History: Amy was only seven when her parents were taken from her... having fallen victim to an evil coven of witches who were kidnapping people and absorbing their souls for magic. Of course, she was too young at the time to really understand what was happening, so when she and her brother were rescued by a man named Nolan and taken to stay with a couple named Jenna and Aaron, it didn't really register with her what exactly had happened. For quite a while she clung to her brother, and she went over a year without speaking to anyone but him. Nick was smart and brave and took care of her and finally was able to convince her to open up to the adults who had been there for the two of them.

When she finally was able to fully comprehend what had happened to her parents, that witches were responsible, it scared her. Nick was the opposite. He wanted to learn everything he could about witchcraft, having found a hero in Nolan to look up to. He started learning magic with Jenna, who was still new to the craft, even despite Amy begging him not to get involved. Nick always assured her that he would take care of her, but she couldn't help wondering who would take care of him?

While Nick was spending time with Jenna, Amy found herself hanging out with Aaron more. At first they would watch cartoons or play games together, but as Amy started to grow a bit older she became more openly curious about things she had seen or overheard between he and his wife. Aaron was open and honest with her about the monsters under the bed and what really lurked in the shadows.

She was about ten when Aaron and Jenna found out they were expecting. After much debate, she and Nick left a note to the couple and slipped out quietly one night, not wanting to stand in the way of their building a family, and possibly there was a bit of jealousy on the Mattingly kids' part, though neither of them would ever admit that. Nick was nearly eighteen by them, and the two of them went to live in a shelter until he was able to procure a job and a low rent apartment for them. It was a struggle, and they had to rely on scams and thievery just to acquire enough money to get by, but they managed. At least they had each other, and although she hated to admit it, Nick had learned some tricks that definitely helped matters now and then.

When Amy was fourteen, she expressed an interest in hunting, which is a decision that Nick wasn't having. He insisted that it was too dangerous, which is exactly what she told him about witchcraft. They argued about it for several months before she finally just decided to go out on her own. She had seen Aaron's obituary in the local paper and all she could think of was that there were lives out there now who wouldn't be saved because he wouldn't be around to save them. She wanted to be a hero like him... like Nolan. She wanted to save lives, and she couldn't let Nick stop her from what she felt was an important calling.

She still kept in touch with him even after she left, at first through burner phones so that he couldn't track her down. At the same time, she kept in touch with Nolan, who offered her advice and guidance as she began her life as a hunter. It wasn't easy at all being a young teenager, having to squat in empty houses or sneak into unlocked cars for warmth at night.. or having to pick pockets or scrounge for scraps out of the trash in order to eat some days, but she has managed, and she's learned. She's seen a lot of crap, especially for someone her age, but she's also saved quite a few lives, and she wouldn't trade that for all the luxury in the world.

About a month ago, her phone calls to Nick started going unanswered. Amy hitchhiked her way back home to find the apartment completely ransacked and her brother nowhere to be found. Now she's on the search for him, and she can't help thinking that witchcraft is surely involved.

RP Sample: The motion of Ellen's wave caught the corner of Dean's eye and he made his way over to her, sliding into the booth across from her. A waitress came over and he quickly asked for black coffee and 'what she's having', not really bothering with the menu because he wasn't in the mood to dilly-dally around with breakfast foods when there were more important things on his mind. "Hey Ellen," he said after the petite, middle-aged woman walked away, managing a small half-smile for his old friend that didn't quite reach his weary eyes. "You look good."

Dean cast a glance over his shoulder, reaching into his inner jacket pocket to be sure for the third time that everything he would need was in reach. It was times like this that he wished he had some way of knowing who was a demon and who wasn't short of splashing everyone in the establishment with holy water. That was just something he couldn't do, no matter how much he might want to. These last couple of years had really made him paranoid.

After scanning the room again he finally turned back around to face Ellen, leaning forward a little and keeping his voice low as he grabbed the ketchup bottle and shook it a little, making sure it wasn't empty. "So what's the 411?"
