TRAITS:  Amanda Waller is tough, intimidating, stubborn, and harsh. Traits required for a job as intense as warden of Belle Reve or latter when she rejoins federal service, initially as Southeastern regional director for the Department of Extranormal Operations and when she is promoted to Secretary of Metahuman Affairs.  Even when in danger, her strong attitude is just as salient,  Amanda can make the hard decisions without a second thought and has little to no emotional attachment to most things or people which makes her exceptionally good at her job.  Her detachment was learned after the loss of her family and whenever she gets reminders of them and feels the onslaught of emotion Amanda makes sure she is alone with no chance to be disturbed before she will let herself feel for what she has lost.

HISTORY:

SPOILER: Click to show

this will be equal parts my own words and what little bit of wiki history there is for her

Amanda has never been a stranger to violence and the harsh reality of the world. Growing up in the inner city of Chicago during the late 1960/early 1970s she had seen her fair share of horrible things and at a young age she quickly learned what it took to survive. She and her older brother Steven navigated the rough streets easily, managing to always stay out of harms way until one day when Amanda was 10 her brothers luck ran out.

The loss of her brother was hard on Amanda. The two had always been close and Steven had always looked out for his younger sister but instead of outwardly grieving the young girl internalized her anger and used it to fuel her studies, vowing that one day she would get out of the city.

All throughout her academic career Amanda worked hard. Taking as many classes as she could in a variety of interest but with a focus in government studies, she also joined a number of school clubs but her favorite were the debate team and chess club of which she was equally excellent at. Once she graduated she was accepted at the University of Chicago where she perused a degree in political science and it was during this time that she would meet her husband Malcolm. Right before Amanda was to graduate with her bachelors Malcolm proposed and the two enjoyed a short time as newly weds before Amanda found out she was pregnant with their first child and while they did not live in the lap of luxury nor had they escaped the inner city Amanda was…happy.

A few years later and with their second child Amanda was still working on her career, working toward her masters when everything changed.

Amanda has been established as a widow who escaped Chicago's Cabrini–Green housing projects with her surviving family after one of her sons, one of her daughters and her husband were murdered. Waller eventually obtained a doctorate in political science (as revealed in Checkmate v.2 # 1 where she is addressed as "Doctor Waller") and became a congressional aide. During that time, she discovered the existence of the first two incarnations of the Squad. Taking elements from both of these, she proposed the development of its third incarnation to the White House and was placed in charge upon its approval.

After losing her family Amanda once again turned her anger and grief into something constructive and finished her master program and immediately began her doctorate it was also during this time that she began to work her way into the political scene. Starting out as a congressional aide Amanda worked her way up the ranks and right into the white house when she proposed a plan to use the Meta Humans for covert purposes. The White House, tho reluctant agreed and placed Amanda in charge of Belle Rev prision as its warden where she could observe the meta humans and begin to put her plan to use.

Unbeknownst to Waller, Superboy and Miss Martian were on an undercover mission at Belle Reve as Tommy and Tuppence Terror. When they arrived along with Mister Freeze and Icicle Jr., Waller introduced herself and explained the basics of the inhibitor collars. She then stated the prison walls were thick enough to hold even Superman, and went on to say that no one had and never would escape Belle Reve.
After a "scuffle" in the mess hall, Mr. Freeze was brought before Waller. Freeze froze the prison guard, and broke his cuffs with an ice gauntlet. Waller activated his collar, but Freeze tore it off, and froze Waller's arm before she could fire a gun. Freeze shut down the collars and cell doors, allowing the prisoners to break free. He imprisoned Waller, Dr. Hugo Strange, and the guards in the cells.
When Brick taunted Waller about being warm due to their thermal uniforms, Waller incited him. Brick grabbed her through the bars menacingly, but Hugo Strange convinced him to spare her.
Eventually, Superboy (still disguised as Tommy Terror), turned the collars back on. This angered Icicle Sr., who assumed it was Waller. He confronted her and as he was about to land a blow, Hugo tackled Icicle Sr. and knocked him out. After Superboy walked out with Miss Martian, the prisoners were put back in their cells, and Belle Reve was scheduled to be up and running the next day.
Unfortunately, the breakout attempt cost Waller her job as warden, and she was replaced by Hugo Strange.[2]

With her job as warden now gone Amanda returned to the White House and began pushing for more action to be taken against the meta humans, claiming them to be a danger to national security. With so many new villains and heroes popping up everyday and no way to track them Amanda proposed a bill that would require all meta humans to register themselves so they could monitor the rise in their numbers….something that has been greeted with much controversy and scrutiny.
