Description: A plain young-adult woman, she is dressed in earthy colors with a pastel and blue handkerchief worn on her left side. She has moderate length black fur. Judging by the bloodshot nature of her eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine she has not slept for days.

Personality: She tends to agree with only herself unless someone else's opinion sounds like she can profit from it. She tries to control her temper but she can't always stop herself from what she feels what must be done. She moves from fascination to fascination almost instantaneously. If something can keep her interest for a month it is impressive.

History: Born in the east to a Bowyer, Emerald learned a great deal about her mother's area of expertise.

To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Emerald. Recently the stress of being a Bowyer has made it difficult for her to sleep.
