==Appearance==
===Physical===
Lithe and slender of body build with a bust that is barely larger than small, Emily Sarling cuts a rather striking figure with her excellent posture and smooth movements. She rarely makes a move that does not seem natural, as though she has practiced her entire life at making her body glide. Her teeth always seem to be perfect, except for her rather shocking canines. Her face is lovely but firm, like she is used to people following her orders. She seems to be human, though her soft butterscotch eyes have a tendency to switch to gleaming gold when her smile fades with such sharp speed as to bring fear to even the toughest warriors - though they rarely understand why until it it is too late.
===Attire===
*Casual: Black jeans (made of a blend derived from Kevlar), a deep red V-neck tee, and a leather jacket (also made of a blend that is stronger than it looks). Black tennis shoes (or similar running shoes). Sometimes ties her hair back into a tail. Often keeps the bracer on her left arm. 
*Combat: Soft black cloth is layered with silently flexible kev-leather, which is in turn augmented by segmented black carbonized adamantium plates to cover vital and weak points on both her top and bottoms (both long-sleeved/legged). Supple black combat boots of similar material and plating. Sometimes accompanied by her black or dark-brown "leather" jacket. She has a specialized bracer on her left arm. 
*Formal: A long royal-purple dress over fitted healed boots, often accompanied by various jewels. She keeps her bracer if wearing long sleeves - otherwise, she wears little to no armour. 
*Other: Emily has a necklace made form a Warg Grimm's fang that she wears at all times, and a bracelet made of numerous small silver crosses that she favors. 
==Background History==
Emily Sarling is a direct descendant of the ruler of one of the nations that were initially conquered or absorbed by the Order Alliance in the first war. Following that line does not lead to much now, except for an instance just one generation back, where one will find that her mother was roughly halfway through transforming into a full Feral when Emily was born. Emily's father was the one to kill her mother before fleeing to protect her from the Order, though he fell into insanity along the way.
Her father's insanity led him to raise her closer to the old regal methods, knowledge he retained from the memories of his own parents. As a result, she knows very well how to get what she wants from whom she wants - or who she wants - outright. 
After her father's death, she attended the Acadamy for several years, and quickly rose through the ranks of Hunters. 
Thanks to a chance encounter between Emily and Arius, the woman is now working with the Guardian Remnants for as long as their goals aid hers.
==Personality==
Emily is knows how to get what she wants, be it by coercion, intimidation, or arm-twisting (physical or otherwise). She is a proud individual, and holds herself with queen-like grace. She is not a very good liar, but her skill with manipulation is such that she rarely needs to tell anything but the truth - however partial. She is as passionate in pursuing her goals as she is in pursuing her targets, and quite persistent. Emily enjoys finding the signs of fear in people, and is an expert at reading all forms of body language.
She enjoys violence, blood, and anything sexual in nature, though avoids killing except for Grimm and those who "deserve it" in her eyes, or whose lives would be a hindrance to her own. She is lazy when it comes to menial tasks (paperwork, cleaning, etc), preferring to get someone else to do it for her. Despite this, she is not afraid to dirty her hands in fieldwork. She has a somewhat annoying habit of nicknaming people.
==Equipment==
=== Weapons ===
==== Ebonthirst ====
*Wielder: Emily Sarling
*Origin: Based on very heavily modified designs for a Predator Bow.
*Type: Collapsible High-tensile/compressive Blade Bow (CHBB)
*Form 1: A matte black compound longbow made of an amalgam of normally incompatible materials, with an incredibly strong (and rare) mono-filament string. 
*Transformation Process: The bowstring winds up into a spool canister at the bottom of the bow, and the handle twists, revealing a button that can be depressed to split the two arms of the bow to part. The spool can be pulled up along the inside of the bottom arm to rest at the point where the pieces once joined. Then, with the application of pressure to certain other trigger points, the pieces of the bow fold and slide back to reveal the blades' edges. The entire transformation process of each arm can be done one-handed with ease of practice.
*Form 2: A pair of matched single-edged curved blades, also matte black, one of which has a wire (the bowstring) attaching it to the bracer on Emily's left arm.
*Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Though the blades can be hung at her back using the same device as the bow, it normally folds into its travel mode and hangs at Emily's back.
*Travel Transformation: The spool at the bottom slides up to the middle, slacking the string somewhat and acting as a hinge to fold the bow around. The bow then hangs from an attraction device on the belt, normally on the back of the hips, though it can be hung on a single hip.
*Usage: While Emily is quite skilled with Ebonthirst in their dual-blade form, her bladework is no match for her long-ranged archery. With Ebonthirst in its bow form, she can perform feats at a range that should be impossible. The monofiliment string and alloy branches are completely silent when the bow is drawn unless held for too long, making it perfect for stealthy use. 
*Planned/Possible Upgrades: 
*Notes: The bow's draw strength is abnormally high even for a weapon of its type - Emily can only draw it thanks to her part-Feral heritage. If held for long enough, the bow starts to emit a noise that sounds very similar to singing, at which point the arrow will reach its maximum possible range.
== Abilities ==
Emily's part-Feral heritage grants her increased strength and agility, as well as low-light vision and a heightened sense of smell. (Despite this, she cannot quite match the acrobatics and balance of full-blood Lilmothiits.) 
Her lineage leaves her with a taste for fresh blood, which she can ingest to hasten her natural regeneration process as long as it is compatible with her own blood type. Normally, Emily refrains from taking the blood of anyone classified as an ally, sticking to enemies and neutral parties. Her metabolism is heightened significantly, though she can go a standard amount of time (for humans) without food or water.
She possesses a somewhat small amount of basically-trained Aura.
=== Semblance ===
Shadow Pull
Emily has limited control over shadows, being able wrap them around herself and a small radius nearby to aid her stealth. The shadow veil created in such a way has a no effect on her, but on others, it can induce an easily-suggestible state that lets her manipulate the target into doing what she wants them to. The veil itself has a low Aura cost, but using it for suggestion takes more.
In theory, if she had enough massive Aura crystals on hand, Emily could use Shadow Pull's suggestion on quite a vast area.
Emily does not often use the suggestion part of her semblance.
==Skills==
Emily has some training in Aura use, though she does not know how to channel it properly. The most she can manage is a passive shield which is also strengthened based on her recent blood intake.
She is skilled with dual blades, but far more so with her bow, to the point that she can hit targets at ranges normally considered impossible with such a weapon.
A highly skilled negotiator and seductress, Emily prefers to reach her goals through non-violent means if plausible. This is not out of any kindness, but rather a desire for challenge (which she often fails to find anyway). 
==Fighting Style==
When settling for a fight, Emily will stay at long range in the shadows and take down enemies from stealth as much as possible. Only if she is discovered does she draw her blades and start to "dance". She is quite fond of hiding in trees and other high places, and has been known to use her bowstring as a garrote. 
==Weaknesses==
Her naturally low-light vision makes her photosensitive, and her low Aura makes her weak against physical attacks. She largely makes up for her weakness with armour, but in close combat she can run out of stamina rather quickly. Luckily, she can restore it with blood, and that weakness does not extend to the bedroom (or so she insists).
==Relationships/Associations==
*The Order Alliance/Arcadian Empire - Emily holds them in great disdain, and blames them for what happened to her family.
*The Guardian Remnants - Currently allied, though as a Huntress she is not an official member.
*Nomadic Tribes - As is the case with most Hunters, she has a passing familiarity with many of the nomadic groups, and tries not to kill any of them.
*Arius - She knows he does not trust him, but she tolerates his distrust with a remarkable amount of understanding, knowing that he knows her true nature. They met by chance right before all three of them sided with the Remnants.
*Arctura - The two are on friendly terms, though their differing personalities sometimes cause issues. They have been involved in several trysts together.
*Winter - More rivals than friends, the two frequently compete over who is stronger, faster, more skilled, or better in bed - often in very physical ways. That being said, they get along fairly well, and work well together in the field.
*Kami - Emily has little interest in the younger girl, beyond her being close to Winter and Arctura making her worthy of protecting.
*Fuller - Emily has known Fuller since her time at the Academy. They are fairly well acquainted, and well practiced at working together, leading to mutual respect between them.
