Amanda O'Neill

Amanda O'Neill is a young witch from the United States and one of supporting protagonists of Little Witch Academia. First introduced in the film The Enchanted Parade, she is one of three troublemaking girls alongside Constanze and Jasminka where in her case, guilty in repeatedly sneaking into Luna Nova's storehouses and toying with its security systems for fun. Amanda is a tall girl who measures between 5'6" and 5'7". She has short orange hair with salmon undertones that points upwards. Her eyebrows have the same amaranth color and she has light green eyes. Her standard Luna Nova Academy uniform consists of a vest and dark blue skirt, with buttons in the center of the same color and a white shirt below. Like her friends Constanze and Jasminka, she completes her uniform with a green sash and hatband. She wears grayish-brown sports shoes with white laces. When not in her uniform, she usually wears a pale blue tank top, along with dark brown shorts and white slippers. Concept art reveals that Amanda originally wore red high-top sneakers instead of grayish-brown sports shoes. In her male disguise, Amanda slicks her hair backwards and wears apparel that closely match those of Appleton Academy students; a black suit over a white shirt and tie, gray pants and black shoes. Coupled with her inherently tomboyish nature, Amanda's boyish appearance is remarkably convincing and handsome, as not only most Appleton students failed to suspect something off in her, but also resulted Hannah to develop a crush on her without realizing she is actually a girl. Amanda is by her own description a "rebel". An unruly and fun-loving child, she has little respect for authority and is primarily motivated by hedonism. She has a very relaxed attitude towards her schoolwork almost to the point of apathy, and takes the easy way out whenever she has the opportunity. This is both a point of practicality ("Who cares how it gets done if it gets done?") and a result of a general reticence to exert effort when there's no fun to be had in it. In cases where she considers a task to be worth her time (particularly broom flying class), she puts her utmost enthusiasm into it and she refuses to conform to anything less even when her grades depend on it ("Fly free or don't fly at all"). Amanda is very athletic, being a tomboy with a talent for acrobatics, best exhibited when she flies a broom (a talent that led Akko to ask if she wanted to be a "broom dancer" when she finished school, in response Amanda said she hadn't thought that far in advance and just planned to have fun). She also appears to be somewhat of a kleptomaniac, as she was seen to steal in both The Enchanted Parade and "Don't Stop Me Now". While a staunch individualist, she has genuine compassion for her friends.
