A scientist, are we? To me, you'll always be a little worm!
Madame Amberley talking to Cortex, Crash Twinsanity

Madame Amberley is a boss who appears in Crash Twinsanity. She is the headmistress of the Academy of Evil.

History

Prior to Crash Twinsanity

Madame Amberley is the head mistress of the Academy of Evil. Neo Cortex, N. Brio, and N. Gin had attended the school as children.

She is shown to be emotionally abusive, having traumatized Cortex as a child.

Crash Twinsanity

As Cortex and Crash go to bring Nina Cortex along with them to fix the Psychetron, Cortex unexpectedly reunites with Madame Amberley and must defeat her in order to escape the Academy. Before the battle, Amberley berates and mocks Cortex and his ambitions, with Cortex attempting to retort while cowering. During their battle, she will mock Cortex if he fails to deal damage to her. The fight ends with her last remaining suspension rope snapping and leaving Amberley to fall down with a loud scream.

Crash: Mind Over Mutant

Amberley and her Academy are briefly mentioned by Nina in Mind Over Mutant in the cutscene "Forbidden Love".

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

Madame Amberley has a cameo on the track Nina's Nightmare. She can be seen in portraits on the walls inside the mansion.

Characteristics

Personality

Madame Amberley is a domineering, evil woman, who controls her academy with an iron fist. She has little regard for the emotional well-being of her students, being cruel and abusive to them. She shares a similar sense of egocentrism as Cortex, with various rugs and portraits of herself being plastered throughout the Academy.

Physical Appearance

Madame Amberley is very large in both weight and height, towering over Cortex and being unable to walk, needing ropes to suspend her in the air. She has dark brown hair pulled back into a tight bun, black eyes, long thin eyebrows in high arches, and pale skin. She wears makeup, with light blue eyeshadow and red lipstick. She wears a monocle on her left eye and has a large red A on her forehead, similarly to Cortex's N or Nina's n. She wears a short sleeved black dress and black elbow-length gloves. Her legs seem to be cybernetic. She wears a pearl necklace with a purple jewel pendant at the front, and pearl earrings. She has an odd piece of machinery attached to her back, as she screams in pain and takes damage when it is shot.

Relationships

Neo Cortex

During his time at the academy, Amberley was downright abusive towards Cortex, doing nothing about his implied bullying and even joining in on it, bestowing the nickname "Crybaby Cortex" onto him. During her boss fight Cortex is clearly terrified of her, in fact she is one of only two individuals he fears with the other being Uka Uka. Cortex takes revenge on her as an adult during their battle in Twinsanity, which seemingly results in her death, a fact that Cortex shows no remorse about.

Nina Cortex

Despite being shown as an abuser, Amberley is held in high regards by Nina, as she reminisces about being one of Amberley's best students in Mind Over Mutant before being removed from the Academy by Cortex.

-Madame Amberly is the head mistress of the Academy of Evil. [[Cortex]], [[Brio]], and [[N. Gin]] attended the school long before being known for who they are today.
+===''[[Crash Twinsanity]]''===
-It is shown that she was emotionally abusive to Cortex as a child in the dialogue before her boss fight. She insults him and is dissmissive of his ambitions, and Cortex is clearly scared of her, in fact she is one of only two individuals he fears with the other being [[Uka Uka]]. Towards the end of her theme, which plays during this boss fight, there are sounds that sound like children whining, further pushing this and also implying she could have abused other children in the school as well as Cortex.
+As Cortex and Crash go to bring [[Nina Cortex]] along with them to fix the [[Psychetron]], Cortex unexpectedly reunites with Madame Amberley and must defeat her in order to escape the Academy. Before the battle, Amberley berates and mocks Cortex and his ambitions, with Cortex attempting to retort while cowering. During their battle, she will mock Cortex if he fails to deal damage to her.
