Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:Just both of her ears pierced, she possesses no tattoos. She has a small scar on the inside of her right arm but claims to not know how she got it.
Personal Style: When it comes to style Amber claims to have none. She generally for comfort and the weather more than anything else, however, she always tends to be in something at least slightly stylish. On cooler days she's not without her leather jacket. It tends to be practical also. She admires the beauty of the Indian Sari yet doubts she would be found in one anytime soon.
As far as makeup goes she keeps the majority of it natural and quite minimalistic. Most days it's usually just foundation and mascara if she finds the time to do so, that and maybe also winged eyeliner, the most 'unnatural' part of her make-up routine. Jewellery is probably the onw thing she wears to an impractical extent. She often dons a few rings and almost always wears the necklace passed down to her from her grandmother just before her passing, a small sapphire on a thin gold chain.

Personality:Amber has the adorable attitude to go with her baby face. An all-round sweetheart and cheerful young lady she makes it her goal to keep her friends smiling. She's funloving and seems to laugh at anything, even the worst of dad jokes seem to have her laughing. It's not until you really get to know her she has a mischievous side. She's quite clumsy and tends to have run into every object in the area if she's been there long enough.
Rather spontaneous, she has quite a carefree outlook on life which doesn't necessarily serve her well. She is a master procrastinator and sometimes makes promises and commitments she can't keep, although most of them have good intentions initially. She has trouble owning up to a mistake and would make excuse after excuse to avoid trouble or the blame over just admitting it was her fault. She's quick to trust, however, she can stubbornly hold a grudge like noone's business.

What Brings You To India: One reason can't be pinpointed for Amber's visit to India as a couple contribute. She wanted to get away from her parents, perhaps she would then actually feel free, free of their judgement at least. On top of this always wanted to travel to a new country for a long-term stay and now she has completed uni, why not? She visited India on a trip years ago and always wanted to go back so now is better than ever.
History: Amber had 7 minutes of peace before her twin brother was born. Not that there was anything wrong woth her brother, and that was the problem. He was just... perfect. During their early years they were practically inseparable, even before they reached their first year it was evident they were connected at the hip. It was also obvious Micheal, Amber's twin, was progressing earlier than his sister in pretty much everything. He started crawling younger, walked earlier and talked first.
As time went on it seemed everything Amber could do Michael could learn quicker and do better. Because of this her parents, despite trying not to, favoured Michael. This would leave them to, unintentionally, leave Amber in the dirt as they continued to praise their son. Amber grew up hearing a lot of commits comparing her to her brother and it not only irritated her but cut deeply. (In Ameber's eyes) Her grandmother seemed to be the only person to see Amber's worth and Amber would make as many excuses to stay with her as possible.
When she was 15 that changed as her grandmother passed. Amber lost the one person she felt thought she was important and fell into a depressive state. Whether it was just depression within herself or literal clinical depression is unknown as she never told her parents, convinced they wouldn't listen or care.
Her brother, persistent to be as close to his sister as he once was, tried to become closer to her yet she just pushed him away. As their parents continued to praise their son on his constant achievements Amber attempted to try new hobbies to get her parents' attention, praise even, but the problem with having a twin with a similar mindset is they find interest in the same activities as you and everything she would get into so would her brother. Riddled with a bitter envy for her brother and disapproval for her parents' favouritism she attempted to push them away.
Not long after she left for uni she had a mental breakdown after a phone call from her parent turned into them boasting about Michael and going on about how they knew he would achieve greatness, note the
he not
they and made content between them as minimal as possible, unable to cope with the comparison to her brother. She continued on with her degree finding herself becoming happier without having the achievements of her brother looking over her shoulder or her parents pointing them out. Eventually came to be the cheery young woman sheis today and promised to never let her future children live that way.
Only in recent times has she reconnected with her brother and feels a slight bit off regret for dropping her family like such but doubts she's ready to face her parents.
