## Biography

### Early Life

Emily Kaufman was born and raised in the city of Vancouver, Washington as a middle child between a younger brother and elder sister.

    In autumn 2008, Emily began attending Ernest Hemingway Secondary School. It was around this time that Emily met Justin Miller. The two had a distant, yet, flirtatious friendship until Halloween of that year when the two (dressed as *Marilyn Monroe* and *Michael Myers*) drunkenly hooked up at Lynn Clark's costume party, both losing their virginity. After the incident, Justin and Emily reconciled their feelings about what had happened and made the decision to begin dating in secrecy, with the goal of testing the waters of their relationship.

However, news of the pair's one-night-stand had already circulated throughout the school without their knowledge. Justin and Emily's close friends (Lynn, Jake Clemons, Megan Elizabeth, Ethan Webb, and Alysha Walker) would engage in an active effort to get the couple together. Over the next two months, Justin and Emily would go on several private weekly dates while Justin otherwise focused on the school's basketball team and Emily concentrated on her cheerleading routine. The couple would soon reunite in a more serious capacity over the holiday season and in the short period before midterms.

Finally, after much uncertainty, the two publicly confirmed their involvement on Valentine's Day, attending the school's dance in matching red outfits and being crowned as the "Mr. and Ms. Valentine" of 2009.

### Of Cigarettes & Copulation

On December 22nd, 2018, Emily would, by chance, encounter her high school sweetheart one final time while sitting alone at a luxury late-night café in Brooklyn. Jacob, who had arrived in the company of another woman while scouting for info on Anthony Sacchitello, would take a moment to privately catch up with Emily.

Jacob would remain vague and sheltered on the details of his life since departing Seattle, while keenly listening to Emily recount her newfound life as a fashion mogul and high-end design celebrity. As they parted ways, Emily kissed Jacob one last time “for old times sake”, finally recognizing him as Justin Miller and wishing him "the best possible Christmas".

## Personality

The most socially outgoing of the bunch, Emily rarely spends time around the house unless she’s binging on *Netflix* and *Nutella* in sweats. Emily is a very outgoing girl who prefers to use her time going to clubs, parties and meeting new people and new potential lovers, as such her life is very fast-paced and she usually switches boyfriends and jobs every few weeks.

Emily’s eventual goal in life is to become an ethical fashion mogul and design celebrity. Even though she comes off as a real ‘bitch’ (to a degree that rivals Ryley), Emily is simply insecure about herself and uses her high-octane lifestyle as a shield from the outside world. Emily also tends to come off as a real flirt, always attempting to attract the most attractive men she can find.
