Manipulative. That was always the word that the child psychiatrist had told socialite and actress couple, Thomas and Melanie Barnes from the beginning when they took little five year old, Emersyn, for an appointment. Off the bat, the couple noticed that Emersyn wasn’t like every other five year old girl - she was meticulous in the way she kept her toys, and perhaps more precocious than they have ever seen. A bossiness was obvious, and an almost snobbish manner, always thinking that she knew best, that her way of thinking was always the correct way and in her defense, it usually was. Emersyn had a way about her, a way of feeding into people’s view of her, drawing them in and making them do what she wanted. She liked playing games with people, using her money and her popularity, her charm to draw people in, to get more gullible, kinder people to do her bidding for her. Even at five years old, at seven years old, at twelve years old, she had a sophistication about her that made others notice her, that made her charming, sweet to the outside eye, but on the inside, she could be a callous and cruel as one could get. From the beginning, Emersyn adored the strings she could place on people, and effortlessly move them just for fun. Her intelligence was unmatched, although in school, she did just fine, merely finding it boring more often than not. Growing up the way she did, in a big mansion with a socialite father and an actress mother, she rather liked the notierty that came with it - but her mother, a true narcissist to the end, was always wary of Emersyn and her tricks, even as a child. Part of this was her mother’s postpartum depression, her bipolar mania, that Emersyn viewed as simply weak - but as she grew up into a teenager - those little pills her mother had served more good than not - for Emersyn.
Private school was something she could conquer in two snaps of her perfectly manicured fingers, but it was more than that. Other little queen bees thought they were so much better, so much wealthier and it was always the rat race in the little city of Beverly Hills. Emersyn knew she had to have the edge, the popularity, the charm amongst everyone else, but that wasn’t quite enough, until she hatched an idea to keep herself supremely on top. Her favorite past time of them all became drug dealing: to dole out her mother’s drugs, the blue, white, pink and yellow little pills that had every letter of the alphabet on them and everyone’s approval of Emersyn written in stone. It was just that simple - little blue pills swimming in a party bowl, up for the taking every night like it was Halloween. She herself didn’t take them, but to watch the other obscenely wealthy, clearly idiotic rich children of socialites take them was more fun than taking any kind of drug. It felt like an ultimate sense of control and that high never could get old. It seemed silly to ever quit such a profession that gave her such a rush, such a sense of power and so her talents became known in the little elite world of Beverly Hills. If some bored housewife or some rich asshole celebrity wanted a fix? They need only call one girl: Emersyn Barnes.
Always in the socialite life, including the arts and leisure world, just as her father, Thomas, always was - Emersyn found her strengths in the business side of things. She did, after all, graduate with her degree in business from UCLA, but that was just for looks. What she craved was power, true power and her father let her take over the finances of their family, simply being that she was the only one who could seem to make heads and tails of it. In Thomas Barnes’s mind, Emersyn was being placated as a woman in their family, but little did he know, she found traces of money being led back to the Ukraine. She knew her father was into the arts and leisure of the world, including the ballet scene in Ukraine, but never did she imagine to find her own father to have cheated on her mother - and then through her own investigation - had a son. It seemed to all make sense - the fact her mother couldn’t get pregnant before having Emersyn, a surprise birth - the money being sent there. It all clicked in her mind and instead of the normal feeling of betrayal hitting and betraying her - Emersyn saw a game of it. Did she care that her father cheated on her mother? No, her mother was a weak willed bitch, in her mind - but a son? An older half brother? That could be interesting for her. Sending money his way anonymously, knowing his own mother couldn’t afford ballet classes - she told him to meet her in the heart of Beverly Hills. When he wrote back telling her that it had to be New York City, she was shocked - he was raising the stakes.
It didn’t take long for her to realize she had met her match.
When Emersyn flew to see her brother, who claimed he barely spoke Ukrainian, there was a slight connection to him - but still, the game had to be played. He feigned that he barely spoke English, but among sneaking in and seeing his audition for his spot - she knew that was mostly a lie. There was a power in knowing her own money had aided him here and there was now a power she had over her father - on both of them, because she held the power to destroy his very successful, public marriage to her beautiful actress mother and she had the power to take away the money from her brother. It was all what she wanted, and what Emersyn Barnes is all about - power. She just didn’t expect for her brother to fight back, but perhaps that is why they are siblings after all. Still, living in the public as a very generous, caring and charming woman is all that Emersyn craves - the power of persona, while underneath being a callous, cut throat, sociopath that values the game in her favor.
And what better place to play that game than in beautiful Los Angeles where all the world is stage?
