Emery
 Hey there, you look like a pretty cool dude. What's up? 
'Dude' is a common, default term to everyone she meets - male, female, nonbinary. She never starts off having ill intentions to anyone, neither she appears hostile unless threatened at the very beginning. You find Emery in a cozy little café by her lonesome, but this isn't the first time you've seen her.

In fact, you may have seen her somewhere else, in another restaurant... or two. 

She doesn't mind the company, as everyone she likes to spend time with comfortable is busy for the evening. Though she doesn't feel anywhere near being lonely - the employees sees her more as a friend than a customer. If there was anyone suspicious, she knows the owner has her back.

But you're not there to hang out with her. As nice as she is, you're only there for business.

 Oh, you're the one Nio told me about. Nice, I just got here myself! 
You settle yourself down on the chair, and already an employees comes by to slide over a glass of water and a small cream cake in front of you. It was out of courtesy by Emery, for going out of your way to sit around in a café with her.

"There's a reason why we're here instead of the shop. It's a bit farther from your place than the shop, but we're currently away from... Maximille."

She rolls her eyes. Maximille was her mentor in the tailoring business, and he hasn't chosen anyone else as of right now when it came to mastering the craft. As great as he sounds, Emery assures that his personality is nothing like you'd expect. Any wrong word, and you'd get an earful for no reason. You're worried that your request may be more expensive than you thought, but Emery doesn't mind fiddling with her prices. 

The good thing that Nio told you is that Emery is very nice fellow. However, she cannot be taken advantage of if you ask for more.

 Before we start, what's the deal? Asking me to make a suit in a short period, is kind of pushing it, in my end, at least. Also how'd you meet Nio? 
Emery cares about her friends, as she can't help but wonder your connection. Nio's is an acquaintance you've known at your work - where his family owns the business... and something you cannot go any more detail. Espada for sure understands, as she is close to him enough to know about his background. At least she isn't going to pry about it more.


You explain the situation about an event you MUST attend, and a cheap suit won't cut it. You've spent days jumping from store to store and apparently, there was nothing that was able to fit the criteria for the event. No matter what, it seemed like you had to look your best because your career is on the line. All the tips you earned was enough to get at least the jacket and pants... or that's at least what Nio has told if Emery was willing to give the discount. Soon enough she gives into your plea and she pulls out her tablet with the digital swatches that she will have once the final design is made.

 You like this place? They're my favorite in the whole world. If you want to have comfort in solitude and you don't want to be home... these places are here for you... at the right time. 
She speaks with an almost smug look at her face. She definitely takes pride in knowing almost all of these hidden jewels all over the city. Emery explains that these jewels will get crowded at certain times of the day. Thankfully, it's only a Monday - you won't expect a full group of friends chattering away at the back and playing card games. At most you'll find students, herself included, going outside of their campus to study on their own. It's quiet as of right now - the good kind of quiet.

You enjoy the pastry that Emery bought for your ahead of time. 
A cake that wasn't overwhelmingly sweet - enough for everyone to tolerate. She claims that any of the pastries from these places are enjoyable to eat, unless you decide to order something that's made with nothing BUT chocolate.

Because of the comfort, you find yourself here for almost three hours. Of course, it was because of the design they were discussing, you didn't expect to enjoy yourself despite it being so... peaceful and quiet. 

It was time for you to leave, but Emery decides to stick around a little bit longer until one of her friends is finished with her business. She claims she has nothing to do... though realistically she just wants someone to be by her side.

About

Emery doesn't see this in her own perspective, but she is a young woman filled with potential. Others consider her to be a Prodigy at her age, learning and mastering all sorts of things but she's known for her kindhearted feelings and tolerates just about almost everything.

Among her friends, she is known as the ringmaster. She takes the time and effort to develop the bonds of the people she enjoys being with. Thus, she knows their strengths and weaknesses by heart. If there's something she can't tackle her, then she knows who's most qualified to help her.

She is the apprentice of the well-known bespoke tailor in the Chevalier Couture. Making and designing suits is her joy, and she's rather lucky to do it as a job. She is the favorable one by the customers, but she only claims that her master's work is the best - leaving her tailoring work as second rate... for now.

If you don't find her in the shop or in college, you'll find her in a restaurant somewhere around the city - as she finds joy in delicious food. Her being a city girl, she doesn't like browsing through clothes as the other ones, instead she ventures around exploring the hundreds of restaurants until she's eaten as every single one.

Personality

Emery appears a mature, yet sensible young girl with the desire of becoming stronger in her mental skills. She often prefers to stay away and not cause any sort of conflict. However, with the strong desire to protect her friends and loved ones, especially when they are so important to her, Emery is willing to brave through the obstacles in her as best as she could. All she wants is to be dependable and respectable to anyone and everyone.

She may not be as physically strong as her friends, she knows her own strengths and weaknesses quite well. She often plays it safe with the skillsets she's most comfortable with - which involves her small frame and dexterity.
She appears submissive which she often does to fool her opponents (especially when her size compliments it), she won't hesitate to play the leader when it's necessary. Especially with her large group of friends, she would snap at her friends if they're going too far or they're acting different. This is certainly out of pure worry, and won't want anything to disrupt the harmony among the group. 

One of the things that Espada values greatly is friendship and love - over anything materialistic. Anything involving breakups between two people (especially if it's someone she's close to) makes her become anxious and worried and she already begins to figure out how to mend it all together again.

However, there are times where Emery struggles to portray whatever true feelings she has dwelling within her whenever she believes she has done something wrong. Cases involving it often leads her to breaking drown and isolating herself for lengthy periods of time, pulling up a stone wall around her until someone finally decides to break them down.

Key Details

Emery has Dissociative identity Disorder (DiD, Multiple personality). She doesn't develop this until after the events of the Prodigal. She strictly only has one other identity, [Elois], to which she will awaken when Emery is in a state of shock that should traumatize her, or she is threatened with death. There is a very easy comparison between the two, as Elois is more reserved and closed off - she is protective of her own body, more it's likely she's only being protective of Emery for when she wakes back up.

Emery has no interest in pursuing a relationship with anyone except for Hope. It's only until she gets older where she is introduced to Grandfather, where her relationship switches between him and Hope until it becomes officially polyamory.

"E" is an anonymous nickname that she uses for her food blog. She rarely mentions it but she created a famous tourist-friendly blog dedicated to the restaurants she has visited. She'll be surprised if someone brings this up, but she'll pretend that she has no idea what you're talking about. Not even her friends or family know about this

A tailor's most important tool... aside from scissors. Emery considers herself as an assistant, but everyone considers her as a full-fledged tailor - even her mentors says himself.
Emery loves making clothes for her friends and her loved ones, and almost has a measuring tape in her pocket almost all the time. Many of the times she won't use it for its intended use. Especially when Espada gets mad at her friend or boyfriend, she will likely use the measuring tape and attempt to strangulate them. She's typically harmless most of the time, and could never kill anyone with a single tape.
Emery has plenty of these measuring tapes and it's nothing different if she accidentally drops or leaves one behind. It's an important tool for anyone to use, unless it's broken or stretched out, that is.

Protagonist . Leader . Future

Emery is the protagonist of the Prodigal series. A small, level-headed individual that struggles in understanding what her life appears in the future for her. Although she hold many people dear to her heart, such as family and friends, she feels as if she was left behind. She only wishes to have a bright life and afraid of going around in circles in a world where she will never find a happy ending.

Yet she begins her life with her eyes set on one man: Hope. She never thought she believed in love at first site, but clearly the sight of this teacher made her think otherwise.
His appearance only lead to something even bigger. She didn't understand what Hope saw in her eyes, but there was the inherent potential that made him wholeheartedly believe she had what it takes to become a leader.

I may not have alot of pride and I aspire to be self reliant, but I am at the point where all of that desire won't get me to where I'm at. I feel like I have to wait for something to happen, but I know it's just a trap and waiting will only spell out my own failure. I know it's ultimately up to me to change these things that allow me to move on, but it's just so easy to just stick to what I know offers temporary comfort.

I cannot move without grabbing onto you or my friends. ...How is it that others can do things like this alone? What am I missing that makes me so handicapped from being able to be independent from everyone?


++++++

Emery is a mature and sensible young girl who desires to become stronger, more mental than physical. Generally a neutral being, she doesn't like conflict and would usually not want to perpetuate it. However, since she wants to protect her friends and loved ones from harm, she braves the trials to the best of her ability. More likely she being prudent as a way to distinguish herself from her peers. However, Emery is nowhere as confident as those among the Prodigal, but she works endlessly to overcome it using whatever playful charm she has when playing the Grand Game.
Though she seems to be submissive, she won't hesitate to snap at her friends for acting selfish or slipping with their manners. Espada greatly values the idea of friendship and love than anything materialistic - very anxious and worrisome involving any relationship breakups or any signs of her friends falling apart. She's not too connected with her family, and likely spends most of her time with her friends if she isn't stuck meddling around in her bedroom.

However, there are times where Emery struggles to portray whatever true feelings she has dwelling within her whenever she believes she has done something wrong. Cases involving it often leads her to breaking drown and isolating herself for lengthy periods of time, pulling up a stone wall around her until someone finally decides to break them down.

CHILDHOOD

"I have a friend who is very rich and famous in Asia. Every year he could fly over to see me and he would bring his twin sons. When you were a baby, one of sons would love to hold and take care of you... I always remembered that you were always excited to see him when you were little. And you'd cry for him every time he leaves out the door. You'd find so many creative ways to climb out of your crib just to be with him! That's how you're so clever!"

- Emery's Mother

Emery was born from parents that left the Philippines to pursue the American dream, and met in the wonderful weathered coast in San Diego. She is the second and youngest child of the Espada family. She was a healthy child but born with one single complication: she was born blind on her left eye.

But the difference in her eyes never made her different; she got along with people of her age of all different backgrounds but she mostly found peace with her best friends. She was a decently smart individual who rarely got into trouble, and very much enjoyed going to school just to be with her friends and classmates. In her home, she very much preferred time by herself, drawing and playing games in her awful lonesome.

However Emery rarely remembers much of her early childhood, but her mother always reminds her that there was something important missing about it that she couldn't recall at all.

TEENAGE LIFE

"You might not remember it now, but I've felt compelled to hold you in my arms back when you were a baby. Even now, a wonderful young lady, it doesn't change now. I hope you would let me. Maybe it was meant to be when we've finally saw each other again over fifteen years later."

- Hope

Emery developed an introverted behavior starting from her middle school years and only stuck with two of her friends. She dedicated most of those two years in middle school studying and drawing and found out that socializing was rather a struggle to her in the long run.

Yet in high school she felt that her highly introverted character would discourage her from starting brand new as a freshman. Eventually ignoring her studies led to her making friends with an interesting set of people, but these people that she stuck with all throughout high school eventually became one of the closest people she had in her life. For a while she was in a relationship with a rough and tough upperclassman, but their relationship was broken after they drifted apart. 

At the age of 17, a few months after she broke up with Hyde, under the requirements of her high school, she took this opportunity to volunteer at her old elementary school. From there, she fell upon a very young well-dressed teacher during her volunteer work. She was instantly captivated by his appearance and developed a one-sided crush until he started to notice.
He was rather amused with the whole romantic situation, and only planned to satisfy her with small, short-ended flirts. Yet discovering who she was made him think much different and now he feels as if she made to love him. However, he wanted to start off as friends before waiting a whole year to comfortably pursue a romantic relationship.

ADULTHOOD

"From what I'm seeing. this Elois is protecting her from us, the bitter-faced girl believes Emery's enemy are those that value us as important. We shouldn't have pushed her too hard, now she's scared and too dependent on Elois in this world of ours..."

- Viktor

Her relationship with Hope was official once she turned 18, which was not long before she graduated high school. She wasn't necessarily ready to leave her home and enter the dorm life, thus decided to take it slow in a nearby community college with her friends. She felt as if her life was slow and would eventually turn mute, which highly was concerning for poor Emery and often vented with Hope about the situation. She was introduced into the Prodigal soon after Hope's suggestion to try something new and challenge herself as a personal overall. Hope simply saw Emery as a perfect potential of a leader, but no one else seemed to see it. Hence the amount of pressure put Espada into near psychological stress to a point she isolated herself after her constant failures. 

For more than over a month of near isolation, she came out a brand new person. Whatever psychological damage had done to her merely awakened to what was known as "Elois." Regardless of Elois, Emery was still able to live normally but Elois would be highly regarded in the Prodigal world. Yet sometimes Emery is too reliant on her abilities and completely disregarding those around her.

TLDR

  • Emery was an introvert from elementary to middle school but wanted to start something new in highschool. She made friends and before she graduated her senior year, she fell in love with an elementary teacher named Hope.
  • Hope and Emery eventually get into a relationship and Hope introduces her to the Prodigal to help further her skills.
  • The Prodigal was too stressful for her to handle as an administrative member and thus isolated herself for a long period of time until she developed a second personality known as "Elois."
  • Elois is a cold-hearted individual who often pushed away Emery's loved ones, believing that they were in the way of Emery's future goals and her progress as a prestigious member of the Prodigal.
