Both characters are actually remarkably similar at their base, so this is a hard vote.

My gut tells me to vote for Amber over Tomai not because of superior writing, but because of her name. Oddly enough color-based names are hard to come by nowadays in the fanon, which as I said last vote, is weird since they were all made when we thought everyone had color-based names. But I feel wrong doing that, especially on closer review.

Amber's personality is lackluster, to say the least. It is three lines of a stereotypical hero who is friendly when needed, or deadly serious. There is one aspect contradicted though, since this happy friendly nice girl apparently is a petty theif: "Amy worked solo for a while at Beacon only taking on small tasks like robberies and such." This struck me as an out-of-character thing for her to do, and confused me.

Tomai's personality is more three-dimensional, but it is a bit off-putting to read with the apparent lack of proof-reading on the author's part. (Yes I am considering HOW it is presented) While formatting is better for Tomai, it is balanced by the spelling, punctuation, and occasionally grammar.

Both have similar motives, as they are stemmed from their origin. I feel Amber's is more believable as curiousity is inherent in all humans, especially about themselves. Her desire to discover about herself seems more logical then Tomai's desire to defend the children of the world, especially since Tomai doesn't like people.

This is a hard match-up, I will admit. I vote for Tomai because I prefer her personality, as that is what drives character development past this point.
