Amy

Amy is a mysterious woman dressed in a modified black nun’s habit with a deep slit and a prominent cross at her chest.

She debuts in the game as a terrifying yet oddly elegant fighter who defeats enemies with a single rocket‑punch from her stitched arm.

She is an undead necromancer who commands the dead and is effectively immortal.

Her personality is cool, expressionless, and seemingly unreadable, but she shows an unusually soft, indulgent side only toward Lynn Reinweiß.

Amy’s true identity is that of a former vampire hunter who was killed by Arne Neuntöte centuries ago.

Through her own curse and a blood contract, she was reborn as an undead being bound to Arne, with fragments of her old self buried under imposed loyalty.

In later developments she confesses romantic love to Lynn Reinweiß.

Their relationship becomes one of the emotional cores of her story, mixing gothic horror with yuri‑flavored sweetness.

Name: Amy

Species: Undead

Gender: Female

First person pronoun: “I”

Ability: Necromancy (control of corpses, undead body, detachable arms)

Family: Unknown (implied vampire hunter lineage, including a very powerful father)

Occupation/Role: Necromancer, former vampire hunter, Arne’s undead subordinate

Series: Arne no Jikenbo

Mediums: Game, novelization, anime

Anime voice actor: Yoko Hikasa

The details of her family background are treated as spoilers and are revealed gradually in later cases.

Her past as a vampire hunter and her connection to Arne drive much of the overarching plot.

Amy appears permanently calm and collected, with little change in facial expression.

Her voice is level and unhurried, and she tends to speak in a dry, almost surgical tone.

She can be blunt to the point of cruelty, freely using harsh or mocking words when necessary.

Her manner often feels cold and somewhat sadistic, especially when she is dissecting someone’s weaknesses.

Despite this, she is not easily intimidated and shows absolutely no fear of vampires.

Even when facing Arne Neuntöte, once the most fearsome vampire, she mocks and teases him without hesitation.

She looks unreadable, as if nothing can shake her, but internally she is burdened by self‑doubt.

Amy openly admits that she “lacks confidence,” especially when she wonders whether her current undead self is truly the same person as she was when alive.

Around Lynn Reinweiß, her personality changes dramatically.

She becomes unusually sweet, protective, and openly affectionate to the point of being overwhelming.

Amy wears a black nun’s habit with a deep slit, tailored to emphasize her tall, elegant silhouette.

Her chest is adorned with a cross ornament, reinforcing her gothic religious motif.

Her red hair is dyed green at the tips, creating a vivid, unnatural contrast.

Her entire body—face, neck, arms, legs—is covered in visible stitches, like a carefully assembled doll or patchwork corpse.

These stitches hint at repeated reconstruction of her own body.

They also foreshadow her ability to detach and launch her limbs in combat.

In the past, when she was still a living vampire hunter, her appearance was very different.

She wore a short white nun’s outfit, had blonde hair in curled twin drills with warm‑colored tips, long nails, and spoke in a flashy “gal” style.

Amy now refers to that younger, flashy self as a phase of “youthful folly.”

This contrast between past and present visual design highlights both her character growth and the horror of her undead transformation.

As an undead corpse, she does not age or grow.

Her hair no longer grows, and her physical form remains fixed at the state it had at the time of her death and resurrection.

Initial Appearance

Amy first appears at the end of Case 1, “The Reinweiß Family Murder Case.”

In a shocking scene, she repels an attacker by launching her stitched arm like a rocket punch, defeating them in a single brutal blow.

This entrance immediately establishes her as a bizarre, overwhelmingly powerful presence.

It leaves a strong impression on players and raises questions about who or what she really is.

Through her conversation with Zisye, it becomes clear that she already knows about Arne Neuntöte and his heart.

However, her exact relationship with Arne and her true identity remain mysterious at this stage.

Case 2: Hotel Pithos Theft Incident

In Case 2, “Hotel Pithos Theft Incident,” Amy is hired by Pandora, the owner of Hotel Pithos, to guard the hotel.

At the same time, Arne and his group are also working as security, leading to their first direct on‑screen meeting with Amy.

While fulfilling the security job, Amy contacts Lynn Reinweiß, who is acting separately to gather information.

She calls Lynn out alone, setting in motion several emotionally intense scenes between them.

Amy’s behavior in Case 2 can look malicious or hostile at first glance.

She deliberately distances Lynn from Arne and strikes hard at Lynn’s mental weak points.

However, when viewed with later revelations in mind, these actions are actually protective.

Amy is trying to keep Lynn away from danger and force her to confront painful truths for Lynn’s own sake.

Novelization: Strange Life

In the novel “Arne no Jikenbo: Strange Life,” episode 2 “Suspicion of the Village of No Return,” Amy travels with Arne and the others to a village named Zarkdorov.

No one who visits this village is said to return alive, and the group investigates the mystery.

This story is notable for showcasing Amy’s abilities and character in more detail.

It is described as a must‑read episode where she plays a large, impactful role.

Anime Adaptation

In the anime adaptation of Arne no Jikenbo, Amy is especially characterized by how sweet she is toward Lynn Reinweiß.

Her indulgence, gentle tone, and obvious favoritism toward Lynn stand out even more than in the game.

The anime leans into both her deadpan sarcasm and her overprotective affection.

This contrast makes her a memorable and entertaining presence on screen.

Necromancy: Control of Corpses

Amy can manipulate corpses to attack, defend, or otherwise act according to her will.

Her control extends to both human corpses and the bodies of non‑humans such as werewolves.

According to Amy, she has never felt a limit to the number of corpses she can control at once.

This means that the more bodies are present, the more the battlefield becomes her domain.

Once she secures a corpse as a pawn, she can overwhelm numerous opponents by sheer quantity.

In mass battles, her necromancy elevates her from a single fighter to an entire army.

Because of this ability, she is often referred to as a “necromancer.”

Arne Neuntöte himself calls her a “dead‑spirit user,” noting that such abilities are extremely rare.

Rocket Punch: Detachable Stitched Arm

Amy can detach one of her stitched arms and launch it like a rocket punch.

This attack is visually shocking, combining horror imagery with almost comical spectacle.

Despite her slender appearance, the destructive power of this blow is tremendous.

It is strong enough to send four werewolves flying at the same time.

The attack also has excellent range, allowing her to strike from far away.

It is one of her signature moves and defines her early on as a shockingly dangerous combatant.

Undead Immortality and Self‑Dismemberment

As an undead being, Amy cannot die from conventional attacks.

She can be injured, cut apart, or even decapitated, yet she will eventually reattach and recover.

She can voluntarily bleed and dismember her own body.

Because of this, she can perform extremely convincing “fake deaths,” making it seem as if she has truly been killed.

This property played a crucial role in her origin story.

Her body continued to move and reassemble even after death, leading to her rebirth as a zombie and later as an undead bound by a blood contract.

Former Vampire Hunter

Amy’s true identity is that of a vampire hunter from several centuries ago.

Back then, humans and vampires were locked in open, large‑scale conflict.

Even in those days she possessed the same necromancer abilities.

She fought powerful vampire progenitors such as Nachzehrer and survived battles that would have killed ordinary hunters.

Her father is implied to be the legendary “strongest vampire hunter” who once cornered Arne Neuntöte.

Amy clearly admired him and tried to imitate his ruthlessness.

Battle Against Arne Neuntöte

When nine vampire progenitors fused and Arne Neuntöte—“the most fearsome vampire”—was born, Amy was sent to kill him.

She lured him into a graveyard, a battlefield full of corpses ideal for her abilities.

There she unleashed massive attacks using numerous corpses.

However, despite her advantage, she was easily and decisively defeated.

Arne decapitated her, and it appeared that Amy had died.

At that moment, though, the curse she had cast on herself activated.

Her severed head reattached to her body, and her corpse let out a groan and lunged at Arne again.

Through her self‑imposed post‑mortem curse, Amy revived as a zombie whose sole purpose was to kill him.

Blood Contract and Undead Transformation

Even in death, Amy continued attacking Arne, repeatedly reviving and coming back for more.

Watching this relentless hatred and tenacity, Arne came up with an idea.

Instead of simply destroying her, he chose to make a blood contract and turn her into his subordinate.

Under the red moon, Amy entered into a blood pact and became an immortal undead.

The contract succeeded, but because her body was already a zombie, she could not return to being a normal human.

After her resurrection, her mind and body were dominated by Arne’s influence, and she remembered nothing of her actions during that period.

She later suspects that during this time she acted as Arne’s pawn, murdering humans for him.

These missing memories weigh heavily on her, feeding her self‑doubt and guilt.

Regaining Consciousness

Amy’s consciousness returns only after Arne loses his heart in a battle with the strongest vampire hunter.

With Arne’s power diminished, his control over her weakens, allowing her to regain some free will.

However, the loyalty implanted in her does not disappear.

Even though Arne is technically her enemy by origin, she still feels compelled to serve and protect him.

As Arne’s power continues to wane, Amy’s self becomes unstable.

At one point she reverts to her old “gal” manner of speaking and loses her sanity, teetering on the edge of a mental breakdown.

This leads her to question her own identity more deeply.

She wonders whether the “past Amy” and the “current undead Amy” can truly be considered the same person.

Confession of Love

After the ending of Case 2, Amy visits Lynn Reinweiß in her room.

There, she delivers a striking confession.

She tells Lynn to think carefully about who her words are for before she listens.

Then she addresses her directly and asks whether Lynn considers herself special.

Amy finally declares her feelings: she tells Lynn that she loves her.

She clarifies that this is not “like” but “love,” and that she has fallen in love at first sight.

This is the first time Amy has ever experienced love at first sight.

The moment is shocking for Lynn and recontextualizes much of Amy’s earlier behavior.

Reinterpreting Her Actions

In Case 2, Amy often speaks and acts in ways that appear hostile to Lynn.

She tries to push Lynn away from Arne and strikes at her mental vulnerabilities, leaving Lynn emotionally devastated.

However, when we factor in Amy’s romantic feelings and protective instincts, these scenes take on a very different meaning.

Her harshness is revealed as tough love, aimed at forcing Lynn to confront the dangerous reality around her.

Amy’s every move in Case 2 can be reread with her love for Lynn in mind.

Doing so dramatically shifts the impression she gives and turns previously cruel moments into painful acts of care.

Deepening Relationship

In the werewolf tribe’s hideout, Amy and Lynn reconcile.

During this reconciliation, Amy shares her past, including things she has never told anyone else.

From the escape from the hideout onward, Amy’s direct romantic approach intensifies.

Her affection becomes more obvious and more frequent, blending teasing with genuine devotion.

Amy normally wears lily‑scented perfume to mask the smell of corpses.

Given the romantic context, fans often speculate about the symbolism of lilies around her and Lynn.

Later on, the exact status of their relationship is not clearly defined.

However, it is known that they go shopping together and choose clothes for each other, suggesting a close and comfortable bond.

Relationship with Arne Neuntöte

Amy pointedly refuses to call Arne by his name.

Instead, she calls him “Eins” or “Zwei,” changing the number based on how many hearts he currently has.

These nicknames come from German numbers: “eins” for one and “zwei” (spelled “zwei,” pronounced “tsvai”) for two.

The name “Neun” (nine) is pronounced “noin,” echoing Arne’s surname and the nine progenitors that formed him.

Her attitude toward Arne is a mix of old hatred, enforced loyalty, and dry mockery.

She recognizes his power and history but is not afraid to taunt him.

Relationship with Nachzehrer

Amy and Nachzehrer have known each other since the days when she hunted vampires as a vampire hunter.

Their relationship is something between comrades, rivals, and long‑suffering acquaintances.

On the battlefield, they fought many times.

According to Nachzehrer’s memories, Amy would let corpses fight on her behalf while she stood behind them drinking juice.

This behavior left a particularly annoying impression on Nachzehrer.

In Case 2 they meet again after several centuries, and their unique verbal exchanges become a highlight of the story.

Father: The Strongest Vampire Hunter

When Amy confronts Arne Neuntöte, she mimics a line from her father.

She says something to the effect of, “For you, even death is too gentle… or something like that.”

This line implies that her father was the “strongest vampire hunter” who once drove Arne into a corner.

It also shows that Amy’s brutal, uncompromising attitude in battle partly comes from his influence.

Her respect for her father appears to be one of the core pillars of her identity before death.

His shadow still hangs over her actions and her sense of justice, even as an undead.

Not a Vampire, Not a Hybrid

Amy’s body is extremely complicated in origin, but she is explicitly not a vampire.

Nor is she a half‑breed between a vampire and a zombie.

She resurrected herself as a zombie through her own necromantic curse.

After that, Arne Neuntöte forced a blood contract on her, creating a unique “undead under blood contract” state.

Because of this, she is immune to many of the usual rules that govern vampires.

Her immortality and condition are anchored more in necromancy than in vampirism.

Hatred of Men

Several scenes suggest that Amy dislikes men.

Her behavior toward male characters is noticeably harsher than toward women.

For example, when Niklas, the head of the Edelstein family, introduces himself, she shuts him down.

She tells him that there is no need for her to know his name and effectively orders him to be quiet.

In contrast, she immediately introduces herself to his female attendant Elise and asks for her name.

The contrast in how she treats them is obvious and intentional.

Later, when she infiltrates the werewolf tribe’s hideout and is surrounded by enemies, she makes a cruel joke.

She tells the two male characters accompanying her, “You two men can go ahead and die first. Then I’ll just use your corpses.”

In the game’s visuals, Amy’s character art darkens with shadows on her face when she talks to men.

Nachzehrer is a rare exception to this rule, and their banter feels more like that of old war comrades.

Lily Perfume

Amy constantly smells of lilies because she wears lily‑scented perfume.

This is not just a stylistic choice: she uses it to mask the smell of corpses that clings to her.

The use of lilies is symbolically loaded, especially in a story with strong yuri elements.

It adds a layer of romantic and gothic flair to her interactions with Lynn.

Within the story and related materials, Amy is occasionally given playful “status” labels.

These highlight different aspects of her at specific times.

In Case 2 (Problem Part, Section 5), she is called:

“Mysterious Undead”

– Respect: ★

– Immortality: ★★★★★

– ???: ★★★★★

In Case 2 (Problem Part, Section 6), she is called:

“Slightly Sharp‑Tongued Undead”

– Mockery: ★★★

– Immortality: ★★★★★

– ???: ★★★★★

In Case 2 (Solution Part, Section 7), she is called:

“Necromancer Who Has Exhausted Her Power”

– Calmness: ★★★

– Ability: ★

– ???: ★★★★★

In the story “Birth of Nachzehrer,” which depicts her past, she is called:

“Super Beautiful Girl Necromancer”

– Gal: ★★★★★

– Nails: ★★★★★

– Ability: ★★★★★

These ratings correspond to her earlier, flashy vampire hunter days and show her very different vibe at the time.

In the “Big Cleaning Operation” story, she is called:

“Slightly Sharp‑Tongued Undead”

– Mockery: ★★★

– Immortality: ★★★★★

– Lynn: ★★★★★

The “Lynn” stat at maximum level humorously emphasizes how much Amy prioritizes Lynn Reinweiß.

It underlines that, for all her deathly power and cynicism, her heart is thoroughly captured by one living girl.

Amy is referred to primarily by the name “Amy.”

She is sometimes called “Amy‑san” in contexts where others speak politely or teasingly about her.

These small variations usually reflect the speaker’s attitude toward her rather than any difference in her role.

Regardless of the form, they all point to the same undead necromancer whose quiet devotion and terrifying power define a major part of Arne no Jikenbo’s world.
