Amanda Holliday: Difference between revisions

While travelling with another family who had a young daughter named [[Lucia]], the band was forced to take shelter in a crashed dropship in a forest due to bad weather. While the adults scavenged food, water, and supplies nearby, Amanda and Lucia were bored and began making decorations to brighten their refuge at Nora's suggestion. Amanda was shown by Lucia how to work with the electronic components they scavenged form the dropship which they used to create small lights all around the ship. Once they finished decorating, the families made up songs to sing together to celebrate and pass the time. Not long after this Amanda and her family became separated from Lucia's family, and she never learned the fate of her friend.<ref name="DBtD">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]:  [[Lore:Dawning_Delights#Dawning_Before_the_Dawning|Dawning Before the Dawning]]''</ref>

Nearly a year after the Red War, the Last City suffered another tragedy when [[Cayde-6]] was murdered by Prince [[Uldren Sov]] of the [[Reef]] and the [[Baron]]s of the [[Scorn]]. Amanda mourned her fallen friend, and talked with the Young Wolf before they departed the Tower to hunt Cayde's killers in the [[Tangled Shore]]. She discussed some of her past of being born outside the walls of the Last City and how her mother had died during the crossing of the Panama Ravine and her father just a half-day away from the gates of the Last City. Amanda admitted it had taken her time to feel safe in the Last City and that working with Guardians had comforted her since they usually never died, at least until recent events. Despite her grief, Amanda resolved to push forward because she knew Cayde would not want her dwelling on his death and the past.<ref name="LC"/>
