What they wanted to be when they grew up: I’m not really sure how jobs work in this world, probably a lot of different things

Current job/ career: None

Dream job/ career: Maybe a babysitter? I don’t know, she’s thirteen

Hobbies: Sewing, birdwatching

Favorite food: I don’t really know yet, probably something sweet

Favorite TV show: No TV

Favorite music: Whatever kind exists in her village

Favorite film: No films

Other interests: Basically anything and everything, she’s pretty outgoing

Personality strengths: She’s very friendly and happy, so she’s always able to cheer someone up, she’s also hardly ever embarrassed

Personality weaknesses: She talks a lot, especially when she’s excited, she’s also a bit childish and has a short attention span

How they deal with problems: It depends on what kind of problem. Sometimes she’ll be the first one to do something, and other times she’ll be hiding behind someone else

Biggest achievement: I’m not sure yet

Biggest mistake: I don’t know

Life goals: To stay with her friends and help Finn

Most important life moment so far: When she left her village

How they would feel and what they would do if their house burned down: She would freak out and sound an alarm because she lives in a forest

How they would feel and what they would do if their mother died: She would probably cry for a month or longer

What they would do if they won the lottery: She wouldn’t be sure what to do, she’d probably split it between her friends

How they feel about Christmas: I don’t know if Christmas exists in this world, but she would really like it. Her favorite part would probably be giving people things that make them happy

Where they would live if they could live anywhere: She doesn’t want to settle down. She likes traveling.

 

I’m not very far into the story yet, so sorry if this all seems a bit vague. Her three most interesting personality traits are probably her friendliness, her self-confidence, and the fact that she talks a bit too much.

As of yet, Emi doesn’t have a huge life goal. She just knows she wants to stay with her friends and keep traveling.

Some conflicts that I think could get in her way are her fears and her short attention span.
