	Amanda Talbot is a statuesque woman who is in excellent shape and appears considerably younger than her actual late-50s. She prefers wearing sharp business jackets with matching pencil skirts which she accompanies with a light blouse to lend a feminine touch to what she feels may be too austere an image, although this often changes based on the recommendations of her PR and style advisors. Her red shoulder-length hair is always smartly styled, and she has a bright, friendly manner and her hazel eyes seem to radiate confidence and trust.

	Amanda prefers dealing with people who are like-minded and care about the well-being of Emerald City, and will try to aid them within the limits of her capabilities. She is receptive to honest-dealing people, being someone who hates "beating around the bush" or sly manipulation. She has little tolerance for selfish and manipulative people, but will bite her tongue and be cordial if she needs to in order to meet her objectives (which is usually in Emerald City's favour). If she has little to gain from a situation, then people should treat her with respect and honesty (at least if they intend on continuing relations with her). She has on occasion been accused of being biased towards animal lovers although this has worked harshly against people who have falsely claimed to be animal lovers to curry favour, and Amanda's keen insight made her realise otherwise.

	[[File:Beth.jpg\|~~50%~~\|thumb\|right]]Beth is a professional hair stylist and fashion consultant. Originally from Basingstoke, United Kingdom, Beth built a career in the London West End where she built up a reputation for her hair and styling for various actresses and events. This naturally developed to being employed by a Hollywood studio filming in London, which got her foot in the door into the US film industry. Years later Beth owns her own stylist company and has made a successful career out of giving fashion advice to celebrities, politicians and others in the public spotlight. She is renown for her tasteful and glamorous styles and (her speciality) creative hair-styling.		[[File:Beth.jpg\|350px\|thumb\|right]]Beth is a professional hair stylist and fashion consultant.

	Between Beth's "posh" British accent and her penchant for expensive, fashion clothing, most assume Beth to be a social butterfly with an ego to match. Those who get to know her discover she is a talkative, friendly person with a passion for animals and pop culture, especially fantasy and science-fiction.

	[[File:Keating.jpg\|~~50%~~\|thumb\|right]]Jennifer Keating is Amanda's Executive Assistant. Graduating from Emerald City University with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science (major) and Public Administration (minor), Jenny gained employment as an administrative assistant with the public works agency and slowly built up experience and increasing administrative responsibility over the next few years. After Amanda's succesful re-election, Jenny applied for the post of executive assistant to Mayor Talbot and was accepted because Amanda was impressed by Jenny's references who commended her work ethic and commitment, although Amanda commented "the fact you're a dog-lover may have influenced my decision." <br /><br />		[[File:Keating.jpg\|350px\|thumb\|right]]Jennifer Keating is Amanda's Executive Assistant.

	Jenny is a cordial and pleasant person, though highly organised and has been accused of being somewhat dry at times. She enjoys reading (primarily drama and romance novels) and politics. She is well-versed in bureaucratic and political systems and current affairs, but has no political ambition as she is somewhat of an introvert and prefers to support candidates she feels strongly for, rather than attempt to enter the political arena herself. She has a pug named Bruno.		Jenny is a cordial and pleasant person, though highly organised and has been accused of being somewhat dry at times.
