Amanda Borst

Amanda Rhea Borst is short in height and she has dark brunette hair a few inches past her shoulders. She also has dark brown eyes with grayish flecks and the flecks sometimes turn green, making her eyes hazel. Her skin is darkly tanned, much like her older sister's, Jacy Mann.

Appearance
Amanda is Brynn Willis's best friend and she stays with Brynn through everything. She also goes by Rhea Mann, her original name, by the end of White Skies.

Pre-White Skies
Rhea had been living peacefully in the town of Willis with her sisters, but then she somehow discovered the Willis Family Talent. She had been alone and was walking down the road, when she sees someone following her. Rhea had always been skittish, so she ran. After what seemed like forever, she found herself levitating.

In the middle of the night, only mere minutes after her mother, Maddi Mann, checks on her, Crissalee Mackinack uses an unknown weapon to break into Rhea's bedroom. She takes Rhea, but dumps her on the street before she could get caught. At that time, Rhea was young, and she didn't know her way around Willis. She had been lost, until Julianna Borst finds and renames her as Amanda Rhea Borst.

Personality
Amanda is normally quiet and shy, and according to Brynn, she is auspicious. Though, when she is mad, her temper flares. Rhea's personality is not similar to Amanda's. After she had been kidnapped, the traumatic experience changed who she is. Rhea is bubbly, optimistic, and happy, despite everything that happened in her life.

White Skies
She is first seen when Brynn comes over to her house. Amanda "fiddles with the locks" and lets Brynn in. When Brynn inquires about the new security, Amanda interrupts her. They go up to Amanda's bedroom and she tightly shuts the curtains and turns on a light. She tells Brynn that she can talk now. When Brynn is confused, Amanda watches her friend open the curtains. She doesn't like it and it makes her mad, as she "stormed toward Brynn".

The next day, Amanda is seen by Brynn in her driveway texting someone with her new iPhone. After being shaken out of her trance, she inevitably gets on the bus. Amanda accepts Brynn's apology for everything that had happened the day before. Then she tells Brynn that it's only "family affairs".
