Emma Carew

Background

Emma Carew was born on the 27th May 1785, making her the oldest Founder. She was born into a half magical family in Saint Augustine, Florida.

She was a frustrated nine year old who wanted to go to a magical school, but couldn't as her family couldn't afford for her to travel to Europe and back every year for seven years.

Her Father came up with the solution by moving to York, in the hope that she'd meet more magical people.

Founder of Pamplemousse and Pepperdew

She had the idea of creating a school, and her friend Charlotte Stone agreed. Dom Delacour, another friend, came up with the name, and another girl, Tabby James, agreed to help.

George Miner appeared out of nowhere, and Carew had wondered how he did for the rest of her life. He was the person who brought all of their ideas together, but Emma couldn't help but notice the odd mannerisms and how he'd always shove them in a certain direction when it came to the school. It took her all of three months to work out he was in fact from the future. She decided that the fact should remain secret, and so never told anyone of her suspicions.

Her wise nature helped create Pepperdew, a haven for the knowledgable and obsessive.

Later Life and Death

Not soon after Charlotte and George's wedding, Emma met fellow Pepperdew Professor Johnathan Taylor and fell in love. They were married in 1807.

They had a daughter in 1811, who they named Elizabeth. Elizabeth later married Dominique 's son Asa. The same year, she was entrusted with Charlotte and George's child, as Charlotte had died of a broken heart.

Emma died in 1842, aged 46. She was able to raise both Elizabeth and Edward into adulthood before she died.

After Death

Her voice lived inside Professor Lawn's head and she argued with the voice of Charlotte Stone rather often, driving Caitlin to near insanity.

Her spirit lived on within Cameron Doolan.
