INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER

With her nose for news, the Investigative Reporter can ask the hard driving questions that make people drop their defenses. Mysteries often are revealed in mere moment, secrets long hidden unveiled with ease.

But this is all a lie…

THE "REAL" SKINNY: BETSY AMANDA DEVOE

Known professionally simply as “Amanda DeVoe,” she is one of the top reporters in the local area. Though popular and recognizable enough to be offered an anchor desk position for lead news, Amanda repeatedly fights to stay in the field, preferring its energy and excitement. The only way she'd take a desk job is if she were offered the plum lead entertainment reporter position that currently is held by Randall Reave (who does both that job and a noontime radio show). Amanda perceives her own life, from an average family and an average neighborhood, as extremely plain and boring. While she’s very nosy, hard-hitting really wouldn’t describe her. She’s just more interested in everyone else’s life because she thinks it must be better than her own.

Betsy Amanda DeVoe and Alicia Fox are good friends and were fellow cheerleaders in the same graduating class at Commander USA High School. Both were involved in the protest over changing the high school name, and all the exposure to the media changed Amanda’s career goals to news reporting. However, fashion and starpower interest her more than the hardhitting news. She’d love to be out on the red carpet interviewing all the stars, but right now the closest she can get is when superheroes and celebrities become tied up in the everyday news story, since she's low reporter on the totem pole. Since celebrities often tie themselves to charitable causes, and Alicia Fox often is involved with charities, these two women will often be seen together as these are considered fluff stories and not hard news, so as junior reporter Amanda gets these a lot.

Amanda DeVoe will often be present at events affecting the life of Flying Glory –- such as her coverage following the chaos at the fashion show attacked by the Immortal Combatant -- but what role if any she comes to play past that remains to be seen.
