- Soldier throughout all three games, plain and simple.

Emily’s father died in combat when she was four. Due to his sudden death, the Alliance was a bit more lenient in letting her mother bring her along on her (non critical) assignments.
Prior to the events of ME1, Emily was, more or less, a ‘by the books’ soldier. It was the crew and the hardships they faced together that really helped lighten her up over the course of chasing down Saren.
She grew particularly close to both Ashley and Kaidan, finding in them the friends she’d never really had. Virmire hit hard; it was only through regulations in rank that she chose to save Kaidan over Ashley, and that decision still haunts her today.
Though she can be diplomatic to a fault when need be, Emily has a bit of a sarcastic streak when she’s dealing with people who are really starting to annoy her (read: snide journalists)
She’s not above punching somebody when she really needs to get her point across.
Emily stayed loyal to the Alliance throughout the games. Having to work for Cerberus was something that, under different circumstances, she wouldn’t have ever fathomed. Even as a Spectre, she still puts the Alliance first.
She was never very fond of romance, maybe a boyfriend here or there in the past when she was younger. Her feelings for Kaidan completely blindsided her. Horizon hurt, but it didn’t change much of how she felt, when she saw in retrospect how ridiculous both of them were (or how awful the dialogue options were…)
Though she seems rigid to those who don’t know her, Emily is actually very playful and friendly once you make it past her cool exterior.
Surprisingly, Emily and Miranda became good friends. Not as close as she had been to Ashley (most likely due to Miranda’s distant nature), but she still respected her and grew fonder of her than she’d imagined.
Though she tries, she really doesn’t have any patience at all.
She often has to be reminded to take personal time away from work.
After Emily destroyed the Reapers, she went back to serving the Alliance on the Normandy, rebuilding the galaxy and doing Spectre work on the side with Kaidan and any of the crew members who could occasionally join them.
