## History

### Before Season 2

Amanda is not one of the original founders of Crawford, however, she was brought in as one of the leaders soon after it's conception.

### Season 2

Amanda appears as one of Crawford's leaders this season, alongside Amelio, Theo, and Jonathan. Due to Oswald's death, Amanda is forced to step up even more than she already has as a medic for Crawford. She treated multiple people, specifically when Molly goes into labor. After Juanita succumbed to her wounds from the car accident, she reanimated and attacked Amanda, nearly biting her until Janine saves her.

After Molly went into labor, Amanda stepped up once more, demanding action from numerous people for assistance in the labor. Despite her best attempts, Molly died during childbirth, however, Izzie was born healthy, as Amanda asked Riley to take care of putting down Molly before she reanimated.

After Izzie's birth, Amanda took her under her care, feeling responsible after the death of the child's mother. During an argument between Cheryl and Amelio, Amanda showed some of her true colors and feelings toward Crawford's leadership when she sided with Cheryl. Later, she bonded with newcomers Leah and Lane due to her attempts at treating David, who was comatose.

Amanda attempted to help the injured after Nea's escape from Crawford, however, she was knocked unconscious by debris, forcing others to take over while she was injured. Later, she wakes up, and begins treating her patients once more. After the wall was finally fully breached by the Magenta herd, Amanda began taking in strays inside the infirmary, however, the doors to the infirmary were breached, forcing the survivors to escape to the roof, where David finally awoke. Unable to join them due to a twisted ankle after a fall, Amanda is rescued by Riley. The two escape alongside Ben, Leah, David, and Tara. Sometime after Crawford fell, however, Tara was separated from the rest of them.

As the group searches for Tara in the nearby town of Wilkerson, they are ambushed by Jenn and Steve, scouts for the Delta. Amanda, Leah, and David are taken by Steve, while Ben and Riley are taken by Jenn. Amanda is able to escape from the captors, despite them taking special interest in her, where she runs into Alexa.

Amanda and Alexa find themselves at an old Red Bull warehouse, where they run into Steve once more. Due to them specifically wanting Amanda, she offers to go with them if they let Alexa go. Steve seemingly agrees, then reveals he intends on killing Alexa since they don't need her. Amanda interferes, buying Alexa time to escape, at the cost of her own life.
