With the release of Alien Isolation coming up I've decided to do a fairly basic profile on the daughter of Ellen Ripley and the hero of the up coming Creative Assembly game.
Her mother conceived her during a layover between haulage trips, which was counter to company policy, although she was not disciplined for her indiscretion and the pregnancy was allowed to come to term and Amanda was delivered in a home birth, in the presence of Ripley's husband. She was still a child when her mother disappeared following the loss of the Nostromo.
As a result of her mother disappearance 15 years later, Amanda went looking for her which eventually lead her to Severtorpol a decommissioned trading space station. Onboard, she encountered a xenomorph. She was able to escape the Drone and continued with her life according to Burke in Aliens.
Burke also informed Ripley that Amanda died at the age of sixty-six, two years before her mother's return fifty-seven years after her initial disappearance. Sometime before her death she married, taking the name 'McClaren', but had no children.
Side not in Aliens the photo Bruke Show's Ripely is actually Weaver mother Elizabeth Inglis who Creative Assembly used her likeness at the age of 25 for Amanda in the game. So in the Aliens universe Weavers mother plays her daughter.
