Bio:
Emma, born to a military family, had been raised with the expectation of joining the army. This all changed when her mother Karen discovered that the girl could use magic when she turned 6. She knew the army would not use her little girl right, so took the ultimate sacrifice; she fled the army, taking her little girl with her. 

Emma and her mother lived in poverty, having to change their names and blend into society all while keeping Emmas talents a secret. Soon things became so desperate that Karen began to use her daughters powers for stealing, which began a downward spiral until they were caught. Emma, then 14, was sent to a juvenile correctional facility. When she turned 16, the centre released her into the care of the Magic School, hoping they could continue the facilities work.

----

Powers: Emma can change the shape of anything, making it much bigger or much smaller - a power she used to steal when she was younger. She can also manipulate light, allowing her to either make it brighter, darker or (more strangely) make shadows look bigger through it.

Down Side: She cannot manipulate her own size. Also, so far, she has been unable to change the size of humans.

Weaknesses: Sugar addiction, and extreme paranoia!

Fears(optional): Emma is afraid of spiders.

Items: A shrunk handgun that she stole when she was 8, and has never resized. 

Extras(Like learned skills): She's learnt sleight of hand (able to quickly take things to resize without being noticed) and always seems to know when she's being watched (paranoia)
