Here’s the first one of hopefully many:
Amber Sweet, the Bratty Addict Heiress…
Played by Paris Hilton
Did you know…Amber’s real name is Carmela Largo, but she changed it because she wanted a stage name?
...that in the original version Amber was named Heather and she was Luigi's daughter?
Age: 27
Motivation: Attaining physical perfection
Type of character: Static
Amber is a spoiled young woman who gets everything that she wants, from money for surgery to being given the chance to perform in the Genetic Opera, even though she can’t sing well. I won’t say that her voice is awful because it isn’t, it just isn't up to opera standards. In fact, I think that her voice is perfect for the character. It transmits a sour/sweet quality, whinny sometimes, raspy others; it shows Amber’s range of emotions very well. She actually reminds of a character in the story “Delicious” from the manga “Petshop of Horrors” (read it if you haven’t, I highly recommend it.)
As Terrance Zdunich said in an interview, Amber and Shilo are meant to be parallel characters, giving contrasts between: daughter figure/dark daughter figure, freedom/confinement, craving/having too much.
Amber is slutty, envious, manipulative, and vengeful; yet, she looked so cute when she went out of her dad's office skipping!
Opinion: I can’t believe that Paris was nominated for a Razzie for this role! Either the judges don’t get the character or they just have a personal vendetta against her! I don’t think that Amber is supposed to be a likeable character, but she has her momentsl; like her constant whining (especially the cute one in “Bravi!”,) or when she peeks from behind the sofa in that lovely dress in “Who Ordered Pizza?”
Best Songs: Zydrate Anatomy (nominated for an Oscar, what an oxymoron!), Happiness is not a Warm Scalpel
