			[[File:Emmy.png\|thumb\|347x347px\|alt=\|Mood Board]]Emmy at the start off the series was slightly stand-offish, full of herself, and honestly not that nice. She was often passive aggressive and believed herself above school rules. There was definitely something infectious, but also quite dangerous, about her. She spent a large amount of time studying the behaviors of others in order to learn how to best blend in as human and was moderately successful at it.
	[[File:Emmy.png\|thumb\|347x347px\|alt=\|left\|Mood Board]]

			Family loyalty was, and had been for as long as she could remember, the most important thing. Immediately upon returning to civilization, Emmy had an impossible family legacy to fulfill. In addition to navigating being the new kid in school and juggling social/academic commitments, she was often given tasks designed to test her loyalty.

			Through out the game she learned that the sacrifices she was being forced to make for her family were wrong. She eventually teamed up with the rest of the gang to defeat her family. Following the reckoning, Hemlock would spend the rest of her life trying to undo the wrongs her family had done.

			'''<u>Dream 1</u>'''

			Your arms are trembling under the weight of the crumbling foundation. If you look up you can see the looming shadow of an ancient estate. You try to stand tall, but you're just one person, you're not strong enough to hold up an entire building. You're just one kid. Sweat pours down your face and now your hands are slippery. In the windows you can see the principal at school. "That's a lot of clubs", they say, and suddenly they are right in front of you and their eyes are swirling with hypnosis and their face has distorted into a snake and then they stick out their tongue and it's a forked tongue like a snake and they say "do it dear."

			Wake up.

			'''<u>Dream 2</u>'''

			The estate is back but this time you are inside. You're running as fast as you can through the corridors but the walls are turning into sand and out the window you can see Diana and she looks so disappointed and hurt.

			Wake up.
	Arc I

			'''<u>Dream 3:</u>'''
	There was this pressure.

			You wake up smiling in the morning and there's someone next to you in the bed. You're holding hands, and they are soft and sweet. But when you roll over it isn't a person at all, it's a coil of cool black scales. It's a snake but the snake doesn't have a head, where is it's head? You go to feel around on the floor but you have no hands and then you realize with horror that you are the head, and the coil, and the scails. You open your mouth to scream but only a hiss comes out.
	First, came the complaining, the denial, the frustration. Responding to the orders, the assignment to become... Human. It felt stupid. As the heir to a great destiny, why was I being tasked with something so miniscule? Having once stuck fear into the hearts of man, assimilating among them seemed like a sort of failure. Castor seems to be leaning into it, but I could not shake the feeling that I didn’t belong, that I didn’t quite fit. After millions of years as an immortal beast I did not want to inhabit something so simple, so human.

			Wake up.
	But there was this pressure.

			'''<u>Dream 4 (recurring):</u>'''
	Second came the watching, the observing, the careful note-taking. From my seat next to her, I witnessed cunning and creative manipulation. Money is power, popularity is power, and power is everything. It’s hard to tell if the feelings are real. Her smile seems genuine. But when you flash a fancy necklace or a new phone, people see right through your smile and into your wallet. Maybe, I thought, this person is far from human.

			Party strobe strive lights, angry eyes, bodies colliding in the dark. Hands on hands on scales on teeth. But then you're falling down and down and down and down. You rush past window after window of that ancient estate and it looks so disappointed. It’s curtains curled in the shape of a disapproving glare. You see the ground, right before the collision, and it's covered in ancient scrolls and papers.
	All the while, there was that pressure.

			Wake up.
	Third, came the communicating, the conversations, the “infiltrating”. This one didn’t go so well. Talking, body language, texting, that just-right-amount of eye contact - all these things were hard. When my gut was telling me to consume what I could see, genuine connection did not come easy. Based on earlier observation, connection doesn’t have to be genuine. But the dazed look in the eyes of my allies did not feel earned. I decided I wanted to be worthy of the titles I had stolen, to be a friend and not a source of fear. Indeed, for a span of time, I truly wanted to be human.

			'''<u>Dream 5:</u>'''
	Still, there was that pressure.

			This is prom, right? You were helping people calm down after the fight. It was a chaotic moment but it's calming down now you just want to know what is happening. But if that is true then why is everyone on fire? Was there fire before? The flames keep getting taller. You're swallowed.
	Fourth, came the touching, the exploring, the ecstasy. In a dim lit room, skin against skin, sin against sin. It felt wrong and right at the same time. The human body works in incomparable ways, moves in unexpected forms. Like feasting, but without the guilt of destroying the source of your fuel. The brain lights up with the heart, the heart lights up with the body. I didn’t know. I understood the body in concept, skeleton, muscles, flesh, but I had never really felt it. I didn’t truly understand what it meant to be human. And I felt it this time. that sex is unfamilar. When you spend a millennium as an ancient creature, nothing is unfamiliar. That said, little moments of bliss mean more when you are human.

	Then came the hoping, the believing, the trusting. Waiting for a phone call or a smile across the classroom, some kind of recognition. A loose promise made with an old enemy wasn’t quite enough, I needed more. Each night I’d hear a whisper in the back of my mind, that sweet venomous demand. I needed to sew up the pieces of a broken legacy, I was told, but I didn’t know how. I wouldn’t wish this obligation on my worst enemy, but I did. I wished it on her, I wished that she would hear the voices too, that someone, anyone would feel the pressure too, that I wouldn’t be alone. She wasn’t normal, she was like me, I thought, maybe. Of course, I was never never lucky enough to be human.

			Wake up.
	The pressure pressed harder.

			'''<u>Dream 7:</u>'''
	Then came the waiting, the wondering, the wandering. Lunking in a shadow like a snake about to pounce. Ha. Like a snake. Each night sitting across an empty table from a disappointed sneer. My family never eats, group meals were nothing but a formality. A whisper in my ear each night I go to sleep. If I threw myself hard enough into the ruse, maybe it would become real. If I kissed a stranger, and danced with a new friend, and got drunk at a party. If I bided my time, maybe the hunger would go away. Maybe I could wait to be human.

			You're in the woods and everyone is there around you, so you will never be alone. But when you look closely, they aren’t your friends. They are all corpses. And now your mouth is filled with blood again.
	I was smothered by the pressure.

			Wake up.

There was this pressure.

First, came the complaining, the denial, the frustration. Responding to the orders, the assignment to become... Human. It felt stupid.
