No birthday in canon. Her personality says Cancer.

We ran Amélie through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets her most often. It reads her as water first: shy, protective and quietly romantic.

NEBO's take

Cancer SunRead from her personality

Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer cares in secret. She returns a box of childhood treasures to a stranger and watches him from a phone booth.
Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus
Taurus Moon loves small pleasures: cracking crème brûlée with a spoon, skipping stones, sinking her hand into a sack of grain.
Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeLibra
No birth time in canon. First impression: a big-eyed waitress in a Montmartre café who sees everything and says very little.
Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Mercury plans with feeling. She works out what each person needs and makes it happen without leaving her name.
Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus
Taurus Venus likes real things. Her love for Nino starts with his photo album and a trail she lays across Paris.
Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Mars acts through other people. She sends her father's garden gnome around the world so he finally dares to travel.

What canon does give: a lonely girl with a huge imagination. Cancer answers by looking after everyone else's heart first.
