Amber

Amber (あかりAkari) is the main protagonist of Amber's Contest Story, the first story in the My Contest Story series.

Appearance
Amber is short, with tan skin and slightly freckles dotting around her nose and mouth. She has light green eyes and wine red hair, which she usually wears in different variations of a braid or ponytail, depending on whether or not she is in disguise.

While she is wearing casual clothes, Amber prefers warm clothing and clothing suited for warmer weather.

Personality
Amber is very outgoing. She is also very passionate when it comes to performing in contests, as it has been her dream to perform in contests since she was a little girl.

She also doesn't give up on her dreams easily, as she knows that becoming a Top Coordinator takes time, and that losses are inevitable.

However, she doesn't tend to think ahead, as seen when she was struggling with the basics of the behind-the-scenes contest prep that coordinators have to undergo, as well as during her first contest when she didn't have a backup strategy when her appeal didn't go over with the audience like she had expected it to.

History
In the first chapter of her story, Amber is shown to be very excited about getting her very first Pokemon, a Torchic, from a family friend, Ms. Brandy. When she makes it to Fallarbor Town, she is disappointed to see that the Contest Hall is closed for preparations for the upcoming Fire Festival. Regardless, she makes her way to the nearest Contest Hall, Mauvile, in order to participate in her debut contest there.

In the second chapter, she is lost in Mauville City, when she finds herself standing in front of the door to Madeline's penthouse. Outside of her door she also meets Lisia, who is willing to become her mentor when she hears that Amber has yet to debut. Lisia then introduces Amber to Madeline, and the two, who are both Top Coordinators, guide her through the basics of coordinating, including contest types, costume selection, routine creating, Pokeblocks, and registering for contests.

She then participates in the Mauville Contest, with her main routine being Arabian Phoenix, but loses as it goes out of control.
