[edit] Biography

Amy was a poor orphan who lived on the streets of Rouen. Her parents died of a plague that had spread across all of Europe during this time period. She had no other family to go to after the loss of her parents. One day she came across a man named Raphael, who was being chased by the local authorities. She hid Raphael from the soldiers who were pursuing him; through only in spite of the soldiers, who ran her poverty stricken town. As Raphael had never owed his life to anyone before, he felt he must protect and repay her. He felt something he never had before for Amy, so took her in to his home and looked after her as his own daughter, to repay her for the kindness she had shown to him.

One day, Raphael returned from a vicious battle with the wielder of Soul Edge, Nightmare. Raphael collapsed before Amy's eyes and she nursed him back to consciousness. When he came round he told her that through the battle he had become infected by the evil seed, and by handling his blood, she was also infected. Amy had always found it hard to open her heart to the world, but now she couldn't even try because she was too different from everyone else. She was no longer human. She went with Raphael to the castle he bought in Romania. She sat in a dim room seeing the torches and troops gathering there. Raphael left, saying he will be out for a while. He took care of the troops and the noises ceased. They eventually returned, but he didn't. He left her... And now the noises and light spread violently in the world he made, bringing it to ruins. She stood up and went to the exit. She was bitten the words from those days and smiled. For she must protect this world that he made.

[edit] Soul Calibur 3 ending

Because she isn't a official character she has no SC3 ending. However she appears in both of Raphael's. The one where the buttons aren't pressed, she is healed by Kilik while an infected Raphael heads their way. If the buttons are pressed then he will arrive to a still cursed Amy with plans to make her a world.

[edit] Weapons

-- Albion

Amy wields a rapier named Albion. Aside from its name, nothing else is known about it. It was probably given to her by Raphael. However, it closely resembles the Queen's Guard, Raphael's ultimate weapon from Soul Calibur II.

[edit] Stages

-- Romanian Valley - Castle Siege (SC3:AE)

Amy shares this stage with Raphael. It has been more than 100 years since Vlad the Impaler led his army against the Ottoman Turks and crossed swords with the Sultan in order to protect this land and his home country of Walachia. Located somewhere in the deep mists of the southern Carpathian Mountains, this castle was not originally designed for a battle of that nature, but it was now about to face exactly that. The army of the Duchy of Walachia surrounded the castle and, seeing that the master of the castle was not going to give up without a fight, began their attack. No one knows why the national army initiated such a large-scale move, but the rumors say that a contagious disease that brings with it mysterious symptoms was spreading from beneath the castle, and the country had moved to destroy it at the source.
