Name: Emilie Blackwood
Age: 24
Gender: ♀
Race: Human

Personality:

Emilie comes across as a very polite and helpful young woman, despite her typically somewhat gloomy appearance. She'll go out of her way to help someone she sees in need, and is always willing to listen to someone who may need advice or just someone to chat with. While she does her best not to show it, she absolutely despises people who are simply rude and uncouth, not to mention those who bully others. She spent her entire childhood being bullied, so it's understandable that she'd still hate people who look down on others for being different.

While she's sociable enough, always acknowledging someone she may come across or entering her shop, Emilie is more on the quiet side of things, preferring to listen rather than talk herself. She's a very softspoken young woman, and she's not one to just ramble on and on. However, she's does like listening to others, especially if they have some juicy gossip about monsters or ghosts and the like. And of course, 'The Summoner'; a serial killer that popped up in town.

As her cozy, but creepy coffee shop might suggest, Emilie is a huge fan of the horror genre, and spends most of what free time she has writing short stories on her online blog, taking many queues from authors such as Poe and Lovecraft. There's just something thrilling in all that doom and gloom atmosphere, and she built The Raven's Roost to share her love for the genre with others.

While she's certainly different due to her albinism, Emilie does come across as a little bit creepy, as she tends to stare. She doesn't really mean to in a rude way, and she often apologizes, but she has the tendency to analyze people not just based on their appearance, but their behavior and actions as well. Sometimes those who come into their shop may find their likeness described in one of her stories! Emilie likes to take her time thinking things over, and often does little that she hasn't planned out beforehand.

Emilie may seem normal enough for most, but beneath that calm, smiling woman is something a bit twisted. 'The Summoner'; a serial killer that popped up about a year ago that draws a summoning circle around their victims with their own blood...is Emilie herself. She doesn't kill indiscriminately though. She only kills those who she deems unforgivable or banes upon society. Much like her love for the horror genre, which certainly gives her ideas, Emilie finds the thrill of the hunt, stalking her prey to be immensely enjoyable. As most of her victims have been men that should've been stronger than her, she has to be crafty, silent, and swift to take out her prey with little struggle...and to be able to leave her calling card. She also has a collection of small vials in her basement; trophies taken from each of her victims.
