Amanda Lopez
Amanda "First Shadow Cast" Lopez is a Bone Shadow Elodoth member of the Three Sisters Pack in Colorado.
Background
Amanda Lopez us a fit middle-aged Uratha. Before joining with Park Sun Ae, she traveled the world with a pack of nomad Bone Shadows, communing with city-spirits from around the world and hunting rogue spirits and Ridden entities. Her wanderlust and desire to be the first werewolf to set foot in previously unexplored territory led to the deed name she's chosen. The pack was well known for its exploits and good luck, but luck runs out.
While trying to "liberate" a set of ancient fetish rings, the Ivory Claws guarding them captured the pack. They staged an elaborate trial and found the packmates guilty on all counts - from attempting to steal the rings to their complicity (via bloodline) in Father Wolf's death. Bound in chains and awaiting their execution, they decided that by combining their talents one of them could escape. Amanda wished she had not been chosen to be that one, but she was. The pack broke her chains and covered her escape.
The loss of a pack is a devastating event for a werewolf, and Amanda fell into a deep depression. That was when Park Sun Ae found her, and convinced her that she still had work to do. Amanda was reluctant at first, unwilling to forge the bonds of pack again knowing that they might be broken. She eventually opened up, but she occasionally still dreams of her first pack.
Amanda is a lovely Hispanic woman who wears her age well. Working at the bookstore gives her a never-ending grace and honesty that enchants men her age and captivates younger ones. She tries to remain friendly with all of her lovers, though her predatory nature inevitably bleeds through and drives men away. Amanda is also active in local werewolf politics, and keeps abreast of the situation for her pack. Sun does not care about politics, except in the vaguest of terms, and Kim does not have the experience to recognize the subtleties of werewolf status challenges. Amanda also enjoys teaching Kim, as well as a few other mystics chosen by Sun.
