Watson Amelia

Watson Amelia is an English Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, as part of its English (EN) branch first generation of Vtubers alongside Ninomae Ina'nis, Takanashi Kiara, Mori Calliope, and Gawr Gura.

Personality
Amelia is a rather expressive girl who is often seen mingling or teasing her fellow holomyth members (mostly Gura). She is usually kind, supportive, and sweet as shown when she often willingly helps the bonehead Gura in Minecraft and is furthermore expressed when she frequently watches her fellow members' streams whenever she is available (she even ended her own stream just to watch Kiara's stream once).

Despite her cute angelic appearance and personality, she also harbors another side of her personality that is often referred by her fans as "Gremlin Mode", she can be greedy, prideful, and unsportsmanlike in competitive online video games such as Fall Guys, Apex Legends, and Valorant. Her greed is furthermore demonstrated in The Witcher 3 when she is always searching for loot, given the fact that when she heard a nearby villager say "loot", she tried to go around and find loot. For these reasons, fans often refer to her as a "True Gamer". Despite that, she tries her best to keep her gremlin-like behavior in check.

Additionally, Amelia enjoys clowning around such as in Gura's stream when the pizza subject came up, she teased her by typing "Peanut Butter Pizza" in the stream's chat, and another one is her proclamation of being a "Zoomer". She can also be sadistic sometimes, as she trolled her viewers in one of her Minecraft streams by adjusting her shader's brightness very darkly and acts innocently in claiming that she fixed the shaders for them, she fixed it again but the screen just became pitch black that they can't even see a single thing until she finally stopped and said that she was just kidding.

Moreover, she is often mischievous and lewd as she made a door in Minecraft written on top of it with "Gura's Backdoor" and a mischievous emoji. On her tour with Gawr Gura and Moona Hoshinova on hololive Japanese server, she was below Gura while climbing a ladder and said "Nice view from here". Another is that when the word "bottom" is said by both Calliope and Gura at different times, she responds to them by referring them as the "bottom". Possibly her best-known joke is "ground pounding your mom", which she said once during a Super Mario Odyssey playthrough and has since become almost synonymous with her character. Generally, Amelia's voice will shift towards a naughtier tone when she says something gremlin-like.

When she learned about the "lewd" fanarts of her by her fans and eventually likes it, she coined the tag "#Amelewds" that she proclaimed for them to use whenever they want to post "lewd" fanarts of her, ostensibly in order to separate SFW and NSFW art.

Overall, her multiple sides of her personality and having a balanced chemistry of it are what makes her very lovable as noted by her fans.

Fans

 * Her fanbase is officially called "Teamates". It is a pun on "tea", a popular British drink and one listed in her debut stream among her favorite things.

Childhood stories
Ame frequently tells stories about her childhood. She had at least 13 injuries:


 * She received an injury in her childhood when she and her brother were jumping on a bed and Amelia fell off, hitting her head on the corner of a drawer. She needed to have her head stitched up. She claims to still have a "head hole" that she can feel air go through when she breathes.
 * In another instance, while very young, Ame tripped on a wet floor while eating ice cream, and bit off her tongue almost completely. It was still hanging on by a thread, but the doctors were unable to stitch it back together because tongues do not work that way. It eventually healed, but she still has a scar.
 * Ame's brother once threw a soccer ball at her face, knocking out three of her teeth. "Yeah, they were baby teeth. It was really bloody though. That's how siblings are."
 * As a kid, she liked to eat sand. "I liked the texture."

 * Ame once cut the top off her thumb when trying to peel an orange with a knife.
 * Her grandma had a hole in her ear because her earring got stuck in a vaccuum.
 * When her grandma was younger she liked to mess around with other women's husbands, with the result that someone cursed her family line. However, this also caused Ame to be exceptionally lucky. Ame describes luck as her highest stat.
