Welcome to the Amberverse, gorls! Buckle up, strap in, and strap on for a ALR-sized adventure through this narc's journey through YouTube! Through the ups and the downs, we will be cataloging the eras (slowly but surely) and highlighting any important events.
We begin our journey in Virginia, where a young 22-year-old ALR has moved in with her girlfriend Krystle and her family. ALR was motivated to begin filming her weight loss journey once she was fed up with failures. In the first month of content, not only does she grapple with learning the ropes of creating YouTube videos but she is also actively on a weight loss journey. Aside from the boring filler vlog content, there are some key nuggets needed to understand ALR lore: namely her childhood stories to which she dedicates whole videos to. We witness our first cycle here! Enjoy!

Edit: at the beginning, she really is pushing the narrative of how much she loves animals. This will be noted for the future...
