### Personality

Amber is very energetic, bubbly, cheerful, and excitable, always being eager to make new friends and being determined to make magic real if it kills her, and she never grew up with any friends at all. She is fascinated by the stories of Nanette and her circle of friends (who died until the Law of Cycles retcon brings them back) and often spends hours reading and talking about them, but luckily once magic returns, 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 somecreature, 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 Allison and 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, and screams in excitement when she first finds out Melody was alive when msgic existed and that she was created by magic. 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

* **Allison Starshine**: One of her friends, and she joins Allison on her quest to restore magic since she is one of the few individuals who believes something might be wrong with the status quo. She even refers to her as "Allie-chan."
* **Whitely Daisy**: Her best friend and fellow Magi, who she first meets in an unknown *Allison Magica* chapter and is eager to befriend despite their completely different viewpoints. They do occasionally fight, however, as shown in one chapter 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 Magi who she has a huge crush on. She eventually confesses to him in the equivalent to "A Loving Day to Remember" despite her childishness, they have their first kiss in said chapter, and they eventually marry and have a daughter together. He usually refers to her as "Pumpkin Pie" after this.
* **Cinnamon**: Her Ninja Dragonet who ridicules and snarks at her nonstop, but they truly care for each other.
* **Blake Porter**: One of her friends and fellow Magis, though she sometimes 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 *Allison Magica* (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, complete with photoshopped photos of him eating little kids. 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 Divine Melody the Hopey Magical."
* **Sunny Starscout**: The first non-human friend that Amber made. 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 and sometimes even speak in unison.
* **Stargazer**: After magic is restored, 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 Magis. At first, she constantly begs her to summon spirits of them so she can chat with them all day, causing her to get annoyed. However, she learns to care about the actual Magi 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 magical girl form, Amber has enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly. Her magic aura is orangish-yellow in color.

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 is also given by one of her Dream Pixies the ability to manipulate wood and shape it into any construct (such as using giant log battering rams), another one gives her 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 she has sap manipulation powers from the start as well, as she can shoot globs of sticky sap to impede enemies' movement. Amber, as the Warrior of Autumn logically would be, is able to create and whip up storms of autumn leaves.

## Dream Pixies

* **Melon** - A yellow fox-like Dream Pixie. She is Amber's first Dream Pixie and grants her a scythe.

## Items

* **Power Necklace**
* **Harmony Gem** *(is stored in the Magical Warrior app when unused)*

## Pokémon

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

## Magical Warrior

Amber is the Warrior of Fall/Autumn (either is correct); she is an Earth Elemental who represents the Element of Magic. Her known weapons so far are a scythe, a thick sickle, and a pitchfork, and her theme color is yellow.

### Attacks

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

## 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 Puella Magi form resemble's Aurea's Cinccino-like pigtail hairstyle in her Elemaximum form.
* 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 Magi who has wielded the Celestial and Dream Stones all at once. She ended up being hospitalized in one chapter 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 Puella Magi offscreen is to simply be a great magical girl so she can protect the Multiverse.
* Similar to the canon Usagi, Amber becomes noticeably more confident and serious in her Magi 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. This lessens as she becomes more mature.
* Amber has *terrible* table manners and as a running gag, chews loudly and eats extremely sloppily. 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, but she always gets stopped before she can. This stops in the later chapters after her Character Development with Whitely.
* Her comedic excited screaming has turned into a running gag, and has even become a made-up Internet meme.
* Her witch form can cause anycreature's body to spontaneously combust with a snap of her metaphorical fingers - and only the Starrubies and Honoko are immune since they are Fire Elementals, and the Fire-type Pokémon are also immune, forcing them to fix everything.
* She and Sunny contracted with Perserver!Twilight offscreen.
