Amanda Whitaker

Amanda Whitaker is Faye's little sister. She first appeared at Marten's apartment^[2] after being kicked out of home by her mother for being a lesbian (among other things), but after talking to her mother she moved back in.

Evie is Amanda's girlfriend.

Background[]

Education[]

Amanda is a college student majoring in modern dance, a major she switched to from pre-med.^[2]

Family[]

She is also the first character to allude to or reference the death of David Whitaker and the effect it had on Faye.^[3]

Amanda had the healthiest reaction in the family to her father's suicide, grieving and moving on.^[4] She was upset at Faye's reaction, though, thinking that she didn't care.^[5]

She is skinnier and less intelligent than Faye,^[6] but shares her older sister's strong will.^[7]

Occupation[]

According to Faye, she has never held a job.^[8]

Plot Foreshadowing[]

Marten said of Amanda "She's more like a Vespa crashing into a stop sign".^[9] This prefigures the Vespavenger story.

Memorable quotes[]

"That was the day I learned that there's no way you can remove your head from another girl's crotch in a nonchalant manner."^[10]
"Well, let's just say mom didn't take too kindly to the news that I'm switchin' majors from pre-med to modern dance, or that I failed all my classes last semester, or that I'm a lesbian."^[11]
"Yeah it's nice to occasionally be reminded that I'm the SANE daughter."^[12]
"Holy shit, you did get buff!"—talking about Faye's muscles.^[13]
