When standing straight up tall, Emmalina is about five foot ten inches. Her chin points out and the powerful smile she has gives her an aura of power and the ability to be a leader. Her shoulders are pushed back and her chest is forward, all of her shirts revealing a little of her chest on purpose. She weighs about 130 pounds and she definitely looks lighter, especially around her arms and stomach. Emma's skin colour isn't too light but she's definitely not walking around with extremely dark skin. A light bronze colours her body all over, save the inner part of her thighs which are slightly lighter.

Her hair is coloured a soft brown and it flows down around her head like a smooth river. She enjoys having it tied up and back but it wouldn't be a surprise to see her with it down and loose. It has the ability to look wild but tamed at the same time and she takes great care of it whenever she can afford the products to do it. Her eyes are a deep chocolatey brown with golden flecks. They are inviting and daunting but they manage to instil the feeling of control without her even saying a word. Emma's thin lips hide off-white teeth that could always be straighter, even if they aren't too crooked. They are often times curled up into a smile that looks mocking but genuine. Her whole face can deceive somebody but it can also bring them in and to immediately like her.

Some may consider her attractive and others may not. She really couldn't care less about the opinions of others. Her ears are a little larger than would be necessary for them to be proportional and they are tucked right back against her head. Emma's jawline is smooth yet prominent, giving the rest of her head a strong look to it. A small nose pokes out off of her face, almost appearing too small and making her face look cute and not intimidating. She goes with it though and hopes that having such a small nose can help with intriguing people. A thin neck connects her head to the rest of her lean body and it splits into two delicate shoulders. Her arms, although a little two thin, have only a slight bit of muscle and they end with small hands and thin fingers. Her nail beds almost always contain a bit of dirt and no matter how hard she tries to keep it out, it usually returns because of how often she's oot and aboot. She claims that when she's mayor, she'll be able to have somebody to do it for her.

Her chest is fairly prominent thanks to the support she has underneath her shirts. She tries to use her curves to her advantage, as it isn't just her chest but her hips too, in order to get the approval of males with power. Her stomach is completely flat, except for the bump of a long scar that goes across her abdomen, the reminder of a surgery she had when she was younger. She was lucky that so many people thought highly of her and therefore managed to find her a doctor who did the surgery to remove her appendix almost perfectly. The scar could have been quite a bit smaller but still, at least she didn't have what was causing her so much pain, right? Her legs extend down from her wide hips, more muscle being seen here than in her arms. Her feet are small and they have a very big arch which she finds helps her when she's running. Her toes are short and the nails are rugged but she always has them covered by shoes so she doesn't care much.

She sticks to normal clothes that aren't too out of the ordinary. Button up plaid shirts, normal loose t-shirts and comfortable blouses are all that make up Emmalina's collection of tops. She prefers to wear tight denim pants or tight cotton pants, never really minding the colours as long as they weren't too bright and weird. She owns quite a few jackets and sweaters, most of them being pretty thin and not very warm but she has a coat for when it gets too cold. Her shoes are a pair of leather boots that she almost always has on. They've become like her real feet and she feels most comfortable in them. A light golden ring sits on her right ring finger and it has her last name inscribed in it. She never leaves anywhere without it and it means the world to her. Emmalina also owns a pair of eyeglasses although she only needs them for reading. The perks of being rich was that she could afford all of this.


She uses her words and her assets to get what she wants. It's as simple as that. She's manipulative and controlling and it doesn't even make her feel bad at all. If she gets what she wants, that's all that really matters to her. Emma doesn't really care about the feelings of others and instead worries about sustaining herself and keeping her life exciting and as close to perfect as possible. Her cut-throat attitude and her great work ethic blend well together with her ease in controlling others and makes her the perfect candidate for being a mayor one day, in the eyes of the Capitol. Why not give it to the girl who's just as willing to throw somebody to the ground for nothing as she is to help them up and to give them a life of eternal happiness. Some think she has wild mood swings but really, it's all a part of her grand plan.

Even her regular day speaking voice seems to say power. It doesn't matter if she's trying to intimidate people, to inspire them or to just have a normal conversation. She's the embodiment of leadership in every way and she knows it. Perhaps she takes it a little too far and often acts as if she's the greatest thing alive but most of the time, she's just being herself. Once you actually get to know the girl, her obnoxious personality begins to become normal and not as in your face as it used to be. She's definitely charismatic and her words are her best weapon, coming to her with ease and being able to twist many people into being what she wants them to be. Making friends isn't a big issue for her if she wishes to but often times, she prefers to just have acquaintances and business partners. In her line of work, she has to keep a serious face and to not get too personal with the others around her. And yet, she can keep up her flirtatious and her sometimes humorous quirks while staying official.

Some would think that he brain works twice as fast as everybody else. In reality, she's just like any other person. Her IQ isn't exceedingly high and she is definitely not the smartest person in the District but she does excel quite a bit. Whether it's shown through her witty remarks or her sly behaviour, the girl proves her intelligence many times. Numbers and theories come fairly easily to Emmalina but her strong suit is definitely street smarts. She knows most of what their is to know on how to survive in the streets. All the cheapest shops, the ones who will pay the most for things, the ones you can hit up if you want somebody killed. All of those are just examples of the extremes of her knowledge. If you put her in the middle of the District and set a bunch of Peacekeepers on her, she'd probably be able to find a way to "disappear". That's just how she is.

Emma will always go for the hardest route. Going the easy way will only get you easy results, in her mind, and so she goes for the toughest option in order to have the greatest outcome. Sometimes when she makes a choice on the route to take, she can be almost too sure of that option. She is the furthest thing from flexible and you'll need to have a brilliant idea in order to truly be heard or to have your opinion analysed. Emmalina won't do anything without knowing that it's the best option and without knowing all the potential flaws. She works it all out first in order to avoid difficulties and to efficiently arrive at her desired conclusion. She may come off as a bitch and well, she definitely is one. Still, her main goal is to arrive at an eventual solution that benefits her and if it benefits others too, she doesn't mind.

Maybe that makes her pretty amazing. Some might believe that she's nearly perfect. Maybe on the outside it seems that way. Inside of her brain, there's something broken. She's twisted. All of her thoughts aren't exactly normal. And there isn't anything she can do about it. No matter how hard she tries to avoid them, they always come back. And there's no telling what they'll make her do. It could be the simplest thing that ends up turning out to be absolutely horrible. She has a desire to make a difference in the world and to change it for the better. With the dark thoughts and the break her in sanity, the change might be in an evil way. She can't afford to lose her reputation or else her whole future may be gone. Everything had worked out so well thus far. She could very well lose everything that she had tried so hard to get. Or she could live a life that was corrupted by the thoughts.


Vaneer McQuaid and Leslie Sharpe grew up as platonic friends. It wasn't until they were both ready to get married that they finally realized that the other was the one for them. The two got married and had a fairly fancy ceremony and then moved in together. Money was not an issue in the very least and they found themselves having too much at times. Their house was one of the larger ones next to the Victor's village, a perk of being the Mayor's closest assistants. Soon, they had Emmalina McQuaid, their only child and the only child they ever would have. She grew up living a life where everything was basically given to her on a silver platter.

Her childhood was pretty easy. She always had ease with making friends and soon enough, she was well known by all in the District despite her young age. People would call her cute or adorable and they'd think that her ability to actually hold a full and deep conversation at the age of five was impressive. That's how must of her childhood played out. She ended up having more relationships than she could handle by the time she was twelve years old. And if the Games ever became a question, she'd definitely have supporters or people who'd be willing to try to save her life. That's what she hoped at least. In the end, nobody would die for her no matter how hard she begged them to. Emma felt like she was this powerful though. It didn't matter how young she was, she liked the feeling of having a bit of control.

The hunger for power led her to apply for a position in the Justice Building with her parents. They served as assistants for the Mayor and Emmalina was like an assistant for her parents. She fit the job nicely and would work as hard as she could in order to impress those around her. Between school, work and her social life, Emma was doing very well. She liked to believe that she was kind of a celebrity in District Ten and that she could be a role model for everybody around her. Whether it was true or not, it didn't matter to her. That's what she was prepared to think. And then she started having the dark thoughts which threatened to ruin everything that she had worked for. Pushing them away for now, she continued to live life.

Now, she's well on her way to becoming a person of high power in the District. Everything can work out perfectly if she plays her cards right. Her one main goal is to eventually become Mayor and to show everybody just how great she could be. All of her life was about proving herself and proving that even though she was rich, she could still make a difference in some way. The one thing that Emma had to ensure was that the difference wasn't a bad one.
