Amygdala

> Villains aren't born, Darling. They're made. And I was made from anger, beauty, hate, and pain. All bottled up into one little mindscape. You made her snap, Styx. You made her into the villain she never wanted to be. Look in the mirror, Styx. You're not a hero. You're far from it. I'm doing this island a favor by getting rid of you.

## History

### Before Fortnite: FOR.

Amy grew up in a disregarding household. Often times, she'd run away from her childhood home to find a place where she truly belonged. She was even left for dead once by her biological father due to the fact she was ignorant and never listened to her biological father's commands. Eventually she left her childhood home for good at age 16 to pursue her horrific scientific interests. Which was around the time she met Doctor Krūger.

She met Doctor Krūger at a hospital, which he worked at the time. They had the same interests and goals in life, so Amy later became his lab assistant and eventual Foster Daughter. At age 17, she was attacked by her Ex-Boyfriend and later died due to her wounds.

Refusing death, Amy's soul fused with a random human, and has been living in the body since. She was then rifted to Reality Zero, where she was later reunited with her father after a few weeks.

After spending some time in Reality Zero, another person was present in her mind. A Shadow, of sorts. It never caused any problems, until one fateful day.

### During Fortnite: FOR.

Amygdala was more often times than not, a very neutral character. During **Season 1**, she first appeared in a more human-like form. She was very polite and kind to The High Stakes Club when they showed up to The Krūger household in need of assistance to heal Helsie back to normal heath after a brutal fight. According to Amy; she never really wandered out of her household. In fact, she hasn't seen the outside world in a good long while. She only knows about the outside through her Father. Later on in the series, she and her father joined *The Nothing* to help them takeover MEGA City. In the end, The Nothing was defeated and everything turned back to normal.

During **Season 2**, she was once again cast aside. She appeared in the finale to fight The Last Reality. However, she lost many people close to her. This included Raven, Doctor Krūger, and Styx. (Both Krūger and Styx came back to life later in Season 3. Raven, however, continues to stay dead for the rest of the series.) Before Krūger died, he gave Amy his Plague Doctor mask, asking her to "Continue the research." Amy does indeed do so in Season 3.

In **Season 3**, Amy changed her outfit to match with her Father; Becoming a Plague Doctor as well. During this time, it is revealed in the series that Amy is attracted to females, and has a crush on a girl named Zuri. Styx, more than happy to help, gives Amy advice on how to ask someone out. The advice works, and Amy later starts dating Zuri. In the finale, Amy helps with defeating criminals in the final attack for MEGA City.

In **Season 4**, Amy all of a sudden snaps. Becoming a corrupted version of herself. Far from the polite one everyone knew. As soon as Amy snapped, the Shadow in her mind took control of the body. Renaming herself to "The Scourge." Scourge then caused havoc on the island as a distraction from her real plan. Which is to release as many Shadows as she can to take over the island, and kill Styx once and for all. With the help of Shadow Midas and his army of Shadows, Scourge and Shadow Midas join forces. Starting a Shadow Empire in secret to take over the island.

During this time, Scourge also happens to stumble upon a troubled explorer named Lorenzo. Somehow, Scourge convinced Lorenzo to join her in creating havoc on the island as her assistant. Lorenzo happily agrees to the deal. Somewhere near the finale, The Scourge betrays Lorenzo because they couldn't steal Styx's axe. Which, in result, forces The Scourge to get rid of Lorenzo by throwing them off of the tallest building in MEGA City.

In the finale, Scourge finally gets her final fight with Styx. Somewhere in the middle of it, Etheria transfers Styx into Scourge's mind, thus making both of them pass out in the battlefield. Styx wakes up in Amy's Mindscape, and is greeted by **"The True Amy"** which is actually just Amy as a teenager. She guides Styx through the Mindscape, and explains to him that the Amy he knew and loved, was never meant to exist. Amy was meant to stay dead all those years ago, but refused death as has been living in pain and agony since. True Amy also explains to Styx that once she died, Scourge showed up "uninvited to the party" and corrupted Amy's mind in the afterlife. Which, is how Scourge showed up in the first place. True Amy was keeping Scourge locked up in the Mindscape, but she escaped. Thus, causing Scourge and "Fake Amy" to switch places. Amy was trapped, and Scourge was free. True Amy showed where Styx's Amy was all this time. Trapped in a little glass box, barely making any sounds. Styx places his hand on the box. Finally reunited with Amy, and knowing it may be the last time he will ever see her. With the little communication they had Amy tells Styx that he must kill The Scourge to finally let her, and the rest of the Amy's rest peacefully. Styx, full of sadness and pain, agrees.

Once Styx and Scourge woke up back on the battlefield, they fought for a little while longer, until Scourge gains the upper hand, knocks Styx to the ground, picks up his axe, and almost ends up killing him with his axe; But is distracted by Krūger right before she can behead Styx. Krūger secretly kicks Styx a knife to stab The Scourge with it, and he does just that. Killing The Scourge with his axe, causing her reign of terror to finally be over, ending the Shadow Empire, letting Amy finally be free in the afterlife, and giving her the "happy ending" she always wanted.

Years pass, and Amy is given a proper funeral. As Styx, Krūger, Dahlia, Zuri, and Highwire all say their prayers, True Amy and Fake Amy can be seen in the background. Waving goodbye to their family, and finally given a proper rest in heaven.
