Face
Ember has in her own words, a decently pretty face. She has cupids bow lips, and a small button nose. Her two blue eyes are framed by a thick row of brown lashes making the blue and white of them stand out brilliantly. She has soft porcelain skin but hates it as she blushes easily and burns even easier. Ember was raised away from too strong and influence of girls so dislikes make-up, opting only for lip gloss when needed and on a rare occasion a touch of mascara.
Body
Embers body was almost boyish in shape with a small bust and petite hips before she had Andrew, which improved the size of her chest greatly. She would not be an hourglass figure but is comfortable with her shape as she is lean and graceful from her travels which have removed any remaining chubbiness from her pregnancy that she was too lazy to work off.
Clothing Style
Ember doesn't really like fashion, so tends to choose comfort over fashion. When traveling she chooses comfortable jumpers, pants and scarves, and when she stops to work to earn money for her travels, chooses comfortable black suits and pumps over heels. She has always preferred dresses to pants, but traveling has knocked that trait out of her and she now only wears dresses as a treat when she is in one place for a while.

Overall Personality
Agreeable
Ember is a very kind person, who would go out of her way to do something to help someone. She dislikes seeing others in pain and was often scolded as a child for wasting her pocket money on road-side beggars. She is a very warm person who smiles and people who she passes in the street, and is constantly met with a cheerful hello.
Calm
Ember is not easily aggravated and is highly laid-back in her lifestyle. She is quicker to calming or soothing words then anger, but when her anger is brought out she is quite vicious with it. Though it does take alot to bring it out.
Timid
She has very little courage in herself and is difficult to talk to when you first meet her as she often remains quiet and reserved. Her words often seem to shake around strangers and she has on occasion been known to stutter.
Stubborn
Once Embers mind is set on something nothing can sway her away from that. She will follow something through to the end, even if it isn't worthwhile.
Conscientious
She worries greatly about the feelings of those around her, and hates burdening or bothering people. Because of this one of the most common words out of her mouth is sorry, accompanied with an embarrassed blush.

It was putrid, rotting, burnt and so bad that Ember was terrified to open her eyes. Lying there she noticed that her bed was strangely uncomfortable and wondered if she had fallen asleep on the couch again waiting for Callum to come home after a stressful days work. She didn't have any meat in the house though, Callum had raved about the dangers of meat for days before banning it from the house and the smell was most defiantly overcooked rotting meat. Letting her eyes gently slip open she was met with darkness that she realized was from sleeping under open solid and a touch showed to be wooden. A puzzled look crossed her face before she shoved a fist into her mouth to stave off the screams filling her lungs at the memory of the previous events.
The people in the small village of Castle Combe had found out about her husband's and her own illness. Late one night they had come to the house and after barring the doors and windows they had set fire to in in some vain attempt to prevent B.L.I.S.S. from spreading to their own families. Ember had been asleep beside Callum, when the scent of burning had woken her. She had reacted like lightening, waking her husband she had run down to her sons room and after several hits of a metal chair against his window it had shattered and a few more had removed the barrackade. She had tirelessly moved the mattress and chucked it out the window before telling Andrew to jump. As soon as she was sure he was safely outside she had run back in and as she was dashing down the hall to her husband the roof had collapsed in on her.
She was sure she should thank the heavens they had bought a bungalow, falling through a second story floor or two floors falling on top of her would surely have killed her, but she seemed to be fine other then being slightly bruised. Shifting under the wood she began pushing with her hands until after what seemed like hours one finally freed and she was able to lever herself out, the scent of burning suddenly becoming clear. To her right her husbands mangled corpse lay, burnt and beaten from the anger of the people who had stayed to watch the house burn. She lasted three minutes of heaving before she was sick and she forced her body to work harder so she could avoid looking again. Finally free she looked to the mattress lying there innocently and rushed towards it.
Tripping into a small puddle she was greeted with a vision of her son being hurried along by two middle-aged men. The area was a small valley beside the town and without stopping to think she set off at a panicked run determined to find him and keep him safe from the world that had stolen her husband.

History
Born into an average family with parents the far side of middle-aged, Ember was probably your average child. She didn't have any defining traits other then her beautiful singing voice but with no aspirations for fame that brought her little recognition. She was the middle child of three and with both of her parents too old to care for small children, Ember practically raised her younger sister Christine. Leaving her little time for friends or even relationships, so though she had many friends she was close with none of them. She lived a calm life until just before her seventeenth birthday when she met Callum. She wasn't in love with him, that she knew, but she needed an escape from the loneliness that chased her since her sister had gone to high school and had forgotten about her in favor of other friends.
She fell pregnant one month after her seventeenth and nine months later gave birth to Andrew.With Callum's university grants, state money and care packages from their parents the two were able to live comfortably enough and Ember decided to not attend College in favor of raising Andrew. Andrew was a focus of her world while within the loveless marriage that was made for his sake. Callum contented himself with other women, and Ember was content with their arrangement. Callum was not home long enough for the couple to disagree, so the marriage appeared to be a happy one to their neighbors and friends.
The coming of B.L.I.S.S. nearly spelled the end of her world. Callum got it from a young Japanese girl he had been sleeping with, and after a week was gravely ill with it passing it onto his wife who assumed he was taking drugs and continuing on as normal. Ember's immune system was always weak and she feared that it would kill her. She was especially careful around her son, as she could not remove him from the house with scientists and executioners around but did not want to pass it onto him. It was half way through her illness that the villagers found out about their situation. After much disagreements they decided to burn down the families house and prevent the other s getting it. Ember survived the night through sheer luck of being trapped until a part of the roof and the rain that came and put out the fire.
Her husband was lost however and her son was kidnapped by two humans to be delivered to the executioners or an orphanage depending on whether he had his parents disease. Ember searched high and low using her newly acquired scrying powers, but her search was fruitless with each new lead running cold before she had found him. She has heard to rumored that children who did not catch the disease from their parents have been brought to a testing facility to find out why. She is searching for him still but can only pray that he is safe.
