Embry Delacroix

Embry Delacroix,

this is gospel for the fallen ones

Embry is a determined politician who is used to getting her way. She will use whatever means necessary to make sure she gets the outcome she wants and has, over her lifetime, become an expert manipulator of people. You have to be to be a successful politician. She doesn't care for people who do not have a point though, and if you don't have business with her or something important to say, Embry would rather you just leave, not talk, or jump of a cliff. Whatever makes you feel better.

She works very hard to keep all of her emotions at bay, especially in connecting with people. She can fake her emotions extremely well, and this has led to the success of her career, but has also led to pretty much no actual relationships in her life. She does not really mind though, considering they would just be a burden. Embry hates cats, their meowing and fluffiness and clawing. They also creep her out because they like to stare and Embry hates being stared at like that. Sunny days make her want to stay in bed, and she owns exactly 0 dresses. 

With her hatred of guns (she believes they are a a cop out), She trusts her security completely with their own weapons because who is she to say what they should use? As long as they protect her. She hates loud noises, which almost goes hand and in hand with her hatred of guns. 

The thing Embry enjoys most is a cigar or a stiff drink, especially at the end of a hard day. She doesn't really give a flying shiz about smoking rules, and will light up regardless. She rarely goes a meal without a slice of cake as a dessert, usually strawberry. Its one of her guilty pleasures and she usually takes her dessert privately in her room unless entertaining guests. She considers herself quite smart, being able to figure out numbers quickly. She has book smarts, and some street smarts, enough to handle people with an expert hand, but technology has always seemed to elude her. She can handle her phone, and simple things on her computer, but anything more complicated and she just has someone do it for her, not wanting to deal with it personally.

Without her glasses, Embry can't make out a thing, and she hates contacts. She thinks sticking something in your eye every day is gross and refuses to do it. She is also quite greedy and she can be bribed, not without caution though. She is very careful about who she does deals with. She keeps her hands very clean, always using a second or third person to do her dirty work, as many people as it takes to keep the suspicion off of her. 

Embry does have a soft spot though, more for underdogs than anything. She wouldn't help them unless it was beneficial to her in the end, and she keeps this soft spot to herself. She can also be sincerely kind in situations, but those situations are few and far between usually. She isn't totally heartless though. Her stance in the public eye is neutral, but it doesn't stop her from making anonymous contributions to them. She feels for their cause, but unless something happens that would all around benefit her, she would not change her public stance to favor them. She also doesn't outwardly attack them either, it is more on paper than anything. She would prefer not to make enemies of either side.

Standing at 5'10, Embry has a tall, slim, athletic build. Embry's skin is more of a caramel tone and she has piercing blue eyes that have been likened to a clear blue sky. Her hair is a very light straw blonde, and falls to her mid back. She has something akin to bangs, they just fall to her mid chest and her hair is usually always styled down. She has no scars and no tattoos, preferring to keep her skin clear of any blemishes if she can help it. Her legs are long, attributing to most of her height. She has long fingers, someone once referred to them as piano fingers.

Embry wears glasses, and they are usually round but always fit well with her face. Embry also takes very good care of herself, so regardless of her smoking, her teeth are a pearly white. Her bone structure is not as soft as most women, but she does wear slight makeup, mostly just mascara and a light amount of cover up so her skin tone is even. You wouldn't catch her with any lipstick on. Her bust size is average for someone of her height with her build, and she has no deformities of any kind.





When at work, she is constantly in a suit. She enjoys scarves and has many in many different colors. She is very color coordinated and her only jewelry is a cross she wears around her neck. She doesn't like heels, and would rather be in flats, boots, or more sensible shoes. In her down time, she wears jeans and regular t-shirts, usually plain ones. She owns a few tank tops, but never really wears them. Her nightwear usually consists of sweat pants and a t-shirt.

Born in the capital, Embry was not exactly born into privilege. She was born into a normal, middle class home. A few days after her birth, her mother died from complications, leaving her father to raise her. He immediately blamed Embry for her mothers death, but couldn't bring himself to abandon the small baby. Instead, Embry was raised by a nanny and completely ignored by her father. 

When she was 10, her father brought home a baby boy. He coddled the child and spoiled him. Embry was extremely jealous of this new child who her father loved so much. He had never doted on her, even if her nanny had she was just hired help. One night, Embry wandered into the childs room. She glared down at baby Andrew and wanted him to just disappear. Then he woke up, and smiled at her. She had blinked and rushed from the room. Something about that little baby smiling at her hit her in the heart, and from then on she watched the child grow from afar. 

Embry received normal schooling and music lessons, in which she thrived in school, and was pretty ok at the piano, but it was her favorite instrument and she practiced until she was good, but her home was still cold from the lack of love. When she was twenty, she was moved out and starting a successful career in business when she got a phone call from a very distressed nanny who had been helping take care of Andrew. By the time Embry had shown up at the house, the police were there. There was also a very upset looking Andrew. The police stopped her as a coroner brought out a body bag. She found out that her father had shot himself, leaving a note talking about nothing but gibberish. Embry really couldn't care less about her father, instead taking Andrew and his distressed nanny back to her house to live.

When she turned 25, she had grown her business into something of a success and decided that politics was something she wanted to get into. She ran for office and won, her natural abilities to lie and manipulate people shining through. Politics fueled her life blood and she spent much of her time making sure her work was done, and making connections with more sources that were less than honorable. Soon she had catapulted up in her career. She still had this soft spot for her younger half brother and always made sure his needs were met. Other than that, it was all about what she could do to further her own interests. Her current position is a Representative for the North District of Felici.

Dream Vision: This ability allows a person to peer into the dreams of a living mortal while they sleep. Similar to watching a movie. This is triggered by physical contact.
