Name: Amber Sakura Brown
Age: 23
Gender: female
Personality: Amber is kind and caring—she’s a very loving individual. She’s very nice, almost to a fault. In fact, it sometimes can be a fault! Her niceness has made it difficult to stand up to people who are rude to her, but as she figured herself out more those problems subsided.
She has a bit of an anger problem that’s set off by stress, which is normally set off by other people. She dislikes crowds and crowded stores as she’s always fearful that she’ll lose her debit card or cell phone or something when she leaves. She prefers spending time quietly at home with her cats whenever possible.
She doesn’t, however, mind it when people come to look at her cats. She charges reasonable prices for them and loves it when somebody praises her for the way she upkeeps the cat rooms and her own house.
She is introverted and shy and would prefer to stay home alone, maybe interacting with people with a computer screen between them, instead of meeting them face-to-face.
Appearance:
(A) &
(B)History: Amber grew up with a younger brother and sister who were twins, and both parents. Her father was hardly ever around, but while she tried to be nice to her mother, it didn’t really work. For some strange reason, Amber’s mother blamed her for killing her twin sister, who was born stillborn. Since she didn’t have much good parental influence in her life, she always tried to make friends with somebody so that she wouldn’t be lonely. Despite this lack of parental teachings, she gained close friendships with all of her best friends’ families, and she learned a lot more than her mother ever taught her! She didn’t ever want to have children because she’s worried that if she ever has a miscarriage or a stillborn baby she’ll blame it on her other children for a stupid reason.
She always managed to pull up amazing grades in school and got on the honour roll every year starting in the eighth grade. She got a scholarship to a good university, and by then she already had a page job at the library since she was fourteen. She already had a lot of money saved up, and her Dad, despite the warnings of her mother that she’d kill them all (her father never quite understood this, and was sympathetic to Amber because of her difficult home life), created a sort of trust fund for her and bought her an apartment off campus.
She bought her first house out on the coast at 20 with the help of her father. It was rather run-down, although it was certainly a very large and nice house! Her Dad helped her get it fixed up with the help of many construction companies, and she got them to fix up three of the sheds also on the property, understandably for her cat breeding business. She already had experience from helping out at a cattery when she was younger, so it got off to a swift start. She bought two purebred Somalis from a breeder for an admittedly cheap price, a male and a female, kittens at the time. The male was named Oscar, and the female Emma, after two characters on Corner Gas.
After Emma’s first litter, however, she realized that she would need another shed for female cats, as she’d overlooked the fact that maybe potential buyers wouldn’t want a queen or a kitten. She got that built and her business ran smoothly ever since.
After four years in university, she got a job with the Stars Rising Animal Studies group as an animal biologist.
Car: She has a
2008 Honda Civic MUGEN Si Sedan for fun driving, mostly. She normally drives it unless she has to transport a lot of animals or stuff back and forth. Then, she has a big silver pick-up truck.
Main pet: Her main pet is a calico female cat named Callie. Well, actually, her real name is Minda, but the cat responds to Callie. Callie is outgoing and spunky, and loves to play! She’s currently a year and a half old, and loves chasing after strings and small furry objects, such as toy mice. Callie follows her everywhere, and has no qualms with being on a harness and a leash, making it easy for Amber to take her places outside of her main home area.
Occupation: She’s an animal biologist; she works part time for Stars Rising Animal Studies. She mostly feeds the animals and studies their behaviours in the lab. However, she has animals at home, too! She breeds Somali cats and American shorthairs. She breeds a lot of calico, tortoiseshell, and black cats, because a lot of her queens are either calico, tortoiseshell or white, and her toms are black, white, or tuxedo. She writes books about cat breeding and genetics along with that.
Her breeding setup has many heated sheds which have many general amenities such as clean, running water, and, in the adult sheds, litter boxes which are basically toilets. Each shed also has a cleaning supplies closet.
There are two sheds for kittens to grow up in, one for males and one for females, two for nursing queens or just queens in general, and two for females which may or may not become queens, and two for males.
Description of House: She lives on 29 Palm Drive, on the East coast, in Melon Beach, Florida. She lives on Melon Bay. She lives in a medium-sized house by the beach. She has a large field for a backyard, but it’s mostly just rocks and sparse, tall grass. There’s a palm and pine tree border at either side of the yard, and she has many different small, heated shed-sized buildings for her cats. She has a few nurseries for her nursing queens, and then she keeps growing kittens in a few buildings, and toms and she-cats stay in separate buildings as well. If the cat is older, it is spayed, and she keeps it in her home or adopts it out. While Callie/Minda is her main pet, she also keeps many other cats inside the house! In her house she also has a room for hamsters, one for other rodents, and one for fish. She has a private beach on her property, and she has many cool neighbours, too!
Likes: Amber likes sushi, a lot. In fact, it's one of the best things in the world, to her! She loves eel and salmon sushi and hand rolls, and sometimes shrimp, too, although salmon and eel are her two #1 favourites! She loves pink, pink flowers, and pink clothes... oh, all right. Nearly all the clothes she owns are pink! She also loves any beautiful flowers in general, but roses are her absolute favourites; you just have to watch out for the thorns! She likes chickens and wishes she had a coop of them on her property, although that will have to wait a few years! She also loves cats, hamsters, fish, and has many aquariums, as she just loves setting them up and decorating them! She, in fact, loves all animals and fish, even though she only really wants to own a select few, like hamsters, cats, rats, chickens, and fish.
Dislikes: Amber dislikes salad because, really, who can eat just a plain bunch of leaves with some dressing maybe thrown on it and not get sick? She also dislikes bugs, and especially mosquitoes, as during the summer they just bite, bite, bite, away! She dislikes thorn bushes because they often tear at her clothes and leave cuts on her skin, and she likes trekking through bushes and crawling underneath them, and that's pretty much impossible with a load of thorns above your head, just waiting to cut you wide open if you do one little thing at all wrong! She dislikes crowds and talking in front of a lot of people, as she's sure that to most she makes a lame impression, and she hates manipulative and cruel people.
Fears: Amber fears spiders and other creepy crawly bugs. Her fear of the dark stems out of the time she woke up when she was a child and felt something crawling across her face. She opened her eyes, turned on the light, and let out an ear-splitting scream, for there was a gigantic spider crawling slowly across her face! She also fears being all alone and thunder-and-lightning storms. She doesn't like it when the lightning flashes across the sky, for it's been known to turn the sky all sorts of different colours, including blood red and purple and green, before. She dislikes horror movies, and she dislikes them even more if they have something including a thunderstorm or someone tries to get her to watch one during a storm. Actually, face it; she hates
all movies and will be kept awake for nights, shivering and afraid and worried that whatever was in the movie will come after her. She's often had to make excuses such as, "I didn't like it all that much," to cover up for the fact that she's really afraid. She also fears and hates dead things, and has the hardest time possible taking dead fish out of her tanks, or whatever. She also fears illnesses, as these might lead to death in anyone!
Other: What’s there to say….?

All the sheds look like
this, but there are some differences. For instance, these are the
male cat sheds, and these are the
female cat sheds. Inside they generally have
Fun Kitty Condos to sleep in.
In her house, where she keeps some of the elder cats and her own cats, these are

Main PetName: Callie
Age: one and a half years
Gender: female
Personality: Callie is outgoing and spunky, and she loves to play! She loves chasing after strings and small, furry objects, like toy mice. When she’s outside, she hunts! She also loves chasing flies and other small bugs around Amber’s backyard. She follows Amber everywhere, and has no qualms with being on a harness and a leash. She has a real, official name of Minda, although Callie kind of stuck because she's a calico cat.
Species: cat
Appearance: (Kitten) &
(Growing) &
(Adult) &
(Face)She is a calico she-cat with green eyes. Her entire underside is white, and her topside is basically mottled colours. Her tail is orange-and-black striped, and her face is also mottled orange and black. Her nose has a black spot on it, and right under her chin she has white.
Likes: Callie loves wet food, specifically beef and pork and chicken in gravy. She also likes real human food, and prefers this to any cat food, although her wet food comes at a close second in her favourite things! She likes chasing around toy mice when she's inside, but she much prefers chasing and stalking real mice outside! She loves sitting on the bird bath pedestal and waiting for an unsuspecting small creature to pass by, and then... POUNCE! She sometimes stealthily, with her superior tree-climbing skills, scales the pine trees at the edges of the yard to catch the unsuspecting stupid little birds and squirrels sometimes residing in their nests there. She enjoys going to the beach and playing in the sand, and one of her favourite pastimes is going close to the waves, following them just to the water line as they go out, and then quickly running or jumping back away from them just before they hit the land!
Dislikes: She dislikes torrential rain as she hates getting her entire pelt wet. Along with that, she hates getting caught by the waves on the beach while trying to leap away from them during her little game. She also both dislikes and fears - but more so dislikes, seeing how she can fight them off - it when the neighbourhood male cats decide to attack her when they realize that she's spayed and can't mate with them. She also hates any kind of fighting, and she despises it the most when loud motor vehicles pass by her home.
Fears: Callie fears getting wet, as it's very hard to clean her fur again, and once she got sick from getting locked outside in a rainstorm when Amber wasn't home; she went outside to do her business, but then the cat door got stuck somehow! She was stuck outside on the porch in the torrential rain until Amber got home. She also wholeheartedly fears small bugs that crawl onto her paws when she's outdoors, seeing as how they get stuck in between her toes and wriggle around... ew. She also fears loud noises. She also is terrified of losing Amber, and fears that she'll lose her in a large crowd. She's just a small cat, so she'll ride around on Amber's shoulder or just stay in the car if it's
really busy.
Personal Favourite Sleeping Space/Designated Sleeping Space: She sleeps at the foot of Amber’s bed most nights. However, she also enjoys taking up residence on the pink pillow on the living room couch during summer.
Colour of Harness/Leash for Walking Around: When she goes outside, she wears a light pink harness and leash, with a silver tag on the top of the harness stating her name, Amber’s phone number, and her microchip number. She doesn’t wear a collar at all.
Other: She always knows what's up with Amber no matter what time of day it is.
xXxMain Male Charrie
Name: Chris
Age: 23
Gender: male
Personality:
Chris, for the most part, is enthusiastic and positive around people. He loves opening himself up to others, and will start animated conversations with anyone, especially the people who bag his groceries, tally up his purchases, file his receipts, and other things, in stories. He loves talking to people, and he can start up a conversation out of just about anything. He has strong opinions, and sometimes offends people, but it's usually just considered as a minor setback to him, and shrugged off.
He is easily disappointed, however, and dislikes taking "no" for an answer. However, he hates offending people, so he often just rolls with the blows, so to speak. He's quite good at getting up again after a fall, since he understands the importance of getting right back up again after you fall down!
History:
Chris and Luke were born in Alaska. Their family moved down to Florida when Luke was 4 and Chris was still 3 - a welcome change for all of them - and lived in a small house at the outskirts of Daytona Beach, Florida. Growing up as young boys, yet ten months apart, Luke and Chris were always very curious and liked to explore things. Their mother started them on horseback riding lessons when they were 7, thinking it would get rid of their boundless energy. It did... but then it blossomed into something more. They didn't just like horses; they were horse crazy! It was almost ridiculous. Chris wanted to learn everything about them, but since he also loved rats (his mother let him keep some rats in his room, provided they never escaped), he would take them to the stable, too. Well, whoops! That didn't turn out too well! When he was 9, one of his favourite rats fell out of his pocket while he was riding and almost got trampled. It died from internal injuries due to the fall. After that, Chris was heartbroken, and decided not to take his rats to the stables anymore.
As the years went on, he got rather popular in school, and he had many friends. He was known as “rat boy” to quite a few of them, mostly because of his insane love of rats! Most people couldn’t really understand it, and they understood it even less when he began breeding rats!
He made sure to breed show quality rats, and before he turned 17, he was already showing at rat shows all across the state with his top quality rats! He won many awards, mainly because he could train his rats to do some extraordinary tricks.
He went to the University of Florida when he turned 18, and graduated at the age of 22 with a bachelor’s degree in the sciences. He is currently looking into getting his master’s degree in equine studies.
Car:
He has a bright green Mazda 3. His brother has a bright light blue Mazda 3 of the exact same model. They tend to share a car when the weather is bad; it depends on who feels like driving, because they’ll drive that brother’s car. They also each have their own motorcycles.
Main Pet:
A female rat named Topaz. She’s a small thing who likes to hide out in his pocket when the going gets rough. However, she has a lot of personality for a creature so small. Chris has a little rat bed on his nightstand table, just for her.
Occupation:
Chris is a police officer/detective. He works in a very specialized team with the Orlando Police Department, or the OPD. His job is a very risky one, but ultimately quite rewarding. He is good at getting hostile animals or abused pets or even ringfighter animals to calm down, as he just has a sort of, well, "special" quality about him.

(Some of them are a tad small, but the tinier ones are only for growing baby rats and their mothers. He’s planning to get a bunch of bigger cages someday when he has time, though!)
His room is large and spacious, and at one end, he has a comfy rainbow couch and a few gaming systems, along with a widescreen TV.

Likes:
He likes to spend long periods of time in his hot tub with a snack or something and a book. He also likes to read, and he loves hot chocolate! You will often find him curled up in a chair by a fireplace on a cold winter evening - it doesn't really get cold in Florida; but, all the same - reading and drinking hot chocolate. He enjoys looking through his rat room, and he sometimes lets his rats out to play, because he absolutely loves playing hide and go seek with them! Chris also enjoys sushi. He likes vanilla chip ice cream as well, although he doesn’t really let himself eat ice cream too often; he tends more towards popsicles, especially the purple kind. He likes both pink (cherry) and purple (grape) popsicles.
Dislikes:
He dislikes cheese. He especially hates poutine. He doesn't know why; he just does. Other than that, there's not much he really hates. He doesn't like it when you sit down at a restaurant and then you touch a piece of gum under the table; it always makes him feel, well... infected. He also dislikes Corvettes; to him, they are insanely ugly! He doesn’t really dislike much, as he tends to take a positive view on everything.
Fears:
He dislikes deep swimming pools; he could drown! He’s a decent swimmer, but that’s always been a fear of his. He also fears rip tides, so he never goes that far out in the water unless he’s with a friend… which is something you shouldn’t do, anyway. He also has a bit of a fear of stallions, as they can be uncontrollable, but every normal person has this fear, too, so it doesn’t really control his life. He’s a bit of a worrier, so he tends to wonder about the meaning of life, then he wonders how life could exist, and, well… he scares himself half to death. He’s had many sleepless nights due to this fear!
Other:
He loves Topaz more than anything else he’s ever loved in his entire life. Chris also has life threatening allergies to all peanuts and tree nuts. If he eats one, he could go into anaphylactic shock, and possibly die!
Main Pet
Name: Topaz
Age: three months
Gender: female
Personality:
Topaz is cute and cuddly, with an enthusiastic and curious personality.
Species: rat
Appearance:
(x) (x)
Topaz is a pale tan female rat with big black eyes; although in the light they appear a very dark brown colour. She has a long tail, and big ears. She has big paws, and small sharp claws.
Likes:
Topaz enjoys sunflower seeds and sometimes nuts, although since her owner is allergic to them she doesn’t often get to eat them. She also loves small, soft, and especially warm places, because then she can curl up in them and just sleep. She absolutely loves sleeping. She also likes crawling through tubes really fast, because Chris constantly changes them around, and she never knows exactly where they lead! Not to mention, she also loves fruit… and human food. Chris will give her human food, just so long as it’s okay for her to eat without getting sick!
Dislikes:
Topaz dislikes loud motor vehicles or cars that speed up with a very loud, “Vroooooom,” far preferring smaller cars like sedans and hatchbacks of the Mazda or Ford variety, although Nissan and Honda aren’t too bad, either. She especially hates cheese! She knows that most rats are just supposed to like cheese, in the eyes of humans, but she, personally, doesn’t see the goodness in it! All the rats she’s ever met say that, “Well, it’s full of yumminess!” but Topaz begs to differ. She disagrees with the general stereotype that all rats are dirty barn rats.
Fears:
Topaz fears people with big feet or who wear boots, as she’s always convinced that they’ll step on her at any moment! She also worries that she’ll lose Chris one day in a busy place and be left alone, despite all Chris’s reassurances that he would never do that. She also fears animals like cats and dogs, and especially other big animals, like hyenas, cheetahs, or wolves, (although she’s only ever seen the former two at zoos), because she’s worried that any creature bigger than she is will take the nearest opportunity to attack her and eat her!
Personal Favourite Sleeping Space/Designated Sleeping Space:
She sleeps in a special rat bed in Chris’s bedroom, right next to his bed, on his nightstand table.
Colour of Harness/Leash for Walking Around:
Whenever she goes outside, she has a small rat leash that she sometimes wears.
Other:
Topaz is very, very close to Chris.
