Description: This northern woman's face is deformed and paralyzed on one side. As such, she slurs her words together. She is well dressed, but even with her fine clothing she looks run-down. With bright black hair. Her eyes are gray.

Personality: She never swears and excessively uses polite adverbs when speaking. She is however greedy and will demand payment and proof of collateral's value and will produce a merchant's scale to make sure she is not cheated out of a speck.

History: She was raised happily, as a normal child born to her mother and father. Her mother taught her the rudiments of the Beggar arts, while her father instructed her in etiquette, music and courtly manner. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Emmeline took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up scimitar and armor she uses now. She has been a successful dealer in antiques buying low and selling high.
