[Amy's Bio]

Rp.Me is being stupid and won't let me paste the entire bio here any longer. Her backstory will be in a different blog post.

Fancy pantsy bio and detailed backstory on Google Docs (better if viewed on a computer or print view): docs.google.com/document/d/19kHfyjaGVN9lnE06kjZ9g1k86U3rHWEUDQIp5nW4Tgk/edit?usp=sharing

Not everything is true to real life, some things have been changed for artistic purposes or because that information isn’t known to me. Slowly, she is becoming my rendition. Her personality remains untouched.

First Name ▶ Amy. The anglicized spelling of the Old French name "Amée", meaning “beloved”. It derives from the Latin name, Amata. Her mother assumed she was a boy before birth, her name was supposed to be Ames.
Middle Name ▶ Jade, a name referring to the beautiful turquoise rock. Of English origin, comes from the Spanish word "(piedra de la) ijada" which translates to “stone of the flank”. This name was homage to her great-stepgrandfather, Jack.
Last Name ▶ Winehouse. Of Yiddish and German origin, spelled as “Weinhaus”. The name’s meaning is self-explanatory. In the England and Wales census of 1891, the name was found exclusively in the London area.
Nicknames ▶ Ame, Ames, Nudge (Yiddish word for “pushing the boundaries”. Family-given nickname.) Hurricane Amy (Family given for her rowdy behavior in childhood), The Girl From London, Queen of Camden, Lioness
Age ▶ 28
Sex ▶ Female
Birthdate ▶ September 14th, 1983 (Virgo)
Birthplace ▶ Southgate, London, England, United Kingdom
Setting ▶ 2012
Species ▶ Human
Race ▶ Mediterranean-European
Ethnicity ▶ Jewish ✡
Ancestry ▶ Jewish, English, German, Russian
Nationality ▶ British-American
Relationship Status ▶ Single
Orientation ▶ Bi-curious Heterosexual
Languages Spoken ▶ British English, French, Hebrew
Religion ▶ Agnostic. As much as she wants to believe in the God of Abraham, she has had her doubts about his existence due to the long, miserable history of the Jewish people.
Residency ▶ Brooklyn Heights, NY. It’s her home second to Camden Town in London.
Children ▶ None. Unfortunately, her extended history of substance abuse and eating disorders severely affected her fertility; she hasn't had a menstrual cycle since she was 20 years old. It is currently uncertain whether the damage is permanent. As much as she adores the idea of extending her family, her recent bout with anorexia is the root cause of her infertility, which she is currently fighting an uphill battle with.
Pets ▶ A grey British shorthair male named Frank, and a black female named Moortje. Previously, she owned 14 cats all at once and had a few throughout her childhood. Notably her favorite, Katy, who died at a ripe old age.
Musical Influences ▶ Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Carole King, Tony Bennett, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Salt-N-Pepa, Eminem, The Roots, Aretha Franklin
Occupation ▶ Performer and guitarist. Amy dabbles in the blues, jazz, R&B, and sometimes rock. Jazz is her number one music genre. Frank Sinatra is her idol. She also owns a clothing line with Fred Perry.
Social Status ▶ Dwindling global superstar. Despite this, she has quite a loyal legion of fans.
Salary ▶ Approximately $1.2 million a year

Relationship Role ▶ Assertive. But when she falls in love, she falls hard. Her first marriage was proof of this. But never again would she become so invested in whoever follows, doing her best to not become too reliant on another. If she really adores someone, she tends to be quite affectionate and clingy. She desires to have a partner who can also be her conscience. She is by no means a feminist and is more than okay with being ruled over by a man and taking the role of a traditional housewife. But that doesn’t stop her from thinking for herself, either.
NSFW ▶ Amy can be a free-spirited woman who will try to sleep with anyone she wants, notably men. Since divorcing her husband, she has settled down somewhat. Masculinity is a trait that attracts her the most. She enjoys being submissive rather than dominant with the opposite sex. Her libido is strongest under the influence of alcohol. (More in the Google Docs bio)
What She Seeks ▶ Not only a romantic male partner but also strong friendships, something she is currently lacking. Amy lacks guidance, someone in her life to tell her “no” when she steps out of line. Make her feel loved and important in the life of someone else. Emotional neglect has previously punched large holes in her self-esteem, going back to her childhood relationship with her parents.

Life Goals ▶
- Curb her alcoholism.
- Remain sober from hard drugs. Her health depends on it.
- Quit smoking. She's already a sufferer of emphysema.
- Defeat her bulimia and keep it away for good.
- Marry a man and start a family. Her self-destructive lifestyle has kept her from achieving the latter.
- Keep closely knit with her kin.
- Continue her music career.
- Get her father off her back. She's old and responsible enough to handle things on her own.

Her big hazel eyes and angular facial profile are her natural distinctive features. She has contemplated rhinoplasty.
Scars ▶ Amy has dozens of permanent marks on her arms from previous acts of self-harm, and a faded scar of Blake’s name she carved on her lower stomach. She plans on getting it removed for good. Amy also has scars on the insides of her elbows from shooting drugs. Recently, she quit waxing her arms so they would be less noticeable. From Blake, Amy has a scar on her lower lip, split open from a punch. She is the most ashamed of this mark and covers it often with makeup. Her lower left cheek has a self-inflicted mark from a cigarette burn.
Tattoos ▶ In all, Amy has 14 tattoos. On her left shoulder is a cursive tattoo that reads "Daddy's Girl", below is a horseshoe and a topless pinup woman. On her right shoulder is an ink of her late beloved paternal grandmother, Cynthia, and beside it is a geisha. She has a tattoo for her ex-husband, a shirt pocket on the left side of her chest. Recently, Blake’s name was removed from it but it is still slightly visible. The inside of her right forearm has a bird and flowers that reads "Never Clip My Wings". Beside it, is a lightning bolt. The opposite forearm has a Native American feather that symbolizes strength and bravery. On her lower right abdomen is a nautical anchor, around it in a cursive text reads "Hello Sailor". On her upper back is a small stars and stripes patterned Ankh bearing angel wings with a bald eagle poking its head through it; dedicated to her American mother. on the right-hand side of her lower back is a small Betty Boop. On the third finger of her left hand is a small “A” and a heart; for her brother, Alex.
Fashion ▶ While she does fancy sleeveless sheath and sun dresses; polo shirts and slim-fit capris are more Amy's style. When she's alone she's typically seen wearing sweatpants and t-shirts. Large loop earrings and her Monroe lip piercing are common combinations for jewelry. She always her short gold chain with a Star of David pendant. She doesn't sport her beehive as often as before these days and keeps her hair down in waves.

Personality Traits ▶
» Outspoken » Her unfiltered mouth may have gotten her into more trouble than anything else. In most instances, she will be brutally honest and may disregard the feelings of others. She hates to fib, and those who do so.
» Charismatic » Sometimes, just the right words need to be said in the correct tone to successfully persuade another or gain affinity. Amy does not have trouble making friends, but frequently her mind is in a fog from alcoholism. She can be suave to get what she wants as well. To top it off, a dark sense of humor that holds no boundaries.
» Self-sufficient » She is notorious for bottling up her emotions and troubles even to those close to her. Amy is typically not the type to confess “I need help”. Throughout her life, she has fought her own battles, more recent ones were by choice. This behavior was inherited from her mother. “Everything’s fine. Don’t worry about me.” Is a common phrase to brush others off.
» Turbulent » Amy has an imperfect balance of vigor and fragility. Her self-destructive behavior has been an ongoing issue since her early teens involving herself in acts of self-harm, binging marijuana, and stocking bottles of booze. Whenever gravely upset, she will initiate a catastrophe of any objects around her; and herself.
» Hopeless Romantic » Relationships, romantic or not, matter a lot to Amy. She can be quite the flirt, often pursuing her soulmate. This side of her resulted in unrealistic visions of her marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil. But her string of bad relationships has led to her developing a fear of another heartbreak but sharpened her wisdom about such things.
» Sex-Positive » There is no other way to explain it, but this does not mean she has no sense of modesty. If she is single and horny, she will seek out a fling or a one-night stand. When engaged in a relationship, sex is often a daily ritual.
» Virtuoso » It may not be considered irrational to believe that singing and music in general was Amy’s natural talent. Composing songs and performing is when her confidence is at its highest. But when her insecurities become overbearing, she becomes chaotic and self-secluded.
» Humble » Money and fame do not matter that much to Amy. She has done many charitable acts with the fruits of her labor and funds her mother’s healthcare for her multiple sclerosis. Very seldom does she think of what is best for her, but those she loves.
» Self-loathing » At her worst, Amy’s number one enemy is herself. Under immense pressure, she builds the urge to indulge in self-harm whether it be cutting her forearms or partaking in a bulimic episode. She is also very self-conscious, notably of her appearance and ability.
» Dismissive » How others perceive her has little effect on Amy; however, when it comes to her music, she will show concern about being perceived as a sellout, underachiever, or dull. But she is self-conscious around those endeared to her.
» Timid » Because of her untreated anxiety disorder, Amy believes she cannot engage in activities such as her shows, or things such as doctor’s appointments without a shot or three of booze. She is also a compulsive smoker of tobacco and cannabis to keep her mind at ease. Oftentimes she gets shy amongst large groups of strangers. But when under the influence of alcohol, her reclusiveness ceases.

Skills ▶ Amy has been writing poetry since she was very young, and frequently singing and copying her favorite artists since she was a small child. She discovered her distinct sound before she turned thirteen. She plays two instruments, the guitar, and piano; sometimes the drums. As she grew more independent, Amy became more intelligent about handling her finances. She is also quite the pro at playing pool and has been excellent at mathematics since before she started school. Amy also has a fondness for fashion design and other forms of art.
Amy does not have a driver’s license or knows how to drive.
Handedness ▶ Right-handed
IQ ▶ 156. Excelled in advanced mathematics at a young age, and was even bumped up a year in school. Amy is a swift learner with excellent memory. Exceptional emotional intelligence.
Health ▶ Overall, moderate. Recently cleaned up, Amy has a lot of grinding to do to get her body back into proper shape. She remains a chain smoker of Marlboro Reds. She is also a sufferer of emphysema and myocarditis as a result of her long-term smoking of crack, marijuana, and tobacco. Her alcoholism is an ongoing issue she still spars with. Amy has a very high alcohol tolerance, able to consume large amounts of hard liquor that would make Ernest Hemingway cry.
Mental Health ▶ Amy has been a long-time sufferer of undiagnosed borderline personality disorder, general anxiety disorder, bipolar depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Like many young women, she struggles with body image, and the horrid phobia of becoming obese so she is bulimic as a result. Her fight against it has been a seesaw battle despite countless therapy sessions so she deals with nutritional deficiencies. It is also possible she has Tourette's syndrome.

“Do you consider yourself a sex symbol, Miss Winehouse?”
“Only to gays.”

Fashion ▶ While she does fancy sleeveless sheath and sun dresses; polo shirts and slim-fit capris are more Amy's style. When she's alone she's typically seen wearing sweats and other casual clothing. Large loop earrings, her “Amyjade” chain, and her Monroe lip piercing are common combinations for jewelry when she’s formally dressed. She always wears her short gold chain with a Star of David pendant that she acquired at birth. She doesn't sport her beehive as often lately and keeps her hair down in waves.
