## Description

### Appearance

Emira is on the shorter side for half elf at 5'0. She has pale gray skin, lavender hair, and striking black eyes with white pupils. After eradicating Steve she no longer bears the scars from her deal with Glarnos on her left forearm.

As a self proclaimed librarian she wears that of a scholar - a pale jade coat with short sleeves, and tan top and pants. She always carries her brown leather bound journal with her to refer to her notes on historical, religious, and magical readings as well as a small sketch of her dear husband to remind her of home.

### Personality

Emira loves learning - it is also her weakness. It is what got her in this mess in the first place afterall. If there is a book, every fiber of her being wants to read it.

Emira is very strategic in her thoughts and always in her journal to find solutions to problems at hand. She is compassionate about those around her and not afraid to show her emotions. Even with the ability to read minds, she was always considerate to those around her to not share unless absolutely necessary.

She is also very loving and will put herself at risk to save her family and friends. Her husband is very dear to her and keeps her grounded despite making decisions that often worry him.

## Biography

### Early Life

Not much is known about Emira's home life as she seems reluctant to speak about it. In episode 7, while telling a story to the ferryman to gain access to the Tower of Urm, Emira tells a story on how she idolized her mother as she was an academic who specialized in herbalism. Unfortunately, she learns from that tale her well intentioned attempt at herbalism remedies which she believed had only led to a small plague in her town of Baldur's Gate actually caused a larger plague in Elturel causing mass causalities.

In Ep. 24, while talking to Krydle she mentioned on his way back to Baldur's Gate to tell one Rinn Lavos that she "was okay." It is not clear who Rinn is other than perhaps a relative.

### Background: Sage

Unclear when in her past Emira first encountered Glarnos, she struck a deal with the devil. She was granted three wishes and her first wish granted her access to Candle Keep through a book given to her by Glarnos and she was able to study under Sylvira Savikas. It was also here that she met Oriel during their studies.

In the midst of courting him, she wished to know his thoughts thus Glarnos scratched her with a strange claw and provided her with psionics to read minds. This curse brought more powers than she had expected however. Realizing the dangerous deal she had made, Sylvira along with the help of Lohse made a plan to adventure to Avernus to end her contract with Glarnos. On her travels, her psionic powers began to strengthen until a Slaad revealed himself in her dreams as Steve, a purple rare Slaad with the intent of becoming one with her.

In Ep. 6, Emira, while trying to impress Feonor, accidently encounters Orcus and loses her eyes so that he may see through her. They are able to be restored thanks to Lohse. She was tasked to kill an Arch Devil, but in Ep. 12 Mad Maggy ends up relieving her of Orcus's curse.

In Ep. 16, the party boards a train to find Johnny's wife and encounter Glarnos in a final battle. They are able to swiftly deal with him with Johnny able to enact his revenge upon finding out his wife was turned into a succubus and killed by the party. Thus ending her deal with the devil after never making her third wish despite Glarnos's persistence.

Over time Steve became more hostile and difficult to control until finally in Ep. 22 Emira made the choice to have Gideon, a priest of Lathander in Elturel, help her to remove him from her body. During the process, Steve killed Gideon to resist his removal. While bound by Bradaak's snake staff, she used her powers to reach inside her using Mage Hand to grab hold of the creature inside her while Gideon, now revived, delivered more holy power to help her finally eradicate Steve from her indefinitely.

Later, it is revealed a Feywild Magic shard she had found at the Hellrider's Headquarters during the fall of Elturel infused its powers with her providing her with Wild Magic.

## Relationships

### Lohse

Emira meets Lohse in Candle's Keep through Sylvira - Lohse agrees to help save Emira from a horrible fate due to her devil deal by traveling to Avernus. Emira values Lohse's friendship and feels the debt she owes Lohse for risking her life to save her own could never be paid. She admires the dedication Lohse has for seeing the good in others despite the evil that surrounds them.

### Jonny

Emira met Johnny in Avernus on a quest to end her contract and learned he had a common interest with Glarnos as well. In their time travelling together, she grew close to the brothers and even tried to help Johnny uncover the truth to what happened to his family by entering Malcer's mind. When it was revealed Johnny had made a new deal with Bel, she was incredibly heartbroken to have to let him go. She vows to see his redemption and bring him back to the material plane.

### Malcer

Emira met Malcer in Avernus on a quest to end her contract and learned his brother Johnny had a common interest with Glarnos as well. Due to Malcer's hidden agenda, it was difficult to trust him in the beginning. However when it was revealed what had happened between Johnny's family and himself, she began to see a change in Malcer. Upon removing himself from Bel, Emira felt he was on a journey of redemption of his own and she is willing to help him see the light amongst the evil around them.

### Bradaak

Emira met Bradaak after the fall of Elturel, and while she doesn't know much about him she finds him quite intriguing and finds herself writing notes about his abilities and companions. While she does not fault him for his decision to restrain her during her battle with Steve, she has not quite decided where she stands with him. It doesn't help that Oriel does not seem to like him, but with time perhaps they can grow closer.
