Amanda O’Neill is a tall girl (5’6″–5’7″) with short, upward-pointing orange hair with salmon undertones, amaranth eyebrows, and light green eyes. Her standard Luna Nova uniform includes a vest, dark blue skirt, white shirt, and a green sash and hatband, paired with grayish-brown sports shoes. Out of uniform, she typically wears a pale blue tank top, dark brown shorts, and white slippers.

In disguise as a male student at Appleton Academy, she slicks her hair back and wears a black suit over a white shirt and tie with gray pants and black shoes. Her tomboyish appearance is convincing enough to fool most students, even attracting a crush from Hannah.

Amanda is a self-proclaimed “rebel”: fun-loving, unruly, and hedonistic. She has little respect for authority, takes a relaxed approach to schoolwork, and avoids effort unless a task interests her. When motivated, especially in broom flying, she performs with full enthusiasm. Athletic, acrobatic, and somewhat kleptomaniacal, Amanda is reckless but capable, valuing fun over strict rules. Despite her tomboyish independence, she is deeply loyal and compassionate toward her friends.

Amanda excels in broom flying, demonstrating speed, agility, and acrobatic “dance” maneuvers, though often recklessly. She wields a wand for spellcasting and moving objects and is skilled in Metamorphosis Magic, able to conjure flowers and magically change clothing.

She is a capable close-combat fighter, using swift kicks and agility, and is proficient with swords, able to repair and fuse a rapier with her wand into a dual-bladed weapon, likely through Fundamental Alchemy. Amanda’s combination of magical skill, physical prowess, and creativity makes her a versatile and formidable witch-in-training.
