New York 2140

Amelia Black is the host of a cloud program called “Assisted Migration.” She has a massive audience, many of whom tune in to see her because she often finds excuses to be nude during her adventures helping animals migrate to healthier locations. Amelia is brave in the face of danger. She continues to do what she believes is right, even when threatened with hate mail and death threats. Amelia plays on her ostensible dim-wittedness but is smart enough to know that the size of her audience allows her to wield enormous influence.

This power makes her the best advocate for the cause of moving animals to more accommodating habitats and enables her to incite the Householders’ Strike. Amelia proves to be an indispensable part of Franklin’s and Charlotte’s plan to crash the system, and even though it is not obvious to Amelia at first, her goals align with theirs.

Stefan and Roberto are two young boys who live in a boat outside of the Met Tower. They are also illiterate and poor, orphaned by the floods. The fact that they have had such difficulty surviving highlights the reality that countless other children died during and after the Pulses.
