Emma Tig

Emma Tig is a witch and the former guidance counselor at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted. She appeared in the second episode of the first season of Legacies.
==Early History==
There isn't anything known about her early history except for the fact that she has a childhood fear of bugs, which has persisted throughout her adult life.
Prior to the opening of the Salvatore School, Emma was hired by Alaric as the school's guidance counselor. Her psychology evaluation of Hope Mikaelson initially led Alaric to believe they couldn’t open the school if that meant enrolling Hope. However, she petitioned that was the reason for the school, to help children like her. In her professional opinion, if they screwed up, the decision would likely haunt them for the rest of their lives, but far less than not trying. She reminded him of all the good that Hope is capable of doing under the right guidance.

In A New Hope, Emma returns from Shanghai to find Dorian in the hospital and Alaric by his side. She's furious at Alaric from dragging him into another supernatural-related incident.
In the hall, she confronts Alaric. He tells her that he's not the villain and things just got a little out of hand. Unaware of the truth, Emma berates him for letting another dangerous student into the world and for roping Dorian in to cover it up. This is his pattern and she knows he's drawn to high-risk situations and his gravity, unfortunately, pulls in other people. Alaric isn't in the mood for a therapy session and finds it a bit reductive. Ignoring this, she continues. She believes that the people around him continually put themselves in danger in order to feel close to him, including his daughters, for example. However, Alaric takes a stance to not include his daughters in this talk and lets it slip that Dorian volunteered to help him fight. Alaric let's her believe they were after Wendy, the pyromaniac witch. However, when Dorian's wounds reopen and things become critical, a trauma team enters his room. Alaric comes clean and tells her that Dorian was attacked by a wendigo and if his wound isn't healing, it can only mean that the wendigo isn't dead.
After Dorian becomes stable again, Emma and Alaric continue their talk. Alaric confirms that all wounds have been healed, literally and metaphorically. She's relieved. Continuing with the sentiment, he wants to heal their relationship. He tells her that everything that she told him was true about him and admits that he does place people in dangerous situations. However, the problem is that his daughters are supernatural and to be in their lives, then it's unavoidable, but they're doing it together. However, he makes a comprism with her. If she wants him to keep Dorian out of it, then he'll back off. Emma takes Alaric's words to heart. She'll always be a witch and Dorian will always exist in the supernatural world because of her. For now on, she'll let him decide for himself how deep he wishes to go, but will make sure that he doesn't lie to her about it in the process. She tells him that he's a hard man to quit and leaves him to return to Dorian.
