"...'Amy' (Emma Bell) and her older sister 'Andrea' have made their home in Dale's RV at the camp. She is 12 years younger than Andrea and that has caused no small amount of tension between the sisters. Amy is resentful of Andrea leaving her behind at home and not coming back often enough to visit and be a part of her life. The experience of the apocalypse has strengthened their bond enormously, though Amy is still often frustrated by Andrea correcting her, judging her and generally telling her what to do. On the other hand, Amy worships her older sister, wanting to be just like her. Still young, Amy is impetuous and eternally optimistic. She helps look out for the kids in the camp, is quick to defend other's actions when she sees them as being protective and generally tries to keep the peace among her fellow survivors..."
