	Everything changed the day of the 20XX Universe Expo. Wonders from all over had come, along with scores of normal folks. The evil android [[Superior]] used the Expo as yet another plan to wipe out mankind. Using nanocontrollers to take control of hundreds of the attendees, along with repli-bots he'd secretly inserted into several displays, Superior mounted an assault to capture [[Dr. Thadeus Gold]]'s Ionic Reactor, the centerpiece of the Expo. With the reactor's nearly limitless energy supply, Superior would be free from the need to recharge his own power cells, able to operate anywhere. Worse, he'd be able to run his nanofactories almost continuously. Soon, the world would be shrouded in the Age of the Machine.		Everything changed the day of the 20XX Universe Expo.

'''IDENTITY''': Public 
'''CONCEPT''': Creepy Girl 
'''POWER LEVEL''': PL10 / 150 pp 

===Personal Details===
====APPEARANCE====
Mandy is slight and willowy, with long hair so blond it's nearly white. Her eyes are smokey blue, except when she invokes a ghost, in which case they turn white (or red when the ghost has completely taken over).

In civilian clothes, Mandy prefers understated elegance. Since her Origin, she usually wears somber colors, but every once in a while hints of the slightly mischiveous, spritely girl she once was show through.

Her uniform is a black cassock with gold trim. (unless I change my mind, and since she's a fashion designer, I'm tempted to have her be always changing her costume)

====BACKGROUND====
Mandy grew up in Paragon City, surrounded by Wonders. The fact she didn't have powers of her own never bothered her much. Almost everyone in the family got them, eventually.

Amidst the terror of the battle, Amanda's power emerged. She was overwhelmed with so many deaths. Only a fraction died close enough to her to be absorbed, but even so, the stress was too much. She fell into a coma.

====PERSONALITY====
Amanda is the quiet one. She wasn't, before, but now she's become a lot more withdrawn. Partially, this is because at any given moment, at least one spirit has something to say, and they sometimes distract Mandy. She's having a hard time remembering how to deal with living people. Occasionally, glimmers of her old personality shine through, particularly if someone makes an effort to draw her out of her shell.

She's determined to be a hero, even though the prospect of being around more dying people scares her. Lady Brightstar is trying to mold Amanda into a replacement, which Amanda sometimes resents. But Lady Brightstar was Amanda's hero as a child. And now she has kind of a girl-crush on her. (This is, of course, a really complicated relationship. Lady Brightstar was a lesbian, and now is dead. Nobody said growing up was easy)

Amanda's tactics usually concern protecting the innocent and preserving lives. She has to be adaptable, based on which spirits will cooperate and which have useful powers and skills to offer.
