Amy Rose Carpenter

 is a pyrokinetic from Norway, Wisconsin. She is able to set herself on fire and manipulate existing flames, give them specific directions and shapes. Her powers were triggered after the awakening, and she has been on the run since. Due to her power set, Amy is nicknamed and often referred to as "Fire Girl".

Character History
After the awakening, Amy started feeling drawn to fire. But the true discovery of her powers came with a great cost. In a tragic accident, Amy accidentally fired up the gas line and blew up her house with her 2 younger sisters, older brother, both parents and grandmother still inside. She survived the explosion with a minor burn, because as she would later explain, she's impervious to fire only when she's prepared for it.

As the sole survivor, the police started chasing her. But fearing she would not be able to explain herself and hurt more people in the process, she chose to run. And not long after the police, the Paladins got wind of her and they too started hunting her down. Running for her life seeking protection and refuge, she found herself in Davina's town.

Season Two
She arrived to town on a rainy night and ran into Colin, a fellow homeless. Colin offered her some food and shelter from rain. But the kindness and compassion she received from this stranger made her emotional, and she lost control of her powers and burned down Colin's livelihood.

The police didn't believe Colin for various reasons, but word got around and Amy was soon located by a rogue gifted named Leon, who had nicknamed himself "Chameleon" due to his ability to copy another gifted's abilities. After gaining her trust and then taking her powers, Leon beat and left her, then became a notorious criminal and started terrorizing the town.

Feeling responsible for his creation and wanting to make up for some of the harm she had caused, Amy decided to confront Leon, but was killed by his thugs before she could reach him.

"What If?"
The "What If?" episode of Season 2 explores upon the choice that Elizabeth, a field agent and member of Brotherhood, made about interfering and getting in Amy's way before she could face Leon and his men. While originally Elizabeth wants to see if Amy could take him down and do her work for her, in the What If, she decides that Amy would be in way over her head and stops her. Amy resists, and in a quick but fierce battle, Elizabeth takes her down and captures her.

During her captivity, Brotherhood tries to find her identity through facial recognition database, but the closest they get is a 34% match who is a 72 year old grandpa from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who would later turn out to be Amy's long lost grandfather. They make the connection when Amy finally reveals her full name.

In her first day as a captive, Amy acts hostile toward Elizabeth, even though Elizabeth tries to be understanding and friendly. Remembering how she hurt Colin, Amy advices Elizabeth to stay away from her, then tries to intimidate her by trying to unleash her full power. Acting scared, Elizabeth leaves her. However, not long after, Amy starts feeling guilty over what she did and asks for Elizabeth, only to be told that she scared her off and she won't ever come back. However, Amy refuses to talk to anyone else. Her silence lasts for 11 days, until finally Elizabeth returns.

During her interrogation over the course of next couple of days, Elizabeth and Amy start an unexpected friendship. And eventually they grow to trust each other. So much that when Elizabeth hears about Leon's latest rampage, she agrees to include Amy into her team.

When Leon's thugs corner Elizabeth and her team, Elizabeth sends Amy to confront Leon. Amy is hesitant at first, unsure of herself. But Elizabeth expresses her full confidence and faith in her and assures that she's got this. Amy, encouraged, flames up so much she turns into a "Girl of Fire" and enters the building to confront Leon.

Leon, with his superior muscle strength and field experience as well as his unrestrained use of fire with full intent to kill, quickly overwhelms Amy. But just as she was about to get beaten, she flashes back to one of her conversations with Elizabeth and recalls her claiming that while her fire comes from within, his fire actually comes from her. She gets fired up, and using her ability to manipulate the flames, she draws all of Leon's fire back to herself, leaving him powerless. But still, Leon attempts to attack her, forcing Amy to unleash her full power and burn him to a crisp. As it takes some time to regain the control of her fire, the flames that are going out from every window of the floor they are in as if the whole building is about to take off like a rocket scares Leon's thugs into surrendering.

After the flames go out, Elizabeth goes inside to tell her that the stunt she pulled would draw the attention of the authorities and they would soon come for her. Amy tells she's ready to face justice, but Elizabeth says that is not an option and she has to run. She explains that people like her do not get a fair trial. She's wanted for a dozen people's murders, and nobody would be looking to redeem her, they'd only be looking to see her killed. Amy, in tears, says that if she runs, she's going to have to look over her shoulder her entire life. Elizabeth assures that she will at least get to live. They stage a fake fight where Amy knocks Elizabeth out and flies out in full flame mode, an ability she newly discovered.

Elizabeth suspects Amy would have gone to visit her grandfather, and deletes everything about her and the grandfather from every database she has access to. Then looking at the empty screen, bids her friend goodbye.
