Family members:
- Mother:: Anna Marie Havens, 34 years old. Although she was quite the catch in her youth, often very independent and free spirited, it has faded from her in present times. She is rather meek, quiet, and refuses to stand up to her husband, even with how abusive he is to the children. She’s not deaf or blind, she simply just doesn’t stand up for them in any way, choosing to watch rather than help.
Due to this, Amber has pretty much made up her mind that, even though she normally wouldn’t be so cold, her mother is no longer a mother- She’s basically disowning Anna, harboring a resentment deep within.

-Father:: Alexander Michael Havens, 36 years old. Amber never really dealt with her father while she was little, he was always at work or sleeping. She was pretty much ignored by her father for quite some time, though things quickly fell apart once her father lost his company… then the children were certainly being paid attention to-- In all of the wrong ways. Once Amber found out about Metric, the two kids were pretty much sent there right away.

-Older brother:: Kai Alexander Havens, 17 years old. Although Kai was a bit mean to her while little, they are now pretty much inseparable. She tends to trail him quite a bit, though he doesn’t seem to mind the slightest. She also knows that Kai’s a bit overprotective of her, but seems to brush it off, especially if she feels she’s making new friends. Kai has always been her rock during stormy times, and she has a feeling that he took most of her beatings…. But she doesn’t know for sure, and it hurts to even talk about it, really. The two can often be seen side by side-- Usually Kai is either photographing or drawing, while Amber’s either practicing on her guitar or painting.


Backstory
Anna Kofter was only sixteen years old when she met eighteen year old Alexander Michael Havens. Although she was crushing on him since they first met, it took about six months for them to become anything official. At first Alexander wanted to keep things hush hush, while Anna didn’t like it, though she went with it to keep the relationship alive. Anna was turned on by Alexander’s ‘tough’ personality, while Michael was attracted to Anna’s independence.
    Nearing the end of their first year together, they received shocking, somewhat unwelcome news-- Anna was pregnant. The relationship was tested at this point, as both came from families that firmly believed children needed to be had after marriage. Rather than marrying out of love, they married for tradition and to avoid causing waves within their families. Although Alexander was quite livid about the situation at hand, he slightly relaxed when they found out they were to have a boy…. An heir, in Alexander’s mind.
   Things settled, his father finally owning the company he worked so hard for, and his mother a well-known beautician. However, once their son (Kai Alexander Havens) was three, Anna was found to be pregnant once again. Arguments, screaming, yelling, and slamming doors were more common than not at this point…
However, it wasn’t until Kai was twelve and Amber was nine, that things plummeted south. Their father’s company crashed, and their mother soon became intimidated by his temper. The abuse started off somewhat small, but quickly escalated. Alexander turned to heavy drinking, and went to violence in a flash-- All reasons as to why Anna refused to get in his way, and stayed on the sidelines.
    Once Amber found out about Metric, they were shipped off instantly- This way, Alexander could pretend he never had them, and he would never have to see them again (or so he thinks at least). The siblings couldn’t be happier~
