She is a very curious, energetic ball of pure energy. Some may call her hyper but she can be very calm, mellow, and level-headed as well. Being calm and patient in most situations, she stays focused and aware not making snap judgements right away. She is very adventurous and if given the chance she loves to try new things. Emerson tries to avoid making enemies, befriending most everyone she meets and enjoying the company of others, but sometimes her sarcasm gets in the way and she gets herself in a heap of trouble. She is very passionate, sometimes in a fiery way, and loving. Em does come across in a flirty way, but she is also respectful and minds boundaries. Em is extremely polite and soft spoken and doesn't care much for rude, obnoxious, or distasteful people. Although kindhearted and sweet, she can be cold or stern when she needs to be, but prefers not to be. Her nature is often useful when breaking up an argument or settling a dispute, as well as making her a great negotiator. Her communication skills make her trustworthy and a faithful friend, however she can be secretive and lie if she needs to. [color=8B008B]Skill:[/color] Art and Special effects make up [color=8B008B]Backstory:[/color] Emerson was brought up in a low-middle class family by her parents Adam and Lilith Striker. To most people’s surprise the two weren’t actually married even though they had been together so long and had two children together. They acted and fought like a married couple, causing Em to hide up in the attic sometimes to get away from the yelling. Her older brother, Dani, was always there with her when she was younger to keep her company. Growing up she always wanted to be like him, a lazy goofball that was always a joy to be around. He lightened any mood with his goofy fun personality. Throughout school Em gravitated toward the “weird” people. She had a passion for art and special effects in movies so it became her hobby. Tirelessly working on her own special effects make ups and trying to imitate those of movies, she became really good at it. Sometimes she would help her brother get back at her bullies with the help of her talent. When high school came around for Emerson, she had become an even bigger target for bullying and pranks. When she heard about Mary Clarice she instantly began to look into it. Em herself had heard things while she was in the art classroom afterschool. As she grew more aware of the rumors and stories she joined the club to do further research and help prove or disprove what she could.
