Emiah is normally described as someone with the looks of an angel.

Emiah doesn’t like making fashion statements and prefers to dress down and be comfortable, when she is working her waitressing job she wears jeans, long sleeved tops no matter the season and converse shoes. Whilst she is working her illegal night time job Emiah simply dresses in black flexible pants, a long sleeved black top, black gloves as well as black boots and a black beanie.

swallow your pride with your hate*

PERSONALITY:

Emiah is the kind of girl who likes to be in the background of things, she doesn’t speak up and isn’t outspoken much. Unless it comes to her little sister than she will speak out and she will stand up for her. She is a bit rough around the edges from her upbringing in a criminal family and being bounced around foster families for a few years. But, even with those things, Emiah is still a sweet and shy seeming girl. She would rather stand back and observe people for a little while before jumping in and being their friends, Emiah prefers to take her time getting to know people and always has an escape route planned when she feels that people are getting too close to her. She is the kind of girl who is good at keeping secrets and looking after herself and her sister without much help from other people. Emiah is not the kind of girl to ask someone for help though, she would rather try and struggle through before reaching out to someone to have them fix her problems.

LIKES:

Chocolate, croissants, her sister Claire, helping her sister, good looking men, late nights, the feeling of rain on her skin, the crisp feeling of winter, curling up on the couch with Claire, late afternoon thunderstorms, being called Le Minuit Ange.

DISLIKES:

People bugging her, her sister being threatened by anyone, the idea Claire might take back up the family business, not knowing where Nate is, failing a con/score, someone taking a job from under her, people bossing her around, people trying to get close to her, talking to the police, the smell of cooking bacon.

SECRETS:

She once got a postcard from her brother Nate while her parents were still alive but she didn't tell them about it and she keeps it hidden so than Claire can't see it.

FEARS:

That Claire will take the family business back up when she is older, that she will never find out where Nate has been for years and she is scared one day she will slip up and the police will arrest her and Claire will go back into foster care.

DREAMS:

To see Claire grow up and successful and to have a collage degree.

STRENGTHS:

Is good at conning people, can pick locks and pockets effortlessly, knows how to cover her tracks, can take care of herself, knows when to stay away from a job, she loves Claire to pieces.

WEAKNESSES:

Her sister Claire, she doesn't let people into her life, she's always worrying about getting the job done right, good looking men, chocolate.

`your last breath, your last stance
the last of all in your command*

HISTORY:

Emiah was born in Paris whilst her parents were holidaying in her father's home, her older brother Nate thought she was cute and helped care for her. But there was always something different about Emiah's family, see they didn't go for normal outings like most families; instead their outings consisted Emiah and her brother being distractions whilst their parents preformed heists. They were raised to be thieves. But that didn't change the fact that their parents were loving and kind and always taught their children to only take what didn't belong to others and not to steal just to gain something. Sometimes that was easier said than done, especially when Emiah was ten and doing distractions while carrying her two year old sister around. Often she got sticky fingers and put to practice what her father taught her, how to pickpocket and she would often come home with treasures filling her little pockets like random keys from the pockets of passerbys and lose coins that were rattling around pants pockets.

When Emiah turned twelve Nate packed a single bag and left the family while they were in Europe doing a job, their parents couldn't find him after a couple of weeks and had lost complete contact with him. Not long after the family moved to New York City where they continued to pull small scores to stay under the radar from police and international agencies. But tragedy stuck one winter when Emiah had just turned thirteen, her and Claire were staying with their father's grandmother when their parents were killed in a car accident. The girls lived with their great grandmother for a few months before she became ill and had to place the girls in foster care as she couldn't get a hold of Nate.

Emiah and Claire were lucky enough to stay together whilst being bounced around foster homes, they normally only last a couple of months before being moved on as the foster family would find money and small pieces of jewelry missing and the pieces would end up in Emiah's and Claire's belongings. When Emish turned seventeen the girls were separated as the agency wasn't able to find a foster home that could cater to having the two of them in the same place, but Emiah made sure she saw and talked with her sister regularly so than she knew Emiah hadn't abandoned her as she didn't want her to feel sad about not being with Emiah. In her final year of schooling Emiah spoke with the agency and her foster parents about getting a job, she persuaded them to allow her to submit paperwork to pull out of school and picked up a job working as a waitress. But what her foster family and the agency didn't know was that Emiah had also started pulling scores again at night to make some more money when she told her foster parents she was at work.

The scores started off as small B&Es where she would only take small amounts of cash and jewelry she could quickly sell off, but she wanted to get back into the game so she could make more money so she could save up for trying to get custody of Claire when she turned eighteen and so she could send her to collage. Over a few months Emiah began to make a name for herself among those of her craft, people started to refer to her as Le Minuit Ange, The Midnight Angel. They called her that since people said she was a beautiful thief who looked like an angel and often pulled her jobs at midnight, Emiah grew a small clientele of questionable souses to make sure she also had jobs to do but she always stuck to her families ideals. They didn't just steal anything for a profit, they only stole previously stolen goods and returned them to their original owners for a fee.

On her eighteenth birthday Emiah packed the single bag she had with all of her things in it and moved into the small apartment she had bought the week before with the help of her foster parents, that same day she applied for custody of Claire. When she managed to get custody of Claire she was overjoyed to have her little sister back in her care and made sure she made the effort of taking Claire to and from school and helping her with her homework every afternoon while still working her legitimate job of a waitress during the day and pulling heists at night. Even though Emiah was careful while she worked her night job sometimes she was caught on camera near the places she took things from and the police would come to her apartment and question her about it but they could never make anything stick against her.

When Emiah turned twenty she packed up her and Claire and moved them both of Essex, New Jersey as Emiah hadn't been getting much work from her night job and also wanted a slightly change of pace.

FAMILY LIFE:

Jessica Lowood: mother/deceased
Jean Lowood: father/deceased
Blair Lowood: great grandmother/ deceased


Nate Lowood: brother/28/unknown
Claire Lowood: sister/12

OTHER:

The reason the police, and international agencies which were also looking into her because of her families knack of being near expensive pieces of work before they went missing, was because Emiah hired the best lawyers with money her parents had left for her from all of their scores and cons they pulled while they had been alive. They had left enough money for the girls to live the lifestyle of the rich but Emiah was never that kind of girl and she didn't like being in the spotlight. The foster agency could never track down Nate and it seemed as if he had just dropped off the face of the earth but Emiah devotes what little free time she has to putting a file together to find her brother as she wanted to know what happened to him. She carries around an old family photo with her everywhere of the whole family together because it reminds her of happier times, Emiah also carries a postcard with her that Nate sent to Emiah, she never told anyone about the postcard and keeps it in her wallet. She would also do anything to protect her little sister Claire.
