style. The other is a two handed sword of special design that was made just for her.
History: A lot of words have been used to describe Amanda over the centuries; vamp, temptress, siren, coquette, femme fatal, plus a bunch that you wouldn't repeat in front of your mom. She has lived up to all of them at one time or another in her life. She is admittedly a sensual being and men are drawn to her like moths to the flame. She has taken advantage of that, and it has gotten her far. She not evil, she just has her own unique sense of value and morals. Some might say that she has neither, but she would disagree.
Amanda was born a pauper in 820, living off her skills as a thief, which were sadly lacking. She was caught trying to steal food from a plague infested house in 850 and killed. She was later found by Rebecca Horne, who lived in a nearby church. Like Amanda, she was an Immortal and taught her all she would need to know to survive the Game. After 3 years of leaning how to fight, how to stay alive, Amanda left. Rebecca had tried to instill good values in her pupil, but Amanda resisted and made thievery an art form; living solely on the scams, robberies, and other underhanded things of her trade. Regardless of her profession, Amanda does have a good side, only most people have never seen it, choosing only to see her as a criminal. She has been all over the world, dancing for sultans, stealing from kings, and playing the poor beggar when the situation called for it. A regular jack of all trades.
There have been few that have captured her heart, which she considers her most precious treasure. The first was her teacher, Rebecca. She gave Amanda back her life when she felt she least deserved it, for which she will always be greatful. The next was a little boy named Kenny. He was Amanda's student for a short while and in a way, she considered him as her son. The next was Duncan MacLeod. Amanda feel in love with him the first moment she saw him. She ran from him for fear of loosing her heart to him forever. |
