Amber Brown

**Amber Suzuki Garmadon** (born **Amber Brown**) was the Elemental Master of Energy and Green Ninja of Earth-44. She was the youngest daughter and second child to Jackson Brown and Rune Garmadon, sister of Liberty Brown, niece of Zora M. Brown and niece of Lloyd W. Garmadon. Amber was also the mother of Scott Brown and silent guardian over the Defenders. She was the second Green Ninja of Earth-44 to come after her uncle and the fallout of the Core Ninja Team. She also is a regular member of the Earth-20/Earth-21 Ninja Force, mentor of their successors and vessel to Magnus's power. As a child, Amber became quite talented at certain hobbies, one of which was soccer (or football as most call it). She would become a star player of Ninjago City's Varsity League and attend the games regularly while balancing her Elemental Master and Ninja work at the same time. She would often train under her mother, her aunt and her uncle when he was around. But unfortunately, this bond with her uncle didn't last long as he would be killed by a variant of his adopted son from another reality, who worked with the Prowlers to act upon killing him. In spite of her sadness and hate for the Prowlers, Amber would take one of her father's reality-crossing ships and travel to Earth-20 where the boy originated from.

Upon arriving on the reality and crashing her ship, Amber would set out to find the cause for the boy's vendetta against her uncle and would soon run into the Elites. The three warriors would take her to the Lloyd of that reality, who would take her in, introduce her to his Ninja Team, make a deal with her not to speak a word about Landon, and help her finish where her uncle left off in her training. Amber would become a member of his Ninja Force and would soon grow close to her new teammates while Lloyd and Zane worked to fix her ship. Amber would play a small part in the conflixt against the Elemental Lords and would help defeat and vanquish the Chaos Demon. She would help take down a clone of her grandfather and his followers all while unlocking her True Potential and help save the city from being crushed under the weight of Shiro's Legion of Towering Collusus. During that battle, Amber would yet again say goodbye to a Lloyd who mentored her and this would hurt her deeply. It would be during the conflict with Raven, daughter of the Overlord, that Amber would help turn her to the light only to be gravely injured by Garmadon who used her newly rebuilt ship to send her home to where she would lie in a coma for over five years. But this would not be the last Earth-20 would see of her.

After waking from her coma and training for a few months to get back into fighting shape, Amber would return to Earth-20 (which was now Earth-21) and attempt to help them in their conflict. However, upon arriving she was hit by a blast from a rogue Time Keeper's ship and de-aged to a child only to be captured by the Sons of Chaos who served under Landon who had killed her uncle. After hearing of her return, the Ninja Force would rescue her, help her get back to her normal age, and work alongside her against many threats including a deathmatch between Garmadon and Landon, an uprising of evil sorcerers, new outsiders trying to enslave the First Realm's inhabitants, the invasions of Oni and many more threats. She would cross paths with Garmadon and Landon a few more times before she and the Ninja Force finally vanquished them from the reality for good. Aside from these victories, nothing could prepare the female Green Ninja for what came next in her adventures...

With the Dark Order instigating a conflict between the Prowlers and Oni Empire into one with the entire multiverse, the Ninja Force of Earth-21 and their allies within the government would form a multiversal alliance with their friends from other worlds: the Multiverse Protection Corps. Serving as both a representative of her home reality and a commanding general upon the field of battle, Amber leapt into action alongside her friends and family to save the multiverse from destruction. Amber would aid in stopping the Oni Warlord of Fear from destroying the MPC, return her undead uncle to the afterlife, and protect her home realm from the God Garmadon's carnage. After the wars, Amber settled down and had her son Scott with superstar MPC captain Barry Hawkins.

In the new age of Defenders and their foes, Amber would stay relatively sidelined up until the death of her son due to a Prowler remnant attempting to kamikaze their starship into New Genesis City. Returning to her world to end the Dream Weaver and Prowlers once and for all, the emergence of the Shadows of Kronos and the Crimson Messiah alerted Amber to the action back on Earth-21. During the quick conflict with this alliance of foes with aligning motives, Amber would be struck down by the Crimson Messiah alongside Lydia Kurosu and Akosua Kenji. Being remembered alongside her sister, son and other heroes and allies that had fallen during this "golden age", Amber's legacy would be carried on up until the bittersweet end of her home reality.

## History

### Early Life

#### Growing Up

Amber was the second-born child of Jack B. Brown and Rune P. Garmadon. She was born on the populous world of Earth-44 where the ninja had started a hero organization, simply called the Hero Force. It's founder; and Amber's uncle Lloyd W. Garmadon was its head as they rebelled against the invasion of Prowlers on Earth-44. The day Amber was birthed, Wu Garmadon died of unknown circumstances. Lloyd believed that his spirit would live on in Amber and her older sister, Liberty, and would guide the two through their life. As Amber grew up in her parent's penthouse in downtown Ninjago City, she discovered her elemental powers, which she had inherited from her uncle. Unfortunately Amber was only four at the time of her discovery, so she had little to no control over her powers. Rune decided to approach Lloyd about the possibility of him training Amber. Lloyd said he would be busy, although he could find time to train both of his sister's daughters on weekends. Whereas Lloyd couldn't succeed in getting through to Amber, her father did. Thanks to her father's training, Amber gained full access to her powers through Magnus whom she had met as a baby. When Amber wasn't training, she would play in the pro-premiere soccer team in Ninjago City. Although she was the only girl on her team, she was their best player getting them countless wins throughout the season of each year. Amber had the perfect life on her homeworld, but tragedy was inevitable...

#### Darkness Falls

At age thirteen Amber was at the height of her soccer career, and she had become an elite warrior too. But the Prowlers had advanced on Ninjago City during her big championship finale and had kidnapped her sister. After she won the game, Amber noticed her sister was missing from the field and then saw the news. Lloyd had gone to save Liberty alongside a team of elite agents. Amber rushed to Liberty's location in her uncle's car, The Ninja Nightcrawler. But she arrived too late to witness her uncle die at the hands of Fallen Angel. After the Police and Paramedics had arrived, Lloyd breathed his last breath telling Amber and Liberty to not dwell on the past. It broke their hearts, Amber's especially. She ran off getting mad at herself and had a power warp. This power unleashed sent her falling into the bay of the Ninjago City on Earth-20, where she would find help from an unexpected force...

#### A New Family

The Lloyd Garmadon of Earth-20 found Amber shortly after her arrival, due to her alarming people saying she was the real Green Ninja. He took her out of Police HQ and took her home to the Mountain Base and let her settle in before meeting his young ninja. After lying to them of her origins, the ninja accepted Amber as one of their own. Brad was of course the first to humbly introduce himself, then the Carrow sisters took her under their wings to show her the ropes. But it was Natalie who was suspicious of the fact that Amber possessed the same elemental powers as Michael. Lloyd then decided to tell only Jason, Michael, and Vincent the truth about Amber so nobody would reveal who she was to anyone else. Lloyd noticed that Amber had not yet gained her True Potential, so he continued her training.

### Life as a Ninja

#### Gods and Emperors

As Amber continued her training to reach her full potential, she was appointed to help the ninja fight against the Elemental Lords, a band of villains that fought the FSM years ago. Both Amber and Michael were surprised to learn that Viktor, who was their leader, utilized the same elemental power as them. The two soon realized that the FSM's mercy had started to change his heart. When Viktor could control the Chaos Demon inside of him, he would impart wisdom to the Ninja in what he called a Game of Masks. What the ultimate goal of the "game" was, was for the Elemental Lords to retrieve all six of their supernatural masks to release the Chaos Lord from the confinement of Viktor's soul.

## Notes

* Amber's love for soccer when she was young inspired her to become a coach for the Ninjago City United Soccer League, sometime after Beyond: The Power Wars.
* Amber is the third most powerful Green Ninja in the Beyond Franchise tied with her half-nephew Daniel Garmadon. But this puts her above Michael Garmadon and Lucas Garmadon.
