Emily was born Experiment #104 in a blacker-than-black lab operated by one of Tír na nÓg's great families. She was raised as a new kind of warrior - one who could be mass produced at will with superhuman speed. Suffice it to say that the program did not meet expectations. Emily, however, awakened and was deemed valuable enough to be taught magic in the ways of the Path of the Wheel. She was, after all, capable of being a Follower. During her brief formal education, she found herself drawn to following the Path of the Warrior. This held little surprise for her tutors, though her secret connection with a mentor spirit would have shocked them. Dragonslayer whispered to her, igniting a desire for freedom.  
Emily was born to a poor single mother in Tír na nÓg. Before her first birthday, her mother was offered a hundred-thousand punt payment for her child. Why is something she has struggled to understand ever since she learnt how she came to be in the care of one of Tír na nÓg's great families. Surely her magical talent - strong though it was - couldn't have been all it was. Perhaps there was something else there, something she couldn't see. Still, she was taken in and educated in the ways of the Path of the Wheel. She was, after all, capable of being a Follower.

At the tender age of fourteen, she managed to slip away during a training trip near the coast. Stowing away on a fishing boat, she soon found herself alone on the Scottish coast. Making her way south, she traded her magical skills for meagre pay, food, and shelter. Her creators dogged her steps at every turn, but she managed to stay one step ahead of them at every turn. Still, they managed to ensure she never stayed in one place for too long. Soon enough she was running across the channel to France. She hopes that being on the other side of the Atlantic might give her a little breathing room. All she has from her time in Europe is a nickname - Scarecrow -, a nice suit, and her gloves.

Background

Emily was born to a poor single mother in Tír na nÓg. Before her first birthday, her mother was offered a hundred-thousand punt payment for her child. Why is something she has struggled to understand ever since she learnt how she came to be in the care of one of Tír na nÓg's great families. Surely her magical talent - strong though it was - couldn't have been all it was. Perhaps there was something else there, something she couldn't see. Still, she was taken in and educated in the ways of the Path of the Wheel. She was, after all, capable of being a Follower. During her brief formal education, she found herself drawn to following the Path of the Warrior. This held little surprise for her tutors, though her secret connection with a mentor spirit would have shocked them. Dragonslayer whispered to her, igniting a desire for freedom.

At the tender age of fourteen, she managed to slip away during a training trip near the coast. Stowing away on a fishing boat, she soon found herself alone on the Scottish coast. Making her way south, she traded her magical skills for meagre pay, food, and shelter. Her creators dogged her steps at every turn, but she managed to stay one step ahead of them at every turn. Still, they managed to ensure she never stayed in one place for too long. Soon enough she was running across the channel to France. She hopes that being on the other side of the Atlantic might give her a little breathing room. All she has from her time in Europe is a nickname - Scarecrow -, a nice suit, and her gloves.

Appearance

A tall, athletic Elf with stark white hair and distinctive facial scaring. She usually wears an armoured suit, as that's the only decent piece of clothing she owns. She has a pair of intricately decorated gloves - for channelling her magic. She also has a necklace with an amulet, inscribed with words relating to her path in Sperethiel. Her magic tends to manifest as silvery energy.

Chummer has bugged out and is insisting I deserve both the magician and adept bonuses for Mentor's mask. That's what the unspent powerpoint is from.
