Amel

A patroness who enjoys toying with residents.
Miss Amel is a wealthy frequenter of the Atelier, with more time and treasure on her hands than most. To her, visiting the Atelier is very much a delightful hobby and past-time, a perfect place to seek amusement.

It doesn't take very much at all for her to let out a lilting laugh or smile, and her sincerity is rather hard to discern as a result. At the very least though, she appears to be amused. And as long as she is amused, everyone is happy.
Amel is more than willing to support the Atelier at large with her finances- so long as it continues to be an environment for her entertainment.

What's most peculiar is that she is more so interested in the residents themselves than their works; while she will commission a little thing or two when the whim takes her, much of the time she spends at the Atelier is not for business, but for socializing.
She is often seen hanging about and teasing her 'favorites' with honeyed words and sharp quips. Their reactions are her utmost delight, and those that make the most surprising responses quickly earn her favor and invested attention.
Her coquettish but queenly bearing finds some die-hard fans among residents as a result.

Theio is one of the few who can keep up with her high-level banter, and so she greatly appreciates his rare company. The two have made a habit of conversing and playing board games over tea.
Bentorite and Hauyne also amuses her to no end, and she looks upon them fondly as one would an endearing pet.

She also appears to be familiar with Saffa and his gang. In fact, it was by his introduction that she came to learn of the Atelier.
Although she refers to him as Uncle Saffa, the two of them are not related; it's more so an honorific of sorts.
