**“Don’t block out the hard times, use them to keep moving forward.” Emma - Andi Cruz**

**Personality**

Emma is known for her loyalty towards her loved ones and friends, and her heart of gold. She is also quite protective of those she cares about. Emma is also goal-oriented.

**Magic life**

Emma was born with a special magic-producing gene. A gene strong enough to handle a powerful type of magic called “the chosen magic.” The chosen magic had to be transferred into her body, and this is what made her the chosen-one. Emma came into her regular magic at just a few days old and was immediately implanted with the chosen magic. Without the chosen one magic, Emma is now an ordinary level 10 Full-Witch. Emma was the chosen one until her thirties when she passed the title and chosen magic on to her daughter through a power transfer spell. Her magic-guardian is Lily Foster.

**Past**

Emma’s story started off as a very happy one. She lived in a safe home with two loving parents and a foster-sister who was her best friend. Emma was closest to her mother, one activity they enjoyed doing together was scrapbooking, something Emma continued to do after her mother’s death in memory of her. Like her father, Emma also had good math skills. One day in early July in the year 2000, Emma life’s drastically changed. While home alone with her mother they were attacked by a witch named Erica who was after Emma. Maria’s only priority was protecting Emma and this took all of her strength. Emma managed to escape thanks to her mother but Maria’s life was taken by the witch. The last thing she saw before Erica took her life was her daughter escaping through the portal. Maria’s death was very hard for Emma to handle.

Since Emma was no longer living with a parent who had magic and she was the right age the council forced Emma to attend W.I.T.S Academy for her magic education two months after her mother's death. She attended the Academy for four years alongside her cousin Maddie. It was mentioned Emma had a hard time at first as she was still coping with the loss of her mother, and Maddie often had to drag her out of bed and look after her. Sometimes, Maddie even completed Emma’s school work so she did not fall behind. She and Maddie graduated from the Academy in June of 2004.

As a teenager, Emma had the weight of the magical world on her shoulders while attempting to be a normal teenage girl. After graduating from the Academy at fourteen, Emma spent the summer of 2004 going through her chosen one training. She was trained by the former chosen one, Ava Rueda. She then started high school at Iridium. At the same time, she finally took on her chosen-one obligations. During ninth grade, Emma and Maddie drifted apart. Emma started dating Jax Novoa. Also in ninth grade, Emma used her magic to bring a virtual zombie Andi was attached to out of the game to save him from being killed by Jax. From then on, she helped Andi keep the zombie a secret from the council.

Emma found out she was pregnant when she was only fifteen. She wasn’t happy about it and was scared about what the future would be like for the baby. At first, Emma tried to pretend she wasn’t pregnant but soon had to face it. The pregnancy put a huge strain on her relationship with her father and caused her boyfriend to end their relationship. Emma struggled to decide what the best decision was but eventually chose to keep the baby after being invited to live with Lily. Later on, Emma and Jax got back together and Emma surrounded herself around the other pregnant girls for comfort and support. This helped her greatly through the last few months of her pregnancy. In mid April of 2006, just a week or two after her sixteenth birthday, Emma gave birth to her daughter: Jessica Maria Novoa. (Jessie for short.)

Emma often worried about her daughter’s life and safety while she was growing up. Though Emma loved being a mother and enjoyed raising her daughter, she knew she never wanted to have another child. Scared her job would put her daughter and any other children she had in danger or worse. Emma treated Jessie like an adult since a young age, she talked to her about grown-up things that other parents may want to shield their children from. Emma believed her daughter shouldn’t grow up believing the world was kind and safe and that nothing bad could ever happen to her. When Jessie was a teenager, Emma often felt lost when trying to guide her daughter through those rough years. She didn’t always know what the best move was and found it hard to find a balance between letting her grow up but not too much too fast. While Jessie was small, Emma was often away from home because of her job, so she didn’t get to see her daughter all that much, in Jessie’s teenage years it was the opposite.
