Name: Emily Wyatt
Occupation/Skills: Greenvale Sheriff Deputy
Hobbies: One of Emily's guilty pleasures is watching, City Lights, a soap opera which focuses on the glamorous and often seedy lives of those in the fashion industry living in New York City. Emily hasn't missed an episode thanks to her DVR and usually spends several evenings a week catching up on what she's missed while on duty.
Emily is also an aspiring cook and hopes to some day be just as proficient as her late mother and co-worker Thomas. She has the drive but so far has unsuccessful in making a truly decedent meal, heck she would settle for something edible! Her failures are evidenced by her scorched kitchen and her ability to clear the Sheriff's office with an offer of trying her homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Personality: Emily is a pretty easy going gal with a strong sense of justice. She's genuinely a friendly person and tries to give everyone she meets the benefit of the doubt. It could be her more easy going nature allows her to let some of York's more social rudeness slide and why she's often playing mediator when he an George butt heads on the case.
If there's one thing Emily can't stand it's petty gossip. She's experienced first hand the effects of small town gossip can have on someone when many of her school peers spread rumors she was promiscuous based solely on her style of dress when she moved to Greenvale back in high school.
One of Emily's biggest fears is failure in her job. She's worked hard for her position as George's right hand and takes great pride in the work she does. Emily dealt with a lot of crap from many of her male collages about her ability to handle such a job and loathes the thought of utterly messing up a big investigation.
Surprisingly Emily has an irrational fear of the woods at night (Nyctohylophobia), a fear she prays none of her friends or colleagues will discover. She can't explain it herself but just the thought of being alone in a dark forest gives her the creeps and gets her heart rate going. This fear could stem from spending most of her life in a concrete jungle and little exposure of many camping trips under her belt.
Unfortunately Greenvale is surrounded by forests and it's hard not to run into some patch of dark woods around town. But thankfully Emily's duties in the Sheriff department haven't required any nighttime forest exploring...yet. With Anna's body turning up in the forest Emily knows that it's really only a matter of time she going to have to face her fear.
History: Emily moved to Greenvale with her parents as a junior in high school. She wasn't too thrilled at having to leave behind her friends and big city life but kept her grievances to herself when she saw how happy her mother was with the idea.
The culture shock of small town life made it hard for Emily to settle down in Greenvale at first. Many of her peers felt her manner of dress such as her short skirts and streaked dyed hair, meant she was something of a floozy. False rumors quickly spread but within the year Emily won everyone over. She toned down some of her more wild fashion choices, joined the girl's softball and her friendly personality quickly won her a lot of friends. It's no wonder and the rumors quickly faded.
Emily lost her mother to cancer halfway through her senior year and it devastated her. Her grades suffered and she lost her softball scholarship to an out of state college.
Things were looking pretty bleak but Emily was able to get her act together shortly after graduation and with the surprising decision to join the Sheriff Department.
Over the last eight years she's risen through the ranks and currently resides as George's right hand man. She loves her job and her co-workers now but she would be lying if she didn't say things weren't a little awkward at first due to George asking her out while she was still in high school a year or so before she even joined the force. Some thought she got the job due to George's soft spot for her but through the years she's proved to her colleagues she deserves her spot on the force.
Emily spends most of her time working with George and his assistant Thomas and has come to respect both a great deal.
Emily has a strained relationship with her stockbroker father and doesn't see much of him now that he's moved to New York City. They were never that close since he always seemed to care more about the job then the family. He visit's on holidays though and Emily hopes she's can figure out a way to reconnect with him more in the future.
RP Sample
It's Saturday night and Emily stands in her kitchen looking morosely at her latest culinary disaster. It's been two hours and her kitchen was a complete mess and she still hasn't made anything close to resembling Thomas' delicious biscuits and gravy.
"Easy dinner..sure Thomas," Emily muttered as she scraped the blackened
and congealed gravy down the garbage disposal. But hey at least her biscuits came out okay, she hoped...They at least resembled biscuits.
Emily tries to take a nibble of one and lets out a yelp. The biscuit was rock solid! She's lucky she didn't chip a tooth!
With a sigh Emily dumps the whole lot in the garbage. Looks like it's take out for diner yet again and grabs her portable phone off the counter.
Flipping through a pile of take out menus she decides on a pizza and makes the call.
Seriously, why is something mundane as a simple meal constantly allude her? If she's going to get anywhere she'll need a coach of some sort! Following recipes on her own just wasn't cutting it.
"One of these days I'll convince Thomas to come over! If he can't help me
I don't think anyone can!" muses Emily.
Snatching a beer from the fridge Emily flops onto her couch and turns on her tv in giddy anticipation.
Work was surprisingly busy this week due to a recent string teenage vandalism and unending paperwork so she has a full weeks worth of episodes of City Lights to catch up on.
Will Jake would finally confess he feelings to Samantha? God she hopes so, their sexual tension this season has been off the charts! With a little smile she has to admit her anxiety over their whole relationship probably had to do more with her current lack of one.
2 hours later with half her pizza gone Emily is clutches a throw pillow to her chest. Her eyes grow wide as Jake takes Samantha in his arms and lean down for a kiss.
"This is it!" she squeals
Their lips meet and just as the music swells Emily's department issue cell blares to life and vibrates off clear off her end table.
Emily lets out a groan, "You got to be kidding me" pausing the romantic scene and leans over to and grab the phone off the floor.
She looks the display, it's George, and checks her wall clock, 11:00pm. Whatever it is it can't be anything good and she quickly answers the call.
"Wyatt here."
