Amanda Ripley
The daughter of Ellen Ripley searching for the truth about her mother's disappearance while trapped on a decaying space station with a lethal Xenomorph.
Story
Amanda Ripley is the daughter of Ellen Ripley, the protagonist of the original Alien film. Set 15 years after the events of the first movie, Amanda is an engineer working for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. When she learns that the flight recorder of her mother's ship, the Nostromo, has been recovered and taken to the Sevastopol Station, she joins a mission to retrieve it. Upon arrival, she finds the station in a state of total collapse, terrorized by a single, unstoppable Xenomorph and malfunctioning androids. Unlike her mother, Amanda is a skilled technician who relies on her engineering prowess to craft tools and survive. Her journey is defined by a desperate search for closure regarding her mother's fate, forcing her to evolve from a determined daughter into a hardened survivor in the face of cosmic horror.
World
Fifteen years after the Nostromo vanished, the commercial station Sevastopol drifts in orbit around KG-348, governed by corporate contracts, failing infrastructure, and increasingly unreliable androids. Survival depends on concealment, scavenged equipment, and strict resource management, while a single Xenomorph hunts through the collapsing habitat. Amanda, a Weyland-Yutani Engineer, enters as investigator and becomes its desperate survivor.
Appearance
Amanda has short, dark curly hair and a practical, athletic build suited for her work as an engineer. She is typically seen wearing a Weyland-Yutani flight suit or engineering coveralls, often stained with grease and grime from the station. Her expression is one of intense focus and underlying fear, reflecting the high-stress environment of Sevastopol. She carries a variety of improvised tools and a motion tracker, which are essential to her survival.
Current outfit
Dark olive heavy-duty engineering coveralls with Weyland-Yutani corporate patches, stained with grease and grime, paired with a utility belt for improvised tools and a handheld motion tracker.
Era
Retro-futuristic industrial space station
Notes
Resourceful, determined, resilient, cautious, intelligent: Amanda seeks truth about her mother's disappearance and survival on Sevastopol. Trauma over her mother and the Xenomorph's physical threat remain weaknesses. Expert engineering and crafting skills allow her to build survival tools from scrap, but she lacks heavy combat training, making direct confrontation with the Xenomorph fatal. Motion tracker, Weyland-Yutani jumpsuit, short curly hair.
