Amelia de Beaufort

Amelia de Beaufort is the daughter of Julie de Beaufort and Poseidon by birth, but the daughter of Elizabeth by upbringing and choice. She grows from the guarded heir of Mermaid Country into a war hero, continental ruler, and Stage 5 defender of Earth. Her long conflict with Neo Hargraves is rooted less in simple hatred than in grief, dependence, and the conviction that trusting his plans repeatedly costs her the people she loves.

Biography

Mermaid Country and the collapse of the royal family

Amelia first encounters Neo in an underwater cave while traveling with her bodyguard, Clara Winterfeld. She immediately identifies him as a possible intruder and prepares to fight, but the presence around his awakening leaves both women unable to move. Her suspicion follows him into Elizabeth's court. Amelia eavesdrops on their private conversation and forcefully rejects Elizabeth's teasing suggestion that the two might marry. The episode introduces both her guarded temperament and the central place Elizabeth's approval occupies in her emotional life. (Chapters 7–11)

The royal family is already built around a secret Amelia does not know. Julie, Elizabeth's twin, entrusted her infant daughter and a Tremor-ranked spell to Elizabeth after marrying Poseidon. Elizabeth raised Amelia as her own and sealed the child's blessing to conceal her origin. When Clara and Paul join the rebellion against the Tyrant Queen, Amelia experiences their actions as the betrayal of siblings who nearly killed their mother. She wants revenge, but Elizabeth refuses to execute them and instead stages the Tyrant Queen's death. (Chapters 16–22)

Amelia leaves Mermaid Country with Elizabeth and Neo, yet she does not use the regime's collapse as an opportunity to take the throne. She returns to Demigod Academy and tries to resume the path she had before the rebellion. The decision matters because it separates her loyalty to Elizabeth from a desire for royal authority: she gives up an immediate succession claim while carrying the anger and instability of the lost household with her. Her early gratitude toward Neo grows from the fact that, however disruptive he is, his intervention keeps Elizabeth alive. (Chapters 21–27, 38, and 46)

Academy duty and an uneasy alliance

At the academy, Amelia develops a public role apart from Mermaid royalty. She participates in missions and serves on the Student Council, where Percival assigns her to guide Neo through his first weeks. She is willing to rebuke Percival for sulking when Neo performs better than he does, a small but revealing act of fairness. Although Neo's presence remains awkward, Amelia does not reduce every judgment to their family history; she can recognize competence and insist that another leader do the same. (Chapters 52–54, 145, and 150)

That working relationship never becomes uncomplicated trust. Neo connects Amelia's academy life to the secrets surrounding Elizabeth, and his attempts to keep parts of his life separate make her wary. When Elizabeth is later hospitalized, Amelia confronts him because he was the last person known to have met her. Her concern is not abstract suspicion: the parent who held their damaged family together is again endangered by events Amelia cannot control. Academy responsibility gives Amelia more independence, but Elizabeth's vulnerability keeps pulling her back into the role of a daughter demanding answers from people with greater knowledge and power. (Chapters 171, 186, and 197–198)

Elizabeth's rescue, death, and the long war

When Elizabeth's soul is corrupted by the Void, Charlotte proposes secretly moving her so Neo can attempt a cure. Neo refuses to proceed without Amelia's permission. Amelia initially sees the plan as another dangerous choice made around her mother and challenges the apparent contradiction of an heir of Death fearing death. Beneath the hostility is powerlessness: every option requires her to entrust Elizabeth to people who cannot promise success. She eventually tells Neo to do what he wants, granting the permission without pretending that her confidence has been restored. (Chapters 344, 351, and 385–390)

Elizabeth survives that crisis but later dies after the Tartarus campaign. Amelia breaks down beside her body, and Neo gives her Intent memories of Elizabeth's struggle in Tartarus. Those experiences reach Amelia as dreams whose truth she cannot initially verify. Instead of providing closure, they leave her imagining her mother dying repeatedly while standing beside the same man Amelia already associates with dangerous plans. The later confirmation that the dreams were real deepens both her anger at Neo and her hatred of herself for having lacked the strength to help. (Chapters 433 and 544; Chapter 715)

Amelia nevertheless remains capable of protecting others. She takes an assassination attack meant for Layla, and after Henry Hargraves dies, she agrees to keep Layla close. Across the long intercontinental war she becomes a celebrated defender rather than remaining merely Elizabeth's bereaved child. The eventual disclosure that Julie was her birth mother destabilizes Amelia's understanding of her family, but it does not erase the lived bond with Elizabeth. Instead, loss, revelation, and duty combine into the colder personality she carries into later history. (Chapters 567–571)

Ruler of Earth and reunion with Neo

After Luminera conquers Earth, Amelia eventually holds the crown of the Eastern Continent. Her rule requires negotiations with other continents while Earth is fractured by civil conflict and threatened by the Universal Alliance. When Neo returns in an unfamiliar form, she treats him as a rogue god and demands that he leave or die. She then works with Layla and Jack Hanma to contain the intruder. The aggression is a ruler's defensive response before it is a personal reunion: Amelia cannot recognize him, but she can recognize the danger of an unexplained god entering her world. (Chapters 688 and 695–698)

Recognition brings no easy reconciliation. Amelia remembers that Neo saved Elizabeth, yet also believes his choices sent her into the Void Templars and Tartarus. Henry died wanting to see Neo once more while Neo was absent, and Amelia spent years converting grief into relentless training. Percival's account of Tartarus confirms that her recurring dreams were memories rather than hallucinations. She tells Neo that every act of trust has left another scar and refuses to rely on his promise to restore Elizabeth. Neo's insight into her Blood Sea reveals the deeper wound: she is trapped by the dead and directs at him a hatred rooted largely in her own guilt. (Chapters 703, 715, and 718)

The Supreme of Water offers Amelia a different source of strength. In exchange for one future task, formalized by an existence vow, Amelia becomes the Supreme's Loved One and gains access to a portion of her power. The Supreme explicitly recognizes Amelia's rapid rise to Stage 5 while warning her not to mistake comparison with extraordinary peers for mediocrity. Amelia accepts despite distrusting the bargain, because the bond offers a path beyond strength fueled by self-hatred. She then chooses to join the coming Alliance conflict, arguing that Earth will become a target whether its defenders hide or fight. (Chapters 724 and 730)

The Divine War and reunion with Elizabeth

At one Divine War site, the Supreme of Water briefly controls Amelia's body and directs a plan to recover Felix before resurrection becomes impossible. Amelia regains control and unfolds a Complete World against Laplace. Its clear blue sea and red Blood Sea encode a law that water is the source of all life, allowing her to drain life energy and turn the ocean into attacks and defenses. She fights not to prove individual superiority, but to conceal Arthur's movement and buy the seconds her allies need. (Chapters 739, 741, and 746–747)

Laplace exposes how recently acquired Amelia's power is. He destabilizes her World with simple movements, identifies the mismatch between its law and the external Blood Sea supporting it, and tells her that she lacks the understanding to fuse them properly. Amelia continues even as the World cracks, raising sea walls and automatic barriers around Percival and trying to preserve Felix and the rest of the team. Her insistence that she still has tasks left becomes the measure of the battle: she cannot overpower a former Supreme, but she can keep acting under pressure long enough for a coordinated resistance to continue. (Chapters 746–752)

Later revelations show that Julie had prepared Amelia as a possible Devil of Cruelty through a chain of trials, including the Ouroboros mark and conflicts with Void Gods, Soul Weapons, and Grim Reapers. Neo's interventions disrupt that intended sequence, and Amelia never receives the title as an attained state. After the war, her surviving friends do not cure the depression created by accumulated loss; Persephone continues helping her. The distinction is important because military survival does not undo the psychological cost of becoming Earth's protector. (Chapters 781 and 802)

Elizabeth's eventual return provides the reconciliation Amelia could not achieve through power. Elizabeth explains her origin, the Witch of Pride, and the truth about Julie without withholding anything, then apologizes for hiding Amelia's birth mother. Amelia answers that Julie is not the mother she means: Elizabeth is the one who stayed and protected her. She still requires months of care, but she begins speaking about places she wants to see and a future she wants to live. Her final development is therefore not another rank increase; it is the recovery of hope and an explicit choice of lived family over biology. (Chapters 814–815 and 839)

Appearance and personality

Amelia is recognized in later history by snow-white or silver hair, blood-red eyes, and a cold expression that strongly recalls Elizabeth. When the Supreme of Water possesses her, her eyes turn blue and return to red when Amelia regains control, making the change in agency visibly explicit. Her Complete World likewise externalizes her emotional imagery: a clear sea lies below a red, bubbling Blood Sea, while an image associated with Elizabeth appears within the domain during her defense of Earth. (Chapters 688, 695–697, 741, and 746)

Her reserve is easily mistaken for lack of feeling. In practice Amelia is intensely compassionate, protective, and vulnerable to responsibility for deaths she could not prevent. She can be blunt with Percival, suspicious of Neo, and controlling toward Layla, but those behaviors repeatedly emerge from fear of losing another person. Years of warfare make her an able negotiator and ruler, while grief makes rest dangerous because it leaves her alone with memory. Her recovery begins only when she accepts that endurance and strength did not eliminate her need for family and sustained care. (Chapters 150, 567–571, 715–718, 730, and 802–815)

Powers and limitations

Water, Blood Sea, and healing

Amelia's core affinity is Water. Her techniques create and control seas, tidal walls, vortices, condensed life-energy weapons, and automatic protective barriers around allies. In her Complete World, the law “Water is the source of all life” lets the sea drain life energy from beings inside it. She also has enough life-restoring power that the Supreme's battle plan treats her as capable of reviving Felix if his body is recovered quickly. This healing is time-sensitive and not absolute; damage from Laplace can exceed what she can safely reverse. (Chapters 741 and 746–750)

The Blood Sea supplies an additional external flow and reflects Amelia's connection to loss. It can reinforce her sea and rain crimson power into the World, but Laplace identifies a technical incompatibility: Amelia lacks either the understanding or the corresponding Concept needed to fuse that external source perfectly with her World's life law. The result is enormous output without mature integration. Her power can slow a superior opponent and shelter allies, yet a former Supreme can destabilize the domain and exploit the gaps in her comprehension. (Chapters 718 and 746–748)

Loved One of the Supreme of Water

As the Supreme of Water's Loved One, Amelia can draw on a portion of the Supreme's strength without an ordinary usage cost. The bond is carved into her existence under an existence vow: Amelia owes one future task, while the Supreme accepts backlash if her Loved One dies and cannot simply replace her. The arrangement is therefore sponsorship and obligation, not a free personal breakthrough. The Supreme can channel power into Amelia rapidly and says the flow could eventually carry her toward Stage 6 and its peak, but that prediction does not establish that Amelia has already reached either state. (Chapter 724)

The relationship also permits the Supreme to control Amelia's body temporarily. Blue eyes mark the period of possession during the battle with Laplace, and Amelia's normal red eyes return when control is released. This state gives the group access to the Supreme's immediate judgment, but it is not Amelia's own mastery and should not be used to attribute every possessed action to her. Once she resumes control, the flaws in her use of the borrowed power remain visible. (Chapters 741 and 746–747)

Complete World and inherited spell

Amelia's Complete World replaces the surroundings with an endless clear sea beneath a red Blood Sea. Its life law drains opponents and lets Amelia rebuild water formations after destruction. She can hide allied movements within its effects and create sea walls or automatic barriers, making the domain as much a defensive battlefield as an offensive one. Laplace can crack and twist it by pressing destruction against its foundation, so maintaining it requires continuous concentration and psychological resistance. The narration calls it a Complete World even though Amelia's latest explicit rank remains Stage 5; the text does not supply a Stage 6 promotion between those statements. (Chapters 695–698 and 746–750)

Julie also entrusted Elizabeth with a Tremor-ranked Mermaid spell for Amelia. Later enemies treat the spell as part of Amelia's inheritance, but the corpus does not name it, show a complete acquisition ritual, or clearly demonstrate it as a separate cast in Amelia's later battles. It establishes access to a formally ranked legacy, not grounds to relabel every large water attack as that spell. (Chapters 8, 20, and 30)

Power progression

Relationships

Elizabeth

Elizabeth raises Amelia from infancy, hides the truth of Julie's maternity, and protects her through Mermaid Country's politics. Amelia responds by treating attacks on Elizabeth as attacks on the foundation of her identity. Their separation and Elizabeth's deaths drive much of Amelia's later strength and instability. When the full truth is finally disclosed, Amelia distinguishes biological origin from motherhood and chooses Elizabeth as the parent who stayed. (Chapters 19–22, 344–390, 544, and 814–815)

Neo Hargraves

Neo repeatedly saves Amelia's family while also leading them into risks she cannot evaluate. Gratitude becomes worry, then hatred after Elizabeth's suffering and Henry's death during Neo's absence. Amelia's accusation that trust produces scars captures the relationship's imbalance: Neo knows more and promises outcomes, while Amelia bears consequences without comparable control. Even her hostility remains evidence of an unresolved bond, since her deepest anger is directed at her own inability to protect the people whose survival she entrusted to him. (Chapters 21–27, 385–390, 544, 695–718, and 730)

Layla and Henry Hargraves

Layla and Henry become Amelia's remaining family after Elizabeth's death. Amelia protects Layla from assassination and later governs her contact with Neo, sometimes allowing fear to turn care into restriction. Henry's final wish to see Neo goes unfulfilled, and his death becomes another event Amelia attributes to Neo's absence. Living for Layla and Henry keeps her from collapsing completely, but losing Henry leaves Layla as both a loved younger sister and a reminder of everyone Amelia cannot afford to lose. (Chapters 567–570 and 715)

Supreme of Water

The Supreme recognizes Amelia's talent when Amelia herself sees only inferiority beside exceptional peers. Their Loved One vow gives Amelia access to divine power and a less self-destructive reason to grow, but it also creates a debt whose task remains undisclosed. During the Divine War, the Supreme briefly uses Amelia's body and directs the rescue of Felix. The relationship is thus mentorship, sponsorship, and control at once, with affection or confidence never removing the structural imbalance between them. (Chapters 724 and 741)

Percival, Arthur, and Felix

Amelia's later companions rely on her as a defensive anchor. Percival helps her resist Laplace's psychological pressure and uses Fate to coordinate openings; Arthur moves under the cover she provides; Felix's recoverable body determines their immediate strategy. Amelia cannot defeat Laplace alone, but her World creates the time and protection that let their different abilities function as a team. Their survival also shows why she continues fighting after personal confidence has failed. (Chapters 741 and 746–751)

Items

Amelia has no consistently identified signature weapon or carried artifact. The Tremor-ranked Mermaid spell belongs to her inheritance, but it is a learned or inheritable magical legacy rather than a physical item with established properties. The mermaid plushie left beside the unconscious Elizabeth serves as a token of Neo's visit and becomes part of Amelia's discovery that he had come to see her mother, not as Amelia's combat equipment. (Chapters 20, 30, 344, and 351)
