Born to fly
Raised by cheetahs
The Great War

Found in 1912 by, Captain Felix Hawke, an old friend of the family (And Century club member), adopted as had no living relatives. Discovered talent for flight. Adoptive father offered his services to British government at start of war and was later shot down by Josef Jacobs, a German ace.
Amelia travelled to France and took to the skies to avenge him. Though skilled her exploits and conduct were very much that of a solo hunter, leading the allied pilots to view her appearance in a battle as a bit of a double edged sword. Inconclusive duel over the skies of France as the armistice is signed.
Whose side is she on anyway?
Unfinished business; Josef Jacobs
Miss Blaze in the return to the Lost Plateau

In which Amelia returns to the site of her parent's crash to pay her respects. There she finds that the mercenary explorer Winston Apperly has a team of natives excavating the area as he believes it to be the site of King Solomon’s Mines.

With the aid of Eva Langley she discovers that the tribesmen believe the plateau to be sacred ground and are only working for Apperly because he has their wives and children hostage. Freeing the prisoners she is able to convince the natives to turn against Apperly and his soldiers, aided by Dr Westfield's undead father taking the role of a vengeful spirit. Once the smoke cleared, Dr Westfield's medical skill was vital in saving the lives of several of the natives.

Eva Langley and the Netherworld Gate

A madman was murdering cats in London. Guided by her feline friends, Eva tracked him to his lair and broke in, poring over his occult library to work out what he was up to. She was captured by Am-Tuat, who chained her up to witness his final triumph... only to discover that she had carefully adjusted two of his mystic symbols, causing the ritual to collapse and destroy him.

Am-Tuat used the cat call for the last time, intending to call the last cat needed to finish his ritual. Instead of a moggy, he got Thema the cheetah, and hot on her trail, Amelia. The distraction that this caused bought Eva the time needed to adjust the symbols, and as the magic went out of control Am-Tuat's fate was sealed when Amelia kicked him into the gate.
