Amelia's devious like that. I didn't care either way about her originally myself, but she has a way of growing on you. (Agreed on the English version, especially the first voice. I don't mind the second, and Veronica Taylor won me over by having a convincing cry, but Masami Suzuki will always be the real voice of Amelia as far as I'm concerned.)

Amelia did influence Vic somewhat, but not entirely. I can see where people would see the similarities though. (It is funny that Vic is a more grown-up version, yet younger at the same time.) :D
