Amanda has often taken the reigns as a lifeguard for many pools and beaches. Being a Floatzel, she was very fast when moving in water and could use her floatation sac in order to keep herself and pokemon on her back above water. Being a lifeguard can be fun outside of the rare fire type trying to swim more than their body can handle, but she enjoys it when the chance presents itself. Lately, as the seasons have been too cold to open the beaches again, Amanda has been considering the possibility of using her swimming skills alongside Pokemon Contests. She's still a little hesitant considering she has been practicing speed overall, but her friend Jolie ( Gorebyss ) has suggested it for when she needs a duet partner. Considering all she can really do is use her skills for races on both land and sea, it may be nice to consider a different hobby for the time being. She may not be entirely on board with the idea, but at least it will make Jolie and Yalina ( Feraligatr ) happy.

Likes[/i]: Pokemon Battles, Races, Swimming ( Amanda uses pokemon battles as a means of showing her stuff, while also practicing her propeller tails outside of water sometimes. Whether in water or on land, Amanda can be pretty fast when racing thanks to her propeller tails. With her floatation device, it’s easy for Amanda to relax on the water’s surface and often loosen up after a long day. )
Dislikes[/i]: Intense Storms, Swimming Fire Types, Dangerous Passengers ( While Amanda is sometimes willing to tangle with intense waves as she can easily dive underwater, thunderstorms aren’t something she’s willing to tangle with. While Amanda doesn't mind fire types enjoying the water, she’s always annoyed by those who venture too far from shore on their own and end up needing rescue. When needing to save a pokemon who has drifted out to see, it can be difficult to swim them back to shore if they’re extremely heavy or dangerous to touch. )

Every day is a chance for Amanda to train towards her goal of being quite the fast swimmer, whether it’s through her work or simple battles. Being the sort of pokemon who comes across many different faces on a regular basis, she enjoys being friendly around others. )
