Relationship Role ▶ Assertive. But when she falls in love, she falls hard. 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.
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, dating back to the early stages of her relationship with her parents.

Life Goals
- Curb her alcoholism. Her smoking should be another since losing her beloved chain-smoking grandmother to cancer, but it's not on her priority list.
- Avoid class-A drugs. The crowds she associates herself with will make this difficult to avoid.
- 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.

Large loop earrings and her Monroe lip piercing are common combinations for jewelry. She always wears her short gold chain with a Star of David pendant, a gift she received at birth from a local synagogue in London.
