Amy was born in the north of Scotland where she grew up with her mother, father and older sister, Lynsey. She was popular during high school, and moved away from home to attend the University of Edinburgh as a Social Policy and Sociology student, where she also served as president of the students' LGBT+ society.
Initially, Amy had ambitions of becoming a police officer. Throughout her first degree she began waitressing, working her way through various part-time jobs to pay her way. She would frequently spend her summers visiting her sister in her relocated home on Australia.
She left Edinburgh after her graduation to take a job as HR Administrator for a law firm in Glasgow. Upon earning her Master's degree in Social Work, which she studied part-time for, Amy moved to working in social services.
Throughout her early 20s, Amy dated frequently but didn't often remain in relationships for long. A few years on, however, she found herself in a relationship that quickly became serious, surprising herself in finding finding somebody that she intended to spend the rest of her life with. When their health deteriorated, resulting by their death by suicide, Amy moved to stay with her sister in Australia for a few months

Amy possesses localized time manipulation powers, which she gained during the particle accelerator explosion. Her partner's death by suicide left her overwhelmed with grief, guilt, and loneliness. Unable to cope with the emotional pain, Amy turned to her newfound abilities to numb her feelings temporarily.Amy can manipulate time, both for herself and others, but it comes with limitations. The more drastic the manipulation, the greater the strain it puts on her. Amy uses her powers to accelerate time when she's alone, seeking to escape her feelings and grief. This allows her to fast-forward through moments or days of her life and avoid dwelling on her painful emotions. This avoidance mechanism prevents her from properly processing her grief.This Handmaid's Tale
Amy found herself a Handmaid in Gilead due to her crime of gender treachery (being in a same-sex relationship). Amy's opposes the regime with varying levels of recklessness — at times, being punished harshly for her lack of obedience.Her journey to escape Gilead is fraught with its own challenges, however, the safe houses provided by the Underground Femaleroad guided her to Canada. In the relative safety outside of Gilead, Amy began rebuilding her life. Her experiences eventually drove her to become an advocate for Gilead survivors. Amy works with organizations like Sanctu-Care to provide support to other women who had escaped, and mentors young refugees. She participates in anti-Gilead protests and advocacy efforts to influence Canadian policies regarding refugees.Marvel
When her partner's health deteriorated, resulting by their death by suicide, Amy's life took a dramatic turn after a period of reckless behaviour. Seeking an escape from her emotional pain, she turned to recreational drug use and unknowingly took a highly experimental substance, which ended up having unexpected side effects due to its experimental nature. Amy experienced a dramatic physical and mental transformation.Her transformation left her with the unique ability to nullify pain in herself to an extreme degree. She can still be physically injured, but she won't feel the pain associated with it. Additionally, her touch allows her to pass on a sedative-like effect to others through physical contact, calming them down to the point where they might even pass out if the touch is prolonged. This ability extends to alleviating emotional pain to some extent, providing comfort and relief to those who are upset or emotionally distressed.Amy can't feel pain, making her vulnerable to unintentional injuries. She might push herself to physical extremes without realizing the consequences. Her touch-based powers require careful control to avoid accidentally over-sedating someone.Concealing her true identity with a form-fitting, dark-coloured suit, gloves to control her touch, and a mask to protect her anonymity, Amy begins acting as a vigilante. She finds herself entangled in the world of criminal organizations behind the production and distribution of the experimental drug.The Magicians
