Full Name: Emerson Renae Striker Nicknames: Em or Emy
Age: 17
Appearance: Emerson is a long haired, redhead with freckled very lightly dusted around her nose and cheeks and hazel eyes. Her hair is usually down and messy but she does like to put it up in high ponytails. Emerson stands at 5’6” and weighs about 116 pounds, with a thin and small but athletic build that gives her speed. Em prefers jeans and loose fitting shirts over a tank top and her Joker Converse. Most of the times she wears a zip-up hoodie as well.
Personality: Emerson has a wild spirit that is nearly impossible to break. She is a very curious, energetic ball of pure energy. Some may call her hyper but she can be very calm, mellow, and level-headed as well. Being calm and patient in most situations, she stays focused and aware not making snap judgements right away. She is very adventurous and if given the chance she loves to try new things. Emerson tries to avoid making enemies, befriending most everyone she meets and enjoying the company of others, but sometimes her sarcasm gets in the way and she gets herself in a heap of trouble.
She is very passionate, sometimes in a fiery way, and loving. Em does come across in a flirty way, but she is also respectful and minds boundaries. Em is extremely polite and soft spoken and doesn't care much for rude, obnoxious, or distasteful people. Although kindhearted and sweet, she can be cold or stern when she needs to be, but prefers not to be. Her nature is often useful when breaking up an argument or settling a dispute, as well as making her a great negotiator. Her communication skills make her trustworthy and a faithful friend, however she can be secretive and lie if she needs to.
Skill: Art and Special effects make up
Backstory: Emerson was brought up in a low-middle class family by her parents Adam and Lilith Striker. To most people’s surprise the two weren’t actually married even though they had been together so long and had two children together. They acted and fought like a married couple, causing Em to hide up in the attic sometimes to get away from the yelling. Her older brother, Dani, was always there with her when she was younger to keep her company. Growing up she always wanted to be like him, a lazy goofball that was always a joy to be around. He lightened any mood with his goofy fun personality.
Throughout school Em gravitated toward the “weird” people. She had a passion for art and special effects in movies so it became her hobby. Tirelessly working on her own special effects make ups and trying to imitate those of movies, she became really good at it. Sometimes she would help her brother get back at her bullies with the help of her talent. When high school came around for Emerson, she had become an even bigger target for bullying and pranks. When she heard about Mary Clarice she instantly began to look into it. Em herself had heard things while she was in the art classroom afterschool. As she grew more aware of the rumors and stories she joined the club to do further research and help prove or disprove what she could.

Leanne looked at Marcus irritated. "I don't care. I'm too tired to kill anybody. If the guy wants a drink, I'm gonna get him a drink." she rolled her eyes and looked back at Dmitri. "Look, if you want food I can bring you somewhere there is some. Ammo on the other hand, as you can see, I don't have. My sister may. If you want a drink theres a bar down this street here," Lea pointed in the direction of the bar. "I can take you if you want." she meant every word she was saying.
Leanne was too tired to kill someone and she just wanted company besides Marcus. When it came time to talk to River she would, but she didn't need someone preaching in her ear. 'Hell maybe the guy lost his girlfriend and is looking for a pathetic lowlife like me.' Lea thought jokingly to herself. She turned to walk toward the bar. "Forgive him, he gets antsy and moody with new people." she said mocking him slightly. The more fun she poked at him, the better she felt.
