~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Physical appearance ~ : The best way to describe Emi is in terms of food. She has skin the color of coffee with too much milk poured in, eyes the color of a green pillow mint and hair the approximate color and texture of black cotton candy. Her hair is waist length, very thick, with bangs that sweep to the left over one eye, and doesn't have much of a part. She is tall for her age and has long legs. Her shoulders are a little bit too wide, and she doesn't have much in the way of a chest or curves. She's all angles and has a thin but athletic build, like a ballet dance or a gymnast. She has a tattoo of a black butterfly on her left shoulder. She has a heart shaped face with a sharp chin, a "celestial" or upturned nose, a mouth that is small in comparison to the rest of her face with thin lips. Her most distinctive feature would be her eyebrows. I can't really describe them without making her seem manly, so a real-life comparison would be Camilla Belle. All in all, she's pretty, but in an unconventional, exotic kind of way.
The skin from her wrists up to the insides her elbow are crisscrossed with straight scars, a reminder of her self-destructive past. She is somewhat self-conscious about this and prefers to keep her arms hidden although many times this is not possible.
The back of her jacket is embroidered with a green butterfly design.
Clothing/Accessories ~ : From the top down. Emi wears a long-sleeved cropped jacket made of a soft light brown leather, the pockets and inside are lined with some kind of green fabric. Underneath that, she wears a 3/4 length shirt that bares her belly, in purple and green horizontal stripes that really don't do much to help her figure. She wears black denim low rise jeans and a brown belt. Her shoes are purple and green sneakers that have a bit of shine to them. Around her neck is a simple choker made of a strip of black velvet. Her right ear is pierced in three places. She wears simple black fingerless gloves on her hands.
Halloween Town: When Emi visits Halloween Town, her clothes change into what she likens to a demonic Christmas elf. She wears a horizontally striped long sleeved mini-dress, rust and orange colored. Jingly bells adorn the tattered hem of her skirt. A matching masqurade-style mask covers her eyes, and her thick black hair is pulled into pigtails with huge orange bows. She wears striped leggings the same color as her dress, and these leggings become shoes with elfin curly toes. Her fingers have become claws and she seems to have sprouted vampire-style fangs.
Atlantica: Emi becomes a mermaid, naturally. An inverse of the classic Aeriel look, Emi wears a green sea-shell top and has a purple mermaid's tail. Also, as in many of her off-world transformations, Emi's hair is pulled back into a low pony tail, to avoid becoming tangled in the underwater current. This is one of only two outfits in which the butterfly tattoo on her left shoulder is visible.
Pride Lands Emi becomes a black and white colored gazelle, with legs a little longer than the average gazelle and a very nice set of horns. She isn't quite sure about the horns, since she is pretty sure only dudes get those...
Space Paranoids Emi ditches her jacket and striped top for a much simpler top in the usual Space Paranoid style of blue and gray with glowing blue cicuits. The same happens to her pants and her shoes. The result is a more streamlined, glowing Emi, with her hair pulled back in order for the silly helmet to actually fit on her head.
Beast's Castle Emi's usual clothes transform in a beautiful hunter green strapless ball gown, with a large black sash tied into a bow at her back. The dress is modest in the front, but the back dips all the way to her lower back, held up with black corset-style lacing. The dress poofs out thanks to layers and layers of black tulle. The tattoo on her left shoulder is visible just like in her Atlantica form. Her hair is pulled back in a French-braid and adorned with a large green bow. She still wears her sneakers under the dress, so she can still battle.
TImeless River Emi becomes a black and white, more distorted and cartoony form of herself. Her hands and feet are exaggerated on noodly arms and legs, her black hair is even more wild, and her eyes seem to have become two round dots on her face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alignment ~ : Good (although at times, you would wonder...)
Behavior ~ : It is best to describe Emi with these words: self-destructive, angry, and cynical. These are the bad traits that most everyone sees. If you were to get to know her a little better you would understand why she is the way she is and you would also learn that she has a great sense of humor, is very loyal and protective and has a great capacity for love, romantic or otherwise. At first she seems quiet, but if you hang around long enough you will soon see that she is in fact very loud. She will lie in an instant to protect somebody from being hurt, so don't ask her if that dress makes your butt look big.

~Weapons~
Suddenly, a Heartless appears in front of you, brandishing its claws and threatening to attack. You reach for your weapon and equip it, ready to defend yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Primary Weapon(s)
ID: Duskywing and Daggerwing
Quality: Fine
A set of modified kali (or eskrima) sticks. Made of sturdy, somewhat heavy dark colored metal (a bit heavier than is probably preferred by most fighters). About two feet long and engraved with a butterfly design. The stick in her right hand is called Daggerwing and the one in her right is referred to as Duskywing. These sticks pack quite a punch, and could even prove lethal.
Metalmark
Sends a weak fire spell through her kali sticks, super-heating them for extra attack power. This does not hurt Emi. She will attack regurlarly, but the impacts are more powerful and hurt more. They also leave a temporary butterfly shaped brand on the point of impact.
Strength: weak
Uses: Twice per pattle. 3 post cooldown.
Secondary Weapon(s)
ID:

AP left: 0
Drumroll, Please!
A rapid onslaught from her kali sticks sends Heartless, Nobodies or other non-humaniod enemies into the air and stuns them for a few seconds. The strikes from the sticks actually need to impact with the physical target. The impacts are fast enough to sound like a drum roll.
She doesn't use this often because she finds it a bother to try and reach the enemy or wait for it to fall back down, and it also doesn't deal much damage, but it sure does look impressive....
Strength: weak
Uses: Three times every 4 rounds
Éponine
Risks damage to help an ally. While defending an ally in need, Emi is left pretty much defenseless herself so whatever damage she takes is doubled, but her strength is doubled in order to get the job done. She will defend by blocking any incoming attacks, using herself as a human shield and taking on the ally's current target as well as her own. This lasts for about 45 seconds. It may not seem like a long time, but it's more than enough for an ally to heal or for Emi to take on massive damage. She doesn't use this often, she's not really the kind to sacrifice herself on a regular basis, so don't rely on it too much.
Strength: moderate
Uses: once every 7 turns
[Wall Run]
At a moderate level, Emi can climb a wall up to the height of 4 feet and run along it horizontally for 5 seconds. This ability doesn't really do anything in and of itself, but it does allow her to do a few things because of it. She can avoid enemies on the ground, launch herself into the air at about 4 feet (or as high as she climbs up the wall) for an aeriel attack or reach previously inaccessible areas. She could also run up or down a wall vertically to access ledges or other heights, but again, only to a height of four feet at this level. While wall running, Emi is unable to defend and an enemy could knock her down. She is also unable to add flips or other acrobatics, and fighting is a bit difficult so her attacks only have about a 45% chance of connecting and she cannot use any other abilities at this time. She can, however, use this after her "Drumroll, Please!" ability in order to reach her target.
Strength: moderate
Uses: passive
Demi
Gravity spell. Temporarily flattens all enemies in range. Depending on the size of the enemy, this spell deals 10-25% damage. More intelligent enemies are able to dodge this spell thanks to the the tell-tale purple orb that appears over the target before dealing damage. Smaller enemies are dealt more damage than large enemies. Not usuable on humanoid targets (humans, higher-level Nobodies, etc) in its weak stage.
Strength: weak
Uses: Duration: 1 post Uses: 3 times per battle Cooldown: 3 posts
Items
1. Potion
2. Shell Curtain
Equips
1. Strike Raid-
The user can throw a melee weapon as an attack and then have it reappear in their hand at the beginning of their next post. The thrown weapon will curve slightly to hit a target if it moves but is not overly difficult to evade from a distance. 6 uses per battle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a long time, Emi harbored a belief that maybe she was a princess. Of course, the years hardened her and she abandoned childish dreams. In reality, she grew up in a small orphange in Radiant Garden. By small, I mean very small. It was just Emi and three other kids, of which she was the oldest. Their "mother", the founder and person who ran the orphange, took good care of them, but of course, Emi always wondered who she belonged to.
She began to suffer bouts of terrible anger in which she would lash out at the other children, even for the most harmless of comments. She always regretted it later, but there was soon a cloud of persistent anger about her. She did discover a love for the drums at an early age and pursued this passion.
Radiant Garden was destroyed when she was seven years old. Only she and one other child were survivors from the orphanage, but they were seperated. Emi found herself in to Twilight Town, and grew up on the streets there, unwilling to accept help from anyone.
When she was fourteen, she found herself in bad company. This, added with her hair-trigger temper, lead the way to her hurting many people, emotionally and physically. She almost killed a boy years younger for nothing more than accidentally scuffing her drums. She floated back and forth between different harmful habits, maybe for attention, maybe to find a place where she would belong, maybe to become numb to the world, but if you asked her she would say it was simply punishment for all the things she had done to hurt people. She punished herself in the way of drugs, alcohol, promiscuity, cutting, but abandoned each one quickly when she found it didn't make her feel redeemed.
She was given a pair of kali sticks and she taught herself how to use them in a way only resembling the way they were meant to be used. She liked the kali sticks because they felt sort of like drum sticks, which she was so fond of. Now that she is seventeen, she has no true friends and is still looking for someone to belong to. She's gotten herself off the streets, and sobered up. She wants to find redemption and someone to belong to.

With a furtive glance behind her, Emi takes the sword.
