History: Emma's life is entirely typical if not defined by her parent's failings. Her father was noted as a genius-level prodigy, highly excelling in academics at Purple Crown Academy. He perhaps would've gone onto be a brilliant revolutionary that truly wrought change if not for one simple fact: He was mired by his failings in Deep Ground Online and his inability to put work into social relations and clubs. Because of his failures at gaming and social ineptitude he was delegated to a position below his intellect. Failing to recognize the role that his lack of social skills played into his failure he brewed a strong resentment towards DGO, chalking up his failure entirely to it. Emma's father attempted to pass on his resentment for the game, but instead brewed in her a strong desire to excel and move past the obstacle that hindered her father. She had a strong drive to succeed in the virtual world on which so much hinges, and has spent her formative years working to both match her father's academic success and study 'game theory' and prepare for DGO. Her mother, unfortunately, was what can only be described as completely average in both mediums. As Emma came into Purple Crown she made a great number of friends, and, as excepted, a genius... when it came to academics. Unfortunately for her technical knowledge didn't always translate well when it came to practical applications.
Emma's hope was to become a prodigy at the game, quickly scaling levels and earning a name for herself, but instead she has been veiled by complete mediocrity. Emma wanted to develop the skills she needed to succeed as quickly as possible, so in the interest in growing stronger and learning to fight she joined the Scarlet Harleys. So far she's had a very difficult time with PvP, but she has a strong drive to succeed, training constantly to succeed. Emma's number one goal at the moment is to work hard to become a master of DGO and win herself a truly great position in the real world. Besides her life in-game, Emma has a very active social life. She has a number of friends, and participates in clubs, having recognized the value in them her father failed to. Since she excels at academics she's found a natural fit in her part-time job tutoring struggling students, affording her a flexible schedule and a meager wage for taking pupils, not to mention favor with the faculty of Purple Crown.
Personality: Emma is a young and cheerful girl, noted for how outgoing she is. She's very eager to try to make her more 'reserved' friends feel comfortable and try to make them open up in groups. In conversation Emma is a always polite, kind, and prone to humor. She is, however, very innocent, often leading her looks past glaring and large faults in others, and place a dangerous amount of blind trust in strangers. She doesn't have much experience with the 'bad' side of the world and can be a bit gullible, a hindrance when it comes to the often cutthroat world of DGO. Emma is perhaps best defined by how studious she is. She focuses hard when studying, picks up new information quick, is perceptive of her surroundings, and excels when it comes to the technical information of DGO and her studies. On the topic of her studies, Emma could be accurately described as a 'Genius' when it comes to school. She excels in both maths and sciences, and is proficient in literature and English. However, above all, Emma is a loyal friend, and unwilling to turn her back back on those she is close to, online or otherwise.

Avatar Abilities:
- Summon: Fire Imps - Emma's first skills is a summon. The skill has a cap of 5 'charges'. Emma begins battle with all five, and gains an additional charge every 2 minutes. She can expend one charge to summon a fire imp, a small creature that is approximately half her size. The creature wields a red pitchfork and targets anyone Emma commands them to. Emma can only have 5 imps at a time. The creatures are relatively weak compared to any DGO players, so the must rely on coordination with themselves and Emma, and, of course numbers to defeat an opponent.
- Conjuration: Fiery Sword - Emma can use this skill to conjure a sword basked in fire. The flame able to spread to all but herself. She can use this skill every 1 minutes. The most obvious use of this skill is to summon a weapon to wield, but it is in fact sub-par as an equippable weapon. However, with a bit of unorthodox thinking this skill can find it's most practical use. The velocity and location (Within around 30 yards) of the weapon's exit point is variable, so the spell can be used to offensively hurl or 'poke' the enemy with the blade. It should be noted that a portal for the blade's exeunt appears four seconds before the sword appears, additionally making a distinct sound on opening, so this is only effective against the unaware or nonreactive.
- Conjuration: Slipscape Portal - Emma's primary form of mobility, this ability allows her to open a pair of portals that link with each other. These portals can be opened at any locations within 100 yards in any direction. This ability has a 1 minute cooldown.
