## Biography

### Background

Most of Em's previous life is not known to the residents of Frostvale besides their ventures to multiple towns as a traveling merchant.

### Arrival In Frostvale

Em arrived to the town during a time of panic for the townsfolk. She was quickly introduced before being rushed into the currently in progress bunker to hide from an attacking dragon. After the chaos settled, she set up her cart in town to begin her baking business. Not long after, she created Em's Food Bank and Homeless Shelter, which gives out free food, tools, armor, and weapons to new village members.

### God of Tides

Em used their skills as a ranger and potions expert to craft various types of tipped arrows to be used by the town in multiple fights, such as the fight against the Ender Dragon and the final battle with the God of Tides. She participated in the raiding of the Umbral Citadel when the Umbral Crossbow was originally found. She began to build trust between herself and multiple other villagers through their selfless acts with the shelter. While she was unable to participate herself in the final battle against the God of Tides due to a raging case of sea sickness, she heavily contributed to the fight with her amble stock of tipped arrows, food, and potions. After the defeat of their foe at the Hurricane Palace, she helped throw a party at the local tavern.

### Intermission

Em began a bit of a business relationship with DJ, another member of the town. After their exile for releasing Adam, she continued to supply him with items he requires for money. This relationship continued until DJ's demise soon after. Em was one of the members to partake in the Trials created by The Deviser, gaining much loot from it. Her baking business and reputation begins to decline due to rumors started by supporters of Butterfield that she poisons her food. She attended the funeral of the Collective and was present during the resurrection of the Archisnow. She was understandably spooked by the spirit of DJ's attendance along with their painful return to their resting place.

### Season of Dread

Em was present during the first ghast incursion in the village and found the message 'Know Your Dread' within the proving grounds. She begins late nights of research and work both looking into this problem and to refill her dwindling supply of ammunition. She began business with Callan, the local blacksmith, buying absurd amounts of Netherite off them. Em purchases a Falcon named Hyde from Pumpkin Head, which she regularly keeps on her shoulder when walking around town. She later obtains multiple different birds, including Aurora the Hawk. She purchased multiple magical items from Pumpkin Head before the revelation they were allied with the being known as Sorrow. She participated in defending the villages from multiple ghast attacks and helped in the ritual which led to the ascension of Nerp.

### Deviser's Clone

Em is less active within Frostvale after the end of the previous arc. Having become ill from a nasty cut by a Wither Skeleton, she mostly stays within her home to rest. While other townsfolk insist that she should get real medical attention, Em claims that she can handle it herself. Even while sick, she does assist in the removal of a shadowy curse within the town. She takes place in the second raid on the Deviser's laboratory, assisting in reclaiming their stolen book and watching the confrontation between Adam and Mal'Gorax.

I mean, if this plan fails, selling my soul is still on the table...

Oh, and never eat at that Butterfield's place, it's vile and disgusting.
