## Biography

Amy is a Detective Chief Inspector in the Scottish police.

She was in a car accident with her long-term boyfriend Iain and his daughter Poppy. When the car fell into a lake and started sinking, Amy was faced with a choice whether to save Iain or Poppy. She managed to bring Poppy to shore and tried to go back to the wreck for Iain, but was unable to save him. This even left her deeply traumatized, and her mental state worsened when Iain parents took Poppy to live with them, because although she was very close with the girl, she was not her mother.

Amy is chosen to lead a murder investigation on Vigil, one of the submarines carrying Trident warheads that serve as the British nuclear deterrent. When the case is solved, she settles down with her girlfriend Kirsten and adopts Poppy. She is later sent to the Middle Eastern country of Wudyan to investigate a terrorist attack carried out from there on British soil using cutting-edge military drones.
