BIOGRAPHY tw: adoption, ppd mention, involuntary manslaughter, heart attacks, depression, emotional manipulation
Emerald Savoya was born on a staggeringly hot July afternoon. Compelled to give up their newborn daughter for adoption due to an extreme of PPD, her birth parents signed over their parental rights to a middle-aged woman who had always wanted another child of her own but could not physically do so after the tumultuous birth of her youngest son. Olivia Dristine, for lack of a better phrase, was filthy rich. Filthy in the sense that she raised three demonic children of her own, all in which took their wealth and privilege for granted since they could talk. Emerald, however, was a blank slate: Olivia was determined to teach her to be better than her blood family, eventually finding herself favoring the mild-mannered and kind little girl over her teenage children.
And teach her to be better, she did. Emerald -- lovingly nicknamed 'Emmy' -- touched everything with a softness most jagged-edged families did not possess. Always quick to stand up and help, she found herself quickly becoming her mother's shadow. She took etiquette courses, learned the symphonies of yesteryear, and for the most part, kept her head down. When Emerald was happy, Olivia was thrilled. When Emerald was scared, Olivia seemed to find an unease in her stomach that wouldn't away. When Emerald wept, Olivia cried twice as hard.
They thought they were in sync. Two peas in an unique pod.
As Olivia's other children moved out to start their own campaigns through the city -- one wanted to be a politician, the other a lawyer, another a socialite -- Emerald continued to homeschool and stay quiet. It wasn't until she hit puberty that things flew off the rails: when Emerald was emotional, Olivia was worse. When Emerald was irate, Olivia would scream louder. What was once synergy between them grew to animosity, terrifying the teen, before Olivia suffered a heart attack just before her nineteenth birthday. The coroner claimed the cause of the attack was due to stress, with a tip-off to the NSA about potential superpower foul play. Authorities reaches out to Emerald for questioning, only to quickly realize that she had been an unchecked super.
Volunteering to be kept as an in-patient, it didn't take long for her ability to be diagnosed: emotion manipulation, with an acute stand of suggestive emotion. What she felt, others could feel just as intensity if not more. It could be manufactured if controlled, used to calm humans or other supers if properly trained. They never told her that she was the cause of her mother's passing in concern of the power overwhelming itself, but discussed options to help suppress the ability in order to help control it -- and to help her get a better grip on her abilities.
Fearful of hurting anyone else, Emerald was willing to sign the dotted line wherever she could.
Although she spent the majority of her time in training learning to suppress and control her abilities, the young woman opted for a neurological implant at the base of her skull -- one that would ultimately lessen the effects of her emotion suggestion on purpose so not to influence the people surrounding her if her emotions got the better of her. Think of it similar to a birth control mechanism; Emerald's moods became more stable, more regulated, but that also minimized her eventual importance when becoming a super.
Except, truthfully, it never quite happened. Supers went back to their nine-to-fives, and Emerald clung onto the NSA with a vice grip. She opted to join the Plans, Policy & Programs Department as an officer in order to help others -- and to stay close to the people who could take her down, if the implant were to fail.
