Amy: Savior or Chimera?
Amy: Savior or Chimera? is an essay written by Kara Wild in September 1999.
Background
Amy: Savior or Chimera? was among the earliest of many essays and fanfics that Wild used to poke holes in the Saint Amy image. At the time it came out, the notion that Amy was not Daria's automatic ally was not widely accepted.
Summary
Using evidence from "I Don't" and "Through a Lens Darkly," Wild points out how distant Amy and Daria's relationship really is.
Trivia
Wild would expand upon her essay's claims in All But Forgotten, Memory Road, Abruptly Amy, and her unfinished novellas in the Driven Wild Universe Apocrypha.
