– Amelie

Samantha America Strand, widely known as "Amelie", is the "ka" (soul) of the sixth extinction entity, publicly recognized as the daughter of her counterpart "ha" (body), President Bridget Strand.

Story

As a consequence of her body being on the beach, Amelie is unable to age, and looks now as she did ten years prior.

Carrying on her mother's legacy, Amelie embarked on an expedition to bring her message of unity to survivor communities across America, convincing many of them to join the UCA and connect to the Chiral Network. She protected the expedition team while they looked for survivors, using her preternatural ability to anticipate craters and BT-occupied territories to circumnavigate the areas. Three years into the expedition, Amelie and her team reached Edge Knot City, whereupon the team was wiped out and Amelie was captured by the Homo Demens. She is now being held within the city as an insurance policy against the UCA, but is allowed to use Edge Knot City's facilities and communicate with her UCA allies in Capital Knot City.

Die-Hardman and Amelie want Sam to finish what Amelie started and rescue her from Edge Knot City. Should she successfully be brought back by Sam, Amelie intends to take up the presidency of the United Cities and continue realizing her mother's vision for the country.

It is revealed in the end of the story that Amelie never actually existed, her name being actually "Soul Lie", and is just the second incarnation of the sixth extinction entity, with Bridget Strand, her supposed mother. She is the employer of Higgs Monaghan, leader of Homo Demens, which she tasked to destroy humanity the fastest he can in order to precipitate the Last Stranding, because she was bored, tired of waiting for the Death Stranding.

Before the story, she discovered that the Beach housed numerous biological archives up to the creation of the Earth. She incarnated herself in two physical entities, Bridget Strand and Amelie Strand, who are actually the same person. Bridget Strand had a normal human body which she used to put in work her plan of Chiral Network to extract and study the precious archives on the Beach. Her second version, Amelie, was stuck in hospitalization until her twenties, as her body was on the Beach with her soul, meaning she was unable to age. The gap between Amelie and Bridget started to be more evident throughout the years and as Bridget she invented that Amelie was her daughter when she heard rumors of a young version of Bridget wandering around the White House.

One day, one month, one year, before the Death Stranding, she conducted experiments on Clifford Unger's wife and baby, Sam Porter, but Cliff discovered the conditions of the experiments and tried to escape the facility with his son. As Bridget, she directed the security force to kill Cliff and recover Sam, but Cliff freed him out of his pod. Bridget decided to pull the trigger of the pistol that Die-Hardman was holding and aiming Cliff with, firing and killing both Cliff and Sam. It is after the incident that she saved Sam and made him a Repatriate, opening the doors for a new Death Stranding.

Abilities

Amelie is able to sense BTs to great effect, and can circumnavigate craters and BT-occupied territories entirely.

Amelie, as an extinction entity, is ultimately the one responsible for bridging the gap between the living world and the Beach, and is therefore the cause of the Death Stranding. She can potentially force all beaches to merge with her own, and the Chiral network. This would allow untold numbers of BTs to pass onto Earth and ultimately cause a chain reaction of Voidouts that would permanently end life on Earth, an event called the Last Stranding. Amelie has resurrected dead beings, such as Sam. She is the one responsible for DOOMS abilities, by sharing her visions of potential extinctions with others, and allowing them some measure of her connection with the other side.

Notes

  • Amelie first appeared in the E3 2018 trailer, where she is briefly seen in the same setting of the E3 2016 trailer.
  • Amelie's appearance is based off of a younger Lindsay Wagner.
  • In pre-release materials and in-game credits, Lindsay Wagner is not credited as "Special Performance", unlike other characters where a real-life person only served as the model like in the case of Deadman (Guillermo del Toro) and Heartman (Nicolas Winding Refn). This is most likely done to hint at Amelie's true identity and connection to Bridget.
