DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: emilee has two piercings in each ear and a circular birthmark on her left hip.
PHYSICAL APPEARENCE:

emilee isn't short, but she's not tall, either. she's mid-height and mid-weight. it's nothing too noticeable. she has incredibly long, chestnut colored hair and big, blue eyes that she always highlights with a considerable amount of black eyeliner and mascara. she's average looking: not very pretty, but not very unfortunate looking, either. it's possible that she could almost look pretty in a dress, but the next time you catch emilee in a dress is the next time you see a pig wearing one as well.

CLOTHING STYLE:

emilee likes to wear oversized t-shirts and any kind of jeans. it's hard to find her wearing any kind of pants except for her faithful pairs of jeans, but it's not uncommon to see her in just her underwear at any given moment. she'll be the first to suggest some kind of stripping game, and not because she wants desperately to have sex, but just because she hates wearing pants. it's a peculiar habit of hers, but it's hers nonetheless. she likes converse and adidas as her favorite brands of shoes because they're classic and they go with everything, but she only has a black pair and a grey pair of converse and a white striped pair of adidas. emilee doesn't like big, chunky jewelry, but she'll wear any necklace on a chain.

LIKES: organization, perfection, chocolate, her cats, vitamin water, sushi, reading, watching tv
DISLIKES: tuna fish, chaos, not being in control of something, strawberry flavored stuff, keeping secrets, forgetting to do homework
STRENGTHS: emilee is a leader and will take control of any situation she is needed in. she is great at organizing things and making sure everything is running smoothly, even though she gets frustrated when things don't go exactly according to plan, which they rarely ever do. she is also very good at cheerleading and gymnastics, which aren't things you'd expect someone who looks like emilee whittaker to do, though she's very competent at them. she can fly or base in cheerleading and has an iffy layout at best in gymnastics, though since she doesn't do it competitively, that's very good. in addition to this, emilee is also very in tune with animals, almost like an animal whisperer, and she really calms down when she's near them. she's very good with them and has always thought it would be cool to be a veterinarian.
WEAKNESSES: emilee gets very frustrated very easily when things aren't exactly as she wants them. she's a perfectionist and gets very annoyed when people can't seem to manage to do things right. she's also really bad at foreign languages and for some reason, she just can't seem to understand them, so she quit trying and dropped spanish.
GOALS: emilee wants to go to college and become either an english teacher or a veterinarian.
FEARS: emilee's terrified that she'll accidentally let her brother's secret slip, or that she'll get diagnosed with something else life-changing.
HABITS: she fidgets with her sleeves a lot, chewing on them or tearing holes in them by ripping at the threads. she also twirls her earrings around and around and around when she's nervous about something.
OVERALL PERSONALITY:

emilee is a very bright girl, both in intelligence and in demeanor. she's very charming in a way, despite her abrasive words. it almost doesn't matter what she says because she says it nicely. it's hard to take anything she says seriously, even though eight percent of the time when she's insulting you, she means it. she's not scared to say what she feels and for the most part, this gives off a feeling of confidence that people aren't apt to contradict, leaving her feeling like she's won. this has made her feel almost invincible, in a strange sense of the word and between this and her ocd nature of controlling everything, emilee has been left with a loaded god complex that isn't up for any challenging any time soon.

as stated, emilee likes to control the little things around her, whether it's people's confidence levels or the way her room needs to be just so. it bothers her when things don't go her way, but more to a point where she feels panicked instead of angered, which makes her feel more vulnerable, less in control and eventually, she'll just break down. up until she was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, her mom would attempt to clean her room in a way that her mom liked it, and emilee would get frustrated for no reason and end up in tears and she couldn't understand why. she doesn't like people invading her personal space, either, but not to a point where she can't stand human contact. she would just like a little warning before being hugged or something like that.

finally, emilee is very concerned with everything that is going on, everywhere and at every moment. it's almost like she's intensely curious, but she feels an almost need to know what people are whispering about or what that band was coming from the closet. she almost feels as if she doesn't have a choice but to find out, which land her in some pretty sticky situations sometimes. if there's something happening, she wants to be a part of it, which sometimes leaves her exhausted and regretful. emilee can't help but want to find out, as if she's never heard that curiosity killed the cat.

HISTORY:

emilee was born in mid-february sixteen years ago to cadel and alana whittaker, both happily married and ecstatic over the firstborn baby after five years of trying to conceive. cadel insisted on not knowing the sex of his baby because, he claimed, that if he didn't know, it would most certainly be a boy. however, when emilee turned out to be a girl, alana was more than content. she wanted a baby girl more than anything. however, a mere few months into emilee's life, alana learned that she would never be able to naturally conceive again. this left cadel heartbroken that he wouldn't have a son to name after himself and when alana brought up the idea of a surrogate mother, cadel was too pleased to object. and the two of them made a pact that they would try for as long as possible until they had a boy.

the couple soon learned that they would be having twins, and this time, emilee insisted on knowing the sexes of her babies, and as it turned out, there was one boy and one girl. the babies were born months too early, however, and the girl was stillborn, though the boy was not. they named him after his father, as had always been the plan, and daddy's little girl soon took a disliking to the 'intruder' in her household. baby cadel was taking up all of her mother and father's attention. she was never kind to her little brother. instead, she was disgusted by him. his throw-up and poop were gross and his wailing hurt her ears immensely. she stayed as far from his room as possible.

when emilee was six, she fell sick with the flu, her temperature shooting up to levels that were so high, her mother bathed her in ice and then rushed her to the emergency room. a week later, once her fever was broken and the flu was being treated, the doctor's told alana some devastating news: the flu virus had triggered emilee's immune system to attack emilee's islet cells, which were the ones that produced insulin. from that day on, it would be impossible for emilee's body to produce insulin at all. at first, emilee couldn't comprehend why she needed an insulin pump, or why her mother needed to draw blood from her finger multiple times a day, no matter how much alana tried to explain it to her. but she grew used to it, and by the time she could work google, she fully understood what exactly had happened--and that it would permanently affect her life every day until she died. she hadn't exactly excepted it, but she came to terms with it, and by the time she was fifteen, she found that she could almost control her weight with it. if she used less insulin, she would get sickly, but skinny. her mother noticed at first, but emilee assured her that she'd done research and that it wouldn't hurt her, even though she'd done no such thing.

when she was twelve, emilee became very aware of how when she felt like she was out of control, it felt like the world could have been collapsing, or like she was dying. she casually mentioned this to her mother, who took her to a psychiatrist, where she was diagnosed with mild anxiety problems and a very mild form of ocd. it wasn't enough to complete cripple her day to day life, but it was enough to prescribe the girl yet another medication, this time to keep her from panicking enough to reduce her to a mental breakdown. however, emilee flushes the pills down the toilet, terrified that the medicine will change who she is as a person. she tried taking them once and she didn't like how they had made her feel.

two weeks after emilee's sixteenth birthday, she and her brother were at a giant party thrown by a neighbor. she was having fun with her friends, getting drunk and smoking weed in the basement. and then it came time to play seven minutes in heaven. cadel was so drunk that disappearing into a closet with another guy for everyone to see wasn't a problem to him; it was merely what he wanted to do--and had been doing for months. and the next morning, he didn't remember a thing, although emilee did. she was shocked. it wasn't that she disapproved, but, she'd never thought of her brother as gay before. he'd always seemed so masculine. she casually dropped hints until one day he came out to her as 100% homosexual, but made her promise not to tell their parents until he got a chance to. to this day, emilee is dying to tell someone--anyone--and she can't let it go, even though she would never dream of betraying her brother's trust like that.
