EMERSON
Anxious • Leader • Careful • Warm
Burdened with anxiety and a huge heart full of care, Emerson is perpetually tired and trying to look after everyone. Neurotic mom friend of the bunch, she tries to hang back and not be in the spotlight or take away anyone's sunshine. She is a true team player and supporter, she is lending a shoulder to cry on whether it be for relationship issues or for scraped knees. Determined and reluctantly brave, she really dreads that she is in charge of children who are under threat of the supernatural. She ends up getting over her anxiety because of her natural leadership and sense of survival and care. She thrives at camp and outside of those two months out of the year she is a quiet, serious, and studious person at university. She wants to work in conservation biology and oceonography and help save the whales (whoo). When weird things begin to happen at camp, she is investigative and more watchful and paranoid.

Summary
Daughter of a grizzled fisherman who can barely take care of himself after the death of her mother. She essentially raised herself and doesn't blame her father, as he had to provide for the family and be gone on the ships for half the year. She never really told her friends what was going on in her life beyond the briefest of detail. She'd rather die than have someone take heavy pity on her. She was raised at Camp Stillwater every summer, since her father was gone, and she naturally started to be a camp counselor when she came of age. She wants to work as a biologist and help the ecosystem thrive. Big time granola girl who wants to save the whales, the ocean, and her small town.
Emerson likes to support those around her and genuinely finds a lot of joy being a leader camp counselor at Camp Stillwater. Emerson can easily disappear into big groups and likes to take a backseat in life. She is humble and is uncomfortable when the spotlight is on her; she genuinely is uncomfortable when it comes to having the attention on her. Emerson is quiet when it comes to her life troubles and she is still not over the death of her mother. She buries her emotions to make room for everyone else's around her and she pretends that she is okay and not at all suffering. She is a closed oyster and tough nut to crack when it comes to getting her to talk about what is going on in her mind. She would much rather talk to others about themselves than about herself. She feels like a ghost and tells herself that it's preferable even though it's all she's known because of family trauma.
Links
GRAND
Emerson's closest and oldest friend. If she knew what having a sibling was like she would say that Grand would be the closest thing to a brother for her. They met at camp as little kids and they cultivated a caring and nurturing relationship with each other, between Grand's life obstacles and Emerson's mother passing. They will always be each other's support system through anything.
LUKE
Luke became Emerson's friend through Grand. She tags along with them all the time and they are now a solid friendship trio. Emerson likes Luke's sensitive and soft side and she loves to encourage him to find more confidence in himself.
LINK
Fellow counselor who gravitated to Emerson. The two get along like two peas in a pod and Emerson is grateful for his quiet, agreeable personality and his sound advice. She really likes to hang out with Link or be assigned to things with him. He is another life long friend of hers and she would hate to lose him.
STREETER
Emerson met Streeter at camp. She noticed how alone he was and that he wasn't the best at making friends or socializing. She would keep tabs on him and make sure he was never left out or made fun of by others. She loves how kids flock to him and how amazing he is around camp. She likes to make Streeter laugh and just gets him. She loves to eat lunch on the docks with him and joke around with their inside jokes. She loves the maps that he shows her as well.
