The Amberly BlogHi, I'm Calissa Rosabelle Amberly. Mouthful, right? I shorten it to Callie Rose. Sometimes just Callie. I'm a witch, if you want to call it that. I do know that magic runs through my blood, that I have something mysterious, something beautiful, that lingers in my fingertips. It's just, woah. I'm not, like
evil and
twisted or anything. So, yeah. Don't call me a witch.
The people of Moonlight Falls all thought I was just some childish little girl who like dressing up. I prefer to call it childlike.
I can see why they didn't like me though. I guess I was, and still am, a little bit grumpy.
But now, I channel my grumpiness into my art. I always was the artistic one in my family, but I never acted on it until...I'm getting ahead of myself.
But I guess I just zoned out and went to my music. My daddy called me a virtuoso.
The people of Moonlight Falls were wrong about me. I'm not a dreamer, a waster, like my mother. I have my ambitions, and I know I can reach them.
One of which, the major one in fact, is to be a master of the arts. Painting and playing the guitar.
So you want to know my story? Fine.
Let's start with my mother's mother's father's mother. She was a water nymph who fell in love with a magical duke who was married to a beautiful young woman who was, let's say, a control freak. When the water nymph, Mya, found out she was having the duke, Robert,'s child, the duchess Anna was kicked out and divorced. Suddenly homeless, Anna vowed revenge on Mya, who was to marry Robert. A lavish wedding was planned, with flowers and ribbons. The day came and went with no major problems. Mya was now a duchess, spoiled and pampered at every moment. Mya gave birth to a little boy named Rhys who had his father's magical powers. Robert and Mya grew old together very much in love but, try as they might, Rhys grew as an only child. Robert pulled some strings and Rhys married a princess. Mya and Robert died happily of old age. Rhys and his new wife often argued and didn't get along. However they did have one child, Marissa. Marissa had the same magic as Rhys. She was an arty rebel who eventually settled down with a hippy guy and had twin daughters named Alya and Irene. Alya is my mother. Alya learned nothing from her hard working parents and preferred to dream about being an actress, but spend any money she got on plastic surgery or beauty products. Eventually she lured a young man of the village to her web and made him work hard so she could have whatever she wanted. They had three children. The eldest, Adele Britney. The second, Justin David. The third...Calissa Rosabelle. We lived in a small house with tacky pink paint, courtesy of Mother. My sister Adele grew up to be just like Mother, and Daddy was at their beck and call. I don’t mean to appear vain, but I was his favourite child, and he certainly my favourite parent. My brother was bitten by a werewolf when he was a child, so he always stood out as well. Remember my mother’s twin, Irene? Well, she had moved away to Riverview when she got the chance. She was a natural cook with a friendly smile. She only visited our house once, where Mother screamed and kicked her out. But she must have taken a liking to me, because we emailed each other once or twice and I always got a small anonymous gift at every birthday. When I was a young adult, she sent away for me and I lived with her for three weeks. But then she got a message that her house was being taken away, that she was being tried for fraud. Found guilty. I was her defendant. Before she was taken to jail she handed me a check. When I got to the airport, for I thought I should go home, I realized something. It was just enough money for a plane ticket to Appaloosa Plains and a large lot. That brings us to now. I have barely any money, and no friends. What have I got myself into?

Callie Rose is definitely the most beautiful Sim I have ever created. If you're wondering, her roots and base hair colour, plus the original gold colour of the hair style, are the two colours I have used on her outfits.
This is mainly a secondary project, so I wouldn't expect anything more than an update every fortnight. However there will be an update or two today because it's Sunday and the setting I'm creating for Opal's Task is driving me nuts, so I need a break.
The rules for this legacy are based on Pinstar's version, with a few changes:
1. The current heir must be either witch, ghost, alien, imaginary friend or human. Everybody else in the household can be anything. If I want the spouse to be a fairy, say, then I must wait until all possible heirs for this generation are born.
2. The current heir is the one that is narrating the 'blog'. Heirship switches when the new heir is YA.
3. Any sim is fair game to move in.
4. Any life extending methods are fair game for anybody but the current heir.
5. Every generation must contribute something to the museum.
6. There must be 2 paintings of every heir in the museum. One for either Toddler, Child or Teen. The other for Young Adult, Adult or Elder. Obviously Callie will only need one.
I've just started using imgur, as in, I made an account yesterday, because of the site gallery closing down so please bear with me on the images.
That's all for now, please ask me if you want to clarify something.
