 Amanda is the shortest of the main characters, slightly chubby woman nearing her 30th birthday. She's visibly pear-shaped with very prominent (but not comically wide) hips. Amanda is the shortest of the main characters, slightly chubby woman nearing her 30th birthday.

 Majority of Amanda'​s body is covered in tattoos from her angrier years. Even if today she embraces community building much more than smashing the state, she still likes them and proudly displays. She has her anarcha-feminist symbol on one arm, a snake wrapped over another, probably a small "​volume down" somewhere. Majority of Amanda'​s body is covered in tattoos from her angrier years.

-She prefers a backpack or messenger back over any kind of purse, and sometimes can be seen with a fanny pack. Being a sound engineer, Amanda can be often seen with big closed headphones (with a curly cable) over her ears or resting at her neck.+She prefers a backpack or messenger back over any kind of purse, and sometimes can be seen with a fanny pack.

 Amanda'​s hairstyle is quite bold and allows easy access to her ears (for work), but these are the only requirements. You can give her dreadlocks or brightly-colored ponytail - whatever you feel suits her more. Amanda'​s hairstyle is quite bold and allows easy access to her ears (for work), but these are the only requirements.

 +Amanda really enjoys sound - in a way few people actually do. She learned to enjoy different kinds of music, and likes playing with very experimental synth sounds, merging art with engineering.

She's set up the sound system in the Space and actually instructs people how to use it without damaging their ears.
  
 She's got a small collection of used audio equipment and old synthesizers she plays with, composing little tracks and putting them on the Internet either anonymously or under a pseudonym. She's got a small collection of used audio equipment and old synthesizers she plays with, composing little tracks and putting them on the Internet either anonymously or under a pseudonym.

 Long years in the anarchist community taught Amanda how to organize ​ people - and made her feel responsible for communities she is a part of. Even though she treats 'Space mostly as her workshop, a place where she can unwind and play some synthesizers,​ something calls her to give a fuck even about this place. Long years in the anarchist community taught Amanda how to organize ​ people - and made her feel responsible for communities she is a part of.
