Relation to Your Character: Biological maternal aunt
What kind of relationship did they/do they have with your character: Antagonistic at best.

She did her research into Emma’s background and discovered the werewolf heritage running through her niece's veins. She coerced a man to walk into Emma’s path whilst the latter was training, which led Emma to kill him accidentally and triggering her curse. Done so out of vengeance for taking her father away, and a lifetime of resentment towards Emma’s mother, she made a show of kicking Emma out -- and Emma is unaware of her aunt's role in triggering her curse.
