Amber’s grandmother would describe her as a lovely young lady. Her Muggle parents have taught her an excellent behaviour, including politeness, showing respect and possessing outstanding table manners. 

She always puts on a friendly face and is able to easily twist someone around her little finger, using only her charming smile whenever she needs too.

Despite her young age, she seems to act very mature and grownup already, which one can see when realising how smartly and thoughtfully she handles herself. Like an architect, she looks at situations very objectively and plans her every move, weighing each sides in her head beforehand.

The young girl is incredibly perfectionistic which has its perks and its faults. One of the positive aspects is that she completes tasks very carefully and with a lot of detail, since she has a weakness for detailed things. Apart from this, Amber is very studious, hardworking and a quick learner. Nevertheless, she often tries to be too perfect sometimes when it isn’t necessarily needed or wanted.

According to her INTJ personality type, she is introverted and likes to spend some time alone rather than going out with friends. However, as soon as she finds herself in a very extroverted position, she realises that this can be fun, too.

On the outside, Amber does not often show her feelings to the outer world, but she does this more because of not wanting to bother other people with her issues rather than being cold-hearted. To be honest, she is very sentimental indeed and takes every tiny little word or sign to heart, which results in her overthinking everything.

However, as soon as she has found herself someone whom she can trust, Amber will likely spill most of her secrets which she usually keeps to none other than herself.

Around strangers she can sometimes be very shy - nevertheless, she has a rather confident and positive personality. The girl likes listening to other people’s issues and tries helping them as best as she can. One can see her laughing or smiling almost constantly when she is around her friends. When she does this, the skin around her eyes crinkles and the cute dimples on her cheeks show.

Her caramel brown hair flows down her head in gentle waves until it reaches her collarbones. Whenever she is excited, her forest green eyes seem to light up the room.

But - as soon as someone shows an unfriendly behaviour towards her - her attitude and behaviour will change in an instant. Amber can be very cold and dismissive towards these people.

Since she is more of the creative type of person, Amber loves to draw, read and write stories herself. One can often find her in the library, in a deserted hallway on a windowsill or outside in the cooling shade of a tree with some sort of book or notebook in her hands. Before she found out she was a wizard she wanted to become an architect or a lawyer.

Amber possesses a magnificent photographic memory and a brilliant memory in general because she remembers A LOT. She has a talent for logical thinking, as well.

In addition, the girl is very truthful, loyal and fair. It is somewhat of a pity that she hates lying to people, because she is a naturally gifted liar.

She is a hopeless romantic (which might have been induced by reading too many romantic novels) and believes in soulmates, as well as in fate (there are no coincidences) and in karma.

One of her flaws is that she detests when people do not respect her opinion or when they just do not allow her to speak or defend herself in an argument.

Moreover, she cannot forgive very easily. However, if one shows her that he/she is deeply sorry for his/her actions, she will eventually forgive this person after a few days or weeks.

Amber is claustrophobic and afraid of everything that is bigger, higher or taller than 10 or 20 meters since she finds very huge things frightening.


Her family consists of her parents (which run a small but successful restaurant), her older sister Ellie (21 years old) who already has a lovely newborn son called Louis and her younger brother Lucas (5 years old) who dreams of being a pilot. She gets along with her siblings very well, but since there is a huge age gap between Ellie and her, she does not have that much contact to her. Her brother, however, she loves deeply and she feels very protective and responsible for him. Amber’s grandmother plays a vital part in her life as well, since her parents are often too busy with work to look after her and her siblings which is why her “grandmama” often comes by their house. The girl loves her grandmother a lot, especially her stories which she made up only for them to have a good nights sleep. Moreover, her grandmother was her inspiration to wanting to write stories herself.

Surprisingly, Amber even loves her grandmother more than her own parents. Why? Well, her parents treated her with kindness and she had a fairly good childhood, but still, they were not always there for her when she needed them.

Especially when she got her letter from Hogwarts, her parents were sceptical. They thought it was some kind of a joke or an advertisement from a new toy shop. So, they immediately ripped the letter apart and Amber cried for days (she still has not quite forgiven them) until finally, three days later, a new owl arrived with a new letter. Fortunately, her grandmother was looking after Amber and Lucas that day. Their grandma was the first one to believe that Hogwarts and the wizarding world were real because Amber had shown some magical abilities in her presence a couple of times since she was about three years old (she made ‘disgusting’ vegetables turn into delicious sweets once). The woman offered to go to Diagon Alley and King’s Cross Station with her due to the time lack of her parents.

Amber has always been an excellent student (straight A’s only) and is very eager to learn all about the wizarding world (she has been reading through all her school books every day since she bought them). She is really looking forward to her first day of school, especially for Charms and Transfiguration class. Herbology and Potions interest her, as well.

Amber is a Hatstall since the Sorting Hat spent a long time trying to figure out whether to put her into Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff.

The girl was born on the 27th of August.
