Fanon:Amy's Backstory (extended version by Smith ghast4)

This is Amy Stark. Back in 5th grade, she used to live a normal life as a typical young girl would. She had an older brother named Lazarus (or "Laz" for short), age 20, who's into metal music, playing guitar, and fitting aesthetically with the metal lifestyle, including piercings and dyed hair with shaved sides. They all lived their lives normally, until one fateful day...

It was April 15, 2022, and Amy planned to join her friends in her birthday party at a Chuck E. Cheese-like restaurant after school, a day after her actual birthday on the 14th. Laz had to drive her there via his car. But on the way there, suddenly a truck ran the red light in front of the car. "LAZ, LOOK OUT!!!" Amy screamed as the truck caused him to swerve the car off the road and hit a tree, scaring a deer nearby.

Amy was knocked out for 15 minutes before waking up. When she woke up, Amy tried to move but her legs were paralyzed as she doesn't see her brother anywhere as she can see the car they were on, on fire as the tree was getting burned by it as well. She yelled "LAZ?" as she picks up her brother's phone. She puts 9-1-1 before having the ambulance take her to a hospital.

Amy got into her wheelchair for the first time ever. She went to the doctor and asked "Do you think my brother will be okay?" but the doctor was upset as Amy realized that something bad was with Laz. "Oh, I am sorry. I have bad news. He had died during the crash!" causing Amy to start crying over her brother's death. She cried "Laz..." as she realized she lost her brother during the crash.

Amy stayed in the hospital for 4 months, throughout the summer, to recover from her injuries, and she is confined to her wheelchair for the rest of her life. Returning home, she picks up her brother's guitar and immediately adopts his metal music and fashion, burning all of her old clothes. She was also not interested in dating boys, wanting to date a fellow girl instead. And one day in 6th grade, she found a perfect match when noticing a girl having a bad birthday. That girl...is Dee Dee.
