Third Skill: Maths – Emily has a natural gift for mental arithmetic and finds Maths almost easy. However, her heart’s not in it and is rather a way to pass grades then something she enjoys.

Main Weakness: Socialising – Emily is an introvert and so hates socialising. Furthermore, because she’s been bullied about her weight since she was ten years old, Emily is often nervous in social settings, frightened it’s just a situation for her to be taunted. It makes her nervous about meeting new people and she avoids social situations whenever she can.

Secondary Weakness: Insecurities – Following on from being bullied, Emily has several insecurities, all involving her appearance and specifically her weight. They have held her back in every way possible, including making friends, having a romantic relationship and sometimes even in her school life when her insecurities stop her from performing in tasks as well as she could do if she was confident.

Third Weakness: Water – Not only can Emily not swim but she is has a phobia of water, brought on by the car accident that killed her whole family when she was ten.
