The following page contains **spoilers** for *Raziel's Daughter.*

**Emilia Rose Lightwood (neé Mikaelson-Salvatore)** is the main female protagonist of *Raziel's Daughter**.*

At the beginning of the book, Emilia appears to be a hybrid, but is then revealed to be a tribrid in *Unfinished Business*. In *Ave Atque Vale*, she is resurrected in her original hybrid form.

Emilia is best friends with her sire/adoptive brother, Kol Mikaelson, her sister-in-law/parabatai, Isabelle Lightwood, Magnus Bane, and her husband, Alec Lightwood. She is also close friends with her sister-in-law, Davina Claire, Clary Fray, Jace Herondale, and Simon Lewis.

## **Background**

Emilia was born on October 23, 1855 to Giuseppe and Lillian Salvatore. She spent the first 9 years of her life growing up in Mystic Falls, alongside her maternal half-brothers, Damon and Stefan Salvatore.

As a child, she formed a close relationship and looked up to her brothers' former girlfriend, Katherine Pierce, who would tell her bedtime stories, do her hair, and help her get dressed.

In September 1864, she was sent away to live with Emily Bennett's distant relatives in New Orleans by Damon and Stefan, after Katherine suggests that they do so. For the next 9 years, Emilia grows up and lives under the watch of the New Orleans Witches.

On the night of her 18th birthday, Emilia overhears young witches discussing a party in the French Quarter, and sneaks out to attend it. She briefly encounters Kol Mikaelson, before being dragged away and locked up in her room by the witches. When Kol comes to visit the witches to ask questions about his inability to compel her, Emilia finds out that the witches have been using her to harness power to create a diamond that could be turned into a dagger that could be used against Klaus.

Out of hate for the witches and fear of the Mikaelsons, Emilia runs away, and ends up encountering the Crescent Wolf Pack in the bayou. They willingly offer to help her, before discovering her wolf mark and realizing she was a part of the North East Atlantic Pack. In complete paranoia, the Crescent Wolf Pack holds her hostage and tries to torture "the truth" out of her. Emilia, however, manages to escape death, when the pack gets word that the witches are searching for her. The wolves, then, tried to use her as leverage against the witches, and agreed to hand her over to them if they promised to make them moonlight rings.

On the night that the witches planned to create the moonlight rings and finish the diamond, Kol and Klaus Mikaelson ambushed and massacred them at the church. Emilia fought alongside them, sick of being tossed around and used for other people's selfish gains, and was soon taken in by the Mikaelson family, who welcomed her with open arms.

In the following 5 years, Marcel grows to hate Emilia as she becomes extremely close with each of the Mikaelsons. When it is revealed that Emilia is actually blood-related to Klaus, she takes on the last name "Mikaelson", pushing Marcel over the edge.

In November 1878, the night before Mikael comes into town, Marcel tries to kill her, but fails to do so when Kol interferes. Out of spite and anger, the Mikaelsons disown Marcel. The following day, they encounter Mikael in the theater, and in an attempt to fight alongside the Mikaelsons, Emilia dies with Kol's blood in her system.

## **Personality**

Emilia is compassionate, independent, empathetic, friendly, intelligent, and has absolutely no tolerance for those who hurt her loved ones.

While being raised by the Mikaelsons, she picked up many of their traits. She's honorable like Elijah and always lives up to her word, stubborn like Rebekah, the life of the party like Kol, and much like her paternal, older half-brother, Klaus, she has a short fuse and can be quite cruel when she wants to be. She is also kind and caring like Stefan, and reckless like Damon.

Emilia values family, friendship, and loyalty. She is presented to be the most level-headed out of all her siblings, and frequently plays the peacemaker among her friends and family. She is unselfish down to the core and never fails to be there when the people she cares about need her. She is extremely extroverted, and leaves a positive effect on everyone she meets. She has a strong backbone, and is not quick to forgive those who hurt her or her loved ones. As a defense mechanism, she never allowed herself to open her heart up or feel anything for anyone, until Alec came along.

## **Physical Appearance**

Physically, Emilia is a very beautiful and attractive young woman with a triangular-shaped face, pale complexion, almond-shaped jade green eyes, dimples, and long platinum blonde hair. Her height is 5'3'', and she has a slim, hourglass physique.

In terms of fashion sense, Emilia often wears form-fitting clothes, usually in darker colors. Her style is very high maintenance, expensive, and trendy, and her signature shoes are Christian Louboutins. She wears her hair in a variety of different styles.

Emilia also wears a gold cuff bracelet with the words "Always and Forever" engraved into it, along with two gold rings: one of her left index finger with the letter "E" on it, and another on her right ring finger with the letter "M" on it. In *You're My Forever*, Alec gives her the Lightwood family heirloom ring—a gold, vintage, ruby and diamond 3 stone ring—which she proceeds to wear on a necklace, until he officially proposes to her in *Someday Is Today*.
