Where to begin? There's a small heart tattoo behind her left ear, another tattoo of an angel on her right thigh, on her right arm she has a sleeve that has too many tattoos to count, on her left she has a half sleeve of a dragon. All of her tattoos are done in black and white, there is no color. She has a scar on one of her eyebrows where a piercing use to be and both sides of her nose are pierced.
Description:
There are many things about Emma's appearance that one would consider "alternative." For one thing, part of her head is shaved on the side and her hair is a very pale purple and reaches the middle of her back - though don't expect it to stay that way for long. She's constantly changing her hair, whether it with extensions, hair color, or haircuts, she very rarely keeps her hair the same way for more than a month or two. In the last year she's gone from black, to teal, to platinum, to pale pink, to half blue half bright pink...and really, there's no telling what she'll change it to next.
With tattoos, it's almost like she's getting a new one every week these days. Most recently she's been working on a huge back piece of a phoenix. It's safe to say she's one of the most heavily tattooed people at her school (though a couple people in her group may have her beat..for now) and she's gotten her fair share of odd looks from fellow students. She's also possesses quite a few piercings: her upper navel, tragus, tongue web, tongue, madonna, multiple piercings on her ears, and two microdermal anchors on both of her hips.
As far as her face goes, she's not unattractive. In fact, she has pretty delicate features like a small nose, a light sprinkling of freckles, blue eyes. You could describe her, almost, as 'elf like.' If it wasn't for her obvious addiction to the needle and hair dye, she'd probably look like your typical blue eyed blonde, girl next door, who looks a little younger than she actually is (which isn't helped by her very short stature and lack of any real curves, unless you count the slight curvature around her bust area.).
Preferred Clothing:
Not since middle school has Emma worn a color other than black and leather is a feature in almost every outfit she wears, be it shorts, vest, jacket, or pants. She's a fan of sheer shirts and will often wear a decorative bandeau bra underneath, or just a regular black bra. She'll never leave the house without a pair of tall "stripper" heels or boots. Her black purse, covered in pyramid studs with a leather fringe, comes with her wherever she goes.

She picks up on other people's emotions really well, almost to the point where it could be considered a talent. She has an ear for listening and does her best not to judge others for their problems or choices. She's also a little bit of a party girl. A little bit meaning she can go to a party on a Sunday night and come to school still a little drunk and giggly with last nights clothes and make up. She's far too trusting for her own good and when she's hurt she can hold a grudge indefinitely.

Personal History:
At twenty two Laurie McKenna and Charles Laurence had an unexpected, happy surprise in the form of a pregnancy. They had enough money to support themselves and they were all around good people. When they had their daughter, Emma, they spared no expense at spoiling her with everything she could possibly imagine and loved her to death. Eventually they would go on to have two other children, one girl and one boy. For years all was fine and good, until Clarissa started showing some signs of being...crazy, disturbed, psychotic, however you want to phrase it. At first, it was little things, they'd start finding dead animals in her bedroom and she would be in the corner muttering unintelligibly to herself. Things would get progressively worse, but Laurie and Charles refused to acknowledge what was wrong with their younger daughter, even when she started to become violent with other people. Emma knew something had to be done, but she had no clue what. If she told someone at school, her parents would never forgive her.
Then, one day, everything in her life had gone from hanging by a thread, to completely crumbling around her. She had just run out to do some grocery shopping for her parents on a day with Clarissa was being particularly...fussy. She came back home to a house full of blood and her family's mutilated bodies spread throughout the house...all except for Clarissa, who stood in the corner of her bedroom with a knife in her hand, muttering to herself once again. The fourteen year old was covered in blood, her eyes wild, looking directly at Emma but not really seeing her. It only took Emma a seconds to get her ass out of the house and call 911 in her shocked state. When she left the house Clarissa had begun to stab herself repeatedly in the stomach, and was dead before the police arrived.
Emma was eventually sent to live with her aunt, traumatized by everything that had happened. It took her months before she finally returned to normal and her aunt was very patient, doing everything in her power to make Emma comfortable and happy - going so far as to let her work at the tattoo shop she owned. Emma never speaks about that night, though she's sure everyone knows: it was all over the news after all.
