**Amber Witchhazel** (秋空志保, *Akisora Shiho*?) is one of the main characters of season 15 of *Guardians of Harmony* and the main central of the season. She is a bubbly and cheerful girl from Slateport, Hoenn.

## Bio

### Appearance

Amber has mid back-length dull orange hair (which becomes sparkly with a fade of golden yellow after she gets Stage 3) and big dark brown eyes, and freckles. Her Harmony Mark is a pumpkin next to an ear of corn. As a civilian, she wears a golden-yellow sleeveless top, an ankle-length light tan skirt, and bright yellow flats with bows. As an adult in the series finale, she wears (WIP).

As a Guardian of Harmony, her hair becomes two thick, wavy golden-orange pigtails held close together with a yellow bow while her eyes remain unchanged. She has a yellow dress with a solid yellow collared top and the skirt is knee-length and has orange and goldenrod stripes. Her short flared boots are yellow with red insides and goldenrod wedge heels, and she has goldenrod fingerless gloves and pumpkin earrings. She has a pair of white angel wings on her back. Her Harmony Gem, shaped like a yellow upside-down maple leaf, is placed in the center of her chest, while her Elemaximum Gauge, shaped like an ear of corn, is placed right below her Harmony Gem.

### Personality

Amber is very energetic, bubbly, cheerful, and excitable, always being eager to make new friends. She is fascinated by the stories of Nanette and her circle of friends (who died until the Law of Cycles retcon brings them back with semi-immortality) and often spends hours reading and talking about them, but luckily her unicorn pony friend Stargazer's talent is temporarily summoning apparitions of the deceased, so she and her friends often turn to them for advice when needed. She is very kind, happy, friendly and has a strong sense of justice when evil shows up. However, she is also naiive and gullible, being childish and easily distracted as well. Sometimes, she is also prone to insulting others when they don't agree with her even if their opinion is justified. She is also very gluttonous as she absolutely loves food and gets EXTREMELY pissed if somecreature steals her food. Her partner Pokémon is a Ninja Dragonet nicknamed Cinnamon.

Amber also is very optimistic, believing that everyone (such as Tsukiko and Honoko after the heroes use the Elements of Harmony on them) can receive a second chance and being very willing to forgive others if they genuinely have a change of heart. It is also shown that she gets upset very easily despite her anger often coming off as childish-sounding and often throws temper tantrums, such as demanding to know why Tsukiko and Honoko are evil and mean and create monsters that attack innocent people and Pokémon, but the childish way she said it just made them laugh at her instead. Due to her happy-go-lucky and rather childish personality, she is often oblivious to idioms and metaphors and is rather literal-minded, often taking what's supposed to be an idiom for a threat or insult as a compliment or joke. She is often rather dense, idiotic, and sometimes eccentric, often unintentionally insulting and making fun of others despite meaning well and sometimes even going as far as stalking somebody, but she doesn't have any malicious intentions and truly cares about her friends. She doesn't laugh if they fight or if somecreature gets sick or injured and will do her best to remedy the situation. Despite her childishness and immaturity, when transformed she becomes much more confident, brave, and serious and proves herself to be a confident and capable leader.

Like Sunny, she has always dreamed of everycreature being united in friendship and doesn't believe that Nanette and her friends are just fairy tales, even having a huge photo album of them, and becomes absolutely ecstatic but also stunned when she first sees a pony. She also desperately wants a Pokémon of her own and when she finds Cinnamon at a hidden Ninja Dragonet shelter, she eagerly wants to take her in immediately, but when the authorities find that a bunch of kids have Pokémon in their posession and try to take them away, she immaturely throws a tantrum and proceeds to punch the Officer Jenny in the face and has Cinnamon stab her with Water Shuriken. This causes Officer Jenny to call for reinforcements to have her arrested for assault, and she instantly regrets it, showing she has a remorseful side if she ends up harming somecreature or causing more trouble.

### Relationships

* **Whitely Daisy**: Her best friend and fellow Guardian. They do sometimes fight, however, as shown in one episode where both their personality flaws (immaturity and self-centeredness, respectively, for Amber and Whitely) causes them to get into a heated argument and then a fight that leads them to both get black eyes and broken noses, temporarily quit being friends, and ditch each other, but they soon both regret it (and both witch out), and after being purified, acknowledge that they were both at fault, reconcile, and earn the Dream Stones as a result.
* **Shawn Stonebeach**: Her fellow Guardian who she has a huge crush on. She eventually confesses to him in "A Loving Day to Remember" despite her childishness, and they eventually marry and have a daughter together. He usually refers to her as "Pumpkin Pie."
* **Cinnamon**: Her Ninja Dragonet who ridicules and snarks at her nonstop, but they truly care for each other. Prior to Season 16, she also gave birth to Dango (who is Kylie's Ninja Dragonet) after falling in love with Shawn's Wishiwashi (whose nickname is unknown) offscreen.
* **Blake Porter**: One of her friends and fellow Guardians, though she often makes fun of him by calling him "Blakey-(any excrement-related word)." She admires his inventions and often fawns over them, even when they explode and malfunction.
* **Melody Harmadale**: Amber is extremely excited to first meet Melody in the HoF movie (due to her being alive back when there was still magic), even though she grew up with history books that (correctly) protrayed her father as a murderous traitor who murdered his friends, but flat-out refuse to acknowledge his eventual redemption and even falsely paint him as a cannibal. Despite this and the fact that Melody is locked in the dungeon, the two become good friends (even though she is sometimes a bit annoyed by her immaturity). When she tells her that she was created by magic, she literally *screams* in excitement and repeatedly hugs her while begging for her autograph and calling her "Dame Melody the Magical."
* **Sunny Starscout**: The first non-human friend that Amber made, after she isn't terrified of her like all the other people and hides her in her house. She is *extremely* excited to first see a pony, and while she initially believes some stereotypes about ponies and vice versa, they quickly bond over their shared belief that creatures can be friends again.
* **Stargazer**: Amber is *ecstatic* when she first finds out that Stargazer has the ability to temporarily summon spirits of the deceased, so she can talk to the past Guardians. However, she learns to care about the actual Guardian herself and not just her powers.

### Etymology

* The kanji for her Japanese name "**Shiho**" mean "will" and "protection" while the kanji for her surname "**Akisora**" mean "autumn sky."
* "**Amber**" is a yellowish-orange color, often associated with autumn.
* "**Witchhazel**" is a type of medicinal plant.

## Magical Abilities

In her Guardian of Harmony form, Amber has enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

Amber has powers relating to the Earth, the harvest, and abundance. She can create shockwaves that cause the ground below to shake violently to damage an enemy, which she can control the magnitude of, and can attack with mud and soil. She also possesses fruit/seed-related powers as she can create giant ears of corn, pumpkins, and acorns as well as other fruits and vegetables to attack the enemy with, and with one touch, can cause a tree or plant to become heavy with fruit. Amber can also create and attack with autumn-themed prepared foods such as fully-baked pumpkin pie or stuffing, but these usually serve as more of a distraction. Her sense of smell appears to increase as well, allowing her to track somecreature's scent like a Stoutland, and she can even track a monster's scent (though this is a different thing from sensing their magic trail). Amber has also demonstrated the ability to manipulate wood and shape it into any construct (such as using giant log battering rams), the ability to manipulate fungi (such as creating an enormous mushroom and using its spores to paralyze enemies or using their mycelium threads to bind enemies), and sap manipulation powers as well, as she can shoot globs of sticky sap to impede enemies' movement. Amber, as the Guardian of Autumn logically would be, is able to create and whip up storms of autumn leaves. Her magic aura is orangish yellow in color.

## Pokémon

* Ninja Dragonet (nicknamed Cinnamon)
* Seedot -> Nuzleaf (Acorn)
* Eevee -> Flareon (nicknamed Pizza)
* Deerling (nicknamed Shrub)

## Guardian of Harmony

Amber is the Guardian of Fall/Autumn; she is an Earth Elemental who represents the Element of Magic. Her weapons are a scythe, a thick sickle, and a pitchfork, and her theme color is yellow.

### Transformation

Amber holds her Harmony Gem and shouts "Miracle Engage!", causing the Gem to glow and activate. She then puts the Harmony Gem close to her Power Necklace and as soon as the Necklace activates as well, the screen is engulfed in a white light.

### Attacks

* **Fall Breeze**: Amber's main purification finisher involving shooting a huge storm of autumn leaves at the enemy which purifies them.
* **Ground Quake Smash**: Amber's main damaging sub-attack, which was a Sync Move in SBALMYL. It involves her stomping the ground which releases a powerful magic yellow shockwave to damage the enemy.
* **Apple Bombing**: Amber's other damaging sub-attack. It involves her throwing giant apples like cannonballs at the enemy.
* **Maple Sap Collant**: Amber's non-damaging sub attack used to impede the enemy's movement.

## GoH Analysis Card Profile

The Guardian of Autumn, with a bubbly and cheerful nature. She loves to make friends and wants everycreature to be happy and get along, but she is often literal-minded, immature, and childish. Her greatest dream is for magic to be real and for Humans, Pokémon, and non-Humans to live in harmony. However, she eventually proves herself to be a great leader despite that. Her Element of Harmony is Magic.

## Trivia

* Amber's Harmony Mark was originally planned to be a cornucopia, but the creator didn't know how to draw one very well, so it was changed to a pumpkin and an ear of corn.
* Amber's birthday is October 26th, making her Zodiac sign Scorpio.
* Her hairstyle in Guardian form resemble's Aurea's Cinccino-like pigtail hairstyle in her Elemaximum form.
* Despite Amber's theme color being yellow and her magic aura and Harmony Gem being yellow, her Element crown is orange. It is unknown why this is the case, but it may be that Amber's signature shade of yellow looks almost identical to the canon stands.
	+ Only the pumpkin on her Harmony Mark is also seen in the middle, not the ear of corn.

* Although Kylie's powers and Elemental types are far more similar to Shawn's than Amber's, she has a yellow theme color and a yellow magic aura (and orange hair while transformed) just like Amber, is a wielder of the Element of Magic, and her golden-blonde hair color seems to be halfway between her mother's orange hair and her father's bright fluorescent yellow hair.
* Her witch form was originally going to be called "Rotten Pumpkin," but several characters already have a word related to "rotten" in their witch form's name, so it was instead changed to "Jack o' Lantern."
* She is the only Guardian who has wielded the Celestial and Dream Stones all at once. She ended up being hospitalized in one episode when she goes way too far in using them, however.
* Amber's "trademark favorite foods" are mac and cheese and pumpkin pie.
* She mentions that her wish she made offscreen after becoming a Guardian is to simply be a great Guardian so she can protect the Multiverse.
* Similar to Serena Tsukino and her canon counterpart, Amber becomes noticeably more confident and serious in her Guardian form than when not transformed, althoigh her childishness does sometimes bleed through. Her seriousness boost is most likely psychological.
* As a running gag, whenever she gets excited, she gets a bit *too* excited and will literally scream in excitement, sometimes getting in the individual's face and repeatedly begging for their autograph.
* Amber has *terrible* table manners. She shares this trait with Katrina (who, as her normal self, isn't considered a main character), though it is debateable which one has worse manners.
* A few times, Amber has attempted to steal and drive Blake's hoverbike. However, she luckily always gets stopped before she is able to.
* Due to being the one hiding the ponies in her house, Amber is instead the one bombarding Sunny with questions. Among her (somewhat ridiculous) questions:
	+ (to both Sunny and Izzy) "Do ponies wear hoof polish? How about snoutstick? (to Sunny) Can you really make plants grow instantly? Can you unrot fruits and vegetables?"
	+ (to Sunny) "Is it true that Earth Ponies don't give their dead a proper burial? I don't believe that, but I've heard it before."
	+ (to Izzy) "Do Unicorns fight by fencing with their horns? If so, do they wear armor? Do they have classes for that? What about shooting horn beams at each other?"
	+ (to both) "How tasty are hay burgers, hay shakes, and hay cookies?"

* Amber pours c*hocolate* Moomoo milk into her cereal instead of regular Moomoo milk.
* Although her powers revolve around the Earth and the harvest, she is not a Plant Elemental unlike Applejack. Oddly, Bryce from *The Divine Story* also has a yellow theme color and is the Guardian of Crops and Abundance, yet he is a Plant Elemental and not an Earth Elemental.
