Biography
Amalia is a Court Mistress at the Schönbrunn Palace.

Throughout The Empress
In the palace, Amalia is seen in a line of handmaidens, listening to the instructions of Countess Esterházy regarding preparation for the royal wedding.

When Countess Esterházy introduced Amalia to Elisabeth, she told Elisabeth that Amalia speaks 6 languages and is skilled at embroidery and drawing.

During the day, Amalia and the other Court Mistresses followed Elisabeth around. The Court Mistress discuss how there are 10 of them, but only 6 are needed, so some of them will eventually be cut off.

At the hunting trip, Elisabeth wanted to hunt with the men, but was not allowed to. Instead, she took a walk with the Court Mistresses, and they met Franz's father, Archduke Franz Karl. He met Leontine von Apafi and claimed to know her family. However, when asked to speak French, like Leontine is known to be able to do, she could not. The other Court Mistresses, especially Amalia, began to suspect Leontine.
