Nocturnal House Head Student
20 | Male | Unicorn
Biography
From a small seaside town called Runswick, Ambrose has always been one to not one to 'beat around the bush’. He has always stated the painfully obvious with little to no disregard and much to the disdain of the town, eventually leaving him ostracized. After the loss of his mother, he grew to have great disdain for his father, Mephisto Faustus, as time went on. One day after a troubling incident, Ambrose resigned himself to practicing his magic and coming to Starswirl's school for Gifted Unicorns in 1863. During this time, he came to view Professor Constelo as a better father figure than he had had previously and came to view the school as a second home. Shortly before the start of term in 1864, he stumbles upon Madame Mint after she had been attacked by an unknown attacker. After some time, he managed to acquire pattern of tea leaves within the teacup found at the scene.
The semester of 1864 later took its toll on the stallion. From heightened fear of a statue, the tournament to Ceruisam having his frolic about the school, He quickly found himself overwhelmed, though he tried to power through. The semester ended up leaving him struggling with anxiety, abandonment: stemming from Constelo's departure, a new-found fear of bees and deteriorated trust among his peers. Although he assisted in the finding and capture of Ceruisam, he found himself often second guessing his choices mentally and pondering had things gone differently. Had they avoided Mint's last fortune or only steadied themselves down its path was one of many questions to run through his head. Had he just payed attention more, could he have stopped Constelo from leaving. Certain that Virtue would still likely return, he ended up leaving semester with the thought: he would be alone for the coming semester.
Shortly before Christmas, He received word from Constelo. While his anger had burned out, this only solidified his resolve. Though the letter spoke nothing but reassurances and hope of understanding, Ambrose doubts the words he reads. He awaits the 1865 semester in tow with two cats. Stelo, a silver-grey coat and Virtu, with a white coat named after the two previous professors. He finds some small comfort that he isn't completely alone from the two felines acquired them from a previous potion professor. He hopes to finally and hopefully, make things right without too much lost and to destroy the crown once and for all.
