Amanda Sharpe

Amanda Sharpe, the Student, is a character created by Fantasy Flight Games for their Arkham Horror Cthulhu Mythos setting.
==History==
A 2-year student at Arkham's prestigious Miskatonic University during the late 1920s, Amanda has been having nightmares of an ancient entity sleeping beneath the waves. These dreams were sparked by the sight of a painting hanging in the university’s halls, and have had a negative impact on her schoolwork.
===Ghouls of the Miskatonic===
In Graham McNeill's novel Ghouls of the Miskatonic, Amanda and her friend and roommate Rita Young were kidnapped by a cult of Cthulhu worshippers who intended to feed the pair to their pet ghouls. Fortunately, the two were saved by an unlikely band of heroes, including Rex Murphy and Finn Edwards.
==Behind the Mythos==
First introduced in Fantasy Flight's Arkham Horror Second Edition Core Set, Amanda Sharpe has since appeared in several other of the company's releases, including Eldritch Horror and Arkham Horror: The Card Game, and a plastic model of Amanda was created for the Arkham Horror Premium Figures series. Her character was expanded on significantly in Graham McNeill's novel Ghouls of the Miskatonic.
==Trivia==
*In one piece of flavour text released by Fantasy Flight, Amanda is mentioned to work as a bank teller. Whether she used this to help fund her university course, or she was intended to have left her studies in favour of a steady job is unknown.
*Amanda is a Deep One hybrid, although it's possible to stop her transformation in Arkham Horror Second Edition.
*In Ghouls Of The Miskatonic it was referenced that she was born in Muncie, Indiana, was also roommates with Rita Young at Dorothy Upman Hall
