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 lost 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; she hid him only through spite to 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 now 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 torchs and troops gathering there. Raphael left, saying he will be out for a while. He took care of the troops and the noises ceased. But eventually they 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 bitten the words from those days and smiled. For she must protect this world that he made.


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.



STAGES

-- Romanian Valley - Castle Siege (SC3)

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.
(Note: although this is really Raphael's stage, the fact Amy lives with him makes it her own as well. This is also the only stage in which she appears in Tales of Souls.)


CHARACTER ANALYSIS

In '' Soul Calibur III '' Amy uses The Create-a-Character "Rapier" Discipline. Like all other created styles, it has limited options in comparison to the standard (and more developed) styles of the Main Characters. Amy's style shares moves similar to those of Raphael, though lesser in range and effectiveness. On her side, Amy is the shortest character, allowing her to avoid certain combos and attacks.


TRIVIA

  • Amy only appeared in Soul Calibur II during the intro video.

  • Amy is made using original (not unlockable) parts from Character Creation; she even has her own body build and voice actor (even if it is one word and various grunts made when she is hit). However, she does have her own attack grunts and phrases, since Lynette, the shop keeper, shares the same voice. This brought some fans to believe that she will return in the next installment as a standard character with her own lines, attacks, and possibly a story. (As in a Tales of Souls story.)

  • It has been confirmed that Amy will appear as a standard character along with Hwang and Li Long in the arcade version of Soul Calibur III, "Soul Calibur III: Arcade Edition". Its confirmed she'll appear using an original move list.

  • Amy's discipline, "Rapier" is one of the few custom disciplines to have a taunt.

  • Some fans also speculate that Amy is in love with Raphael, much like Setsuka was with her deceased master. This theory has been spawned from the line in Raphael's bio that states, "and the taciturn girl who watched him leave betrayed no hint of what lay hidden in her heart.". She also refers to him as handsome in her own biography and sets out to protect everything he has done for her.

  • Amy's only line in the game is "Amy," which she says in Raphael's 1st ending, and in the loading screen before battle.

  • Amy's alignment is rather difficult to figure out. On one hand she seems to support what Raphael is doing. However in Raphael's bad ending she doesn't seem angry with what Kilik did, however it may be that she is forlorn and only wishes for Raphael to return home.

  • In Raphael's ending when you don't do the commands, Amy is purified by Kilik and Raphael is consumed by evil, but when you do, so the commands, both Amy and Raphael are consumed by evil.

  • Amy's Destined Battle (in Quick Play) is Raphael .
