5. On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
Officially, Emily's job is being organized on Freddy's behalf, so she carries a day planner full of meticulous notes. She has a sentimental streak, so I think she would have some kind of memento from an early date with Freddy tucked inside -- a pressed flower, a ticket stub, something like that.
14. Does your character remember names or faces easier?
I think Emily has to be good with names, both as a function of her job and her status as a member of the nobility. She has to know the names of all the political players within Armorica, as well as the names of their spouses, kids, siblings, cousins, friends, rivals...
44. How easy or difficult is it for your character to say “I love you?” Can they say it without meaning it?
Sentimental as she is, Emily is also quite proud. Saying "I love you" is a really vulnerable and emotionally honest statement, and I don't think either of those things are easy for her. She doesn't want to lose face and she doesn't want to risk having her feelings hurt...she doesn't even call Freddy by that name -- most of the time, he's still 'Frederick' to her.
Thank you for the ask! I love Emily, I feel like I never get to talk about her!
