BIOGRAPHY
Emmeline was born to Isabela and Matt Dallas during the summer of 1993. It could be seen as lucky and unlucky for Emmy to be the second born to the pair. Seeing as they already got their parenting worked out on their first child, Luke, they usually left Emmy up to her own devices. As a toddler they encouraged her to get into the messy things and sort of find her own way through her problems. Even as a small child she was the type to run before she could walk as she was always getting ahead of herself in some way or another. Emmy walked to the beat of her own drum, that much was for sure. In grade school she was a bit of a loner. She found herself more attracted to the people in her storybooks than to the kids in her school. The only people she really ever felt close to were her younger sister and older brother. They understood her. It wasn’t until 8th grade that Em really started to come out of her shell. She found that the people she was drawn to were the type that didn’t really follow the rules. She was constantly getting into trouble for one thing or another – whether it be turning up late to class or skipping school entirely. Isabela and Matt tried to chalk it up to pure adolescent freedom of expression and simply being a middle child, but they knew they had a problem child on their hands. The only reason Emmy even tried in school was because if she didn’t make C’s or higher in her classes she wouldn’t be allowed to attend her swim team practices after school. Participating in swim team was the only thing Emmy really cared about. After her twelfth birthday Emmy was expecting some sort of ability to manifest in her. Luke had found out about his ability just after his twelfth birthday, of course, so why wasn’t hers showing up? Was she a dud? Was she going to be like some sort of ability-less squib? The thoughts haunted her for almost an entire year. In July, just before her thirteenth birthday, Emmy realized her ability. One long afternoon of laps in the pool during swim practice she and some of the other girls on the swim team decided to have a breath holding conversation. Emmy loved these competitions because she always won. Everyone always joked with her that she had superhuman lungs when it came to holding her breath – and in a way, they were kind of right. That afternoon Emmy decided she was going to try to beat her record of 4 minutes and 12 seconds. She just wanted to get to4 minutes and 30 seconds and ended up far exceeding the goal. That day she learned she could breathe underwater and she was under for 7 minutes before the other girls pulled her up, afraid that she had started to drown.
With her ability finally manifested Emmy couldn’t have been happier. She was finally just like her older brother. Because her brother had an ability of his own, their parents also knew about it. When she got home that day she went and told her parents all about how When Professor Knox approached the Dallas family for a second time to ask Emmy to join him at his academy Emmy just wanted to laugh at him. Sure, Wisconsin wasn’t the best place to live, but willingly moving to Wyoming seemed like she would be self-committing herself to a life of hell. The only thing that really persuaded her into attending the school was the fact that she’d be with kids who were like her – kids who had their own secrets and an ability of their own. She wanted to be able to share that part of herself with others – though, to this day, she still wouldn’t admit it.
RELATIONSHIPS
Isabela and Matt Dallas: In a general sense Emmeline has always gotten along with her parents. She respects the fact that they’ve given her a lot of freedom from a young age and she wouldn’t do anything to ever hurt them. They’re both really open and honest people and she loves them a ton. They were the first people she told when her ability first manifested. Both Isabela and Matt are extremely supportive of all of Emmy’s goals. |

PERSONALITY
When she isn’t being a shithead, she’s pretty manipulative. Sometimes these manipulations manifest themselves for personal reasons (such as getting help with school work or just for attention) or just to prove that she can do it. Emmy is also very driven when she wants something. She works really hard for the things she wants, and currently she really wants to make the 2016 Olympic swimming team. She devotes many hours a day to practicing. Emmy also loves her freedom and tries her hardest to avoid girls who are overly chatty. She typically gets along better with guys.
AQUATIC RESPIRATION When Emmy is particularly stressed out or under a lot of pressure she can usually be found in the pool. She uses the fact that people can’t stay under as long as she can to her advantage when she doesn’t want to be bothered by others.
