Maeve Jourand as Amelia Mathews / Annabelle Walton

Maeve Jourand plays the series’ central character, Annabelle Walton, who later grows up as Amelia Mathews after losing her memories.

As a child, Annabelle was forced to donate bone marrow to save her twin brother Ashton, who was suffering from leukemia.

When complications occurred during the procedure and she was believed to have died, her grandmother secretly disposed of her body to hide the incident.

However, Annabelle survived. She was found by a disabled janitor named Sam Mathews, who took her in and raised her as his daughter. With no memory of her past, she was given a new name and a new life.

Ten years later, Amelia grows up to be a hardworking and intelligent student determined to succeed academically while protecting the father figure who raised her. Ironically, the person who bullies her the most at school is Ashton—the twin brother who has no idea who she truly is.

Jourand is a French actress, model, singer, dancer, and vocal trainer.
