Special equipment: a small pink quartz crystal that she wears as a charm on a necklace.

The crystal was delivered to her house anonymously one day, and she hasn't yet figured out who sent it.

Other familial tidbits: Has two older brothers, Thomas and Marcus, who have moved away from home; and a younger brother and sister (Benita and Julio) who are twins, and are about 12 years old. Julia wants Amber to marry a nice Mexican boy and settle down, and is constantly trying to get her, and any ECC member within reach, to EAT. Mrs. Ramirez is one of those "show love by eating" mothers, and some of it has rubbed off on Amber.
Likes: spicy food, dancing, writing
Dislikes: being lied to
Clothing choices: dressy casual, very traditional businesslike outfits if she's working. She has a long tan trenchcoat that she really likes because she thinks it shows off her reporter image. However, if the girls ever go out partying, she has a closet full of clubbing clothes she'd love to show off.
Accessories: the previously-mentioned crystal, which is hung on a silver chain. She never takes it off. Also, she is never without a notebook and pen or pencil for writing things down. Commonly, the pen is stuck behind her ear.
