Amphora is one of Amanda's roommates at the Legatum Continuatum School for the Descendants of Famous Detectives. She is of Indian descent and was born in London. She is a bit testy and is afraid of many things. She is also boy-crazy, except when it comes to Simon Binkle, with whom she argues constantly. Sometimes she and Amanda have a strained relationship, but at other times they’re good friends.

Amphora has a highly developed sense of design and is planning a career fighting espionage in the fashion industry. She first appears in Book 1 of the Amanda Lester series, Amanda Lester and the Pink Sugar Conspiracy.
