Amelia Ravenhart is studious, aloof, and cynical. It's not that she isn't friendly, but that she hasn't really experienced much warmth to what it is, She likes people. She comes from a long line of British archaeology scholars, a decidedly dry and dispassionate life. But now that she is at university, she feels the ice flow of her heart thawing and is gradually letting go of the rigidity of her strict, and frankly boring, upbringing. Amelia will always seek to excel academically, but she is ready to experience life, and perhaps even love.
