== About ==
=== Early Life to Teen Life ===
Emilia Cortez was born in the rural countryside on May 1, 1851 near Dasmarinas, Cavite where she resided under Spanish control and learned how to speak fluent Filipino at an early age due to her parents supporting the resistance. She was taught a handful of Spanish in order to converse with local garrisons and gain the trust of the police. Her duties were mostly cleaning and cooking but also included the infiltration of areas to deliver notes or messages to warring resistance members to support the cause of an independent Philippines. Her older sister had died during the rebellion causing immense guilt and sorrow in her.
=== Military Career ===
She joined the military 3 years after the Empire was founded, at the age of 24 in order to follow the same path as her father who also served as a solder during the 4 year long rebellion. She was able to find close quarters combat her quirk due to the many years of working for her family as an informant to the cause. She joined the Kawit Cavite Regiment (KCR) due to the fact that they are specialized in CQC and the regiment bears the name of her province. She proves to be an above average fighter and has fought in multiple conflicts that the KCR has attended.
=== Early Fall ===
Emilia Cortez was swept up with multiple problems such as stereotypical norms about a woman in the army and the increasing pressure to start a family of her own due to the peer pressure from her parents. The Empire is majorly Christian and the Church has taught many that women belong in the household while men do most of the work. Breaking under the pressure she defected to the Germans in an attempt to escape her fate.
=== Silence ===
The Germans treated her as a POW and proceeded to treat her as no more than a conscript of lower descent. The Germans were harsh and did not treat her with proper respect as her skills in CQC had said for its actions. She escaped the Germans and proceeded to return to The Empire under cover and laying low.
=== Revival ===
Emilia Cortez returns to the Army once she has been informed that her Kill-On-Sight (KOS) has already been removed long ago. Seeing this she rejoins KCR in order to fulfill her role as a Cavitenya and as a proud citizen of the Empire. Sadly, this did not go as it planned. Her tendencies still remained the same and her feelings for the same sex has resulted in many problems. She has proven to be the same despite the years having gone by. She has become an Special veteran, Deputy Minister of Justice and a Lawyer employed by Kabo Gabriel Medina, as she enjoys the company of other Rankers and having more fun and engaging activities over the harsh battles that is faced by the Empire and her Regiment. 
=== Recent Events ===
Gabriel Medina went missing which in turn let her become De Facto Minister until the Kamara election. In the resulting Kamara election Wilhelm Lancelle became the new Minister and she retained her position as Deputy Minister. She recently has taken a political career by joining MASO after the recent controversy with the Allah Party and filling up the 3 vacant seats in the Kamara.
