Sex/Gender|| Anatomically Male but uses feminine pronouns
Relationship Status|| It’s complicated. She has this guy that she is on and off again with.
Appearance|| Amber certainly knows how to stand out in a crowd. Her makeup is always flawless and her style is on point. When flat on her feet she stands at 5’10” but she is always wearing high heels. She is a natural redhead and alternates between wigs depending on her mood.
Health Issues|| Not that it is necessarily a huge problem but Amber does smoke an occasional cigarette, usually when she sings. Other than that she takes care of her cody as best she can.
Personality|| Amber is one of those women who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to show off what she has. She will shamelessly flirt with whomever catches her fancy (provided Calvin isn’t around) and is generally a very loving person. However insult her or someone she cares about and the claws will come out. She has the full capacity to slay and her sass is one for the books.
Likes|| Cigarettes, Merlot, Singing her heart out, Zephora, Making people question their sexuality, silk, Egyptian cotton sheets, fishnet stockings, her boys
Dislikes|| When Calvin breaks up with her, being talked down to, when people look at her like she’s a disease, cooking and baking, stereotypes, when one of her heels breaks
Clothing Style||She wears clothing that is sure to show off her assets, and she always is sure to look drop dead gorgeous. More often than not she is the best-dressed person in a room.
Music Taste|| Being a lounge singer she listens to almost nothing but Easy Listening. Something about the smoothness of the melodies give each song a soulfulness that is both relaxing and melancholic.

Possessions||
- In order to truck around her family, Amber splurged last year and got a 2016 Mercedes GLE 63 AMG Coupe. The kids all seem to have claimed it as 'their' car and it is filled with sports gear and other various things her sons are crazy about.

- Amber prides herself that she has such an extensive selection of professional-grade makeup, high-end wigs, and most likely 40 pairs of shoes if not more.
Oliver Channing Finnick|| her first boyfriend. He taught her what it meant to truly love herself. She could never get enough of his love and they even spoke of their future quite often. She was certain that she was going to marry him one day and raise a family. His death devastated her and on the anniversary she will make a trip to visit his gravesite.
Calvin Leroy Michaels|| her on and off again boyfriend. He has a way of making her love and hate herself. The truth is, he probably does not treat her as best as he could but Amber can't see her life without him. The longest they went without each other was three months but then Calvin came crawling back.
Chelsea Collins|| Amber's BFF. Strangely enough, the two met at one of those awful PTA meetings Amber is practically expected to attend all the time. She doesn't even remember what it was that got them talking but Amber does know that things went well from the start. They connected on a level that Amber didn't even think was possible after her loss of Oliver. Chelsea is her confidant, her shoulder to cry on, and her pickmeup. And she offers the same for Chelsea. It is a win-win situation and Amber cherishes the connection she has.
Westley Coxx|| an almost hook-up. They'd bumped into each other around town and the flirtations were strong. It was around the time of one of her and Calvin's break-ups though so she decided to not go through with it, though she now regrets her decision. If she were to bump into the man again and he were interested, she might be down for a good ole romp in the sack with him.
All the SHS Teachers|| She knows all the teachers by name, and only because of the various PTA meetings she has had to endure. She likes to think she gets along with them but she is aware how strongly she comes across.
Boaz Williams heh.. If she were to divulge all the things she and this 'kid' did that would be shameful.. He made her feel beautiful when she was feeling particularly down and it is uplifting to know she still has game with some of the younger crowd. But they did have quite a good round.. Three times to be truthful.
The Rocheforts had always been a well-beloved family in their town. They were prestigious, well to do, and model citizens. Dr. Waverly Rochefort met his wife when she was competing in a beauty pageant at the age of 18. Camilla had suffered from heart palpitations during one of her interviews and Waverly was called to give her a once-over. They fell in love and within the year they were married.
Their first son was born not too long after. Regis was such a perfect little boy and for a couple of years he was enough. But then Camilla revealed she was pregnant again. Mickey Wilson Rochefort was born and what a happy baby he was. Regis adored his little brother and they quickly became close. They were as different as night and day but they were thick as thieves. Regis was always more controlled and reserved but Mickey was sassy and outgoing.
When he was old enough to understand what his mother used to do as a teenager Mickey found himself staring at her beauty pageant photos often and would even sneak into his mother's closet to try on some clothes. Camilla always laughed it off as her son's adoration for his mother. Waverly, however, was skeptical about the situation and grew suspicious.
Mickey's first attempt at makeup ended in disaster, at the age of ten. He wanted to do something different for school and unfortunately the lipstick and eye shadow was a horrifying sight. The other kids made fun of him that day and Waverly was outraged at his son's behavior. Mickey spent the rest of the day crying in his room, recovering from the brutal spanking at the hands of his father.
This became a regular thing for Mickey, trying to get better at makeup and sneaking some jewelry to school then his father punishing him at home. But Mickey's spirit was not broken. He developed his makeup skills and found that he even began to impress some girls with his use of contouring. Eventually Mickey was able to convince his father that he was just preparing himself for a life of theatre and that seemed to appease Waverly somewhat, but his father was still doubtful.
In high school Mickey went of a class trip to New York City and there is where he stumbled upon the art of drag. These 'men' were confident in themselves and were not afraid to show just how woman they could be. And people adored them! They were beautiful strong, independent women that didn't take shit from anyone. Mickey decided to aspire to be just like them.
By some chance of luck Mickey's high school's theatre club got the rights to perform Hairspray. Mickey auditioned for the role of Tracy's mom and got the part, but insisted to be called Amber Rocks on the posters and in the playbills. Lots of work went into creating Amber.
But finally she was ready to be revealed. When the curtain went up on opening night, no one could recognize the person in front of them. No longer were there looks of disgust or confusion at a boy wearing makeup and jewelry. Instead there were only looks of shock and admiration. Respect for Mickey's talents were finally obtainable and Amber made that possible.
At bows, it was decided that Mickey no longer existed, Amber was all that was left. And she was not ashamed of what she was. After the show her family looked confused, wondering where their son was. When she stepped out to tell them who she was, she was met with mixed reactions. Witnesses were shocked, Camilla seemed to have a blank look on her face, Regis looked utterly confused but intrigued, and Waverly.. Waverly was furious.
Amber was grabbed hard by her father as he escorted her out. When she tried to explain that this was who she was, that she was proud of herself, Waverly slapped her hard across the face. It was the first time anyone had seen Dr. Rochefort so angry. He screamed at her, gripping her arm tightly and shaking her. He demanded she be the proper boy she was born to be. When she refused, he slapped her again and exclaimed she was no longer allowed at home, was not allowed to even use Rochefort as her last name.
When Regis went to comfort her he was pulled away by Waverly and the family left Amber standing there, looking defeated. And that was when she heard it. That sweet voice that came from behind her. It was one of her fellow actors, standing there with a comforting smile and a bouquet of flowers for her. Oliver Finnick. Amber hadn't noticed him really before now. He extended an invitation for her to stay with him and his parents, since she had been kicked out. She graciously accepted.
Oliver's parents were surprisingly accepting of her and she felt as if perhaps she had found her new family. Regis kept in touch with her, but was forbidden to see her. But Oliver was a good substitute of sorts. He taught her that she didn't need anyone else's opinion, that her own was all that mattered. He even told her that if it counted for anything, he thought she was quite beautiful as a girl.
Amber found herself developing an affinity for Oliver. It was unlike anything she had felt before. She had difficulty imagining her life without him. He treated her like his own personal princess. They spoke often of leaving their town together after graduation and as they fell more in love with one another, Amber was certain she had discovered what the rest of her life was going to be like. Waking up next to him, in his arms, every morning was something she was not keen of giving up ever.
They moved to the west coast after graduation, settling down in the town of Salem. It was a cheaper option than living in San Francisco or LA, and the community was rather sweet. Oliver commuted to work and Amber found work singing in one of the local bars. They had found their place in the world, it seemed. When they were both 21 Amber got a text from Oliver telling her to meet him at the Tresamme restaurant for a date night.
Amber was sure to look at beautiful as she could. Something told her this date was going to be one to remember. She was a little late getting out of their apartment but eagerly made her way to the romantic restaurant. She never made it there. Instead she stumbled upon a scene that would never leave her memory. Oliver was laying in the middle of the street, flowers torn apart and blood covering his clothing.
She pushed past the police officers and paramedics, making her way to Oliver's side. He was alive.. Barely. He couldn't speak a word to her, and despite the pleadings of the paramedics he struggled to get something from his suit pocket. It was a ring box. No words could describe what it felt to have her heart ripped from her chest when he slipped the ring onto her finger with his last breath. The one good thing in her crappy life was gone.
Amber found it difficult to remain happy. Her one jazzy and upbeat songs were slow, melancholic. Some nights she couldn't finish her performances. She couldn't even stay in the same apartment, it reminded her too much of Oliver. When she turned 22 was when she decided to make somethign of her life. She applied to be a foster parent and was granted that request. Quincy Tipton was her first foster son.
Things between them were rough at first, since Quincy had come from an abusive home. But Amber showed him only love. It took what seemed like forever but they ended up on good terms and within a couple of years he was calling her 'Momma Rocks' affectioantely.
Shortly thereafter she met Calvin Michaels. Something about him just drew her to him. He was mysterious and seemed almost.. Words failed her how to describe him. Their relationship began after a few months of knowing each other, and it was quite turbulent. They were on and off again almost every month. Calvin had his issues and probably was not as loyal as she would like, but he treated Quincy well and when Alistair joined the family Calvin seemed more determined to stay. The longest they had been together was for seven months without a tiff.
But then everything they had pent up blew up in their faces and Calvin left yet once more. He was gone for three months but came back, begging for forgiveness. A pattern ensued of their love affairs. It seemed every month they were going through the same story.
That all aside, Amber is rather successful. She is able to afford all sorts of luxuries including designer clothes, two new cars, and a wonderful house. Her sons adore her and she loves them as well. Recently she and Quincy have been discussing the possibility of her adopting him. He seems to like the idea, and they both hope maybe Alistair would want to be adopted as well.
Just a few months ago Ewan joined their family. He is a skittish little boy, and doesn't seem to know how to process being in this household. Amber has noticed in recent weeks that he is opening up a but more, especially when Calvin is not around. Amber hopes that being a part of her family will be good for Ewan. She sure knows that becoming a mother was the best thing to ever happen to her. Now if only she could have a partner that wasn't quite so turbulent.
