## Early Life

Emma is the daughter of Camilla and Vito who the former thought perished in the prison fire. In reality, she was saved by the female warden and was raised as her own. She grew up in a very impoverished lifestyle and was often subject to violent abuse by her stepfather. When Emma was a child, her mother left her outside the church and she spent days around the area as an orphan and beggar. She eventually crossed path with Camilla who unbeknownst to each other, are each others' family. Having pitied Emma's state, Camilla brought her home and eventually decided to raise her.

As a teenager, Emma grew up to be beautiful and had lots of suitors in school. She was already accustomed to her life, fluently speaking in English and doing well in her studies. However, due to Camilla's heavy distrust to the world, she was not allowed to indulge in a normal lifestyle growing up, often telling Emma not to trust men, and others, and that she could only depend on herself, that is why she has to be the best and the smartest so no one could take advantage of her. Aside from pouring much of her time in academics, Emma was also trained by her adoptive parents extensive self-defense methods, like hand-to-hand combat and accurate gun-firing so that she would be able to stand up for herself, something she was able to use against her bullies and enemies in the future.

After graduating from college, Camilla began training Emma in the nature of their business, hoping to one day take the helm in managing it. Additionally, when Fabio was away abroad for business, Emma joined Camilla hatched a plot in taking revenge and figuring out the real identity of the suspects responsible for ruining Camilla's life.

Emma is also an artistic performer showcasing a very good singing voice and acting prowess. Despite a short amount of time preparing with Camilla, she was able to deliver such an incredible and convincing performance and acting that most of the people in Las Espadas, such as cunning personalities like Luciano Dela Torre, believed that she was actually being possessed by Camilla.
