Sure enough in season 5 when she starts making similar bad choices Sarah did at her age, Amber's hair is long and dark again like her mom's.

Sydney is incredibly spoiled and a sore loser who doesn't take kindly to change, and Victor masks his own shyness, fear, and hurt by putting on a cold front and lashing out sometimes.
