History:

 

Amber Glass was born to a loving couple in the town of Calnais, Prance. Her time as a very young foal was filled to the brim with love and adoration from her parents. Certainly, she didn't grow into a carefree, adventurous, imaginative young foal over the course of a single night, nor on her own. Her parents were an exciting pair of well traveled adults --- her father a private detective, and her mother a budding young author. Every opportunity she had, she would pester them for stories about their adventures across Equestria. She wanted to know every detail, every mystery, every romance, every funny moment they had ever encountered. Such stories were the lullabies she would fall asleep to, and such stories were the triggers to opening her mind to new possibilities and experiences.

 

Of all the stories her parents would tell her, there was one that stood out. It was her favorite story --- her mother would tell it to her whenever she would ask, which must have been a thousand times since she learned to formulate full sentences. It was the story of a young detective in Canterlot, who was investigating the mysterious disappearance of a precious necklace. As the story went, a young mare had called upon a private investigator to help her find the necklace, which had gone missing in the middle of the Grand Galloping Gala. The private detective spent the whole evening searching the Gala, interviewing guests who would take the time to speak to him, and tracing the young mare's steps... Then, as the Gala was coming to a close, and all hope seemed to be lost for the young mare's necklace, the detective found a clue which led him all the way to where the necklace was in the garden.

 

Certainly, the story was simple. There was no criminal, no high speed chase through a market place, or even deception --- but as her mother had always put it, it was the story of Amber Glass, and without it, the little foal wouldn't be there.

 

By the time Amber was old enough to attend school, the little pony's mind was filled with imagination and curiosity. She wanted to know everything about anything. She had questions about everything around her. In fact, she had so many questions that her teacher had to establish a class rule limiting the number she could ask, lest they be there all day discussing the exact same topic. As she learned to read, she found books filled the gap of knowledge the adults in her life couldn't fill. She would spent countless hours reading --- but, most importantly, she would spend countless hours reading stories about detectives. Her upbringing had led her to a great fascination with the crime solvers and their lore. She loved a good mystery, and if there was one to be read, she would be reading it. Even further than that, if there was a mystery to be solved within the confines of her neighborhood, she would be solving it. No case was too small --- wherever there was a lost toy, or earring, or sock, she would be there, enthusiastic and ready to go.

 

In her pursuit of knowledge to learn, and mysteries to resolve, she would leave no stone unturned. Naturally, she often got herself into trouble, as she would often go where she shouldn't, or would interrogate others perhaps a little ... Too fiercely. Despite her brash nature, however, Amber Glass was friendly and well-meaning. She loved her home town, her school, and living in Calnais. There was nothing in the world that could possibly make her happier ... Aside from maybe discovering her cutie mark, the greatest mystery of them all for her. 

 

To this day, Amber Glass continues to live in Calnais, Prance, though she often travels with her family across Equestria for one reason or another. She is still a school-aged foal, and has yet to discover her cutie mark.

Character Summary:

 

Despite her delicate features, Amber is far from a delicate young foal. Excitable, adventurous, and perhaps a little too imaginative for her own good, it isn't uncommon for the young pegasus to engage in some mischief. She loves a good mystery. In fact, she loves mysteries so much, that she's inclined to seek them out, regardless of whether it means she'll get into trouble... Which, more often than not, she does get into.

Over the course of her young life, she has been entranced by stories of detectives. She views the world in a semi-noir fashion, where everything new and mysterious can and should be investigated --- and where it's difficult to always know who is a good pony or an evil, maniacal, cat-stroking super villain! While Amber does not harbor a paranoid distrust of others, her initial interactions with new individuals have more in common with soft-ball interrogations than casual conversation. That is to say: she asks a tremendous amount of questions, and isn't always the most subtle.

Although her initial front can seem off-putting to some, she's a caring and loyal child when push comes to shove. She would do anything for a friend, and were one to call on her, she would be there faster than fillies and colts promised free cupcakes. Or at least as quickly as her little wings could possibly carry her. While she is socially active, she does enjoy a good moment of quiet from time to time. Amber's past time is books. She loves books, she lives for books. If there is a new book to be found, she will drop everything to experience the knowledge contained within its pages. Especially if it's a new edition of her favorite detective series ever: Prancy Drew.
