Goals
Find love again to fill the void in her heart, but she hasn't fond a worthy person yet. She completely fell in love with Vibrato, and he returns it. Now she just needs to not lose him.

La Rapide was exclusively working for Amelie and Jean-Baptiste for a long time. But due to the events of Dead and Deader Amelie has been very mad at her and hasn't really given out jobs since then. Because of this la Rapide recently started running for Fiendest, who was recommended to her by their common friend Swerve. It is currently more likely that when la Rapide gets a call, that it is from Fiendest and not Amelie.
