Amber Crowley was a quiet and respectful tribute from District 3. She was lauded as a crafty tinkerer and developed complex mechanical prototypes in her free time. Known to be childhood friends with fellow tribute Morrigan, she was a member of a The Disaster Gays alliance and captured the hearts of many with her shy but delightful personality. A trained monk, she was working before the Games toward mastering a technique of combat that does not require sight.

## Character Bio

### Appearance

At a comparably average height of 5'4, Amber was a slightly meek goliath. She had bluish-gray, somewhat short hair and wore round, black glasses. Her interview outfit looked to this Archivist as if it had been drawn from the design school known as Steampunk. She wore large brass protective goggles at the top of her head, a vest, and a pair of trousers of light blue and brown leather, all subtly decorated with mechanical pieces of glass and various metals.

### Character History

#### Childhood

Amber was raised in District 3 by a fairly large family. Her parents and siblings were assembly line workers in various technology manufacturing plants, helping her to pick up some of these innovative skills in her childhood. From a young age, fellow tribute Morrigan was one of Amber's closest friends in the District.

#### Adolescence

Like many other tributes, Amber was thrust into adulthood too early. She and her best friend Morrigan were reaped on what was likely a traumatizing day for the young Goliath. Before the Reaping, she had begun to train in the martial arts so that she could defend herself if she were to ever need it.

> We've always been here for one another. Let's just say it like this: it makes things in the arena easier, but also so infinitely more difficult.

## Preparing For The Games

### Interview

Amber began her interview with the famed Caesar Flickerman by discussing the food in the Capitol, joking that the Games would serve as a diet for her. The District 3 tribute went on to display her mental toughness and straightforward approach to handling the Games to a captive studio audience. Toward the end of the interview, Amber discussed the joys, difficulties, and intricacies of being in the Games with her childhood best friend, Morrigan.

### Time in the Training Grounds

While in the Training Grounds, Amber had an interesting interaction with tributes Zerlina, Thyra, and Ifan. During some heated moments between the three, Amber jested about how the rival tributes should star in their own daytime drama. After speaking briefly with the group, she declined invitations to spar (from Ifan) or drink (from Zerlina). After this, she remained fairly silent until her Evaluation, where she impressed judges with her martial arts prowess and scored an impressive 7.3 (eighth best among tributes).

## During The Games

### Bloodbath

Amber's first move off of the platform was to retrieve a crossbow. She proceeded to equip herself with various equipment, including a magic bow, a spear, and a healing potion. Together, she and Juniper eliminated Ryhno in the Cornucopia. After quickly stopping to loot Ryhno's armor, she ran off safely into the surrounding forest.

### Day 1

Shortly after escaping the Cornucopia with her friends Morrigan and Juniper, Amber and her group gained Alexander's help. Using his pre-existing friendship with the enemy alliance, Alexander lured the Angels into a trap. Their trap ultimately failed, as the ambush was spotted by Thyra. After this, frenzied melee followed near the location of The Lifespring.

### Death

During the battle, Amber was gravely injured by Ettezroc. Her ally, Juniper, bravely picked her up and attempted to escape. In the end, Juniper's efforts were not enough and Amber fell victim to a crossbow bolt from Ifan.

## Trivia

Amber's trinket going into battle was a single glass chess piece. It has, of course, been catalogued by the Panem Archive.

The official title of Morrigan, Juniper, (briefly Alexander), and Amber's alliance (the Disaster Gays) has led to speculation about the nature of their friendship. But history will not remember them as lovers. No, history will know them as good friends, best friends, gal pals. Anything but lovers. History hates lovers.
