((Hi! Ember is still a bit of a work in progress, she's my first serious RP character for over a year so I'm rusty as hell heh.))

Ember's childhood wasn't a joyful one, she was, as her mother would remind her on occasion, a mistake, though this didn't stop her mother falling pregnant again a few years later, this time giving birth to a son whom was named Max.
Ember (real name Emma Harper) would take on the role of caregiver for her baby brother, herself only five.

When her brother was able to speak, because he struggled with her name, instead of saying Emma, he would pronounce her name as Ember; hence the nickname she uses to this day. It would be when Emma was 8(her brother 3) that the pair were taken into care and it would be the last that she saw of him.

Ember would spend many years being passed from children's homes and foster families (at times she suffered at the hands of those who were supposed to be looking after her, but she became used to it, thinking perhaps it was what she deserved), but eventually she fell through the cracks and was fending for herself from the age of 17.

Now at the age of 18 she is as lost as ever, but any halo she may have had has been well and truly crushed underfoot.

((I'll edit and add more when I've worked on it further. Again sorry its sketchy.))
