Powers: Amy is a powerful witch with abilities inherited from her mother. These powers grow throughout the series. While initially more powerful than Willow, casting a spell to become a rat that Willow cannot initially reverse, Amy acknowledges in Season Seven that Willow has surpassed her.

In battle, Amy is able to stand up against Willow and fly by force of will.

History: Amy is a classmate of Buffy Summers' at Sunnydale High School. Friends with Willow Rosenberg in junior high, she would often go over to Willow's house and eat brownies to escape her mother's abuse. Amy first appears in the Season One episode "Witch", when she and Buffy both try out for cheerleading. Amy performs poorly in the tryouts, and when a series of strange injuries to other contestants move her up in the standings, the Scooby Gang suspect that she is a witch who is using her powers to harm the other girls. It is revealed that Amy's mother Catherine, a very powerful witch, has switched bodies with Amy because she wants to relive her youth. Buffy and the Scooby Gang succeed in restoring Amy to her own body and (unknown to them) trapping her mother in an old cheerleading trophy. Amy talks to Buffy after her mother's defeat and mentions that she is now living with her father and step-mother, and that she is much happier.
Amy continues to attend Sunnydale High and reappears in several more episodes; along with Jonathan Levinson and Harmony Kendall she is one of many recurring student characters. In the Season Two episode "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered", Xander Harris discovers that Amy has inherited her mother's power, having become a potent, if sometimes ineffective witch. Xander decides to blackmail Amy into helping him perform a love spell on Cordelia Chase, however, the spell goes awry and causes the entire female population of Sunnydale, sans Cordelia, to become obsessed with Xander. Caught in her own spell, a jealous Amy invokes the goddess Hecate temporarily turns Buffy into a rat. She is eventually forced by Rupert Giles to undo both spells.
By Season Three, Amy has joined a coven with Willow (now a practicing witch) and warlock Michael Czajak. In the episode "Gingerbread", the parents of Sunnydale (under the influence of the demonic Hans and Greta) become insanely paranoid about the supernatural's influence on their children, and prepare to burn Amy, Buffy, and Willow at the stake. To escape her bonds, Amy turns herself into a rat, but then, being a rat, she is unable to remove her own spell. Willow captures Rat-Amy and keeps her in a cage until she can be restored. Willow makes several unsuccessful attempts to "de-rat" Amy over the next two seasons. In the Season Four episode "Something Blue", in what writer Doug Petrie describes as "as cruel and funny as anything could be", Willow, who at the time has the power to have anything she says happen, accidentally turns Amy back into a human; however, Willow does not even notice, and a few seconds later accidentally changes her back into a rat.
By Season Six, Willow has become an extremely powerful witch and permanently "de-rats" Amy by simply conjuring up an incantation. The two become friends again, though Amy now seems to be drastically different than she was before, possibly due to her long experience of being a rat. She had apparently been involved with the warlock Rack before being transformed, and gets Willow involved as well, leading Willow to become addicted to black magic. Later, when Willow decides to give up magic, Amy casts a spell on her, causing her to magically manipulate everything she touches for a while; Willow complains to Amy that this makes her attempts to give up magic even harder. Amy responds by mocking her, implying that she did it as revenge for being trapped as a rat for years. As a result Willow cuts Amy out of her life entirely.
Amy's final appearance in the television series occurs in the Season Seven episode "The Killer in Me." When asked her feelings about Amy's actions in this episode, Elizabeth Anne Allen said, "I think after all the things that she went through, there were a lot of reasons why she was so angry."[3]
Having transformed aesthetically into Warren Mears, whom she tortured and flayed in a rage over the murder of her girlfriend Tara Maclay, Willow seeks help from the UC Sunnydale Wicca Group and discovers that Amy is a member. Amy explains that she had hit "rock bottom", and was doing much better now. It is soon revealed that Amy is in fact responsible for Willow's transformation, the result of a hex placed on her apparently out of jealousy and spite. However, in the Season Eight comic book, it turns out that this seemingly random event is actually part of a larger plan orchestrated by Warren, after Amy rescued him from death in the earlier episode "Villains."
Allen says she would have liked to explore Amy's struggle to overcome her anger, so that she could "get a grip and come back to the fold with her friends."
Personality: Amy Madison used to be a semi-popular outgoing friendly girl in high school, while now she's dark, manipulative, and evil. She's one wicca you don't want to mess with, trust me. Amy hates Willow and her little gang more than anything, because of how she treats her like she is nothing but a magic junkie. Now Willow's going to pay.
Interests & Hobbies: Magic, Shopping, Killing.
Strengths: Her Powers, Magic, Hate.
Weaknesses: Old friends, Family, Her heart.

Sample RP:
Elizabeth was sitting on the couch. She was waiting for her older sister, Lauren, to get home. Liz really wanted to get up and start cooking up dinner and dessert, which she did every night, but somehow she felt glued to the couch. Her eyes began to hurt. She had been watching television all day, maybe she was sick, because she never did that.
Sighing, she decided she should get up. Liz brushed her brown hair off her shoulders as she got up off the couch, and shut off the television. She heard the door slam. "Lauren?" Elizabeth called out, hoping her older sister was home. "That you?" Liz didn't bother to check the door. She continued past it to the bathroom.
Liz grabbed an asprin. Her head was pounding now. Maybe, Lauren would cook her dinner tonight. She could do dessert herself, but if she was hurting, a little bit of help wouldn't hurt. Elizabeth jumped, as she heard the door slam again, then many more times. It might be a demon!
The young witch really would have fearlessly jumped out from the bathroom and battled what was there. But she was too scared! Her only power was being an empath, and that did no good in battle. Plus, she hadn't even mastered it yet! Liz felt helpless.
Fighting through her fears, Elizabeth creeped out from the bathroom, peeking around the corner. The door slamed again. Liz's jaw hung open in fear, when she saw no one was slamming the door. Walking out from her hiding spots, she walked outside. It wasn't windy at all! Normally, she would grab her cell phone from her purse and call her sister for help. But she didn't want to.
Sighing, she walked back inside nervously. 'Elizabeth...Elizabeth.' Liz ran back into the living room, and turned back on the television for comfort. There was a ghost, or a demon or something in the house, and Elizabeth Halliwell was helpless! She felt like a scared little girl. Picking up her cell phone, she dialed her sister's number. "Lauren? There's something in the house!"
