Ema Maple

Ema Maple is one of the playable characters from Hope Without A Cause, and often considered the main character.
Ema is a first-time offender and the inmates are quick to label her as the newbie as she doesn't know the ropes around the prison and is still trying to find her place.
==History==
Ema lived a simple little life before getting caught up in a drug trade and be found by the police. Ema recieved a one-year sentence for only offending the law once and not being apart of a major scheme.
Upon arrival at Morlano Prison, Ema is quick to be harrassed by the other inmates and labelled the newbie. On her first day she looks around for friends but ends up sitting by herself. Ema finally ends up finding a friend in Belfast, who seems like the only other rational person in the prison. They both sit off in the corner watching all the zany things going on. Belfast doesn't really talk much and the two don't really do much in their time. Ema asks if Belfast can teach her the ways around the prison, which he just shakes his head to.
It doesn't take long however for Ema to realise Belfast isn't as normal as she thinks, and Ema ends up ditching Belfast and joining in on the white clique, which she really doesn't want to do as she hates to be apart of this racist setting.
She befriends the people of the white clique, continues her sentence being their friends, and in return they teach her the ropes around the prison which Belfast didn't do. The white clique eventually build a hatred for Belfast which escalates into a bet to kill him.
Ema uses her persuasion to get the others to stop the bet but they don't seem to listen, so Ema takes matters into her own hands and keeps Belfast safe from the white clique until things have rolled over, or unless she fails and Belfast ends up dead.
After Ema saves Belfast, the guards seem to be relunctant towards Ema and nicer then they are to the rest of the inmates, which infuriates everyone else. The other inmates begin making up rumours and spreading stories about Ema, which she tries to prove false but everyone continues on these stories.
==Physical Description==
Ema is white and has long blonde hair which she often puts up in a bun. Her eyes are a light blue color, and she is only ever seen wearing the typical prison clothing.
Ema is known to be quite tall amongst the rest of the women in the prison, and quite thinner with less muscle or fat then the rest of the inmates.
