Broken Mirror by Trees of Eternity

Appearance

This statuesque young woman stands a lofty six feet tall, with rather voluptuous curves that will frequently tempt the eye. Her hair is dark and thick; tumbling down in naturally large, loose curls. Storm grey eyes, surrounded by dark and lengthy lashes, and her full red lips are considered desirable features by some. Her skin is soft and pale; marred only by a long, thin scar slicing across her abdomen below her naval, and the loss of her left leg at her mid-thigh. Unable to have the limb restored, she was fitted with a high-quality, enchanted prosthetic that goes unnoticed by the less observant of her peers. Although her finesse with the prosthetic has grown considerably since she received it at the age of seventeen, she walks with a minor limp.

Although hidden by many of her regular outfits, other students will on occasion catch a glimpse of her two tattoos. The first is the image of a Manticore writhing around the rivets of a wine red Persian shield on the palm of her right hand. The second and more recent tattoo is far grander - covering her left side entirely from beneath her bosom and down onto her hip, it branches out onto both her back and her stomach. Green, thorny stems are woven together in a dizzyingly intricate pattern that connects thirteen different roses. The smallest rose is a pale cerise blossoming on her hip; the largest a dark carmine with black-tipped petals in full bloom on her upper back. The eleven remaining roses grow in a seemingly random pattern amid the thorny stems, ranging from scarlet to fire brick red in colour – the darker shades reserved for the larger roses. Near the largest rose, a black serpent appears to be slithering; paused as it weaves through the thorny stems that surround that rose.

Attire

Once infamous for her revealing outfits, Amber’s wardrobe has recently undergone a massive but silent transformation. Seemingly overnight, the miniskirts and low-cut tops disappeared, replaced by long dresses and other more modest and pretty outfits. Even with these changes, lace and corsetry remain fairly prominent within her wardrobe. Since this transformation, Amber has most often been seen wearing a delicate, honey gold lace dress. Owning little in the way of jewelry, the only piece worn daily by Amber is a necklace made of gold, featuring a small red crystal rose complete with green leaves and stem; a gift from her ex-boyfriend Lance Silverston. Though she once made significant use of cosmetics, as of late she only wears eyeliner, light eye shadow and her signature red lipstick on a daily basis.

Wand

The wand Amber wields is twelve inches long, composed of ebony beautifully carved around a core of unicorn hair, and inlaid with the crystallized kino of a desert bloodwood in a venous pattern. True to her wand’s core, Amber’s focus on has been the Healing Arts since her first year. Though she lags behind some of her peers, she has begun to use magic outside the classroom with growing frequency.

Friends

Circumstance and her empathetic nature have enabled Amber to make numerous friends over the years, both inside and outside the halls of Hogwarts. Ronni Malle and Shaant Cys’Varion are undeniably her closest friends and confidants, and Amber is fiercely devoted to them both. Although she has numerous friends she enjoys spending time with, her friendship with Skylar Dune has received the most attention as of late. The undoubtedly positive influence he has had on her, combined with the physical nature of their friendship and Amber’s clear affection for him has led to speculation regarding their relationship. The speculation leaves details hazy, whatever the nature of their relationship may be, Amber appears to be perfectly content.

Academics

Over the years Amber has proven to be a mediocre student, her excellent memory compensating for her inefficient study skills. Contribution within class tend to be minimal, as she is only inclined to answer questions or volunteer for demonstrations when no one else steps forward. Outside of the classroom she appears to have difficulty focusing on her work, and as a result many of her assignments are left to the last minute. Though she once dreamed of pursuing a career as a healer, her failure to pursue internships and other opportunities hints at a recent change of heart.

Past

As ever, Amber remains disinclined to discuss her family, childhood, or even provide much detail regarding her early years at Hogwarts. When the subjects are broached by friends, she will often provide some details - but never enough to construct a full picture. It is clear to anyone who befriends her that her past weighs heavily on her, but the efforts of her friends, the influence of a lover, and her weekly therapy sessions have aided her in beginning to ease the burden.
