She gives everyone a fair chance and she avoids having enemies, and arguments with people; she much rather prefer being on good terms and being friends than being upset/arguing about something...although it can't always be avoided. She can be rather sensitive, and always tries to put other people before herself; she's very self-less and would do anything she could to make a person smile, or make them feel better. Her compassion and gentleness, have always been important as people know that they can rely on her and she can rely on others in return. Emily is also rather smart and take pride and joy in most of her lessons, learning and school work/extra things. But just like any person, she is flawed and will make mistakes; if she can, she'll fix it and learn from it afterwards. There's not much that she doesn't enjoy; and if she does, it tends to show as she lacks behind and doesn't show much enthusiasm for it e.g. Apparition. Which doesn't always give her a good record in that subject. Unfortunately, Emily's family is known to be Stubborn and that trait is one that Emily posses at times. This only shows, if and when she's in a confrontation, even though she tries to avoid those; she tries to stand up for what she believes is right/should be right/ what she and other deserves. She won't always admit that there might be another solution or answer. It's rare to see her angry or annoyed; but when she gets in a moody strop, she will become defensive and does not like to hear otherwise. That tends to push her buttons a bit more. In the moment, Emily won't accept another answer/solution, once she calms down only will she then realize her mistake and see that not everything always goes her way.

Emily is the youngest daughter of Clark (43) and Mikeala Geralds (39), younger sister to Phillip (21) and Clarissa (19). Whilst her mother is a muggle, her father was a pure-blood wizard that graduated from Hogwarts, whilst her older siblings went to the Salem Institute, being housed in Warren Household, unlike Emily who is housed in Tituba. The Current Geralds family, is the fifth generation of Witches and Wizards; most of their predecessors coming from the houses of Tituba and Warren; with the occasional family member coming from Hogwarts (only on rare occasion has that happened). Her early-child-hood has always been a happy one. She remembers going to trips and foreign places with her family, as her father works for the Ministry of Magic and her mother works for a Newspaper Company. She loves her family and is close to almost every one of her relatives; excluding her aunt Geraldina who comes from her mother's side. Her aunt had never really showed Emily any compassion, love and positive feelings whilst growing up and is overly strict and terrifying person in general. The few and far in between encounters with her aunt, had scared Emily so she does the best to avoid seeing her. Emily knew about her heritage/family's magic since she was a little girl, along with her siblings. When she was 10 years old, she got her acceptance letter to the Salem Witches Institute. It was a rather proud and exiting moment as she was following in her family's footsteps. It didn't take long for Emily to settle in at the Tituba house and Institute, she still tries to discover the secrets and wonders off the school. She thinks of the Institute as her second home, and has enjoyed her time there and making new friends along the way. On her 14th birthday, she received her dog Piper. Those two are rather inseparable, she adores her dog and wouldn't want anything bad to happen to Piper. When Emily is feeling low, Piper cheers her up instantly. Luckily enough, with Piper being a small dog, she takes her pretty much anywhere with her. Over the years at the Institute, Emily has developed some new interests and keeping in tone with her old one's as she joined school clubs. She is a fan of Quidditch, whilst she doesn't play the sport itself, she is a supporter and watches every game that the school hosts in the playing field, as she supports her house and friends who play.

She seems like the quite type, her past is clearly not easy. It takes a while to get to know her, but I can see she's a loyal and good person deep inside. We sometimes sit together in class and share Magical Creatures club together. She's one of the people, that I know I can rely on if I ever need help, a friend. Her pets are also cute, even if they are rats." Unlike Some, Emily doesn't turn away from Aella due to her awkwardness and shyness. Emily gave her a chance and the two girls get along; They may not spend a great deal amount of time together, like Emily does with her other friends...but they are on friendly terms, and do spend some time together. Emily wouldn't shut her out and is happy to converse with her anytime. [/color] [img]http://fontmeme.com/embed.php?text=Ariadne%20Tune&name=Cursif.ttf&size=60&style_color=F0A330[/img] [Color=Pink]"Ari, is another quite and shy person. It took us a while to actually get chatting, as we we only share a few classes and Astronomy Club. She's an interesting person; she has some-what of a bite, but she's sweet. She's also a rather good artist, her paintings are vibrant and full of like; it almost looks like a photo." Emily and Ariande are classroom/study/club buddies. Although they do sometimes spend time outside of classes together. Even with the similar personalities, and Emily's distaste of sarcasm...the girls haven't clashed yet. They're on the road to becoming better friends. [/color] [img]http://i.imgur.com/c9XrfLn.png[/img] [Color=IndianRed] "One of my closest friends, and choir buddy along with Echo. She looks like a model, and certainly could have a name like one. She's a great friend and talented witch/person. I love listening to her and band...there's just something unique and diva-esk about her voice. She tried teaching me how to play a guitar once...didn't go so well, but it was rather fun experience." Emily and Cassandre have known each other for 6 years, ever since Emily first came to the Academy.They became good friends, quickly on and have stayed close....Emily, Cassandre and Echo are known as the Choir Trio. They have never argued and Emily values Cassandre's friendship and on occasional, tips and help to improve her singing. Cassandre is a great vocal coach...at least according to Em. The two are like sisters on occasions-and always have been. Her Dog Piper, tends to faun over Cass' cat Agatha...the two animals are like Em and Cass-best-friends for life. [/color] [img]http://fontmeme.com/embed.php?text=Julie%20Rosewater&name=WildCrazy.ttf&size=50&style_color=C79191[/img] [Color=Pink] "She's rather eccentric to say the least...very bubbly and smily. At times, you'd thin she's bit hyper. But she's a nice girl. She has a rather adorable...sleepy dog." Being in the same house, Emily and Julie have met and hanged out many a times. The two seem to get on rather well. Emily does not fear her happy-go-lucky nature and the fact that Julie is more hyper than most. There's just something about the other girl, that makes her smile and cheers Emily up, if she's feeling down. The two are on friendly terms, some would consider them friends. Being in Tituba; Emily always supports the Tituba team which includes Julie.[/color] [img]http://fontmeme.com/embed.php?text=Amelia%20Averyonna&name=Redressed.ttf&size=100&style_color=7F7F8F[/img] [color=Gray] "You've met Amelia right? I mean...who hasn't? That little girl is a bundle off adorable joy and friendship. Amelia seriously is one of the most sweetest and adorable first years, most people here at Salem know. I always try and make time for her, even if she's new and we don't know each other much, she is a lovely girl. She could make anyone's day better with just a smile. I have yet to see her artwork though, I've heard she's talented." Emily may not have known Amelia for a long time, but she feels sorry for the poor little girl who has hard life, but yet still manages to be the adorable sunshine she is. She admires that about Amelia; and they can be seen in the Gardens or the Tituba dorms spending time together. Emily keeps an eye out for her, as she doesn't like it when Bullies try and hurt Amelia, due to her being a mute. It's not fair and Emily sometimes wishes that life wasn't so cruel to the poor girl. In a way, those to have a sister like relationship to one another.[/color] [hr] [Center][img]https://31.media.tumblr.com/bb288a86fceb1b75eab5bdb390cf8924/tumblr_nmm3l8gIoS1tikj95o1_500.gif[/img][/Center] [img]http://fontmeme.com/embed.php?text=Alain%20Morneau&name=ATTRACTMOREWOMEN.ttf&size=60&style_color=9A9AAD[/img] [color=PeachPuff] "I know he struggles. It's not easy being born a muggle born. I may only be a half-blood, but I still know the feeling, of being torn between one world and the other. He's a sweet guy..and he doesn't deserve the hate he gets, because of his blood status." Emily did not hesitate to befriend the muggle born and will often stand up for him, when bullies and arrogant people, try to put him down because of who he is. He's smart and sweet, and probably the perfect example, of a guy that Emily should be with, which sometimes confuses her...and who she likes.She's not really sure, if she has a little crush on him, or just appreciates his help, kindness and gentleman like manners. Being smart and more skilled in potions class; Emily has sought out his help on numerous occasions, the two studied a few times before. [/color] [img]http://fontmeme.com/embed.php?text=Dorado%20Schmitz&name=Cursif.ttf&size=100&style_color=171729[/img] [Color=Royalblue]"Urgh....not again. How many times in a day will I have to hear this name? Dorado this...Dorado that! He's just that one person...you love and you hate at the same time." Dorado and Emily always have had a hate/love relationship and it hasn't changed over the last few years. As charming as he may be, he does get on Emily's nerves more than enough. The two can be heard snapping and snipping at each other, or exchanging pleasantries here and there. Some say, the two flirt in their own little way...maybe they do. But being Stubborn, Emily would never admit to that...or the fact that she has a slight crush on the handsome wizard. She wouldn't even say anything to him...knowing about his reputation. He may be skilled in Quidditch, but Emily tries not to let that sway her; even if she sometimes gets lost and watches him instead of the Tituba players. [/color] [/hider]
