Amaia’s Journey As The New Witch Of The Town
Amaia has moved from Barcelona to her grandmother’s city with her family and her mama. This move happen after her mama separated from their consanguineous father and lost her job. One of her old musketeers helped her get a job at a bakery in the city, and she has moved the entire family there. Amaia acts out and constantly makes it clear that she isn't happy about this. While she seems to love and admire her consanguineous father Moussa, she doesn’t know who her birth father is, and it's a point of disunion between her and her mama. In fact, upon a little disquisition, she comes to know that her mama dated a notorious shooter named Jovi in the high academy. She assumes that it must mean that he's her birth father. still, it's latterly revealed by her mama that while they were dears, the brace broke up when Jovi demanded to go abroad and that he's not Amaia’s birth father. Devastated, Amaia focuses her powers away. She isn't fond of the growing attachment between her mama and her academy schoolteacher, as she fears that it would mean that their stay in the city would get extended if their relationship gets serious. Due to this, she refuses to accept him and is frequently rude when he comes to visit. One day, while helping her mama clean the garret, she finds a letter written in 2004, in which joe is breaking up with her mama. Noticing the date, Amaia suspects that he might be her father. She notes down his name — Bernardo — and goes to find him. Turns out, he's the proprietor of a music shop and is old enough to be her forefather. He has been married for further than 30 times, meaning that if he's Amaia’s father, it was due to an extra-marital affair, and that's the fact that her mama was guarding her against. Amaia takes time to come to terms with this and ultimately reconciles with her mama, but without telling her that she knows the verity about her lineage.
Through the course of “ You ’re Nothing Special ” Season 1, we come to realize that Amaia isn't just a bratty teenager who thinks she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. She's someone who has a hopeless need to be liked by everyone and can not suppose beyond herself. This is the exact reason that causes chaos in her life and everyone’s life around her. On her first or alternate day of the academy, she makes a group of musketeers — Javi, Lucia, and Zhao. She also develops a crush on Asier, but unfortunately, he formerly has a gal, Irene. Through rumors, she comes to know that her grandmother was known as the city witch, and she had guests all over the country. Just as a commodity delightful to do, the group decides to try one of her spells. Javi chimes in with a suggestion. He'd been bullied by a boy named Fran Chivite all his life, and he wanted him to feel the same helplessness and fear that he did. The group casts the spell, allowing nothing of it, and heads out to a party. But they come to know that Chivite has been in an accident. They're all scarified and wonder if the spell had commodity to do with it.
On a coming day, a classmate of theirs, Jokin, asks Amaia if her mama can cast spells as her grandmother could. On an impulse, Amaia tells him that she can do it. He asks her for a love spell. He wants to get back together with his ex-Rori. Amaia lets him know that it's possible, for a price of 20 euros before the job and 20 euros after. Jokin agrees. Amaia picks up the system for it from her grandmother’s books and tells Jokin that if it doesn’t work, she'll give him back his plutocrat. She tells her that he thinks she's a fraud since her grandmother noway failed. From also onwards, we see Amaia change her language. She starts talking in terms of definite( s) rather than possibilities. As for her musketeers, they like the idea of earning implicit and, hence, run a little tactic of their own to move Rori of Jokin’s love. It works, and they get back together. Amaia’s character as the “ city witch ” starts to grow.
One of the coming many people to approach her is Chivite himself. He asks her whether she can do commodity to fix the wrong effects in his life. Amaia tells him that this negative energy around him is the result of his bad air, and he must seek remission for it to be gone. She's intimating that he must apologize to Javi, which he does, but to no mileage. Javi himself has taken a potion from Amaia, which she tells him will help him find his “ Romeo, ” but both of them treat it as a joke. nonetheless, he joins a courting app and goes to meet joe from there. He turns out to be Chivite’s father, and not wanting to continue the date, he requests to be dropped off. On a coming day, he tells his musketeers this, but it's a secret between them. still, Chivite latterly confronts Amaia about the bad effects of his life not resolving, and she turns it around that he must resolve some secret with his pater for that to be. We can guess that Chivite presumably knows and is coming to terms with it. This is another illustration of Amaia just telling people what they want to hear and using their secrets to her advantage. Javi warns her that this can’t go on, but she disregards his advice.
On Lucia’s end, she starts by not liking Amaia too important but ultimately accepts her as a friend. She likes Mateo, but he's interested in another girl. still, Zhao has a crush on Lucia, and he makes a pass at her at one of the parties, making her furious. latterly, when they talk, Lucia tells him that she only likes him as a friend. Zhao is worried but is trying to come to terms with it. Amaia tries to assure him and tells him that Lucia presumably has a passion for him but is just reluctant. Zhao tells her that Lucia said no, and he's not going to interpret that as a yes. This is another case that proves that Amaia doesn’t understand people. Sure, she means well, but only if everyone likes her, so she says what others want to hear.
Next is the story bow of Amaia, Irene, and Asier. We know about the being equation between them. Buoyed by the success of her status as the ‘ witch, ’ Amaia casts a love spell on Asier. As the story moves forward, Irene addresses Lucia about her remedy not being successful. Lucia gently nudges her towards Amaia and tells her to try the magic. originally reluctant, she confides in Amaia. She tells her that she has known Asier her entire life but doesn’t feel to love him. With a little prodding, she reveals that she might be a lesbian. preliminarily, we had seen that Irene and Asier had an on-again, off-again relationship, and now we know why Irene wasn't emotionally invested in it due to her exposure. Amaia encourages Irene to deal with this, which results in the brace breaking up. But Asier is still ignorant of the reason. still, one day, when both of them are walking, Asier presses her for a possible reason. He believes that she might be suitable to tell him with her witchy powers. Giving in, Amaia tells him that Irene is a lesbian, and that's the reason she has broken up with him. This is presumably the worst thing Amaia has done in the “ You ’re Nothing Special ” series. spin someone is a special kind of crime, and nothing can ever justify it. But Amaia does it anyway, proving formerly again that she only cares about herself.

Right before the time-end party, Amaia gets the news that her family might be moving to Barcelona. What she had wanted for the longest time is suddenly making her uneasy. Because right there in that small city, Amaia had made a name for herself, a commodity she wouldn’t be suitable to do back home. She leaves the discussion for the coming day. At the party itself, Amaia walks in like a queen, but her entry is intruded upon when Irene splashes beer on her face. Can we just take a moment to say that we don’t feel indeed a bitsy bit bad for her? Her protrusive and selfish nature had earned her this.

In a moment of clarity, he asks her if this is the reason, she has been doing whatever she has been doing so far and whether this is the reason she outed Irene. As much as we don’t plump what Amaia has done so far, we can’t help pointing out that she only told Asier about Irene’s verity. He was the one who told the whole academy. So, this was his fault. Coming back to the scene, he leaves angrily, and Amaia has had enough. She decides to go back to Barcelona and is drinking a lot of alcohol when she runs into Zhao. They sit and sputter for a while, during which he assures her that the effects will be each right. There's a moment between the two, and they end up kissing. Seeing them, Lucia is worried, and she goes to the DJ, who is, apropos, Chevite. He lets her play the coming song, and at that moment, she kisses him. Javi himself is talking to a joe whom he'd suspected was following him for a long time. Joe reveals that he'd been doing so because he was into him. While talking, he reveals that his name is Romeo.
