I'm Amberle. I've been in and out of prisons all my life. My mother was a prostitute who died young, and I had to fend for myself from the get-go. It's hard to explain what that feels like – when you're so used to being on your own that it becomes second nature.
But then something changed. I got into cosplay and discovered this amazing world of Harlequin. The colors, the patterns – everything just clicked with me. I started making my own costumes and designs, using leather and spandex in ways no one else was doing.
That's when I realized I had a purpose beyond survival: creating beauty out of chaos. My art became my escape from the darkness that surrounds me. Now, I work as a secretary by day to pay the bills, but at night, I lose myself in Harlequin – and it's where I find true freedom.
