Common Knowledge

Appearance

Emma is, under the right lighting, quite attractive. With her slender spade-tipped prehensile tail, she could conceivably pass for a succubus- save for the fact that, while clear and smooth, every inch of her skin is a sickly, pale greenish hue, and she lacks all of the characteristic demeanor; She generally seems less like a lust-filled demoness and more like someone who is moderately ill. She's slight of build, with little visible muscle, and stands about 5'6" tall. She has bobbed, straight brown hair, blue-grey eyes, and generally favors modest clothes in muted shades of grey, green and brown. Anyone observing her for very long will probably notice that she speaks with a pronounced stammer, and also tends to have difficulty in looking anyone in the eye for more than a few seconds. She seems, in fact, to be in an almost constant state of anxiety.

• [Spot DC 25] Both of her palms have been marked by magic; Her right is branded with the image of a seven-pointed sun, her left is marred by a vaguely star-shaped burn scar.
• [Spot DC 20] Her right ear is slightly discolored, appearing more of a seafoam green, compared to her overall slightly more sickly coloration.
• [Knowledge: The Planes DC 35] Most of her skin, save that on her neck and head, and that on her forearms, hands, shins and feet is covered in tattoos and markings primarily of Tanar'ric design and language, the vast majority of these markings having names worked into them, a few recognizable as belonging to some prominent figures in the Abyss.
• Oddly, she's taken to wearing chokers or a collar lately.
• [Usually hidden under clothing] She has a scar across her stomach such as one might get as a result of being slashed with a blade. She also has a scar halfway between her lowest rib and her left breast from being stabbed, with an accompanying scar on her back from the exit wound.
• She has a tattoo of a cluster of three pink sakura blossoms on her chest, on the left side, above her heart.
• She wears a red cloth bracelet about her left wrist, with small beads sewn into it.

Personality

Emma is almost always nervous, and regularly demonstrates a hesitance to interact with other people. She clearly wants to, but her own anxiety frequently holds her back. She tends to settle at first for the middle ground of being silent but present for discussions, so addressing her directly often startles her slightly- but it also gives her the needed 'push' to involve herself. When she speaks, it is generally quiet and punctuated with pauses and stammering, and she seems to frequently have difficulty selecting the right words to convey precisely what she means. She also spends perhaps an undue degree of focus on attempts to avoid upsetting others, which has occasionally led to her switching between conflicting ideas mid-sentence as she tries to work out the most diplomatic thing to say.

When discussing magical theories and formulae, however, she tends to become engrossed in the ideas, and her anxiety takes a backseat to scholarly fascination. When she recognizes someone as being a spellcaster of any variety, the idea that they share common interests is often sufficient to suppress her anxiety enough for her to eventually initiate a conversation.

Relations

Emma doesn't seem to have any clear-cut criteria for dividing up acquaintances into friends, enemies, and so on, tending to refer to most people she knows as 'friends', but from an outside perspective, one could more or less lump all those that she deals with regularly into three groups:

Friends

• Aitou - Following the battle for Cadarn Edryd,Emma and Aitou met, and found each other well suited to helping one another through their respective troubles. Not long after, their relationship became one of a romantic nature.
• Alec - She seems fond of the Bleaker, and has often sought him out for advice, evidently having great respect for his opinion. Recently, however, her interactions with him have been awkward and brief due to guilt over some betrayal of his trust.
• Alinda Lasaedra Veles - Emma was in a romantic relationship with Alinda for a time, but their relationship was apparently unable to survive the strict rules that Emma was required to adhere to as a member of the Order of the Planes Militant.
• Aria - She's known Aria for a long time; They first met not long after Emma's arrival in Sigil, in fact. She considers Aria one of her closest, dearest friends. Lately, however, they've grown less close- though Emma regularly demonstrates dissatisfaction with this fact.
• Cassidy MacKenna - Emma sees her as a friend. She's known Cass and Erin for about the same length of time, and seems about as fond of one as of the other, but around Cass she is perhaps slightly less awkward. Emma supposedly joined the Guardians through the two of them.
• Charley Thorne - Emma considers her a friend, and seems to truly empathize with her, but at the same time, she frequently seems actively concerned for her, especially when she behaves in a manner that might make anyone besides Emma suspicious.
• Erin Black - Emma sees her as a friend, and gladly shares notes and scrolls with her. She's known Cass and Erin for about the same length of time, and seems about as fond of one as of the other, having even supposedly joined the Guardians through the two of them.
• Eruca ad Papillionem - For whatever reason, Emma trusts Eruca, very obviously considering her a very dear friend, akin to a sister. Why is uncertain, especially considering the treatment she's occasionally received at Eruca's hands.
• Niki Abraxas - Emma seems to greatly enjoy talking with her, clearly taking great pleasure in having someone with whom she can have unfiltered discussions on the subject of magic without having to worry about being judged.
• Sorlla Tamera - Emma had, since not long after her expulsion from the Order of the Planes Militant, been in a romantic relationship with Sorlla. At some point after the battle for Cadarn Edryd, however, they broke up.

Associates

• Abby Ricci - Emma has known Abby for about a long as she's known Aria or Alinda, and is friendly with her, but doesn't really know her all that well.
• Adrelis Roth - She considers her a friend, and even tried to set Sorlla up with her, back before they started dating. She has since stopped idolizing people just for holding the title of paladin, and realized that she doesn't actually know her that well.
• Aerin Grey - Emma's known her nearly as long as she's known Abby, and considers her a friend too, though it's often unclear whether the feeling is mutual.
• Andy - She considers Andy a friend, but she hasn't seen her in a long time, and she's changed a lot in that time; Andy might not like who Emma has become.
• Asenath - Emma is a fairly frequent patron at IX, and finds Asenath both pleasant and interesting. She isn't sure what to make of her philosophy, but enjoys talking with her.
• Balthazar De-Medici - She doesn't seem to dislike him per se, but she's shouted at him nearly as often as she's had a pleazant converation with him, and their interactions are usually somewhat tense.
• Eidothea - Emma first met her some time ago, but was too preoccupied with her own troubles to get to know her, until after she'd joined the Order of the Planes Militant. Emma is quite fond of her, but the feeling doesn't appear to be mutual, based on Emma's usual mood after their few conversations.
• Face - It isn't clear what Emma thinks of Face, but she's usually fairly polite in her dealings with her, occasionally finding their conversations quite enjoyable.
• Hafsa Sarah Shadiya Tabassum Alfarsi - She seems to consider the djinn a friendly acquaintance, or possibly a friend, but she also seems at times to find her either frustrating or somewhat amusing- the former being more common, typically stemming from her distaste for being treated like a child just because she's mortal.
• Hagra - Emma finds her interesting and easy to get along with, and is happy to be considered Hagra's friend.
• Jack Silvence
• Kate Deringer - She tries to be kind and understanding with the prime, but frequently ends up frightening her, and has a hard time keeping her convinced that she isn't after her soul.
• Madhura - Emma's relationship with her is hard to define. She doesn't talk with her frequently, it having been, in fact, quite some time since they last saw one another, but when they have, Emma has seemed more relaxed and comfortable than usual.
• Naika L'Xia-Velve
• Rasha Suldanessellar
• Raven Serebro

• Seluil
• Senna

Additional Notes

History

Spoilers: <<WORK IN PROGRESS>>

Much of Emma's history is unknown, alternately due to some fear related to the subject and a lack of clarity in her memories prior to her initial arrival in Sigil.

Possible Plot-Hooks

• She doesn't remember the first ten to fifteen years of her life.
• She was a namer in the Revolutionary League for about a year, just before coming to Sigil.
• Her ex-Mistress was a succubus; she was supposedly executed for murder, but could return.
• She is perhaps overly compassionate; she is inclined to think the best of everyone.
