With her teenage clothing, spiked blond hair
and
trim
body,
Amanda looks much younger
than her
thirty years.
A former
captain (or was she?) in Navy
intelligence, the
mysterious Amanda
Code is
currently Dean of Students at
Arcadia
Academy, an all-girl,
private school
(grades 7-12)
located in upper New York
state.
But
her job is just a cover story for her real
job as one of the
top
directors of The
Institute. The Institute had been
established
by former intelligence officers as a top-secret,
world-wide
organization to carry out missions
that official
government
agencies can't or
won't do.
Because official
government agencies wanted
no part
in shutting
down the lucractive, black
market
selling of
endangered animals,
The
Institute
asked
Amanda
to recruit a team of
operatives
to carry
out those
types of missions.
As the Dean of
Students at Arcadia
Academy,
Amanda combed
the student
records and
discovered Ren's
superior
martial arts
skills,
Colleen's
phenomenal I.Q. and
Brooke's
animal
telepathy.
Noticing that
these three
teenagers
had already
formed a band, she
knew they
worked
well
together and
recruited
Ren,
Brooke
and Colleen
for the Institute.
