[Background] Amber grew up in a small Christian town just outside London, Ontario, where conformity and traditional values were the norm. From an early age she felt like an outsider, even in her own family. At five, she began seeing spirits, starting with her late grandfather at his funeral, soon after that, her precognitive powers developed; they manifested as life-like dreams and flashes of the past or future, that she found difficult distinguishing from each other. As her interest in the macabre and supernatural grew, so too did the differences between her and her peers making her a target of bullies. Names like 'Witch,' 'Devil Spawn' and 'Weirdo,' followed her through the halls almost everyday. Despite this, Amber embraced her powers, using them to help lost spirits in her community get closure, many of whom she befriended along the way. Four years ago, Amber moved to Crestwood to escape the oppressiveness of her hometown and family, drawn to the city by its art scene, paranormal activity and affordable living.
