Born to the duo of a hardworking back alley Mechanic and a and a deadbeat mage Emlie grew up in one of the many slums in Maviore. She learned early on in her life that having a team to cover her ass was a good advice to follow, though she had a lot to learn about choosing her teammates. Her life was full of high-stake jobs that ranged from stealing to smuggling which then evolved into assassinations of figures of importance to the Crucible. Her Choice of employment as well as teammates has gotten her in trouble multiple times but the commissioners of the jobs usually bailed her out in fear that she will rat them out to law enforcement, but then was one incident that changed her life forever.
It was the middle of the night and Emile and her team of four were about to pull off a heist that would set them up for the next two months in living expenses. All they had to do was get into the vault on the 12th floor and get the package that was stored inside, could have been easier, but hey a jobs a job. They were about 10 stories up when suddenly all the alarms turned on at once, the security officers rushed directly to their position and instantly began to kick their collective asses, all except Emile's second in command. She just stood above them smiling, Apparently she had ratted them all out for a fairly hefty sum of money. Emilia pushed herself up and took off running towards one of the floor to ceiling windows and threw herself out of it fully prepared to die rather than be caught but as luck would have it instead of hitting the ground directly she landed on a metal railing, but since she had attempted to break her with her magic by making a cusion of hot air it didn't kill her but it did break her back. The last thing she remembered was a numbness radiating from her back before passing out
When Emile awoke in the alleyway she was able to move again but it didn't feel as though it was her doing it. Apparently she had been missing for about three weeks but the person who had taken her was nowhere to be found. They had replaced her shattered spine and shoulder blades with a contraption that fused both mechanics and magic together to giver her back the ability to move on her own. She never found out who had given her back her life but everyday the thought is drowned out by the alcohol that she drinks to muffle the phantom pains that she still feels after 3 years.
