Emma Rose McKenzie
Nicknames: Em, Emmy
Age: 29
Birthday: February 18
Birthplace: Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland
Current Home: Surrey, England
Alma Mater: Hogwarts - Gryffindor
Profession: Auror
Wand: beechwood and phoenixfeather, 9 1/4 inches
Pet: an eagle owl named Athena, a pure white kitten named Arya
Broomstick (applies to Quidditch Players only): Still owns her Firebolt from her Quidditch playing days at Hogwarts
Patronus: a dolphin
Boggart: the bloodied corpse of her mother
Blood: pureblood
Looks: Emma has very blonde, long hair that she usually doesn't have time to style and therefore is kept in a wavy state. She has deep blue eyes and is fair skinned, always freckling or sunburning instead of tanning. She stands at approximately 5'5" and has an athletic, slender build from her Quidditch playing days and Auror training.
Personality: Emma personifies a true Gryffindor; brave, loyal and fierce. She is competitive, which was shown both when she played Quidditch at Hogwarts and when she's out in the field as an Auror, and is too stubborn to admit to defeat. Little things annoy her, but it takes a lot to make her truly angry, which can be terrifying to behold. To strangers she comes off as an outgoing and vivacious young adult, and her friends know her fierce loyalty and truthfulness, almost to a point of fault. She'll risk her life to help save someone else, which is the main motivation to her becoming an Auror
Likes: Quidditch, her family & friends, her job, her house, her pets
Dislikes: Rudeness, imperfections, smoking, belittlers and soda
Fears: being fired, losing the trust of her family or friends

History: Emma is the first child of Aidan McKenzie and Grace Stuart, former Hogwarts students who surprisingly did not have the same love story as many students did at their time. Grace and Aidan were acquainted and got along well, but romance was the last thing on either of their minds, no matter if there had been any spark of attraction or not. Aidan was devoted to becoming a Herbologist, and spent most of his free time in the greenhouses, while Grace trained relentlessly in order to get a tryout with one of Scotlands' Quidditch teams. Since Aidan was Irish and Grace Scottish, upon their graduation they did not believe they'd ever see each other again. For almost ten years, they didn't; Aidan was constantly traveling all over the world studying the vast variety of magical plants, while Grace won a position with the Pride of Portree as a Chaser. During a game ten years after graduation, Puddlemere United's beater smashed a Bludger in Grace's direction. Her focus on the goalposts caused her to not see the ball whizzing towards her, and it knocked into her stomach, causing her to fall off her broom and into the stands of spectators. She had broken three ribs and was unconscious. Aidan happened to be attending the game with a friend, ran down and recognized his former classmate. He brought out a soothing paste made from magical plants to ease the pain in her ribs before she was transported to St. Mungos. When she awoke, she was surprised to see him standing over her anxiously. While she was on ordered bedrest, they exchanged stories of the past ten years, each more fascinating than the last. After she was released, Grace asked Aidan to come to dinner with her as a thank you. As they put it, the rest is history.
Aidan had proposed to Grace after eight months of dating. Two weeks before they were to be married, Grace discovered that she was pregnant. They chose to wait until after the wedding to tell their families, so that it would seem their firstborn was a honeymoon baby. Emma was born three weeks early in February, much to the alarm of her grandparents. Grace finally explained that she had gotten pregnant before the wedding and wanted to keep the child a surprise. Emma was a good baby, quiet and small, which was expected with a premature baby. To Grace and Aidan's surprise, just five months after Emma she was expecting again, and gave birth to twins Nicole and Elisa just two days after Emma's first birthday. Their fourth and final child, a boy named Samuel was born four years later, when Emma was five.
Emma showed signs of magic at the young age of three, when during a tantrum she made her mother's teacup explode. At seven, she was able to blow the leaves in their yard around in a mini-cyclone while she spun in the middle, delighted. When she turned eleven as expected she received her Hogwarts letter. She was Sorted into Gryffindor house, and quickly became friends with Rihanna Santini, a fellow student and dormmate. She tried out for and became a reserve Chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, moving up to starter in her third year. It was then that she and Rihanna made friends with Kattre Bevan and Ashley Riley, a Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff the year below them. Emma's sixth year gave her the Quidditch captaincy she had coveted so much, and in her seventh year she was named Head Girl. She and Rihanna graduated Hogwarts that summer and embarked on the adventure to become an Auror. For training, they were sent to the Gobi Desert for six months, not allowed to communicate with the outside world. Upon their return, they were delighted to find that Kat and Ashley had chosen to become Aurors as well. Now, seven years after leaving Hogwarts, they are level two Aurors. She currently lives with Kat, Rihanna and Ashley in this apartment
