PERSONALITY
USUAL MOOD: Calm
MORAL ALIGNMENT: True Neutral
BASIC FEAR: Being harmed and controlled by others
BASIC DESIRE: Being able to protect herself, being in control of her life
Amanda is very independent and self-reliant. Living with a criminal thought her how to survive on her own. She was exposed to many different situations as a child, and can thus tackle most problems with a calm head. She is assured in her ability to fight and will not back down when confronted, often seeking challenges to improve her ability. She is a bit morally ambiguous and is not above doing sketchy things to achieve her goals.
Amanda fiercely believes that anyone can take control of their life. She dislikes excuses and voices her dislike for it often. She is pro-active, and prefers to act rather than wait around. This has served her well, though it does make her a tad impatient. Amanda knows how to prioritize and organize things, and prefers to stay neat and tidy. She is honest, brutally so, which can harm those around her even if it wasn't her intention. She expects others to be honest with her as well, as she believes it is the most effective form of communication.
Rebelling is not something Amanda is prone to do, but her opinion on authority is quite shaky. She dislikes it due to the limitations it imposes on her and she will outright ignore it if it doesn't suit her needs. In fact, she doesn't mind taking on illegal jobs and tasks if she could get something out of it.
Despite coming off as rude and insensitive, Amanda is actually very nurturing and friendly. She does not intend to be mean to others and will actually attempt light-hearted communication with them. She enjoys a good time, but can be prone to drinking too much. She can be very humorous and down-to-earth, as well as supportive and protective. She is loyal to her friends and family, and she cares about them very much. She is usually quiet and reserved when meeting new people, but when opening up to them can be quite the extrovert.
Amanda is self-conscious of her lack of education. She knows it is something people can use to exploit and make fun of her, which is why she tries to hide it. While she is usually self-confident, she can be very sensitive to certain things. This makes her lash out at others even when they don't mean what they say.
BIOGRAPHY
Birth & Childhood
Amanda Lorelei Ann was born a whopping 8 pounds to a single mother. Drallia, her mom, would often take up illegal crimes such as drug dealing to support her daughter. The two lived a nomadic life, moving often to avoid being caught by authority.
Some would say they lived a poor and sad life, but Amanda didn't think so. She loved and respected her mother deeply, and knew that being beside her was better than all the riches in the world. Still, she was taught the value of money and hard-work, her mother insisting it was imperative to survival. Drallia introduced her to criminal life at a young age, taking her on several of her illegal ventures. She was taught how to defend herself and picked up experience from actual fights. At age 8, she was skilled enough to take on those a few years older than her.
Teen years
Amanda was quite the delinquent in her teen years. She joined a gang and was involved in many turf fights, her gang winning many of them. Drallia was barely home to supervise her at this time, which allowed her to delve deeper into it without discovery. She dabbled in the intake of spice and alcohol, developing a rather problematic addiction at age 16. She had to move due to authoritative concerns with her mom after a few months, and it was at this time she learned the pains of withdrawal. It was a long time before she was absolved of her addiction, but she eventually got rid of it.
Early Adulthood
She couldn't live with her mother forever, and by the age of 19, Amanda moved out and pursued a life of her own. She wasn't quite sure what she wanted, but she knew the galaxy had many things to offer.
