Personal history
Emily originally lived with her parents in a wealthy neighborhood of Cardiff, Wales. However, after her mother was brutally murdered in a robbery gone wrong, her father moved her to the small Welsh town of Crickhowell. She was confined to the estate due to her father's paranoia that someone would kill her, and she became extremely lonely due to her isolation. Her only friend was her raven companion, Edgar. She became extremely proficient in swordsmanship and archery due to being bored and eventually ran away from home in search of adventure.
