Name: Emma

Nickname: Cleo Virginia Andrews (V.C. Andrews)

Age: 19

Personality: A clever young woman who usually thinks in a logical manner. She is completely reliable, and trustworthy, as she works hard to the best of her abilities. She values coreectness and precision. 'You can never judge a book by its cover,' is one of her favourite sayings and she follows it quite closely as she refuses to judge someone until she has actually attempted to get to know them first. Loyal to her beliefs and friends, Emma is more of a follower than a leader although she is unafraid to share her thoughts and opinions on any sort of matter. She has a great love of reading and books, hating that she had been forced to hide it for so long.

Past: As a young child she became quite the reader, secretly of course, and spent most of her time in her bedroom or in the woods with a book in her hands. Her mother, being a reader herself, had been the one to teach Emma. To keep her daughter safe she kept the secret from Emma's father and instead admonished him about the apparent hallucinations the male drinker often saw, the odd times when the child left a book out completely forgotten. At 16 years old, a peer of Emma's found out about her reading and threatened to reveal it to everyone. In an attempt to keep her daughter safe from this, Emma's mother sent her away to join the 'Readers' to help fight for books and the right to read.

Birthplace: Born in Vancouver, British Columbia

Books memorized: Flowers in the Attic, Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday [Most of one series]; Melody, Heart Song [The first two in another series]; Heaven, Dark Angel, Fallen Hearts, Gates of Paradise [Four out of five in it's own series]

How they've become part of the "Readers": Her mother, understanding her love of books, found a way to help Emma get to the 'Readers' safely.
