Physical Description:
Amber has dark brown fur and amber paws. She also has a white rim around her dark amber eyes. Her underbelly is a lighter brown, like autumn leaves. Though she is small in stature, years of hardship and travel have made her lean and strong. She has dark, sharp claws which are very useful for climbing, too. Amber sometimes stoops a bit, though. The tip of her right ear was ripped off in a run-in with a fox, which she barely survived.Belongings:
Dusty old brown tunic, a set of throwing knives, a long, weathered oak spear and an old willow bowPersonality:
She is rather shy and silent. Amber prefers not to talk to anyone and has a mysterious personality that no one can seem to figure out. Around other creatures she is as hard as rock, but when she is by herself she often cries and talks to herself. Her only known weakness is her own story and how she came to live in the woods, but not much else is known about her because she rarely speaks.History:
Amber was born in Mossflower wood at the height of spring. Her family were travelers trying to reach a healer in hopes of healing her older brother, who was very sick at the time. Unfortunately, they never made it in time. Her brother died a few days later, so Amber's family decided to settle down for a while.Code Words: [[Correct]]
Many years later, when Amber was ten years old, at the end of a mild autumn, Amber went out to explore the woods as she always did. But this time she went out much farther than usual and got lost. For weeks Amber tried to find the way back to her home, forever fighting to survive. When she finally returned, Amber saw her slaughtered family, killed by a group of rogue rats. With no other place to go, Amber took the old willow bow, her mother's famous weapon, and set out into the woods which became her home.
Her mother's bow really has a story of its own. It was made by her grandmother during a raid in her village. When Amber's grandmother when out to hunt for food, she saw the band of rogues traveling through the woods. With a few arrows, they were all dead and the dreadful raids ended. Then Amber's grandmother passed the bow down to Amber's mother, who used it to fight against the raiding vermin. After these events, the willow bow became a sign of victory and protection among her family.
Amber's five-year wanderings have earned her quite a reputation. A sure shot with one of her flashing silver daggers and a steady hand with her spear have killed many a vermin wandering in Mossflower. Amber is very good at handling her weapons, though she isn't as good with her bow as she is with daggers, and of course Amber would rather take her spear any day. She has also the many different edible plants in the woods, great places to shelter and how to make virtually anything out of what the Mossflower woods have to offer. Amber has been hanging around Redwall for some time now and has finally worked up the courage to come in.
