Emily is a strong and proud woman who takes pride in her appearance as it is the first thing a person sees upon meeting her. She stands an average five foot seven, adding a few inches depending on the shoes she happens to be wearing. She has a fairly small waist and usually wears only the nicest of clothes when entertaining guests and taking care of her home and looking after her husband. Her hair is of the blackest color almost giving her a ravenish look with her bright all seeing green eyes. Emily does her best to look younger than she really is because she loves her youth, even if she will never age a day over twenty-nine. As the queen of the Lareth coven she holds herself to a high standard knowing that if she doesn’t present herself well she makes the whole coven look like a laughing stock for the other covens.

Emily is a woman with a strong presence she can be completely silent but you know she’s there. She is the prime example of a social butterfly, eagerly mingling with guests and gossiping about the latest scandals and consoling those who have lost someone dear to them. Her matronly role comes easily to her being a mother of a daughter whom she turned herself. Emily loves taking care of the house though cleaning is something she leaves to the maids and she rarely cooks, but she loves making sure that the house is well decorated and in order. Emily sometimes has out dated views on modern ideas but for the most part she has adapted as well as most other vampires of her age. She is not a strict Queen, usually standing at her husband’s side while he did the talking, she usually just advises him behind closed doors..

BIRTH PLACE: Leicester, Great Britain
CHANGED: Age of Discovery, 1633

Emily was born in Leicester, England late in the year 1603 to a rather wealthy family for that day. They were eager participants in the Age of Discovery where exploration and pioneers were the talk around the dinner tables. Emily was young when her parents talked of boarding a ship and heading off to India, the young girl didn’t understand much of what went on in those early days, just that her mother and father helped her pack her favorite things, clothes, stuffed animals, etc. It was all very exciting to her going on an “adventure” as her parents described it to her then. But the trip itself to India had been rather dull and boring with no other kids her age aboard the vessel to play or talk to.

Once they were in India, her father ever the business man, started right up with his partners doing whatever it was they did best. Emily never did care what it was her father did for a living all she cared was that it kept her in nice clothes and a good meal with a nice bath at the end of the day. As Emily grew she was introduced to her father’s friends children one of the in particular was Victor Ashford which her father had felt a strong need for the two to become friends. That turned out not to be as hard as she had first imagined and they hit it off rather well, spending much of their free time together in the early years of their friendship.

As they grew older Emily and Victor became more than friends, they became lovers. And then the day came that Emily had been waiting for, Victor asked her to marry him which she of course accepted immediately. The two were married shortly after her 20th birthday, having a lavish ceremony put together by his and her parents, which she still remembers to this day as one of the greatest moments of her life. It wasn’t but a few years later that their first and only child Gwyneth was born, Emily’s pride and joy. She took her daughter everywhere not every getting a nanny for her fulltime as she loved giving the girl all of her attention, though her husband took the rest.Everything was going amazing for the little Ashford family until that fateful day...though looking back Emily doesn’t believe it so terrible of an event.

It was late one evening; Emily had just put a five year old Gwyneth to bed and retired to the living area when she heard a commotion near the front door, things being broken and smashed. Emily, not being one for self-defense then had quietly begun walking towards the front door only to be cut off by a scrawny, man in a disheveled suit and unkempt hair. But it wasn’t his attire that had stopped Emily in her tracks; it had been the look in the man’s eyes, the evident hunger for more than a good meal. Emily started to scream only to be cut off by a strangling bite to her throat. After that she began to lose consciousness only vaguely aware of something trickling down her throat before hearing another commotion and then becoming overwhelmed in complete agony.

It had taken three days of this torture before Emily finally came back to herself…except she knew something was drastically different from before. She opened her eyes to a dark room but a light pressure on her arm and looked over to find her husband, Victor, knelt at her side with a worried expression. It was then that she started to remember the events of what happened and after a few more days she realized what she was…after she tried to make a snack of her husband. With a show of extreme self-control she refrained from draining his blood but she asked him to join her in eternity. She expected him to refuse, run off with their daughter and leave her alone in a world of forever but he surprised her by accepting her offer.

Emily changed her husband after making love to him in his human form one last time. His transformation only took two days before he became like her, immortal, the living dead. Emily wanted to bring her daughter into their new world but decided to let her grow older, wiser, let her become a woman and allow her to have a choice in the matter before she changed her into a vampire as well. When Gwyneth turned 22 Emily approached her daughter, she knew that there was something a bit off about her parents, she just didn’t know the entire truth.

Emily sat Gwen down and explained everything to her daughter asking her to join her father and Emily in this life but telling her she had a choice to refuse. Ultimately she agreed, and Emily changed her herself. When they were finally all together as a vampire family, they moved to America, where there were thriving colonies and new people to lord over. It was always fun for Emily to be rich where everyone else was poor. But they arrived around the time that which burnings were just starting in full swing. People suspected of being a witch or any type of “abomination” were singled out and burned on a stake. The Ashford family chose to lay low during these times; though some wondered why they were never seen before the sun rose most just let it go and greeted them casually whenever their paths crossed.

As the centuries progressed the Ashford family became many things, at one point they even owned a large plantation with slaves. Their daughter by this time was free to go do whatever she pleased being quite old by vampire standards. Emily took on a few blacks as “feeders” though Victor reminded her from time to time not to create vampires out of such lowly humans as African American slaves. She would always smile and wave him away with a promise not to, and she did keep good on that promise, though some of them grew infatuated with her and she had to sell them for new ones.

All of this has brought them to where they are today, Victor is a wealthy oil baron and the King of Lareth in her opinion the best territory any vampire could wish to rule besides Alaska due to the amounts of oil to be found below the surface of the earth. To say that Victor and Emily are well off…would be the understatement of the century. The surpass Donald Trump and Oprah with their wealth but they tend to keep that low key, despite all of the luxury cars they own.
