Other: She's trained for years to be agile and strong, so she knows well what her body can handle of physical stuff and how to handle herself in a fight.

Personality:
Born different and raised a hunter left Emily a bit confused at times as to what she really is. Give her a witch, vampire or werewolf target and she takes it out without second thought if that's her order, other gifted people is a bit harder and confuses her, leaving her conflicted. More often than not, she ends up taking them back to her dad and if they haven't done anything, they are free to go. She doesn't really like hunting people unless they are fugitives, but she wants to make her father proud.

When it comes to family, Emily is very protective, even after all the crap her father put her through growing up. She would like the freedom to stop hunting supernaturals and just help with the regular fugitives, but she'd never bring it up around him as she doesn't want to disappoint him.

Emily easily comes across as cold and distant when she's working. She's found it's easier to do what's expected of her if she doesn't let herself care and just bring in the people she's sent after. Off the clock she's slightly more awkward and naive as she isn't well trained for situations like that. She doesn't always know what's appropriate or not to say or do and if she doesn't like you she might not talk much at all just to be on the safe side.

All the testing and training her father put her through robbed her of a normal childhood and she's missed out on a lot of things normal people do because of it. She might even come off as slightly off the rocker at times because of it. And very naive about certain things.

When it comes to things she cares about, Emily is task oriented and takes care of business. She doesn't make friends easily, and she's often over-confident, but as long as she follows whatever order her father dishes out, she's pretty much free to do what she pleases now.

She's always looking for people's weaknesses or ways to slip out of any given situation to be on the safe side. She also needs things to go her way most of the time or she gets upset. That doesn't mean she can't enjoy herself if she feels safe in a situation, she's just not used to it.

History:
Noah was a hard working deputy US Marshal, chasing fugitives until he realized that some of the crimes these people were wanted for made no sense whatsoever. Slowly, but surely he started chasing down supernaturals as well as fugitives, leaving his wife at home while he was off chasing monsters. Of course, he traveled home whenever he had caught another fugitive, leaving the supernatural world behind when he was home.

When Annabelle got pregnant, he put the supernatural hunting on hold, keeping to local marshal business for a while. At least until Emily was born. While keeping his head low, he started learning more about what his own family really had been doing and why his father had pushed him to becoming a man of the law in the first place. It also explained why one of the people his office was sent to catch was his own father.

Learning that he was from a family of hunters himself and that his father had kept him away from it all, he was determined to get his first born child into the family business at all costs while still staying a marshal himself. It was too late for him to become exceptional at hunting supernaturals, but he could mold his child into the perfect little hunter and bring her along on business trips as she got older.

Emily had a normal childhood up until she was five and first started exhibiting signs of not being normal. It broke her father's heart, but he kept her powers a secret and started testing the extent of her abilities in her playroom. One time he pushed her too far and she lost control, causing a blackout in their neighborhood.

This happened more and more over the years as he tried to test the limits of her powers. Whenever she got upset and was about to lash out towards him, he threw a bucket of water on her, ending up with her electrocuting herself. She screamed, but her mother wasn't around when he was testing her and no one noticed anything but flickering lights.

She quickly learned not to defy her father and as long as she did what he wanted, she didn't hurt. The fear or her father hurting her helped her get through school as well as her training for later in life. There wasn't much room for a normal childhood or public school, so her dad home-schooled her to avoid other children rubbing off on her.

When her sister was born, Emily was already 7 and she was already taught to respect her father, her mother paid less attention to her. By the time Emily was 12 and her sister was old enough to start training, her father didn't want to waste time training Clarissa since his first born was already respecting him. He didn't want to spend another seven years putting the fear of him in another daughter while he already had someone training to join him.

Once she was sixteen, he brought her to the shooting range and taught her how to use a gun. At this point she was fairly good at aiming with her electric arcs and the gun-training was to help with her hunting to be normal hunting skills. After a few tries they quickly decided on what kind of guns she would keep training with. Once she was 18 she got a permit to carry a gun and he deputized her for hunting a fugitive with him.

This carried on for a while before they decided it was better if she became a private investigator rather than a marshal like her father, that way they could still work together. She took cases related to fugitives her father was chasing and hunted together with him for a few years. Until they followed a werewolf all the way to Somber. Upon realizing the potential in the town, she was asked to set up shop in a small downtown office as a cover while her father still caught fugitives and sent her missions when she was digging up information for him.

Since meeting a vampire willing to take her in and teach her a few things about being alive, she's trying to put her past as a hunter behind her and just allow herself to live a little for a change.
