Amber Mikaelson had always lived in her twin sister's shadow, ignored and dismissed by her own family despite being an Octobird part vampire, part werewolf, part witch, part angel, and part demon far more powerful than Hope, yet constantly told she was a disappointment, a mistake who would never become anything. After spending her life feeling invisible and unwanted by the Mikaelsons, everything changed on a school trip to the Outer Banks. That's where she met JJ, Pope, Kiara, and John B the group of friends who would become the first people to ever truly see her. JJ was the one who stole her heart, the reckless, loyal boy who refused to let anyone treat her like she didn't matter. John B quickly became one of her closest friends, someone she trusted like a brother, always reminding her she deserved more than the life she'd been given. Together, the Pogues made Amber feel something she had never felt before loved, chosen, and safe. Instead of calling her "the mistake," they called her "our girl." They visited her in New Orleans whenever they could, proving again and again that she was part of their family now. Being with them made Amber start dreaming about a different future one where she could leave New Orleans behind and move to the Outer Banks to live her own life with her best friends and the boy she loved. But her family thinks the idea is ridiculous. The Mikaelsons are convinced JJ will only break her heart and that her friends will eventually leave her like everyone else has. They see the Pogues as reckless troublemakers, not the people who saved Amber from feeling completely alone. Still, deep down Amber knows the truth JJ and her best friends would never abandon her. For now she remains in New Orleans with the family who never truly believed in her, while dreaming about the freedom waiting for her in the Outer Banks... with the people who finally do.
