– Amanda, in Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen

Amanda Hollister is the six year old sister of MacKenzie Hollister, who is best friends with Brianna Maxwell (Nikki Maxwell's younger sister). She is known to be very gullible as seen in Book 3 When Brianna tells Amanda that she has a pet unicorn even though it was a lie not only did Amanda believe Brianna but also became quite fond of her.

Appearance[]

Amanda has long, straight blonde hair with bangs that are usually seen with two barrettes and blue almond-shaped eyes.

She looks similar to her sister, except that Amanda's hair is straight than wavy (although her hair was curly in the third book). She also wears expensive clothes, just like her older sister, MacKenzie.

Personality[]

As a spoiled yet cute brat that is the sister of a rude teenager, Amanda likes getting what she wants; for instance, she threw a tantrum in the mall in Book 9 because MacKenzie wouldn't buy her a Princess Sugar Plum purse.

But unlike her mom, Mrs. Hollister and her sister MacKenzie, Amanda doesn’t seem vain, selfish, or rude, just a bit spoiled. Amanda also appears to be a girly-girl and quite fashionable, since she wears expensive clothes.

History[]

Amanda was briefly mentioned in the first book after Brianna Maxwell kicked MacKenzie Hollister. In the second book, she was mentioned again. Her first appearance, however, was in the third book at the Queasy Cheesy with MacKenzie and Jessica Hunter where she thought Brianna was a pop star and asked for her autograph.

In the ninth book, Amanda went to the mall with her sister MacKenzie to buy a new uniform. Amanda ends up stealing MacKenzie's wallet so that she could buy herself a poodle-in-a-purse. When she is told to return the toy, Amanda threw a tantrum. Before they left the mall, Amanda returned the dog and got her toy later.

In the tenth book, Amanda told Nikki Maxwell about MacKenzie's new school and that she was bullied, before being dragged off by MacKenzie.
