Description
Amanda O'Neill is an Irish-American witch from New York, standing between 5'6" and 5'7" and weighing around 51 kilograms. She has short, upward-pointing orange hair with light red undertones, light green eyes, and thick reddish eyebrows. She customizes her Luna Nova Magical Academy uniform with a green sash belt and grayish-brown sports shoes, and in casual settings she favors practical attire like pale blue tank tops and dark brown shorts. For covert operations, she has been known to adopt a convincing male disguise with a black suit and slicked-back hair. Amanda comes from considerable wealth tied to a business empire bolstered by her grandmother’s fortune-telling abilities; after her grandmother passed away, she entered Luna Nova under intense familial pressure to inherit that magical legacy, a path she resisted through calculated misbehavior aimed at provoking expulsion.

At school, Amanda is a member of the so-called “problem group” and is roommates with her two closest friends, Jasminka Antonenko and Constanze Amalie von Braunschbank Albrechtsberger. She has a reputation for delinquency, having been found guilty of breaking and entering with the intent to steal from the academy’s storehouses or vaults. She proudly calls herself a rebel, with little respect for authority figures or school rules, which she often breaks for the thrill of it or out of a desire for freedom. Her attitude toward formal studies is largely apathetic, finding classes boring and preferring the easy way out, which results in poor grades even in broom flying—her natural talent is often marked down for her rule‑breaking flair. When a task genuinely captures her interest, however, she dedicates herself with enthusiasm and refuses to conform to any style that feels restrictive. Though she can be hot‑blooded, rude, and exhibits kleptomaniac tendencies, she is also deeply caring and loyal, showing genuine compassion for those she considers close.

Amanda’s primary motivations are hedonistic: she seeks fun, parties, and treasures, often sneaking into forbidden places for excitement. She dislikes having her freedom limited, but over time she begins to find genuine value in her school life and friendships. Her pride and competitive spirit are major drivers, especially when she feels challenged or insulted. In the story, she becomes significantly involved by helping Atsuko “Akko” Kagari with a magical parade project, initially losing faith but eventually returning to complete the preparations and playing a key role with her broom‑riding agility. Her role expands alongside Akko’s adventures, where her skills as a thief and acrobat often prove useful. Her relationship with Akko evolves from teasing and arguments into a strong friendship; she enjoys provoking Akko but is always ready to defend her, and she becomes one of her most enthusiastic supporters. Her relationship with Diana Cavendish is antagonistic, resenting Diana’s perfect, disciplined demeanor while Diana disapproves of Amanda’s lack of seriousness, though they can work together when necessary.

Amanda is exceptionally athletic and agile, widely considered one of the fastest and most acrobatic broom flyers at the academy, capable of impressive aerial tricks and maneuvering through tight spaces. Her talent for dancing complements her flying style, allowing for fluid movement. As a witch, she can perform elemental magic including fire, lightning, ice, and earth, as well as metamorphosis spells to transform clothing or conjure flowers. She is skilled at sneaking past security, picking locks, and fighting with an unorthodox, agility‑based style that incorporates kicks and acrobatics. She also shows skill with blades, once repairing a bent rapier and fusing it with her wand using alchemy to create a dual‑bladed magic weapon. Her birthday is March 17, she has O blood type, and early concept art featured the working name “Mandy.” Throughout the series, she shows subtle but clear development, moving from a lazy rebel who only cares about her own fun to someone more invested in the well‑being of her friends and the success of their shared goals, while her pride and competitive nature become increasingly tempered by loyalty and camaraderie.
