Angular and delicate, Claire is a bright sparkly girl that can often be seen with a smile on her face. Posessing a heart-shaped face with a button nose and a set of beautiful almond shaped eyes. Her eyes, which are by far her most striking feature are a gorgeous shade of ash grey and her thin lips, which accentuates her small mouth a healthy pink. They rest easily on her face, supple and intuitive, ready to spread into a smile at a moment's notice. Her ivory complexion is fair, with subtle golden undertones. Her hair is a lovely shade of honey blonde extending down to her shoulders. Her body is lithe and flexible yet still managing to possess a decent amount of curves. Having moved from France not more than five years ago, she still speaks with a recognisable French accent.

Being a big fan of dresses, Emilie can usually be seen dressed in them although she does wear blouses and skirts as well. She rarely wears long pants, and the only type she wears are of the shorter variant. She would like to think that she has a good sense of fashion. In colder weather, sweaters, scarves and jackets are not an unusual add-on to current attire.

With an equally radiant personality to match her exuberant appearance, Emily is an energetic and adventurous individual that is also competitive and passioniate for what she loves and believes in. She always seek to strive for her best, and improving what she already knows. Headstrong and determined, once she sets her mind on something, she will do her best to achieve or complete it. Highly excitable, she tends to get excited over the smallest of things. She is also blunt and cynical, and is often rather judgemental of people which can make her out to be rude-sounding and mean even though she may not necessarily be so.

She has a rather extensive sense of humour and tends to laugh at most jokes, making a couple of her own along the way. A big fan of pranks and pranking people, she is not above carrying out other mischievous acts. Although It may not be easy to earn her trust, she is extremely loyal, and once you have gained her trust and loyalty, she can always be counted on in times of need.

When it comes to romance, Emily is by no means any good in the field. She does more than her fair share of flirting with guys she meets and is a real sucker for romance. She is a big fan of the whole love and affection thing between a couple and will go all out for the person she loves and considers her other half. She is very confident, although sometimes it may be overly so, which may come off as arrogance. Prone to being stubborn and obstinate, she often insists on doing things her way even though she knows that it may not be the fastest or most efficient way. She always seeks company, and likes it most when not alone.

Born into a middle class family, Emilie lived in one of the many residential suburbs in Paris. Emilie enjoyed most of her childhood and was well-liked at school, albeit in a different way. She was notorious for causing frequent mischief, but because her grades remained excellent, her teachers tolerated her to a certain extent. The young girl's life then took a surprising turn when she discovered gymnastics for the first time. Passionate in the sport, her parents fully endorsed and supported their only daughter's interests. Shortly after her thirteen birthday, the Delacour got the opportunity to immigrate over to the United States, and they took it. Moving over to California, Emilie settled down there, beginning her new life. While she was initially made fun of because of her French accent, as time passed,people began to get used to her, and Emilie found stability in her life.

She began living her life as usual, but she didn't seem to have the same form of success she had bad in France, it was as if a spark was gone in her. Although she said nothing to her parents, she could feel and sense it and were inherently worried for her. Her father, Michael, a seasoned hiker who would usually go onto weekend hiking trips in the country. It so happened during the particular trip of his, he happened to spot a unconscious injured fellow hiker lying on of the rocks. He appeared to have fallen of or tripped from the cliff several feet up. He couldn't let the guy just remained there. He looked like he was still alive as well. Calling as well as radioing for medical assistance, help soon came. The police came as well, and questioned him on the situation. When everything was done and cleared, he was in no mood to continue and began to head home early. The Delacour family went on with their usual everyday life for a week, before they got a surprise visit from a visitor at the door, one fateful Sunday morning.

The stranger introduced him as Mr. Watson and said he was a manager at Aperture Industries and about one week ago, Mr. Delacour saved their CEO who happened to be injured during a personal hiking trip. The boss himself would like to thank him personally at lunch. His family were invited to join in as well. At a lunch in a rather posh and fancy restaurant, It was there that Emilie met Christopher Strong for the first time. He was a hearty middle-aged man who looked none the worse for wear. It was hard to believe he was in a life-threatening accident no less than a week ago. They had their meal while her parents chatted with Mr. Strong. She however remained silent, but spared him some smiles whenever he looked her way. That was the least she felt she could do.

The two of them left, while her father stayed behind, interested in having a further conversation with Mr. Strong. She had no idea what the contents of the conversation were, and her mother refused to say anything. However, Emilie was convinced that her mother knew something. Repeated attempts to wrangle the reason out of her proved futile. Researching the company, she found that Aperture Industries was a huge multi-million dollar corporation that manufactured pharmaceuticals and related equipment as well as other forms of scientific research in the pharmaceutical field. Other than learning of the company, she learnt nothing else. Several hours later, her father came back but said nothing, simply putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. A few days later, an invitation in an envelope came. An invitation to Ashbury Academy.

The initial adjustment periods in which she got bullied and teased when she firs started school in California.

Christopher Strong is the CEO of Aperature Industries, a huge multi-million dollar corporation that manufactured pharmaceuticals and related equipment as well as other forms of scientific research in the pharmaceutical field. After her father saved the life of its chief executive, he was asked to name his reward. He told Strong that he wanted a better future for his daughter so that she could have whatever she wanted, and that he still felt guilty from robbing her of the happy memories of what she had back at France for his own desires. Strong was soon be approaching his elderly years, and with no children, he had no heir. The ownership would dissolve into fights within the corporation, something he did not want. His assistant then came up with a valuable suggestion.

"How about Ashbury Academy?" he had said. Ashbury Academy was a recognised institution that helped heir-less corporation owners groom potential successors with the help of the Academy's staff. It was widely recognised and accepted within the entire world.
