Character's Full Name: Amber Leanna Greystone
Character's Nickname: Amby, Lea
Age: 25
Description/History:Amber was born to Jenna and Paul Greystone, in Ontario Canada. She was their third child but the least favorite.
She was treated like an outcast, like a mistake. Growing up Amber always blamed herself, she thought she had done something to make her family hate her, but it wasnt until she was ten that she truly understood.
She was coming home from school when her family had been getting ready to go out, leaving her with a babysitter...again.
She walked into the house, prepared to say hello to her family and hug her mom and dad but walked in at a rather inconvenient time, her mother was in the middle of explaining to her dad that she had never truly wanted a third child. That it had all been a mistake, that she regretted having Amber.
Well that was really the last straw and shortly after that, Amber ran away from home. At first she lived in homeless shelters, getting money the only way she knew how, she used her musical gifts as a means of work, playing guitar and putting on little concerts in exchange for money. She never got much but what she did get allowed her to buy clothes when she needed it.
She stayed in school, of course and got excellent grades despite her current situation, she managed to maintain her perfect A+ grade level.
By the time she turned seventeen she had been skipped ahead a few grades and graduated early with the rest of the graduating class. She applied for Ohio State and to her surprise got in with a full scholarship. Things were looking up for her...though it didnt last too long. After two years of the college life, she dropped out of Ohio State, deciding college wasnt for her.
Instead she moved to a town called Lima, hoping for a fresh start.
She got a job as a the music teacher at Mckinley so she works closely with Mr.Schuester...though she might be the Music Teacher, she never truly shares her musical gifts, keeping that part of her life to herself.

It was a day like any other, I woke up the same as all the other days before. I got out of bed, brushed my teeth, fixed my hair and threw on the first thing I could get my hand on, not bothering to check if it was dirty or not. It wasn't like I actually had time to check...see, my alarm had broke the day before and I was running late for class, I threw on a pair of converse and raced out the door, completely forgetting to eat breakfast, oh well. I'd just grab an early lunch and everything will be honky dorey...honky dorey? did I seriously just say that? Okay so, im a little weird but can you blame me? Most my life has consisted of demons and ghosts, so forgive me if im a little awkward.
First day of college, I know im gonna be a total freak show, I'll be the girl with a knife and gun collecting under her bed. With any luck people will be too afraid of me to talk to me...or even acknowledge that I exist which would work perfectly fine for me. I never was much of a talker...my brother always said that the reason for me being so shy was because I was afraid to get too close to anyone, that I played off being shy and timid because I was afraid of being disliked or hated by others. That wasn't true, right? I mean, I talk...sometimes and I make friend...okay, no I dont but that doesnt make me afraid or scared or frightened or any of the above, it just makes me careful.
I'd much rather spend my life alone then make friends and have them leave like all the others before them. I have this thing about abandonment, a bit of an issue, nothing major...I just think that everyone I love and care about will leave me all alone and I'd be left crying, in a dark abandoned room someplace.
Great, now im rambling...I should learn to shut up, remind my self that this is just a thought, none of this was actually going to happen...I was so lost in my thoughts I hadn't realized that I was standing in front of my classroom door, okay Melanie, no problem...you can do this, just walk in there and act like you own the place. Yeah right, that would never happen...even as I stood there, looking in the room, I could feel eyes boring into me, feel the burn of the twenty or thirty people in the room as they stared me down...fresh meat, I thought and willed my feet to march forward, toward the first empty seat I could find. Thankfully the seat was in the far back of the room, I'd be out of sight...what was that saying? Outta sight, outta mind? Maybe if I stayed in the back no one would notice I was there...maybe, but I wasn't going to get my hoped up.
12:30pm, I reminded myself...I could leave at 12:30pm, that wasn't so far off, just an hour or so...I can survive an hour in a room full of strangers.
Class started, people had a laptop on their laps taking notes, I was the only one with a notebook. God, I felt outta place, it was ridiculous...thankfully time was going by relatively fast and as class went on I got into the lesson, I even raised my hand to answer some questions about the Theory Of Man. That seemed to be the topic, I wondered why until I remembered that I had signed up for a class based solely on religion and theory.
After the last question was asked, I raised my hand once more, answering quickly before the teacher announced that it was time to leave. YES! I exclaimed quietly to myself, happy that I had made it through my first class alive...the rest of the day went by fast, too fast. I expected something to go wrong, but everything was perfectly fine. I even made a friend during my theater class, Jasmin. We made plans to go see a movie, I suggested Legion but she wanted to see a romantic movie so I said we could see Dear John and then see Legion another time. She happily agreed and we said our farewells, making plans to meet up later near the coffee cart just off campus.
I walked lazily into my dorm room, now relieved that I didnt have a room mate. I threw my things onto my computer desk and then flopped exhaustively on my bed, flicked off the lights and settled in for a quick nap before I met Jasmin...I still had time, two hours to be exact...a nap would do me some good.
I closed my eyes and relaxed into my bed, pleasantly surprised that I had actually enjoyed my first day...but there was still another four years for things to go horribly wrong and all I could do was hope for the best...
