Name: Amba, derived from the Javanese word "ambu," meaning to savor. This name really relates to her because it is like she is savoring her childhood, with her forever-young syndrome. She also loves to savor the sweet things in life, to make them last.
Gender: Female, she could be nothing else. The mere suggestion of her being a male is enough to make her recoil in disgust. She has never and will never like boys as more than friends, and even that is pushing it a little. (cooties are still in her mindset)
Age: Amba is twelve years old, still in stages of learning of her forever-young syndrome, but old enough to understand it and accept it as a part of who she is.
Personality: A sweet candy outside is only so thick...
Not that she is a bad bean or is not a good kid, she is. But she isn't all that she seems. She has her dark side, just like everyone else. Her young appearance can often make people think that she is the most innocent little angel, but she has learned that she can use that to her advantage, to trick others... But let's not get into that quite yet.
Defining personality traits;
Sweet (when she wants to be)
Like the sweet caramel that she loves so much, Amba is often very kind and caring. She loves to give advice and help others in things that she areas that she exceeds in. She is also very caring to the ones she is close to. She believes that friends and family are everything.
Tricky
Like a fox, Amba can often get what she wants by being sly or clever enough to trick someone into it. They are fooled by her young looks, they don't know what she is capable of.
Overachiever
Through life, Amba had always been underestimated and looked down upon, Amba has been filled with a thirst to prove herself worthy. She will focus on her grades and always try something new to try to impress someone.
Intelligent
She is truly wise beyond her years, even though she seems to young. It often surprises others how much knowledge is stored in her head.
Favorite snack: If there is one thing that Amba loves more than anything else in the world, it is caramel. Caramel apples, caramel cookies, caramel ice cream; the list goes on and on. She will devour anything, as long as it has caramel in it. So it makes sense that her favorite snack is caramel corn.
Amba remembers going to her favorite place in the world, the fair that was held every year in the park, and getting her special treat of caramel corn. That was the only time of the year she would get it, no matter how much she begged her parents to get it other times. It was always better than what she expected; the sweet, savory taste melting on her tongue and ending with a satisfying crunch. She would always savor it, eating once piece at a time. Being the small child she was, if someone like her parents or friends tried to take some caramel corn, she would hold it tight to her chest and give them huge puppy eyes (that are extremely effective with her shimmering golden eyes) and make them feel guilty for what they had tried to do, separate this young girl from her love. When she finished the bag, she would take that one last piece and eat it, tiny bite by tiny bite. Somehow, she would make that one little kernel last at least ten minutes.
Years of this passed by, years of only getting her treat once a year. But when she got to be nine, pre-teen rebellious attitude started to kick in. She looked up a recipe to her caramel corn online and printed it out. When her parents left and she was home alone, Amba would try to make the treat. But the thing is, she is not the best cook. If anything, she is the world's worst cook. She tried to make the caramel corn at least fifteen times, never succeeding. One time, her mom walked in on her. She got a little mad, but then pitied the girl. She saw how much Amba loved the snack and helped her make it.
She still only gets it on special occasions, but that is better than once a year.
