PERSONALITY: Emmeline is like any proper woman of her station should be. Only speaks when spoken to, holds her tongue, and keeps her opinions to herself. Even if she doesn't agree with what's been said. To the point, many have forgotten she even exists if it weren't for her trying to keep her younger sister in line. She is a very shy woman, who is incredibly kind. She only ever reveals her true feelings to her closest friend Charlotte Wright and her sisters.

Emmeline is secretly a hopeless romantic. She wants to be able to find a good match and is terrified she won't find the right man. She saw what happened with her sister's marriage, and though her sister was alright, her husband was a great deal older and eventually died. A marriage of convenience. Dare she say she wants to marry for love? She's a bit envious of her friend Charlotte and her pen pal. With this being her last social season she's a bit panicked but has been hiding it well and hopes to be able to find herself a match before she becomes a spinster forever.

FASHION: Emmeline stays up to date on the recent fashions, always dressed like a woman of her class should. She favors pastels, more specifically purples and baby blues. Her hair is always up, and never down.

BACKGROUND:

Emmeline was born the oldest daughter to Oswald and Leslie Barham. However, technically she's the middle daughter of her father's children. Having had relations with a woman before her parents were married, and from that union came her oldest sister, Vesper. Not wanting to turn his oldest daughter away, they covered up the scandal by saying Vesper had come from the church and they'd taken her in. Only the family knowing who Vesper really was.

Much to her mother's disdain, Emmeline has no bad bone in her body. Unable to be dismissive and cruel to her oldest sister. On the contrary, Emmeline loves and cares for her sisters both equally. She rather adores Vesper, even admires her. She wishes that she could have some her bravery and courage, for it might make finding a match far easier.

After Vesper was married off, her parents focused their attention on finding a suitable match for Emmeline. There were several possible suitors, but none were suitable. He was secretly a gambler, he had a mistress, he had a bastard, he drank too much and couldn't hold his liquor, he was only in it for her money, etc. For once, her mother's pickiness proved beneficial and she was able to persuade her father that none would do.

The consequence? Now no one wants her. As she entered her last social season, Emmeline is determined, and also terrified, of trying to find herself a good match. She has a list you see of all the qualities she's looking for, and is determined to find him. The time is ticking, and she hopes she can find her future husband before her time runs out...

Magic Type: Water
Magic History:

Emmeline realized she could control water after knocking over a decanter of water when she was young. She'd managed to will the water back where it belonged without making a mess after she'd willed it with her mind. Since then, she's taken to practicing her magic as well as ice sculpting. Selling her pieces during the social season to Aristocats, so they can have them at their balls and parties.
