GENERAL APPEARANCE: Emmett may give you the impression of one Doc Brown, because of his eccentric appearance and his rather frazzled hair. His hair is never tamed, because he does not try, merely embracing the natural mini-fro that seems to sprout from his head. He has a biggish nose and he usually squints his eyes as though he is not understanding what you are telling him. A thoughtful person, Emmett usually looks distant and out of place. Though not a token attractive person, Emmett has a drawing nature that is rather infectious.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years: Emmett mother and father were never in love. After a one night stand, the Italian mobster and the call girl separated. Once Angela began showing, she lost her job and became a waitress and a washerwoman. Struggling to meet end's meet, Angela birthed her child into a dingy apartment and a shaky life. She got a job dancing at a club and he continued doing his own thing. His mother had various stepfathers, good but mostly bad. The main thing was he survived. He wondered the streets, learning more there than he would in most places. His mother was a squib, so she ignored the magical world. Already a distant, lost child, the introduction to the world he really “belongs to” only threw hit more off balance.
Hogwarts Years: Emmett started Hogwarts with no friends and little direction, and he stays true to his track record. He goes to his classes like he is sleepwalking, only checking in when his sensitive spirit is aroused. He gets by with his guitar and books that he found in muggle secondhand stores, ranging from topics of religions, cults, biographies, history, philosophy... basically anything. He is also the kind of person to escape outside whenever he can and is always playing his guitar, not for anyone else but himself. At home, life is pretty much the same. The older he is getting, though, the more his mob side of the family is trying to get him involved. During his sixth year he began protesting the war and when he started receiving problems from the professors, he left school.
Adulthood: He continued living with his mother, though he had to leave once she finally got another boyfriend, this one more rich that would take care of her, but did not think much of Emmett. Emmett moved to a flat in Diagon Alley and pays for it with the money he receives as a writer and a musician.
