Biography
Emma was forced to grow up very quickly, never having the chance to live a normal childhood. Taught by her father to hold a blade at the tender age of four, Emma spent much of her formative age learning the ways of politics and war. When she was nine, her father took her into her first battle, and in her very next battle, she scored her first kill. She is a rather cold and reticent person under normal circumstances and a vicious predator on the field of battle, but if one were to poke at her in just the right way, they might discover that she’s not so different from any other girl her age on the inside.

In Story
When Augustus invaded the Raetic territories in retaliation for the sacking of Trevorum, he met Emma in battle at Alaricund. Requesting a duel with Augustus' chosen champion, Emma ended up in combat against Taka. Due to his inexperience in war and battle tactics, Emma swiftly dispatched him, ending his life with a dagger to the throat. However, when she subsequently sought to battle Augustus himself, he struck her down with his magical abilities, resulting in the surrender of her and her troops.

In Battle
Emma is a highly proficient warrior, trained on the field of battle for the past two years. She wields a variety of weapons, but her most commonly used are a pair of daggers, which she wields with expert speed and finesse. She uses her diminutive size to her advantage, darting to and fro to maintain total control of the interval between her and her opponent while making herself as small a target as she can.
