Biography

Early Life
Edit
Emma was born in 1995 to John Carstairs and Cordelia Townsend.
Emma's parents both died in 2007, leaving their only child, Emma. Forced to live alone at 12, Emma moved into the Los Angeles Institute to be trained as a Shadowhunter. She is determined to hunt down those responsible for killing her parents. By Lady Midnight, she has apparently become the fastest, fiercest, most determined Shadowhunter since Jace Lightwood.
Julian Blackthorn is Emma's closest companion and parabatai. Throughout the course of the series, she falls in love with him. However, she is forbidden to be with him by Shadowhunter law.
Mortal Instruments
Edit
City of Heavenly Fire
Edit
Emma makes an appearance in City of Heavenly Fire, as shown in one of Cassandra's teasers, where she confronted a very saddened and frightened Julian Blackthorn in Idris.
Personality and Traits
Edit
| “ | Oh dear, did I just drop that giant broadsword on your head? I guess I did! Must be because I'm blonde. | ” |
| –Emma, Cassie on Tumblr | ||
Telling blonde jokes in front of her is a good way to find yourself at the hospital.
Physical Description
Edit
Emma has golden-blonde hair, usually braided back or up in a bun for efficiency's sake, that she keeps long for sentimental reasons. Her eyes are dark blue. She works extraordinarily hard at her training - her body is strong and tough, and she has a bad scar up her right arm that she's a bit proud of and a little self conscious about.
Abilities
Edit
Emma apparently favors the repeating crossbow and wind-and-fire wheels as her primary weapons.
