Biography[]
Attending Brakebills University[]
 |
Amanda Orloff was raised by a father who worked in the United States Armed Forces as a General and later received an invitation to take the Entrance Exam for Brakebills College of Magical Pedagogy. When Quentin Coldwater and Alice Quinn were advanced to the Second Year, Coldwater realized Quinn wasn't the star student anymore, as Orloff was the student who was regularly called on to demonstrate techniques for their class. During their Third Year, they threw a party in honor of the fall equinox, for which Amanda Orloff supplied a batch of mead she'd been brewing for the past couple of months.
During a very early morning lecture under Professor March, the professor was in the process of humiliating Quentin Coldwater for a question he was unable to answer when Amanda, in an attempt to help him, expressed her own confusion regarding the topic. Quentin was grateful and blew her a kiss. When Quentin tried to innocently disrupt his lecture, the Beast was summoned to their world through a rip he had unwittingly opened. After Amanda tried to somehow subdue it with a spell, the Beast devoured her alive.

- Magic Manipulation: Orloff was able to shape and manipulate magic to cast spells by writing specific formations and chanting incantations, conjuring phosphorescent constructs of energy. Her method of casting magic was described as gruff, unshowy, and competent, as if she was wringing the magic out of the air by brute force. She was trained in battle magic, as well as capable of breaking free of The Beast's paralysis spell during the Attack on Brakebills University.
