[i][color=7B68EE]"My father sees her every time he looks at me."[/color][/i]

[indent]Born from an Elven mother, Emmy possesses the fox-like features of high cheekbones, long and slender limbs, slanted eyes, and pointed ears that are associated with Elves. Besides her human nature, the only thing she has inherited from her father are his dark green eyes and his button nose. Her figure is slim, with subtle curves where her long torso meets her hips. What little muscle she has is held in her legs because she prefers to walk when her body allows it. Her skin is fair, yet it develops a tan during the sunny months of summer. The only scar on her body is faded, sitting on her left temple from a fainting spell as a child.

Her hair, like her mothers, cascades in sleek, auburn waves down to the middle of her back that flashes red in the sunlight. She braids it to protect it from tangles on windy days, pins it up with a clip, or ties half of it back with a ribbon when she wants it out of her face. As for makeup, Emmy prefers to keep her face clean. She simply brushes her slim brows out and applies mascara and she's ready for the day.

Although she stands at 5'4" in her comfortable ballet flats or sandals, in the colder months Emmy often wears boots that add an extra inch or two to her height. Her style overall screams student, as she prefers timeless academia pieces that add layers to basic tee's or button-ups. She'll layer these basics with sweaters, vests, cardigans, or jackets. She wears jeans and short skirts in the warmer months, and opts for trousers or long skirts in colder weather. She prefers to wear modest pieces, but will occasionally layer a jacket or blazer over a satin tank or dress in the summer. The color palette of her clothing sticks to neutrals, with pops of reds, blues, and greens mixed into her wardrobe.

Emmy has recently started pairing thin gloves with her outfits, and if anyone asks, she tells them that her hands are just cold.[/indent]

[INDENT][b]MAIN GOAL  ⫻[/b] 
For now, Emmy wishes to finish her literature degree. Beyond that, Emmy is unsure whether she wants to teach or open her own bookstore in Twin Peaks. She'd love to travel the world, but her condition has kept her from straying far from home. Perhaps one day she'll brave the unknown despite her limitations.

[b]PHILOSOPHY  ⫻[/b] 
Emmy lives with a quiet strength. Her condition has taught her that time is precious, so she lives each day as it comes and practices patience with her body's needs. While she's been well taken care of by her father since she was a child, she knows that she must be independent in her own struggles in order to begin her own life. She often pushes herself to live as normal as possible despite her needs. She's also aware of the privilege she has, and is grateful for it, but she does her best to be humble despite it. She believes that everyone should be treated with the same kindness and respect no matter who their family is or how much money they have.

[b]SECRETS AND FEARS ⫻[/b]
Emmy doesn't like to talk about the points of her ears because she believes that her mother left because of her illness. She often covers her ears with her hair or hats just to avoid the conversation.

Emmy is also afraid of heights.

Not so much of a secret if you look at her wardrobe, or know who her father is, but Emmy isn't forthright about the status of her bank account.

[b]SEXUALITY  ⫻[/b] Straight, but her eyes have been known to wander

[b] WHAT WAS THE FIRST DAY WITH MAGIC LIKE?  ⫻ [/b]  It was fortunate that Emmy's magic awakened in the evening, while she was resting by the window with a book in hand. It was equally unfortunate that within one minute, the book began to rapidly decay within her hands. The pages began to yellow, the ink began to fade, and the binding came undone and cracked where it had been bent. It disintegrated between her fingers and fell into her lap like ashes.

She was stunned, confused, and horribly disappointed that a relatively new book was suddenly destroyed. Still, what was she to do but clean up the mess and plan to buy the replacement the next day? [i]Something[/i] must have been wrong with the book, right?

Little did she know, it wasn't the book that was to blame.

Over the next few days, she noticed subtle changes in the things she would touch. Her toothbrush, near the end of it's use when she began, suddenly looked brand new after she brushed her teeth. The wooden handrail she would hold onto while going down the stairs looked shiny and new in some places, and worn in others. Her slippers, well-worn but with plenty of life left to them, fell apart the moment she put her feet inside of them. She even noticed that she was able to predict the time on her watch before she'd even looked at it. She could feel how much time had passed since she'd laid down for a nap. She was also much better at being on time for class.

When the mysterious envelope arrived a week after the first bizarre incident, everything clicked into place as the letter slowly disintegrated into her lap. Just like the book had done a week earlier.

[b]FLAWS  ⫻[/b] Her illness plays a huge part in the flaws that Emmy presents. She's been humbled by her condition many times throughout her life. Unable to play sports or engage in many social events, Emmy has become a bit of a bookworm and has grown comfortable living quietly. It's become hard for her to break from her usual routine, so she hasn't tried anything new in a long time.

[sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub]
[i][color=7B68EE]"Twin Pines is all I've known."[/color][/i]

[indent]The Longwell's have been a consistent name in the history of Twin Pines. The family business has dabbled in many areas within the city. It began first with the fishing docks, hiring boats and men to bring back a catch worth a profit, and then began to invest in the many tourist spots like restaurants and museums in the town. It has always remained a family name that carries respect within the business owners of Twin Pines. By the time that Emmy's father began to step into his own father's place within the business, the family had enough investments and property ownership that they were within the top percentage of wealth.

Emmeline's mother was travelling through the states when she found herself staying in the lakeside city. She loved it's rustic and cozy atmosphere, and even found love with a human man during her visit. She extended her stay in Twin Pines indefinitely, and soon the two were wed with a little girl on the way. They purchased their own home at the top of the hill that borders the fishing docks and ensured that little Emmeline would be comfortable in life. Her father put all of his efforts into the business, while her mother collected many books and pieces of art that would enrich Emmy's mind from a young age.

Emmy grew up well-fed, well-taught, and as happy as she could be. It was only when her illness began to present itself that the troubles began. She quickly tired, and suffered from headaches, shortness of breath, dizziness, and fainting spells. Her parents took her to many doctors, but it would take a year for them to get a proper diagnosis. By then they had already chosen to homeschool Emmy, and their happy little girl had become a shell of who she once was. They'd run themselves ragged looking for answers, and it had put a strain on the marriage that they couldn't return from. Emmy's mother left after a few months, leaving her father to pour himself into his work so that he could provide for Emmy and her condition.

With his love and constant support, Emmy soon began to find a balance between her illness and leading a normal life. With little to do otherwise, she became an exceptional student and eventually found friends through the other homeschooled children or in the bookstores or cafes she would frequent. She applied for college, and began to slowly work on her degree by taking classes part time to avoid overworking herself. She is now on her final year in her degree, and must decide for herself what her future will bring.[/indent]

[b]MAGIC ⫻[/b] [color=7B68EE]Chronomancy[/color] The perception and manipulation of time.

[b]MAGIC DESCRIPTION  ⫻[/b]

[i]Perception[/i]: The ability to feel and perceive time passing like an internal clock. This is a passive ability, but it is useful when applying other chronomancy skills. The user is able to perceive how much time they are manipulating or how much time has passed since they began to use their magic.

[i]Manipulation[/i]: The ability to manipulate time by reversing, slowing, accelerating, or freezing time. This can apply to anything the user comes into contact with. If ink or paint has been erased or smudged, the user can reverse time to make the word or art readable again. If something has broken or aged past it's usefulness, the user can reverse time to restore the object to it's original state. If the user wishes to dismantle the object, they can reverse time on it to return it to the separate parts that make the object a whole. Also, if they wish to destroy an object, they can accelerate the effects of time on said object and it will decay within their grasp.

[b]LIMITS  ⫻[/b]

[i]Perception[/i]: At the moment, Emmy is only able to sense time passively or through her use of magic. Because her magic has just recently awakened, she is still getting the grasp of perceiving how much time she is manipulating on an object. This means that she may not achieve the desired aging or de-aging of said object and could potentially alter it too much or not enough.

[i]Manipulation[/i]: Emmy has not been able to slow or freeze time. She also has not been able to affect the space around her nor anything living. She is only able to affect tangible objects at this moment, and she must maintain physical contact with the object she is manipulating until she has finished. She can only affect one object at a time, and is only able to affect an object as large as the wheel of a car. The amount of time that she manipulates, and the size of the object she manipulates, affects the energy levels she has or can cause her to develop a headache. Emmy also wears gloves when she is out in public because she is not yet able to control her magic.
