| — Amanda in "In the Kitchen" | ||
Amanda is the titular character and one of the antagonists in Amanda the Adventurer and Amanda the Adventurer 2. She stars as the titular host of her TV show, Amanda the Adventurer, taking the audience and her companion Wooly along on everyday adventures.
She was inspired and voice acted by the show's creator's adoptive daughter, Rebecca Colton. However, her soul is implied to be trapped in Amanda's body, most likely a result of Hameln Entertainment's experiments.
Appearance[]
Amanda is a young African-American girl, with a dark-almond skin complexion, alongside her black poofy hair that is styled into twin afro-puffs resembling mouse-ears. Whenever Amanda is stable, her brown eyes normally look doll-like; but when she turns unstable, her eyes become twitching with contracted black pupils.
She wears a yellow shirt and aquamarine shorts with purple socks and yellow sneakers.
Personality[]
At first glance, Amanda seems to be an average cartoon character for young audiences; A kind, sweet, and helpful girl who helps viewers pick the right options.
However, the more episodes that Riley watches, the more aggressive and sinister Amanda becomes in them. Every time Riley answers incorrectly, Amanda becomes irritated and impatient to the point where she makes things easier for the viewers (mainly for herself) by removing the incorrect options through hacking just to force the viewer to say the correct answer.
If Riley upsets Amanda enough, a creature implied to be her monstrous form appears at Riley's house, where she proceeds to slaughter the viewers. However, her behavior may suggest that this process isn't exactly voluntary.[1][2]
History[]
Pilot Episode[]
Baking a Pie[]
Amanda and Wooly introduce themselves.
The episode starts with Amanda and Wooly greeting the viewer, followed by Amanda stating that she loves apples and asks the viewer if they do too. Wooly adds that he's allergic to apples, but Amanda reassures him that it's "okay" and he should "never be afraid to try something new!". Wooly then says that they don't know where the store is, so Amanda asks the viewer to help find it.
If the viewer chooses the incorrect locations, those being a house and a swing set, they disappear.
Amanda and Wooly enter the store when chosen, where they find crates of apples and oranges. Amanda asks the viewer if they can say "Apple". If the viewer refuses to do this, she somehow forces them to say it. Afterward, Amanda compliments the viewer before saying that they can now make an apple pie, ending the episode.
Going to the Store[]
The episode starts with Wooly trying to tell the viewer something before getting interrupted by Amanda's appearance, with the two greeting the viewer again. She tells them that they are getting meat for their Grandma, even though Wooly remarks that she's a vegetarian. Amanda asks where the butcher is, the Ice cream store disappearing if the viewer chooses it.
Entering the Butcher's shop, Amanda greets the "meat man" and asks the viewer to tell him what they need. If the viewer refuses, Amanda gets irritated and forces them to say "meat".
Wooly is frightened by Amanda.
While the meat man is cutting a chunk of meat, Amanda stops smiling and turns her head towards Wooly, frightening him, and the episode ends there.
Finding Treasure[]
Amanda and Wooly are searching for treasure via a treasure map. They enter the woods, with Amanda asking Wooly if he is excited, repeating it (in a deeper tone) due to him being inattentive. Amanda asks the viewer to show them where "X marks the spot".
Upon finding it, Amanda explains that she brought three tools: A crowbar, a rope, and a shovel. After explaining that they already used the crowbar for a door, and the rope for an unknown use, she will then point to the shovel. Just as they're about to dig up the treasure, Wooly snaps and says that he's had enough, and breaks the fourth wall by grabbing the camera and telling the viewer to burn the tapes. While this is happening, Amanda levitates, progressively getting angrier as Wooly goes on. The video cuts to static, with Amanda presumably killing Wooly offscreen.
Making New Friends[]
The episode starts with Amanda, alone, in front of a house and a swing set, saying "It's dark out. Let's go home." The viewer's refusal will cause the swing set to disappear, Amanda menacingly telling them to "Click the house!"
Then, Amanda will be on the house's porch, telling the viewer to knock on the door, desperate to get inside.
Amanda right before disappearing.
After selecting the door, the viewer hears knocking that doesn't seem to be coming from the TV. As the door opens, Amanda's body twists and distorts, and her pupils disappear, her last words being "Let me in!" in a distorted, demonic tone before she's replaced with a silhouette filled with static. After the viewer begins to say something, the TV turns off, revealing the reflection of a tall gray creature with multiple eyes standing behind them.
Amanda the Adventurer[]
In the Kitchen[]
Amanda and Wooly preparing the pie.
Amanda greets Riley and tells them that she and Wooly are going to make an apple pie. She then asks Riley what their favorite kind of pie is, agreeing with them no matter what they answer. However, giving unconventional answers like "organs" or "human" has her agree in a sinister voice, which worries Wooly. Then, Amanda asks Riley what they could use to cut the apples, which is a "sharp knife."
Wooly is uncomfortable as they're using the knife without supervision, but Amanda only mocks him. She then cuts the apples and gathers the other ingredients, but asks Riley to help find the sugar. Answering incorrectly results in Amanda getting annoyed, before the incorrect options, the sink and fridge, disappear.
Amanda and Wooly have prepared the pie, but Wooly is concerned about using the oven without parental help. Amanda's "not sure where they are right now", so they continue anyways. She gives the instructions for baking the pie, and afterward, celebrates their newly baked pie.
In Your Neighborhood[]
Amanda and Wooly in front of the shops.
Amanda and Wooly are in front of a corner store, bakery, and post office. She tells Riley she wants to send something special to her friend, asking them to point her to the corner store to find a card. Amanda quickly becomes unamused if Riley chooses incorrectly.
Once in the store, she tells Riley that this friend helped her when she was sad, so she asks what type of card should be sent, once again becoming irritated if Riley is incompetent. After getting the right card, Amanda adds that she also wants to get a special treat for her friend, while ignoring Wooly's request for a treat. She asks Riley to point her to the bakery, reacting sarcastically if they choose the post office.
Inside the bakery, Amanda wants to buy her friend cookies, asking Riley to show them where they are. This time, Amanda reacts aggressively to Riley's incompetence. Finding the cookies, Amanda mentions that she has one last step, which is mailing the package through the post office since the friend lives far away. At the post office, she realizes she forgot her friend's name, desperately asking Riley to help her remember. Riley (is forced to) correctly answers with their aunt, Katherine Park, causing Amanda to rejoice.
In Your Neighborhood (Version 2)[]
Amanda and Wooly are now in front of a corner store, meat store, candy store, and post office. She starts by ignoring Wooly when he asks if some of their friends "can come back to the neighborhood". Amanda then tells Riley she, yet again, wants to send something special to her friend, the first step being to go to the corner store to buy a card.
Once at the store, she ominously says, "Something... bad happened..." before asking Riley what card she should get. However, none of the cards are the right answer, leaving Amanda confused and causing Wooly to step in. He whispers to Riley that it's his birthday and that they could use it to help Amanda. Upon choosing the birthday card, Amanda is unsure, but Wooly reassures her that her friend will love it.
Back on the street, Amanda, after struggling to recall, realizes it's her friend's birthday, prompting her to ask Riley where the candy store is to get her friend some candy. Amanda will assist Riley by making the other stores disappear if they choose incorrectly. Before they can go, all of the stores suddenly become the meat store, upsetting her as she's now lost and asks Riley to help. Since they can only choose the meat store, Amanda gets angrier, with a second voice starting to layer under hers. After panicking about losing control, she and Wooly are forced to enter.
Amanda and Wooly end up in the Butcher's shop.
With nothing in the store that Amanda wants, Wooly asks Amanda if maybe she could take them someplace else. Amanda then tells Riley that she wants to get her friend a special treat, restating it after they choose the meats or the cleaver. After choosing another object, Amanda snaps by yelling "LET ME OUT OF HERE!!", before she and Wooly suddenly are back on the street, all of the stores destroyed.
Wooly awkwardly asks Amanda if she's ready to give the birthday card to her friend. Forgetting who this friend is, she asks Riley to help address the card. Answering with Wooly, she realizes it's his birthday and goes to give the card to him.
Oh No! Accidents![]
Amanda injures Wooly.
Alone at a playground, Wooly tries to tell Riley something but the video cuts, his knee now injured whilst crying on the ground. Amanda has appeared, who hurt Wooly for most likely trying to tell Riley something that would go against her. Noticing Riley's still watching, Amanda attempts to act shocked by Wooly's accident, explaining that accidents are "not anybody's fault" and that they can happen almost everywhere. She then explains that Wooly tripped and fell while they were playing at 3:45 PM.
Wooly tries to say this is untrue, but Amanda cuts him off by asking Riley where he hurt himself, urging them if they answer incorrectly. Confirming that it's Wooly's knee, she asks who can help when one is injured. If Riley repeatedly answers incorrectly, Amanda has an outburst, exclaiming, "WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?!" She tries to act friendly after the video cuts but then states that she's running out of patience. After answering with "Doctor", Amanda takes Wooly to the hospital so that he can see a doctor.
At the hospital, Amanda asks Riley which room they should enter to find the right doctor for Wooly. She exclaims that Wooly's "in a lot of pain!" if they choose incorrectly. They then enter the room for those with broken bones. Wooly asks when the doctor will treat him, but Amanda tells him the doctor isn't here, so she'll check Wooly's injury herself. She asks Riley which tool they can use to check his injury, being a heart monitor, X-ray machine, or scale. After choosing the X-ray machine, which Amanda can use to see Wooly's bones, the episode abruptly ends.
Oh No! Accidents! (Version 2)[]
Wooly cowers.
Alone at the playground again, Wooly asks if Riley trusts him. Before they can answer, Amanda, offscreen, asks if Wooly's "Ready for an adventure?" Wooly panics and then cowers as a distorted Amanda looms over him. After the video cuts, a normal Amanda is seen next to Wooly, claiming that Wooly had an accident. She explains that sometimes nobody can help a friend in need, but she and Riley can try.
Wooly panics, trying to reassure Amanda that he's fine, but she cuts him off by saying he's confused and that he really needs help. But first, she asks Riley to find Wooly's broken part. Choosing incorrectly, Amanda claims that "things will get very, very bad!" if they don't fix Wooly now, and then, she shoves the camera in his face, thinking that only she can see what's wrong.
Finally choosing Wooly's head, Amanda claims it's broken but that "Doctor Amanda" can help. To "prepare the patient", she gives Wooly a drink, Amanda reassuring him that it's merely just pretend. This drink is a drug that causes Wooly to fall unconscious. The two are then seen in a bloody operation room, an unconscious Wooly on the operating table. Amanda asks Riley what tool they should use to operate on Wooly's brain, being a saw, hammer, or forceps.
After giving excuses for not using an object, she then reveals that she tricked Riley and that they'll use all three, and as Wooly wakes up, Amanda appears on top of him with the saw. The two engage in a struggle, Wooly pleading for help as Amanda asks Riley who they'll assist.
Choosing Amanda allows her to subdue Wooly by smacking him in the face with the saw, knocking him out. She reassures him that "Everything will be okay."
Choosing Wooly causes Amanda to express disappointment, before stating that she can finish the operation by herself. She tells Riley to go away as she raises the saw, preparing to cut into Wooly.
In both outcomes, static fills the video as Amanda begins sawing into Wooly, his screaming being the last heard of him.
Everything Rots![]
Amanda and Wooly having a picnic.
Amanda and Wooly are having a picnic. Amanda starts by asking the viewer what their favorite picnic food is but doesn't like their answer. Then, Wooly complains about a smell, with Amanda agreeing that it's a "bad smell", so she asks Riley to find the source. They find it's coming from a moldy sandwich, which is "stinky because it's rotting!"
The two are then suddenly at a rotting tree stump, Amanda explains that things rot when they're not alive, and asks Riley if they know what the opposite of alive is. After answering with "Dead", Amanda explains how plants can die with Wooly trying to convince her to return to their picnic.
Then, they encounter a deceased fox in a bush whom Amanda names Mr. Fox. After pointing out that he's "dead and rotting", she asks Riley to find what killed him, the options being a gun, knife, or the bush's poisonous berries. However, Amanda reveals that a bear trap in the bush caused his death and that he "didn't even know what got him until it was too late." Wooly expresses discomfort from this lesson, but Amanda merely rolls his eyes at him.
At a hill, Amanda recaps the rotting things she saw, before ominously stating that she sometimes feels like she's rotting too, but that it "feels far away." Irritated, Wooly states that nothing there is rotten, but Amanda wants to know if Riley thinks that everything rots. Wooly tries to tell her that they don't, but she angrily tells him that she isn't asking him.
If Riley refuses to give Amanda a direct answer, and in a moment of distress, she makes Wooly disappear. After forcing Riley to say "Yes", she however thinks "it might be too late..." and the video fades to static.
If Riley says no, then Wooly agrees with her and Amanda looks away with disappointment while the video fades to static.
In both outcomes, Riley sees a giant grey creature, Amanda's monster form, break into the attic, where she kills Riley.
What's a Family?[]
Amanda and Wooly are visiting a petting zoo. She starts by indirectly making fun of Wooly for being a sheep, before asking Riley if they can make a sheep noise. Amanda then talks about how animals are very different from humans, such as being able to talk, causing Wooly to tell her that he can speak, but she gives him the hand and ignores him. Amanda then makes the sounds of a goat, chicken, and pig, making Wooly uncomfortable. Now, wanting to see an animal family, she asks Riley to point her toward the chicken pen.
At the pen, Amanda sees mommy and baby chickens and pauses when she sees the daddy chicken, prompting her to ask Riley if they know what the daddy is called. If Riley were to answer "Sam", Amanda stops, confused by their knowledge of that name. Answering with "Rooster", Amanda gives the proper names of the chickens, before noting that some hens eat their babies, followed by a hen doing just that.
Wanting to see more animal families, Amanda goes to visit the sheep pen, where Wooly is acting like a domestic sheep. Amanda then notices a kitten next to her without a family, Amanda deeming her "alone" and helpless. She asks Riley if they will help the kitten. Answering with yes, Amanda stares at them, smiling, for a moment before the tape ends.
If Riley keeps answering no, Amanda progressively becomes upset, before falling to her knees, sobbing. As everything around her distorts and disappears, Amanda levitates, her body parts twitching and rotating everywhere, before being shown in front of the camera with multiple eyes, showing her true colors, exclaiming "WON'T YOU HELP THE LONELY KITTEN?!". She then appears in her monster form at Riley's house, killing them.
[]
Amanda is by herself on a couch in a room, drawing a picture of Mr. Fox in the bear trap. She explains to Riley that people can share many things when they're friends, such as crayons, toys, and snacks. Opening her lunchbox to reveal unconventional snacks, Amanda asks Riley which they would like. Afterward, she explains that friends can also share secrets, and asks Riley if they would like to hear her secret.
If they decline, Amanda expresses disappointment, believing that Riley was "different." With everything suddenly cleared from Riley's attic and a piece of paper in the center with "LEAVE" on it, Amanda simply wants Riley to just go.
If they accept, Amanda reveals that she's "out there... somewhere...", followed by the TV freaking out, most likely from someone trapped inside trying to escape. The nightmare finally ends when Riley throws a brick at the TV, destroying it.

Wooly[]

In the main game, Wooly is not so afraid of Amanda, though he is more nervous. When Wooly tries to tell the player something important, Amanda breaks his knee. The next time he tries to repeat this, Amanda will say that Wooly's head is "broken" and that we need to fix it. Whatever action is chosen next, Amanda likely kills him.
