Aumber Profile

Aumber is a resilient and determined human born in the kingdom of Riyoumu, specifically in the harsh northern region of Arcecto, an industrial and poverty-stricken place. Life in Arcecto was tough from the start—she is one of four quadruplet sisters born to a Shade species father and a human mother who tragically died during childbirth. Raised solely by their father, who worked long, grueling hours in a factory to provide for his daughters, Aumber and her sisters—Yoko, Prinem, and Junaa—grew up relying heavily on each other for survival, developing an incredibly tight bond.

With their father always working to make ends meet, the sisters were largely left to fend for themselves. They learned early on how to make do with the little they had, but it wasn’t easy. Poverty shaped Aumber’s childhood, leaving its mark on her in various ways. While her father worked tirelessly, the girls had to figure out how to care for one another, and it was Aumber who found solace in food. Whether it was cooking meals with the limited ingredients they had or dreaming of grander feasts, food became her emotional escape from the hardships surrounding her. Her love of food grew so strong that, even as a child, she would spend hours experimenting in their small, rundown kitchen, developing the beginnings of a talent that would one day change her life.

But with the comfort food brought her, Aumber also began to gain weight, becoming the heaviest of the quadruplets. Her body size, coupled with the struggles of her upbringing, made her an easy target for others’ judgments. The resentment and jealousy she felt toward those with more privileged lives turned her into someone who developed a tough exterior. Aumber grew snarky and defensive, especially toward strangers, using her sharp tongue and biting sarcasm as a shield to protect herself from the sting of social judgments. She grew to dislike social situations, public speaking, and dealing with people in general, often keeping to herself or her sisters.

Though her relationship with food was complicated, Aumber’s passion for cooking never faded. After enduring the struggles of high school in Arcecto, she found a glimmer of hope in culinary school. Despite the odds stacked against her, Aumber excelled in her culinary studies, using her creativity and resourcefulness in the kitchen to her advantage. Her determination to rise above her circumstances propelled her forward, and she soon gained recognition for her skills as a chef. Upon graduating, she made the bold decision to move herself and her sisters out of the desolate industrial landscape of Arcecto and into Kusti, a neighboring region in the kingdom of Liseria. Unlike Arcecto, Kusti was wealthier, and it presented her with opportunities to finally create a better life for her family.

In Kusti, Aumber landed a job as a chef in a high-end restaurant, and for a time, she was the breadwinner for her household. Her culinary talent not only put food on the table for her sisters but also gave her a sense of pride and accomplishment that had long been absent in her life. Her restaurant work gained her respect and admiration from her peers, even if her rough edges and blunt attitude rubbed some people the wrong way. Despite her tendency to be rude to those she doesn’t trust, Aumber is fiercely loyal to her family, and she has always been driven by the desire to lift her sisters out of poverty.

Her sisters, each with their own strengths, eventually found success in their own ways, and as they began to thrive in their careers, Aumber’s role as the breadwinner faded. This shift wasn’t easy for her to accept, especially given her fiercely independent nature. Her pride made it difficult to admit she wasn’t the only one holding things together anymore, and this led to tension within the family—particularly with Yoko. Aumber and Yoko often clash, with their fights ranging from petty arguments to deeper feuds, largely over Yoko’s hygiene and rude behavior, which drives Aumber mad. The constant bickering and competitive nature between them has become a source of frustration, though deep down, Aumber cares for Yoko, just as she does for her other sisters.

While Aumber’s life in Kusti is more comfortable than it ever was in Arcecto, she still carries the emotional scars of her upbringing. Her distaste for public speaking, social events, and most people in general remains, and her snarky, sarcastic demeanor serves as her armor. Aumber’s dislike for chicken as a food is oddly specific, but it’s tied to a time in her childhood when her family had little else to eat, and she grew tired of it. Similarly, her aversion to showers comes from the limited access to clean water growing up, turning the simple act of bathing into something she often dreaded.

Despite her tough exterior, Aumber has a softer side that she shows to only a select few—her sisters and her beloved animals. She adores animals, often finding solace in their company when she feels too overwhelmed by the world around her. And while she hates many social situations, she is deeply passionate about her gaming, spending hours immersing herself in virtual worlds where she can forget about the stress of reality. When she’s not in the kitchen, she can often be found playing online games or caring for stray animals she finds on the streets of Kusti.

Aumber’s journey from the slums of Arcecto to a thriving chef in Kusti is a testament to her resilience and unbreakable will. Though her sharp tongue and sarcastic nature may put others off, those who get to know her understand that she is fiercely loyal, protective, and has a heart that runs deep for the people and things she cares about. She continues to build her life in Kusti, navigating the challenges of being a chef, a sister, and a woman determined to overcome her past and carve out a future on her own terms.
