Basic Information

Amanda (born 1986) is introduced as a tall, skinny, pale-faced and painfully shy Sunnydale High student who first appears in the seventh season episode, "Help", part of the seemingly-random stream of students showing up in Buffy's guidance office. It is in this episode that Amanda first reveals her predilection for defending herself using violence as she discusses beating up on a boy at school who had been picking on her with Buffy.

Amanda returns in "Potential", meeting Buffy at her office again to discuss the same boy from "Help" who had bullied her, also bringing up that she thinks some of her classmates believe Amanda to be weird. Later in the episode, Willow learns of a potential Slayer living in Sunnydale and decides to cast a locator spell. While originally misinterpreting the spell to indicate that Dawn is the potential after Dawn is caught by the spell as she goes to open the front door, it is later revealed the spell found Amanda, who had arrived at the door moments before (unknown to the gang at the time) in search of Buffy. Amanda later meets Dawn out on a walk and they return to the school, where Amanda dispatches a vampire that had earlier attacked her after learning of her true destiny when the Bringers attack her.

She receives the full powers of a Slayer, along with all other Potentials, due to Willow's Slayer activation spell in "Chosen". She is killed violently in the final battle in the Hellmouth not long after, later in the episode.
