* SerialKiller: She killed a bunch of characters over the course of the summer, and before.

Far from the good girl she presented herself as, Amy was actually the [[BigBad The primary antagonist]], seeking to raise Malphas and serve as his vessel. Having long felt like an outcast, she saw Malphas as the only one who "understood" her. Most of the murders on the show were her doing, including the death of her family and her friend Margot before the show started (the latter done to take her spot on the counselor roster), with the Satanic cult serving as her {{Unwitting Pawn}}s.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Claims that the reasons the cultists are doing what they are doing so they can live forever because they are tired of people pushing them around and want to even the score.

*

* CopKiller: She kills several state police officers [[OffScreenCarnage although, it was never shown how exactly. We just see their bodies in the lake.]] in the final episode.

* TheSociopath: She killed her own family when she was a little girl, her only friend Margot so she could take her place at the camp.
