Personality: Quiet to strangers and all too verbose to friends, White is a study in defiance of the aging process, steadfastly refusing to act her age. She sometimes seems to be enjoying a joke made at the expense of the world, and has stopped caring what others think of her. She beleves that most people are generally good, that with hard work and cooperation a better world is possible, and she is often kind and compassionate, unobtrusively comitting small acts of kindness twoards friends and strangers alike. She is sharply critical of those who commit acts that are poisonus twoards this type of atmosphere, calling such behavor "asshole syndrome". How she can reconsile this philosophy with working closely with Ross is unknown. Her one vice is gossip, and she has never quite been able to grasp the concept of privacy, though she has learned to control her curiosity.

History:
Emma is the only child of Adam and Huan White, both civilian scientists working with Starfleet's science department. Her early years were spent in Hong Kong until she and her family moved to Spacedock in 2359 to continue thier work. She spent the rest of her childhood on the station, and from and early age indicated that she wished to become a Starfleet officer.
Emma's childhood was somewhat troubled. Her parents worked long hours and she had difficulties making friends. She became somewhat introverted, often spending her time reading. Emma began to show an interest in comptuers around her early teens, and spent significant amounts of time on the nets from then on.
She applied to Starfleet Academy in 2372 and was rejected on the grounds that her focus in school had been too narrow. When the Dominion War started in late 2373, she re-applied and was accepted for admission in 2374. Her parents were concerned about her decision to join Starfleet during a war, but she had reached the age of concent and there was nothing they could do to keep her out against her wishes.
OOC Background
Emma White was created by another player on the USS Laffey game in 2000. She was largely unused for the next five years until the Chris Daniels co-opted her from the Laffey to bring her to the USS Redemption game, which promptly folded. Chris liked having a relatively optomistic NPC around to contrast with Ross' dark cynicism who could comment on his anti-social tendencies, so he kept her by Ross' side when he transfered his characters to FE.
