Editing Amy Dallon (section)

===Background===
Amelia was born to a woman who had had a onetime tryst with the [[Marquis]] of [[Brockton Bay]], her mother found out she was pregnant and raised her daughter from there. After her mother found out she had cancer she checked on the father; deeming him acceptable she sent Amelia to live with the father.<ref name="R11V">Marquis[...] hooked up with a groupie that had freckles, then they parted ways. A while before canon, said groupie finds out she has cancer, goes to Brockton Bay to find Marquis, and after verifying that he's not an utter monster and he has resources to take care of her kid, gives him custody. Panacea was not born in Brockton Bay. - [https://redd.it/8xzxx4 Wildbow on reddit]</ref> She was raised in Brockton Bay from there.<ref name="15.x">[[Interlude 15.x]]</ref>

During the [[Brockton Bay Brigade]]'s battle against Marquis, the Brigade discovered his daughter hiding in the closet. [[Brandish]] and [[Flashbang]] adopted her to keep her safe from the media and those who would exploit her due to the high chance of her manifesting superpowers. This was requested by Marquis.<ref name="15.x">[[Interlude 15.x]]</ref> She was six years old at the time, and retained vague memories of her previous life, but did not remember her father, likely due to their relatively short time spent together.

Amy was a quiet, unassuming kid without any particular passions. Despite that, as a kid of known superheroes she was welcomed in the circle of elite students. She had not displayed interest to this either.<ref name="ii9.2">Amy had been the odd one in more than I had.  Purely average in appearance, quiet, she hadn’t been passionate about hobbies or about anything in particular.  She’d liked movies from Aleph and when she was twelve she’d break her usual reserved, quiet composure to get way too excited if she checked the change slot of a vending machine or pay phone and found a quarter.  And yet when we got to high school, she was automatically included in the group of popular students. - [[Gleaming 9.2]]</ref>

Panacea triggered two years before the story began,<ref>Do you understand what it means, to cure some of these people? I feel like every second I take to myself is a second I’ve failed somehow. For two years, it’s been this… pressure. - [[Interlude 3]]</ref> when [[Glory Girl]] was injured by a gang attacking a mall.<ref name="SB1" /> She would visit hospitals for two or three hours at a time every evening, curing people. Sometimes she would visit again during the night because she couldn't sleep.<ref name="3.x" />

Her power meant she was granted an honorary medical license.<ref>[[Interlude 2]]</ref> She was not able to do as much as she could with her abilities due partially to rules governing the exploitation of minors.<ref name="14.6 e1">Amy bent down and touched her sister.  Glory Girl stirred and sat up.  With Amy’s help she stood.<br /><br />“You’re lying to yourself,” Tattletale said.  “And you’re making things worse.”<br /><br />“Just- I’m just keeping her complacent.  I’m okay with it if she doesn’t forgive me for it.  Don’t deserve it anyways.  I do this, and then I’ll go somewhere I can be useful.  Only reason I haven’t made more of myself and my power is because of the rules and regulations about exploiting minors with powers.  Either go into government or don’t work at all, and didn’t want to go into government because they would have made me a weapon.  And because I needed to be with my family.”<br /><br />She smiled, but it wasn’t a happy expression.  “Burned that bridge.  But I’m sixteen now, I can get a job somewhere, start making a real difference with my power.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/09/22 Excerpt] from [[Prey 14.6]]</ref>
