Amanda Holliday: Difference between revisions

|affiliation=[[Vanguard]]<br>[[Royal Awoken Guard]]

'''Amanda Holliday''' was a [[human]] shipwright and pilot found in the [[Tower]]'s hangar. She repaired [[Guardian]]s' [[personal spaceship]]s, as well as sold new ships and [[Sparrow]]s. Amanda was also involved in organizing the [[Sparrow Racing League]] and worked closely with the SRL pilots to upgrade their Sparrows and experiment with new designs. During times of war Amanda also provided air support for [[Vanguard]] operations by bombing enemy positions and dropping off Guardians and supplies to the front lines.

However, prior to this, Amanda had learned Crow's former identity as Cayde's murderer, Uldren Sov, leading the shipwright to reject him, acting cold and distant towards Crow, much to his discomfort. Amanda was ultimately frustrated that the friend she had made was originally the one she had despised. These tumultuous feelings would come to a head as even after Crow was able to figure out why Amanda had been acting cold towards him, he wasn't sure how to approach her anymore, leading him to refrain in interacting with her for weeks. Furious, Amanda finally confronted Crow in person pointing her shotgun at his head, where she would denounce Crow as no different than Uldren, hurting the Lightbearer as he weakly attempted to apologize. Despite Crow's remorse, Amanda remained unmoved and angry, resulting in her cutting off Crow altogether calling him a murderer for killing Cayde who was like a father to her.

Amanda has shown and proven herself to be welcoming and open-minded, as she welcomed the Eliksni of the House of Light to the Last City, lending what aid she could to them despite losing her parents to their kind. Further, she was cautiously optimistic of the armistice with the Cabal Empire, believing it help end the fighting and ultimately lent enthusiastic support to the Vanguard-Cabal Coalition against the insurgents to Caiatl's rule.

Amanda had a close working relationship with all three members of the Vanguard and considered them family on account of them raising her after her parents died. She was particularly close to Cayde-6, as both were willing to bend or break the Vanguard's rules to get tasks done.<ref name="CS"/> The loss of Cayde-6 deeply affected her and Amanda supported the Young Wolf's execution of Uldren, believing that he got what was coming to him.<ref name="Behemoth"/> Ironically, she developed a friendship with Crow, Uldren Sov's new Lightbearer identity, but was unaware of this, due to Crow keeping his face hidden. Upon learning Crow's original identity, she basically rejected him, acting cold and snapping at him, calling the whole situation between them as a horrible twist of fate.
