Amy's edgy, sassy, and exudes a wisdom beyond her years, which is just as well as she likes everyone to believe she's 19. She's not had an easy start at life, having been bounced around from foster home to foster home, but she seems to have found a kindred spirit in Val. A quick learner and an instinctive judge of character, Amy will not hesitate to exploit her looks to get what she wants but at times can veer between the woman she wants to be and the young girl she still is.
