Personality
+ Brave
+ Technically Brilliant
+ Caring
- Emotional crybaby
- Scardy-cat
- Too Considerate 

Emily would be labeled as brave if only because she is scared of almost everything and still functions around those fears. The demons scare her less than the idea she might fail at her job in DAMMED.  Emily's work is some of the most thorough and precise among the rookies, which is good considering she takes criticism of her work very hard. She has a hard time not crying when she is sad, angry, in pain, or being yelled at. Emily's not particularly bothered by her habit to cry but she hates that it bothers other people. Her tendency to consider others before herself leaves Emily prone to neglecting her own needs in favor of helping others. She rarely asks for help out of worry she might inconvenience someone. She sometimes runs into problems when she assumes everyone is as smart as she it and begins to ramble about computer code operations and calculus functions. Please don't lie to her, she'll believe every word out of your mouth. 

History

Born the third child of six in Finland, Emily saw a lot of tragedy before the end of the Great War. The first of Emily's childhood was peaceful enough, the war seemed like a far away thing. Though it was not intentional on her parents part, Emily's early life was always about what her youngest siblings needed or what events her elder brothers were participating in. Emily became the pillar of calm in a sea of quiet family dramas and she did not mind. She found a quiet and wonderful pleasure in helping her family. A word of appreciation here or a hug there was all the payment she ever really needed. She was there to help.
The war hit Emily's town when she was eleven. She saw a lot of bad things that year. By the end of it her mother and youngest sister were dead and she had lost her right eye. When the war ended two years later her family tried to pick up the broken pieces. They ended up living in a Russian refugee center for a long time while they saved up enough to start paying for an apartment. Emily learned to hate ignorance with a passion in the following years. Demons had done a lot of horrible things but the things she'd seen humans do....Hatred and fear weren't the answer. As soon as she graduated Emily got a job helping with relief efforts to the areas still recovering from the war. Her computer savvy served her well in helping restore many lost medical databases. She had always tried her best to teach tolerance and acceptance where she went, but she was a small voice. She'd known about DAMMED, everyone knew about DAMMED, but she'd never thought herself strong enough to join. When she saw a DAMMED agent save a demon's life from an angry crowd first hand, Emily decided her excuses weren't good enough any more. She signed up in the hopes she could use her donate her intelligence to a good cause and find new ways to breed acceptance and understanding.

She Wants To Join|

Because it's the right thing to do, and she wants to make a difference. She doesn't want to look at a world of hate and hurt and know she's not doing more to stop it. She's fine if she doesn't get powers or eternal youth, just as long as she can help. 

Other
- She always carries hard candies in case someone needs sugar 
- She is not actually shy, and will reach out to anyone she thinks needs help
- She rarely defends herself from verbal attacks
- Her prosthetic eye allows her to see but she keeps that side of her face hidden because she's embarrassed by her scars.
- She only got her prosthetic eye two years ago and she's still very very giddy about her re-found depth perception 
- Emily really REALLY doesn't like the spotlight. She would rather help from the background and it's fine if her name isn't on the rolling credits
- Emily's height and diligence gives her good fighting form, but she rarely wins sparring matches because she pulls too many of her hits.
- Her father is deeply against her joining as he still holds a strong grudge towards demons
