Amiabelle For-Now
Basic Info
Amiabelle is the daughter of Ami-mom (born 1517, musician/percussionist) and Ami-dad (born 1513, troupe manager). She has no siblings. She was born on the For-Now compound, which is the headquarters for the For-Now traveling troupe of entertainers and performers. Ami's shoulder-length hair is reddish-brown with lighter brown highlights and tips. She usually wears it in an easy-to-care-for bob. She describes her complexion as "a shade lighter than maple syrup -- the good syrup, though, not the cheap syrup".
History
The For-Now troupe was established in the 1540s by Ami's parents. While the troupe is comprised of about 50 performers (including actors, singers, dancers and musicians) and 45 crewmembers (including set builders, drivers, kitchen crew, teachers and animal handlers), just about everyone does at least 2 to 3 jobs. A singer may double as a set builder and cook, a musician may also be a carriage driver or teacher. There are also at least 15 children in the compound, offspring of the troupe members. Many of the children are also performers. Membership is somewhat fluid, with members coming and going, although the core group of about 75 have been with the group since its inception.
As is the case with many traveling performers, the troupe is not necessarily always accepted by society as a whole, especially by ruling class and authority figures. Show people are typically considered to be somewhat... odd. That being said, the For-Now group is one of the more highly respected (relatively speaking), simply because their productions are fantastic!
Personality
Amiabelle is usually pretty chipper and upbeat. She will often try to find the good in any situation.
