Ema Skye 3/lots

[detectscience.livejournal.com]

Personality:

Those who can; do. Those who can’t; call it forensic science anyway. That’s just one of Ema’s many coping mechanisms for having lost her chance at her dream job. Other choice methods include crunching on snackoos when frustrated, grumbling and glaring her way through investigations, and ordering new forensics equipment to test it out. She doesn’t like being interrupted while working, especially by shiny, happy defense attorneys who don’t know any better. She’s often in a bad mood, and that bad mood tends to get made worse depending on the situation. If she messes up the investigation or Klavier’s involved, expect the snackoos to start flying. She’s at her angriest when Klavier makes a fool out of her on a case, which deftly combines the two.

There’s still evidence of Ema’s inner sixteen year old, if you know where to look. Science makes her happy, and investigating using it makes her even happier. Unfortunately for her, her interest in science is directly proportional to her lack of talent. She still doesn’t know relatively simple things, like what unit of measurement is used for gun calibers. She has to consult the instruction manual when using the items she borrows from the department. She breaks things in crime scenes. Still, when discussing science, expect an instantaneous shift in mood from grumpy to ecstatic.

For all her grumbling, she’s quick to call people friends. She considers Apollo one after a single day of investigating. Granted, science was involved, but it’s the principle of the thing. While she doesn’t quite fangirl the way she used to, she still harbors a deep admiration for Mr. Wright and presumably Mr. Edgeworth. In particular, she outright states that everything she has now is because of Mr. Wright. In addition, she prefers her prosecutors “cool of wit and furrowed of brow”. More simmerous, less glimmerous.

Even with her grumpiness, Ema’s still very idealistic. She’ll complain about Klavier until she’s blue in the face, but she’s found a way to be happy with where she is. It doesn’t matter what her actual title is, because she knows what’s inside her heart. She still thinks it’s important to help as many people as possible. She’s remarkably well-adjusted, despite her life not turning out as she planned. She’s occasionally rather brilliant, but most often fairly lazy about it. Even though she’ll never have all the answers, her enthusiasm for science remains.

More than anything else, Ema’s grown up. Just not entirely.

Other:

She’s being taken from DDD canon, with all the changes intact! She’ll be remembering her (makinganote)’s past CR. Basically, consider this a timeskip. If there’s any changes to the timeline due to the AUing, she’d know about them but keep mum. The important part is that she’s more or less treating Apollo, Klavier, and other AJ cast as if she’s at the end of the game.
