Personaltiy:
Emily is painfully loyal, to the point that it may even hurt her sometimes. Once sheâs decided sheâs on your side, sheâs by your side to the bitter end. She would do anything for the one she loves. Emily is a charming young woman, it is very easy for her to make friends, as people just seem to like her despite having no real reason to. She likes to keep to herself, as large crowds make her a little nervous. Not to say that she doesnât enjoy a night out dancing with friends, because she does, but sheâs aware that many things could go wrong when sheâs in a crowd (did I mention she is a little over-cautious sometimes?). Emily is an extremely bright and caring young woman. She will almost always go out of her way to help anyone in need. This could be considered a weakness of hers, as she is often giving more than she should be. Because she is extremely caring, she gets herself hurt or into trouble. She is a âglass half fullâ kind of girl, and enjoys life-- and loves reading and dancing almost more than she loves chocolate covered strawberries.
Emily is terrible at lying, but is very good at keeping secrets. She believes that trust and honesty are the foundations of all stable relationships. She loves animals, particularly birds, because her mother used to call he âlittle birdâ. Robins and Blue Jays are her favorites. She secretly writes in a diary, religiously, every night. Sheâs a huge, huge scardie cat-- Ghost stories and midnight walks are most certainly not for Emily. I mean, the girl sleeps with all of her limbs tucked under the covers for fear of a demon grabbing them if one dangles off (she reads a little too much... At least, she used to.. now the fear holds a lot more weight; given the state of the world and all). Over-all she is a spunky soft spoken young woman who loves to let loose every now and again. Her mother was a prima ballerina and has pushed Emily to be one since Emily was able to walk. Because of this, Emily has developed a complex about being perfect. Emily struggles to maintain her 'perfect' appearance, because she genuinely wants to be the 'whole package' and honor her mother's memory (see history).
All of the above are traits that Emily grew up with and developed before the world went to hell. Afterwards, she developed an extreme trust issue with everyone and has become a bit of an introvert. When talking to the wrong person could get you killed- you learn to just not talk at all. As chaos fell around her, Emily grew quieter and quieter. Now she is much more soft spoken than she was before. A wall-flower, if you will. Perhaps if she can find a way to accept her situation and learn to relax a little she might learn to open up again. Maybe.

History:
Emily was born into a large port city in France. Her mother, Emilia De Rae, married an Englishman named Johnathan Parker when she was just twenty years old. They met at one of her ballet recitals in Paris. Love bloomed between them, and within the year they were married. John moved to France to live with her and they settled down on the coast and opened up a flower shop. For years they tried to become pregnant, but because of one reason or another Emilia was unable to become with child. After countless hospital visits the couple were almost ready to give up. Then, as with all good love stories, a miracle came to them; Emilia found out she was pregnant. Emily was born just two weeks before Christmas. She grew up as the apple of her parent's eye.
As soon as she was able to walk, her mother enrolled her into ballet. Dancing became her life's passion. Emily lived and breathed ballet, and whens he was not dancing she was helping her father in the flower shop. When Emily was fifteen her mother passed away of lung cancer, leaving only Emily and her father. Just a year later, the world fell apart. As things got worse, Emily and her father were forced to go on the run- like most people. They fled to Paris where there was an underground sanctuary built beneath the Notre Dame Cathedral.
Shortly after she turned 18 she was separated from her father during a demon raid. Their sanctuary had been found, and hundreds were killed, and Emily barely made it out alive. To survive, she hid in the catacombs- inside one of the stone coffins. After only a day she was extremely dehydrated and starving. Desperate, she knew she had to get out somehow. By sheer luck she managed to slip out of the cathedral unnoticed. She was running to a nearby building when she was grabbed by someone. She opened her mouth to scream, but no noise came out. She had not spoken in so long, she had nearly forgotten how to speak. Swallowing, she looked into the face of her savior. He explained to her that she would be safe, and to follow him. What he was saying was unbelievable, but she had nothing to lose and everything to gain. She agreed to do as he said. The rest is, as they say, history.
Other:
Emily wears a leather cord around her neck with a pewter ring on it that was her dads. It allows her to speak English; if it is pulled off of her, she will lose her ability to communicate in English and revert to only speaking French- as is her native tongue.
