- Flirty and manipulative, likes to toy around with some men, as she believes they're far easier to wrap under her thumb and get to do her bidding
- Daring, will take big risks if it means a just as big reward
- Honor among thieves; while she may be out for herself most of the time, she isn't completely without any decency, and will help those if she has nothing to lose and / or she has something to gain from it

Her general lack of seriousness can often cause her to butt heads with others
- Very vain and self-confident, the concept of losing is not something that goes in her mind

Reckless, has practically no eye for consequences of her actions
- Her hedonistic tendencies can make her somewhat easy to read at times, almost always acts out of concern for her own personal self-interest
Appearance
Talents / Abilities
Enhanced senses - Most notably, Ema has a keen sense of smell, hearing, and sight that she uses plenty to her advantage, as well as a sort of "sixth sense," which acts as a sort of short-term precognition that alerts her to danger shortly before it happens and sense others who may be attempting to hide their presence.
Presence concealment - Somewhat akin to something like a ninja or a chameleon, Ema has the uncanny ability to be able to almost completely mask her presence. Whether through just pure skill or some sort of unexplained supernatural force, she can render herself practically invisible to others, whether by being able to stick to the shadows to go out of sight, move without sound to escape one's hearing threshold, and other tricks to fool the senses. Though she can use this whenever she pleases, the primary limitation of it is that she cannot hide her presence when in the line of sight of others, naturally, or otherwise aware of her exact location, and she can still be detected regardless by those who might fancy themselves as especially perceptive.
Highly skilled athlete - Seeming to possess nearly peak human conditioning, Ema is extremely agile and nimble, almost like a cat, and prides herself as being an Olympic-level gymnast. More than that, while she isn't one to scoff at even at first glance, she is stronger than she looks, and just as swift, possessing great reflexes.
Adept fighter - Ema is an excellent fighter with just about most any weapon in her grasp, from firearms to blades and even her knowledge of the capoeira fighting style, to the bo staff that she generally carries around with her. She also has a prosthetic hand that imbues her with a faintly superhuman amount of strength in it.
Photographic memory - Ema hardly ever forgets things that she takes an active note of, allowing her to instantly learn anything in a matter of moments, whether by reading about it or witnessing it in action, like a person displaying their skill with a weapon or so. The main drawback to this however is that, like a machine, she has a limited amount of space in her memory, and like a computer, sometimes she may have to actively forget how to do one thing in order to learn how to do another, depending on what it is, and then re-learn it, like deleting a file from a computer to make space for another file, and then later re-downloading it.
History
For a woman like her, perhaps it makes sense that such a person with ambitions to have everything was born with nothing in the very beginning.
Ema hasn't had a very easy childhood. Even during her first seven years, her life was not without conflict, living with her mother and no father to speak of in a financially lacking household in a land full of internal discord, but Ema still made do. However, she wasn't crafted into the person she is today until that fateful day of course, when at the tender age of 7, the relative peacefulness of at least living a life left alone would be shattered with a random act of violence. Specifically, on a day that started out like any other before quickly spiraling into chaos, strange men would burst into Ema's home without warning and attempt to kidnap the two females. The girl's mother resisted enough that the men decided to simply kill her, believing it to be less trouble that way, leaving Ema too traumatized to resist as well.
Later, it had been revealed to the girl that she'd been kidnapped by human traffickers, specifically a part of a deeply connected network of individuals, akin to a modest organization, who sold people to buyers like items on store racks. Though she was initially set to be sold like all the rest, the main organizer of the trafficking organization had taken a liking to the little girl, and let her stay as a personal slave. Though the man considered this a personal kindness, it was undeniable that Ema's life had gone from bad to worse. Over the course of several years, Ema worked as a lowly servant, treated little more than a piece of trash and frequently abused, which resulted in numerous wounds on her body that remain even to this day (the most easy to notice being a modest scar running across her lips), and even the loss of her hand after the one time she'd attempted to openly rebel by herself, though she was eventually bought a prosthetic one to replace it, if only because it was decided that she couldn't perform her duties as well with only one hand.
It was here that Ema learned skills that were necessary to her survival, especially conditioning her mind to be like that of a machine, explaining how she acquired her photographic memory. By the age of 17, a straight ten years after she'd been kidnapped and rendered in this condition, after years of planning and waiting for the right moment to gather what she'd needed without being caught, Ema had managed to escape captivity, but not without killing the organizer who'd enslaved her for all this time as well. However, she had nowhere to go afterwards, and didn't realize this until after she'd escaped, but naturally, the young woman refused to go back to where she had come. Reasoning that the only way to go was forward, Ema did just that. "Reinventing" herself, Ema used her skills and lived on as a thief on the streets with ambitions of attaining everything from nothing, hearing about stories of "Hunters," or people who were deemed "elite members of society," and the luxuries they were afforded through effort and merit. Intending to prove herself that she was fit to be counted among them, Ema spent a few years honing her skill as a thief, moving from place to place over time, before finally ending up finding the Hunter Exam location by the time she had become a young adult.
Other Information
Her eyes aren't actually red. They're just colored contacts that she wears because she thinks it makes her look more attractive to the eye of men. Her real eye color is green.
