On the left is some hairstyle searches
Amber, like Sofia, is a very hard student. As a future queen, she's aware of her responsibility for the knowledge she acquires.
Amber manages her workload well and organizes her daily routine.
She likes to combine business with pleasure and apply organizational skills to her studies.
Amber strives to be on top in everything. Perhaps even too much.
For Amber, face is as important as knowledge and skills. To be a worthy queen, she must be perfect in everything, even in appearance.
Lately she has noticed that she can’t fit into dresses, she often sweats, and her hair becomes greasy.
This worries Amber, but she doesn’t give up and skillfully hides it all, and also finds information on how to fix such things (for example, a recipe for a magic potion that makes hair silky).
The fact is that this helps only temporarily, and sometimes it's completely pointless. And the flaws in appearance are getting worse and harder to hide.
Amber begins to think that the problem is with her and that she's simply no longer beautiful.
At some point it reached a critical point. During an etiquette lesson where she was supposed to faint, she actually fainted because she began to malnourish.
Sofia noticed that something was wrong with her sister, and they talked about it. Sofia believes that Amber is the most beautiful and kind princess among everyone she knows, and there is no better queen for Enchancia.
But Amber doesn't think that's enough. She's preparing to become the "face" of her kingdom. How will she show the world all the beauty of her homeland if she herself doesn't live up to it?
This question will be answered by the current "face" of Enchancia - Queen Miranda.
She will tell her daughter about the changes that every girl goes through, and will show Amber her hands, roughened by years of manual labor. Unlike natural maturation, their rudeness doesn't transform over time.
But does that make them ugly? Amber believes that her mother's hands are the most beautiful and perfect. And Miranda will hug her with them and say that Amber herself is also beautiful.
But what if the shortcomings never go away and some of them remain? Well, they will be flaws only as long as she considers them as such. Because Amber is actually the only one who sees them.
Roland will show his daughter his scars, which he received as a child due to too dangerous pranks.
Roland will also show porters of previous monarchs, where some of their external features are visible. They are all different, but they have one thing in common - they all took care of their health.
Roland thinks that Enchancia needs a healthy monarch who will reign as long as possible. And most importantly, the family needs a healthy and happy Amber, so it hurts them to see how she doesn't feel sorry for herself.
Amber's hairstyle in the original is a good reference to her status. Personally, because of such curls, I have a strong association with the aristocracy, so I wanted to preserve them.
However, I don't like the performance in the series at all (the one on the left), so I played with the shape of the hairstyle until I reached the final one.
I really like the execution of a similar hairstyle on the right, it’s a shame that the curls ended up looking like sausages -_-
Inspired by various art from vintage manga, I decided on a hairstyle. The structure of the hair is very similar to Aurora’s hair and, as planned, her strands also move easily and naturally.
