Emma Devereux

 History
Emma Selene Devereux is the eldest daughter of the French wizard Calixte Devereux and the English witch Selene Macmillan.

Calixte and Selene first met and fell in love at their sixth year when Calixte went on an one-year exchange from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts. Despite being together for only a short period of time, the two got married five years after their graduation and they settled at a small town in France. While Selene was a full-time Qudditch player for Quiberon Quafflepunchers, Calixte was an auror for the French Ministry. Three years later on the last day of November, their first child, Emma, was born.

As neither of the two were willing to quit their jobs, Emma was raised by her nanny at home. Though she did prefer spending more time with her parents, she didn't make any complaints with regards to her parents' busy schedule as she had books and her nanny as her accompany. Five years later, Emma got to meet her newly born sister, Estelle, who she loves dearly. To her, every day was like a happily-ever-after fairy tale.

However, when Emma was nine, the tension between her parents mounted after Emma and Estelle were involved in an attempted kidnap as leverages by a dark wizard. Though neither Emma nor Estelle were injured, Calixte and Selene blamed each other for not focusing less on work to look after their children. They would scream at each other, sometimes with profanities, at almost every night.

At the age of 11, Emma got admitted to Beauxbatons like her father once did. Not being very sociable, Emma preferred spending more time on her studies and getting good grades, but could still managed to make friends with a few. To her, Beauxbatons was nothing paradisical, but she felt like it was a better place to stay at comparing to home where yells could be heard very often - if it hadn't been for Estelle, she would have insisted not to go home in holidays.

Few days after she had returned home for her third summer vacation, she was told that her parents had decided to separate for a long while, with her moving to England with her mother, whereas Estelle staying at France with her father. As much as she didn't want this to happen and she hated both of her parents for doing so, she had no choice in the end but to accept the decision, thus, transferring to Hogwarts starting from year 4.

 Personality
Emma is a logical, intelligent and diligent, always performing well in her studies. Spending a lot of time reading and studying, her knowledge is almost encyclopedic and her logic is impeccable. Though, it's unlikely for people to discover this unless they annoy her or have said something so illogical that she couldn't help but correct them (which seldom happen).

With a lot of pride, Emma always let her actions speak for her. To her, failure isn't something to be taken lightly. Perseverance is one of her merits, but it's also, sometimes, one of her personality flaws - as perseverance becomes stubbornness when it comes to the extremes. When she has decided on something, it's rare for her decision to be changed.

Emma hates being disturbed especially when she's reading or studying attentively. When she's annoyed, she'd make sarcastic comments that often leaves people an impression of being arrogant. At other times, she's modest and easily approachable. She seldom stick her nose in others' business, but she could always give her friends the best advice and help if asked.

 Trivia

 * Emma means entire and universal, while the meaning of Devereux is from Évreux, a town in Normandy, France. Her middle name Selene comes from the first name of her mother, meaning the moon.
 * Emma used to have acrophobia (fear of height). This is much to her dismay, as her mother is an excellent Qudditch player. To overcome this fear, she spent quite a long time flying on her toy bloom when she was young, which indeed works somehow. Although she doesn't like playing Qudditch, she does enjoy watching it, secretly wishing that she could be as talented as her mother or even her sister when it comes to Qudditch.
