Emma grew up in Kymay Manor together with Void-Walker Pyxis Romani Rayya, which just was born one day after her. Both girls mistook them self as twin sisters in their early childhood, the reason for that was Rayya’s slightly older twin brothers. Rayya’s father Yaro was never amused about this relationship and tried to break the bond the two girls had without success.
Someday both understood that they are actually not twins or sisters, but that kept them both not from being best friends until today and still calling each other fully convinced ‘sister’.
Education and Stats[]
Emma received together with Rayya private tutoring at Kymay Manor from Rayya's grandmother Loreseeker Pyxis Kymay Sarina and other very qualified teachers for the best education possible on the Lodestone.

In addition to their regular studies Emma and Rayya where trained in basic piloting of space craft, while they needed to stay there for four years until they mastered their navigation skills.
After the long stay on Haqani has finally ended for both girls, they moved at age eighteen voluntarily to Diomikato in the Aliya-System and stayed there another four years at the Academia Ardenti Arbitrium to become Rangers. They extended the regular time on Diomikato by three years for advanced Ranger and Officer’s training.

With the end of Emma’s long education she has proved on multiple occasions to be a responsible and highly qualified Navigator and Ranger. Able to handle LINES and a specialist for PATHS.
The Family Tree[]
This family tree shows where Emma actually comes from and to which people she is related to. However, the only living person knowing about those details is her mother Marica. Emma’s origins are a well-kept secret since her father made very clear he is not interested in his bastard born daughter from a Pyxis serf. The other reason is to protect her from those that still on the hunt of the former House Cygnus traitors.
