Amanda Laurent

**Amanda Laurent** ( ローラン・アマンダ, *Rōran Amanda* ) is a prostitute and one of the few participants in the Death Game.

## Appearance

Amanda Laurent is a tall, lean woman characterized by wavy blonde hair and gray/dusky brown colored eyes.

In the Death Game, she is seen wearing her work uniform which consists of lingerie, thigh-high fishnets, tall black boots with heels and a pair of black fingerless gloves. When she arrived in the first trial, she found she was also wearing a raggedy jean jacket that does not belong to her - but she keeps for the rest of her time in the game.

Like other participants of the Death Game, she wears a collar device.

## Personality

When Amanda is first introduced to the rest of the participants, like Reko, she is very angry and very protective of her son - under the false belief that she'd been kidnapped by regulars at the Club in which she worked at. Once she figures out this is not so, she visibly relaxes a little - but continues pressing everyone there for their side of the story. Her dislike for Shin begins when he catches the man looking at her son all grossed out.

For the rest of the first floor, she proves herself to be a helpful member of the group by offering insight and support to members that needed it like: Gin Ibushi, Sara Chidouin, Joe Tazuna and Nao Egokoro. Of course, as well as her own son - who she continues to prioritize and keep close to her.

When she is confronted by other characters, or by Rio on the 3rd floor when he begins to attack her son with verbal insults about his father - she is not one to hesitate and say what she believes, similar to her first confrontation with Hiyori. It is obvious she is very determined as well, fueled with the ambition to keep her son (who had received a 6.3% alive) she is overprotective of him, but she still manages to make friends with some characters like Alice who in fact did get on her good side.

## Relationships

### Sara Chidouin

Her relationship with Sara Chidouin is that of an older figure as she wants to keep Keiji away from her, considering that he is an older man she did not want Sara to be taken advantage of or swayed to make decisions that were not in the best interest of anybody.

### Ranmaru Kageyama

For Ranmaru, her relationship is more motherly as she pities the boy at first- and depending on Logic/Emotion route, her opinion in him changes as during Logic Route she completely renounces and refuses to offer the boy any comfort after he killed Alice/Reko. Her reaction is worse in the Logic/Alice route.

### Gin Ibushi

Like Sou, she treats him a bit like her own son - or atleast tries to consider his attachment to Sara; and obviously Amanda understanding that usually tries to distract Gin - and talks to him... but unfortunately, they never do get that same mother/son relationship, which neither of them minds as she does comfort him often.

### Sou/Ai Laurent

She adores her son. Adores might be an understatement, because even if she had him at a young age, she can't help but want to do nothing but keep him safe and happy and feeling loved. When they are together, she is often found holding his hand, hugging him, holding him, kissing him, playing with him or even just talking to him - but they are found together always, unless something bad is happening or she has gone into an attraction... which she usually leaves him with Alice, or anyone she has come to trust for him to watch while she comes out. On the 4th floor, she has lost a lot of faith in many - especially since Kanna died, so she is not risking it and rather leaves Sou outside of any room that might have a trap in it. Which was what happened after her untimely demise.

### Alice Yabusame

She and Alice become close quickly as Alice compliments her on her son's behavior and how brave he's been pretty quickly after they arrive. The two are seen chatting with each other or helping each other figure out things until Alice begins to hang around Shin Tsukimi a lot - in which their closeness grows apart slightly, but after arguments between the two he usually steps in to calm the waters... which sometimes works sometimes doesn't.

### Shin Tsukimi

She is not a big fan of Shin Tsukimi, at least at first considering he took Sou's name - but due to the memory loss of forgetting Sou's last name, she doesn't really think much of it except maybe a little weird. Her real problem with Shin starts once he begins to make passive-aggressive comments at her or her son about his appearance or his father, in which she is quick to snap in and argue about. When Shin tells her about all the horrible things Hiyori did on the 3rd floor, however, she empathizes with the man as well as being upset - and angry, and not believing him until Hiyori proves it right in front of her.

### Sou Hiyori

Her relationship with Hiyori is complicated, considering he is the father of her son she once *adored* him, and for a while after she was completely ghosted, she tried to contact him all up to the day she gave birth, in which she left him a voicemail informing them about their son before never contacting him again.

Before the Death Game, she could sometimes be found in her home looking at old pictures, and either crying, or tearing said pictures up only to tape back together. During the game, specifically after her interaction with Shin she is taken aback and horrified about him - but when the two meet face to face Hiyori tries to use those lingering emotions of love in her before he fully drops the act, and she has the right to become angry.

During her final moments as she is torn apart, when she sees Hiyori, she is characterized by feeling many emotions such as pain, rage and sadness as she grieved the fact that she'd never see her son again, and that he might die. This gives her one last boost, one last attempt to try to fight before she expires. In which then Midori takes her body and dissects it for its organs in the office.
