* {{Adorkable}}: When her novel ''Serpent's Storm'' was released, Amber and PatrickRothfuss did a Q & A,. Before the panel, [[http://blog.patrickrothfuss.com/2011/04/in-the-spring-a-young-mans-fancy-lightly-turns-to-thoughts-of-amber-benson/ Rothfuss dared her to read a sex scene from the book out loud]]. And so she did. It took her over five minutes to read two pages, because she kept interrupting herself by giggling like a schoolgirl at any particularly salacious detail. See it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3Q7FziQb44 here]]. Also invoked when she said on Twitter that she was recording the audiobook version of the novel, and that if you listened closely you could hear her "blushing at the naughty bits."

* HollywoodPudgy: And damn proud of it. Surrounded by the much smaller other female cast members of ''Buffy'' made her stand out, but sitting right beside Creator/SarahMichelleGellar in ''The Body'' shows both that Amber is pretty much a "normal white girl" and that Sarah is very very tiny.
