PERSONALITY:
Emma is a kind young woman, she likes to help people if she can and rarely has a harsh word to say to anyone. That's not to mean she's a doormat, she will stand up for herself is she must but with how she was raised, she is one to try and de-escalate tense situations. Emma does have a slight stubborn streak in her, sometimes she will butt heads with others if the situation calls for it but she rather prides herself in not appearing too obstinate.
HISTORY:
Emma was born to a loving mother and stern father in a large and ever-growing family. With her father's focus mostly on her brothers, her mother Annette did most of the caring for Emma. Annette was stern in her own way, trying to make sure that Emma grew up to be a proper noble lady so that when she married shew wouldn't disappoint her husband and her new family but yet she was careful to not squash her passions. At the young age of ten, she started to thread things together, using cords and twine or fabric- anything she could get her hands on to make things. Often using broken bits of glass that she rubbed smooth on sandpaper to make it into 'gems' to adorn the pieces- she would often gift these creations to her parents and siblings, rather proud of her crafty work.
It only took a year of her constantly doing this for her mother to have asked her father if she could get her a jewelers kit. Nothing fancy but it would give her more tools and cheap gemstone pieces for her to work with. This started her growing passion and love for making jewelry and in showing that this wasn't a phase, she was given a teacher to help her learn about the gemstones she worked with, as well as the metals and possible cords that went with it.
With her lessons on how to be a proper lady and her learning the skills, it would take to be a jeweler, Emma was a rather happy young woman. She would work in her office room- ok she called it her office but it was a workroom her father gave her- often with her mother in there to go over lessons but also marvel and help keep inspiring her daughter to keep doing this.
When she turned sixteen she would be introduced to the Roquefort family and would start to do business with them in buying gemstones from them. It wasn't a surprise when the Davide tried to be stingy with the gems or overpriced them but in doing so she learned how to navigate and word things properly to get the most gems for her coin- even if it drove her nuts. Sometimes she would resort to having her brother Roland help her when it came to these dealings. It was always nice to have him stick up for her and help her when she really needed it and asked for it.
The years ticked by, Emma would grow a rather fond clientele of her work and she had grown ever closer to the Roquefort family- mostly the daughters, she enjoyed talking to them and getting to know them when tragedy struck when she just turned twenty. In the war, she lost her two older brothers, that blow to the family left Emma and her parents shaken and pained. Emma couldn't remember having cried so hard but worse off her dear mother, the woman who helped nurture and foster Emma's passion and hobby took her own life. It was a dark time in the Savatier home and even more so for Emma because she became sullen and withdrawn and hid in her room. Emma had been so close to her mother, trying to support her even at the loss of her baby sister but nothing Emma did could help ease the pain of a mother's loss.
It took a good long year before Emma was able to pull herself from her depression and sadness, she still worked but the light and joy of it were coming back and the pieces she made better than ever. Her father, in turn, became more protective of her as her brothers had been and showed even more support in her being a jeweler so gave her more of an allowance to be able to get the best quality there was and she was making a rather lovely profit from it. At her request, it went into her dowery as well as into the home as well.
Emma took on being the Lady of the estate, her warm loving self coming back- though on the anniversary she often kept to herself to quietly mourn for her brothers, sister and mother; she was making a small name for herself and hopefully adding to how well known her family name was.
