Lady America's History:

Amanda Miller comes from humble roots. She was the third child of a blue collar working couple in Richmond, Virginia. She had two older brothers. Her father was a factory worker and her mother worked as a waitress at a variety of different restaurants. Amanda was born in Richmond General Hospital. Her father and mother were originally from Scotland and had moved to the United States in the attempt to give a better life for their family.

When Amanda was four years old, her parents were killed in a car accident and there were no relatives that could be found to act as guardians. Because of this, Amanda and her two older brothers were put into an orphanage. Unlike most children at orphanages, she did not allow the despair that many fell to ruin her. An early inspiration was superhero comic books which she began collecting when she was six years old. Her favorite superhero was Captain America whom she liked to make believe she was a female version of him. While still young, she was ambidextrous and very athletic. Because of her athletic nature, she found herself protective of those weaker than herself and standing up against the bullies. She got her share of hard knocks but never gave up trying.

She would throw a trash can lid and pretend she was Captain America throwing his shield. When she was ten, she was surprised to find that one day she could get it to come back. This was the first sign of her super abilities manifesting and she slowly discovered the full nature of her abilities. She found that when she was in the right and the other person was in the wrong, the opponent would be at a severe disadvantage. She also found that she could heal from any injury much faster than a normal person might.

She always very intelligent and did quite well in grade school and was the only child at the orphanage who was on the honor rolls. Her ability to defend herself kept her from being beaten up because of it. It took a huge effort but she was able to get a full scholarship to a highly regarded private high school. She was the poorest student in the school and most of the other students were from wealthy parents. This caused some tension but it never allowed her to stop applying herself. While she did quite well in all of her classes, she was an Olympic quality athlete in physical ability.

She had always wanted to learn martial arts but had no means to pay for the lessons. She had a quite decent ability at street fighting but had no formal training. Early in her freshman year, she learned that the Gym teacher was also a Black Belt in Karate. She approached him and asked if he could teach her Karate but she had no means to pay for the training. He agreed to train her for her help with projects that he needed do. He found that she was an excellent student and quite willing to help him wherever he needed. His style was not a perfect style and he had been a boxer when he had been younger. He began inviting her home for dinner and for weekends. His wife had been unable to have children and the couple grew to consider her the daughter that they could never help. They decided to offer to adopt her and she accepted. She stayed with them until graduation and entry into college.

She graduated third in her class and was able to get a full scholarship to college as well. It might have been easier to get a scholarship to college easier on an athletic scholarship but she felt that her mutant abilities would make it unfair to others. In college, she studied Law, English, American history, Journalism, and Physical Education. While in college, she had a love affair with a slightly older man who was a Civil Engineer. The romance ended after a couple of years but they are still good friends. She graduated college with a Master's degree in Law with minors in Journalism and English Literature. She even completed her Law Bar examination and is a fully licenced lawyer. She was planning to go to work as a prosecutor but she chose a different course.

She found out about the United States Government for superhero teams and decided that she was interested. Instead of being made a member of the already established Sentinels of Liberty and Justice Team, it was decided that she would work independently and recruit other heroes as needed.
