender figure, elegant limbs moving with a graceful fluidity and fingers always fiddling with a snack of some sort. Her defined collarbones rest upon dainty shoulders, perky B cup breasts happily seated in a pleasant symmetry with one another. Her flat tummy, trained at the core by her excessive yoga is toned and supple. Her midsection is curved in the right places, leading into her lengthy slender legs and her regularly pedicured feet.

Her style is an adorable mish mash of pastel chic and feminine rock star and isn't adverse to staying in a simple t-shirt as she is to getting all dressed up. She rarely puts on makeup, only ever using the most subtle eyeliner and and lipstick to accentuate her already beautiful face. Her skin routine is a constant part of her day, she already drinks a monstrous amount of water and never forgets to cleanse, moisturise and exfoliate daily. She is rather obsessive about her skin and clothing and whilst her excessive eating could pose risk of food stains and mess she has trained herself to go at a rather acceptable pace.

Personality: Easygoing, friendly and dryly good-humored, Amélie treats her life as though it were an extended vacation, one where she can constantly enjoy the little things in life. She has no desire for power nor does she seek riches, all Amélie wants for herself and her friends is pleasurable contentment in life. Something of an epicurean, she does not devote her full energies to the pursuit of honing her abilities or worrying about the stresses of life, she is quite simply a young woman brimming with zeal, one who chooses the path of joy, generosity and culinary delights over many other things. However, beneath the easygoing exterior lay an intelligent young woman experienced in the ways of the world, a seasoned and wily adventurer, and an immensely talented entertainer if one were to ever need some lighthearted fun.

Although she appears hedonistic, Amélie's personal philosophies are ones of living life to the fullest, and following a path of your own choosing. She is a firm believer that everyone has the power to create one's own destiny and that they and they only should be held responsible for their actions if things were to backfire. She appears laid back because she understands that there are things in life she cannot control, but she also believes that a person is fully responsible for the parts they can. Probably as definitive of Amélie's character as her love for the good times is her startling sage advice and kooky wisdom. Amélie is known by her wider family for her sometimes cryptic proverbs (always food related) and lengthy anecdotes and often times these small sparks of knowledge prove extremely well thought of if one were to observe them in retrospect.

Her uncanny intelligence and easygoing nature often make it easy to make friends, not only is she open and always willing for a conversation, but is incredibly invested in the lives of those who let her in. She still, however, retains a level of humility and will never overstate herself, she is simply an honest individual who wants to spread the joy, and cookies. One of her major priorities is the wellbeing and success of other Metahumans, particularly that of its younger members. Amélie, who was once (and still is to some degree) a youthful and impressionable girl, understands the pressures the next generation have to face and she puts it on herself to assist them in any way, spanning from their homework all the way to their understanding of how to properly make sushi. Unlike many of the other cynical adults Amélie finds it uplifting to love, respect and nurture those younger than her, often spoiling and doting on them like younger siblings.

She is however a bit too gullible for her own good, almost to a comical extreme. Having so much faith in others has somewhat given her rose tinted glasses. Her gullibility, whilst funny, can and has been abused before and although she has been hurt by some cruel pranks it is in her mind that such things were merely games. Amélie's nonchalance to the more bland and tedious parts of life is a great downfall. She has to be interested in something to actually work on it and it is not uncommon for bills to be ignored and paperwork to be left late. But she's working on it, slowly.

Likes:

• Eating - This really needs no explanation. Amélie is constantly eating, whether it be a heavy meal or a light snack. She attempts to maintain some semblance to eating etiquette but her overwhelming gluttony often takes precedence.
  
• Cooking - Without cooking one won't have hearty meals or unique culinary hybrids to devour. When she is not entirely focused on eating, yoga or some other random activity Amélie will be mulling over cookbooks and attempting to replicate to the best of her ability.
  
• Yoga - It helps calm the spirit and strengthen the body. She is now exceptionally flexible and dexterous because of her disciplined yoga routine (two hours a day) and is more than willing to teach those willing to learn.
  
• Parties - Whilst Amélie maintains clarity of mind and inner peace whilst doing yoga she also relishes in the excitement of partying. Parties mean fun times, fun people and food.
  
• People watching - People are interesting creatures, some are fat whilst others are thin. Some can't maintain eye contact where other's hope to invade your personal space. Amélie loves watching people, discovering their unique quirks and enjoying their interaction with their surroundings.
  
• Foreign Films - Being half French and half Japanese has introduced her to a multitude of films which are rather obscure to the a mainstream western market. She collects films of all genres and particularly enjoys the Samurai genre.
  
• Spontaneity - Amélie gets a thrill out of spontaneous acts and often seeks a new adventure on a daily basis, finding excitement in the most trivial activities.
  

Dislikes:

• Paperwork - Paperwork is dull, monotonous and repetitive. Amélie finds little joy in reading fine print and rarely, if ever, remembers to complete said task.
  
• Diets - Diets mean restricting what she consumes and that is often a painful experience. Her body has been fashioned to eat extremely large portions of food so the idea of rationing her intake is an undoubtably painful one.
  
• Confrontations - Amélie dislikes fights, whether they be verbal or physical and will try her best to diffuse such tense situations with some light hearted cheeriness. If fights continue she can get quite stressed and may lash out at both parties with her terrifying tantrums.
  
• Ginger - The one food item that she cannot stand and the reasons as to why are still unknown.
  
• Wasted food - Nothing worse than seeing her source of energy go to waste, especially if its food that is still fresh and edible. Amélie knows not to take such things for granted and it irks her to see food go to waste.
  
• Public transport - oftentimes Amélie has found herself barred from eating on buses or trains and these situations are particularly frustrating for someone who is constantly gorging herself.
  

Strengths:

• Generosity - Sharing is caring and Amélie makes it a personal quest to liven up people's days by giving them food, warm conversation and her unabided attention.
  
• Dexterity/Flexibility - Years of Yoga has honed her slim body so that it has near unparalleled balance and flexibility.
  
• Easy Going - it is a known fact that Amélie is a relaxed and tolerant individual, barely getting annoyed or angry at others for the sheer fact that such emotional angst makes her tummy hurt.
  
• Culinarian - She is trained in the delicate procedures of preparing, cooking and plating up meals for not only herself but others as well. She prides herself in knowing the most minutes flavours and textures within a dish and hopes to spread her food based knowledge to anyone willing to know.
  
• Book smarts - Amélie is quite studious, the sheer amount of nutrients within her body stimulating her mind and brain activity to impressive levels. She is well versed in history, food science and cinema and is quite a beast during trivia nights.
  

Weaknesses:

• Gullibility - a painfully humourous fault of hers and one which has led to some cruel tricks played by others. Her overhelming trust in people and relative naievity has rendered Amélie someone to trust the word of another fairly easily.
  
• Rose tinted glasses - Amélie only ever sees the pleasantries of life, rarely settling down to focus on the hard truths and faults that scar society. Whilst its more of a personal fault it can be jarring when others require her to be objective and rational.
  
• Compulsive - Amélie's gluttony is an expected addiction with regards to her power but at times her need to quell the endless hunger can be overhelming and time consuming.
  
• Food - food gives her strength and underlies many of the metahuman traits her body experiences, without food she'd be sick and like a starved rodent she'll devour whatever is placed in front of her, after saying 'thank you' of course.
  

Fears:

• Choking - Above all Amélie fears that her source of power would one day be her end. Choking is not a pleasant experience and the young woman shudders at the thought of dying like so.
  
• Clowns - Amélie suffers from Coulrophobia, the fear of clowns. It is rather strange considering she's already bountifully joyful and pleasant but these over exaggerated beings absolutely terrify her.
  

Secret:

• Lottery winnings - Amélie has kept this relatively well kept secret under the covers and won't flaunt it simply because she doesn't find it that important. After a lucky lottery ticket won her $4.6 million she left the winnings in her bank. She'd occasionally use the wealth to invest in some local food businesses but other than that she isn't exactly sure what she'll do with it.
  
• Virgin - A surprise considering her chemistry with many people she has met, Amélie simply hasn't engaged in coitus, not finding anyone important enough to share her 'Vageegee' with. She's only ever been to second base, so her sexual experience is rather low.
  

Father: Keisuke Tachibana (44) - Currently living with his wife in Kyoto. A portly gentleman with a big heart and a keen business mind.
Mother: Selina Vigoroux (42) - Beautiful model turned Beautician Selina spends her days working hard and fretting over her husband.

Hors d'oeuvre Before the boisterous yoga obsessed glutton was born her parents were two lovestruck strangers, young and passionate individuals who were seemingly thrust together by fate and an irrevocable love for one another. Keisuke was a young businessman representing his small but successful fitness franchise whilst Selina was a travelling model, a teenage sensation rocking the glamourous haute fashion of Paris, Milan and London. The chance meeting between the two occurred on the eve of a crisp spring day, both rushing to their respective jobs. His business was but a small supporter of the couture fashion show and Selina was one of the fresh faced new faces for the modelling world. Through a mutual acquaintance both were brought together to advertise the varying aspects of the event. Whilst it was admittedly awkward at first, the charming and humble young Japanese man could not help but instantly fall head over heels for the gorgeous young model. Numbers were swapped and a night of heated passion was the start of their relationship, one which has lasted till this day.

They wed two years later, still completely smitten with one another and relocated to Kyoto. Selina was now a spokesperson for a organic skincare range and Keisuke was rising up the ladder of the corporate fitness world. Soon enough, after several ties, Selian discovered she was pregnant with a girl. A testament for their love for one another.

Entrée Amélie was born a frail child, small and delicate. She possessed the combined beauty of both parents and yet, remained sickly for most of her infant years. The young parents, 22 and 20, whose inexperience in raising a little human was lacking found it deep within themselves to protect and nurture their beautiful little girl even more. Amélie, although fragile and tiny, was a happy baby, giggling and cooing whenever her parents were around, always wanting to catch their attention with her unwavering adorableness.

Her childhood was a happy one, brimming with boundless joy and enthusiasm one would expect from a little girl. Whilst she was still a bit smaller than her peers Amélie made up for it with her big personality and her growing appetite. Whilst her powers were yet to manifest she was already someone to eat till they dropped and for the latter half of her childhood both parents worried that she would engorge herself too much. She was known as the little piggy by her peers and cousins, a curious girl who would always have a treat stuck in her mouth and another two in either hand. Selina taught her to behave like a proper lady and Keisuke often took the little girl on runs in the mountains with him, something that has become a bit of a pastime whenever they meet.

She was, however, taught at a young age to be respectful and always attentive to her table manners. She was her parents little princess, as hyperactive as a squirrel and as innocent as a puppy. As expected to someone with parents like her own Amélie was introduced to the backstage of the fitness and the fashion world, following her parents around during their working days and sharing her snacks with anyone passing by. It came as little surprise once her powers began to manifest at the age of twelve.

Main Course Amélie's growing appetite became astonishing, such a dainty little thing that could consume meals that would make a grown man shudder. Both parents, fitness junkies in their own right, worried that their beautiful daughter was depressed and eating away some pent up negativity. They were wrong however, Amélie's hunger was what spurred her forward and after a visit to a doctor they discovered just how special their little girl was. She was a metahuman, possessing a rather unique ability. Harnessing her physical prowess was a challenge to start off with, such a dainty frame barely containing the raw strength that possessed her girlish muscles and it wasn't until she had managed to utilise her superhuman physicality for over a minute did the trackers knock on their doorstep.

Apprehensive at first at having their only child taken away from them Keisuke and Selina spent several nights planning and debating sending their daughter to the branch in Japan. Deep inside they knew it was the best thing for their little girl and eventually gave the school their blessings, hoping that Amélie would enjoy this new adventure and grow up to become the amazing person she was always meant to be.

After their farewells and promises of weekly visits the doting parents relinquished their hungry little daughter to the Japanese school, knowing full well that Amélie would make friends in no time. How right they were. Almost instantly, the strange half Japanese half french candy addict became her grade's shiny new toy. Such a skinny girl eating more food than a sumo wrestler!? Amélie adored her newfound friends, learning to cook for them when they were hungry and study alongside them where they struggled alone. It was during the second year of junior high did she receive a special invitation to become part of an exchange program with the Hammel institute in the USA.

She had studied hard and progressed with properly maintaining her power and after a lengthy discussion with both parents Amélie was given permission to set sail and join the young metahumans in Vermont. She was giddy and nervous at the same time, new friends to meet and new food to eat and once the plane had landed the fifteen year old exchange student quickly became engrossed in the foreign rituals of westernised living. Whilst her accent was still rather off and her kooky warmth took some time getting used to Amélie found Hammel to be her second home, a place for fun and friendship.

Years passed and eventually Amélie graduated the American institute, blessing her year group with a massive feast in honour of their hard work and love for one another. She maintained a healthy relationship with the staff at the school and after much thought the quirky glutton decided that she would return to America to train those younger than her. After three years catching up with family, experimenting her mother's beauty products and running around mountains with her father the young woman thought it best to return to the place that had come to be her second home. She had undergone special training within the institute in Japan and became more engrossed in her weekly yoga routine, knowing full well that peace of mind and physical clarity were what was required once she returned to Pilot ridge.

Dessert.. Eventually Amélie returned to the states like she promised and has settled down as one of the fresh faced young trainers within the school. Combining her Yoga with her temporarily immense physical prowess Amélie has somewhat fashioned a niche role as an unorthodox trainer like no other. She calls her parents nightly on Skype and is constantly dreaming of romantic encounter just like their own.

But at the moment, she's fine with her food and Mr. Tubs the grumpy cat, love would come rushing to her one day...she just knows it.
