Ameila Walker – 5’5” 115 lbs, dark brown hair, green eyes
Amelia’s father, Captain William G. Walker, was being sent to America to oversee the settling of the English navy in the colony of Virginia. They say it was because he was the best person for the job and while that may be true, it was also because his daughter, Amelia, was causing a ruckus among the other young women in England. Amelia felt that the women shouldn’t be promised to a young man without their approval, that they should have a choice in whom they marry. Another thing that Amelia has been known to do is walk the streets without a chaperone, something a young lady should never do! Amelia claims she is safe because she carries a dagger with her, another thing a respectable young woman wouldn’t do! But, before he left there was to be a ball in his honor. Amelia was told she had to attend the ball and to behave like a “normal” young lady!
The ball was tonight and it was time for Amelia to start getting ready. Her maid came in and helped her bathe and then assisted her into her evening wear, a red gown with black brocade all over it. Her maid tried to talk her into wearing something not so bold and daring, the bodice of the dress pushed up her breasts so they were nearly spilling out. Amelia refused and also insisted that her hair be swept up on the top of her head little tendrils along the side of her face. Her skin was smooth and pale since it was not allowed to be exposed to the sun. She carefully applied some rouge to her cheeks and some bright red stain to her lips. She had sent her maid away before she applied the make up as she would have complained and tried to wipe it off Amelia. Before she walked out her bedroom door she stepped into her slippers and grabbed her black shawl. She knew her parents had left early as they had to be there to greet everyone. She was riding to the ball with her brother, James, who was three years younger than Amelia.
When Amelia’s brother saw her he was not surprised at how she was dressed, he knew she liked to push things at times. “Dad isn’t going to be happy about your dress. Why do you always go out of your way to bring attention to yourself and make Dad look bad?” James asked. He was dressed in a deep blue coat and breeches and a white ruffled shirt. “I am not trying to make Dad look bad, I just want to have the right to wear what I please,” replied Amelia. They walked outside and James assisted Amelia into the carriage that took them to the ball.
Upon arrival the driver comes around and opens the door for James and he in turn helps Amelia out of the carriage. He escorts her into the ball. Everything is bright and beautiful; the ladies are all wearing their best dresses and dripping in their finest jewels. The gentlemen are in their dress uniforms or wearing apparel similar to James. The musicians are set up in the far left corner of the ballroom and there are many couples dancing. Amelia sees her parents dancing around the ballroom. Her father sees them enter and gives her a look that shows his disapproval of her dress. He will not say anything while they are here, but she knows he will be yelling once they get home. Amelia doesn’t care; she likes her dress and can see that many of the men also like her dress. Amelia hands her shawl to the attendant and walks all the way in on James’ arm. Once inside James sees some friends so walks over to talk to them while Amelia stays off to one side watching the people dance. Robert Cook, a junior officer, approaches her, tells her how lovely she looks and asks her to dance. Knowing that dancing will keep her away from her parents, Amelia accepts. Dance after dance men come up and request Amelia to be their partner and each time she accepts. After a few hours of dancing, Robert Cook approaches Amelia again and asks if she would like a drink and some fresh air. She agrees, so they walk over and get some punch and then head out to the gardens. The path is lit up with lanterns hung on the trees and Robert leads Amelia to a bench out of site from the ballroom doors, but not too far that they can’t hear the music softly in the background.
As they are sitting there Amelia shivers slightly when a cool breezes brushes across her skin. Robert puts his arm around her and pulls her close, “Don’t want you to get cold” he states as he looks down at her breasts that are now next to his chest. He wraps his other arm across the front of Amelia so her arms are now trapped at her sides and he bends his head down to kiss her. Amelia turns her head to the side and he kisses her cheek. “What do you think you are doing? Let me go!” Amelia demands! “Oh come on, don’t tell me you didn’t want this to happen. You have been flaunting yourself all night and this dress, this dress says you definitely want attention!” Robert leans in to kiss her again in a way that she can’t turn her face away.
