More in Depth?
Personality:
Emma is true to her upbringing, as many would call her stuck up and a snob. Emma does show these qualities quite often, having to prove to herself that she is far better then anyone else, a trait instilled in her by her father from a young age. Often well-mannered and knowledgeable on how to conduct herself for formal events, Emma is and always be a shrew.
Her sarcasm surprises no one by now, and because of it, leaves Emma with few friends. Often times she finds it necessary to belittle others and put them down, though that is a defense mechanism of Emma. Always a leader, Emma likes to get her way, and ensures that she gets it, no matter what the cost.
Being highly intelligent, Emma is a master at manipulating others, without the use of her telepathy even. Some might believe she was born without a care in the world for other people, except that is merely Emma's facade. She is tactical and does nothing without thinking it through thoroughly, though she does have a caring side. Emma has and always will show concern for those placed in her care, usually students.

What I can Do and Can't
Powers:
Telepathy: Emma is an extremely powerful telepath, having gone through multiple mentors in her short life. At one point she was described as an Xavier-level telepath, though that is yet to be truly tested. With her telepathy she is fully capable of taking over someone’s mind, planting illusions in their head, and also releasing her astral form.
Transmorph: Emma can turn her body into diamond, completely indestructible. While the form is very useful, Emma rarely uses it as it does not allow her to use her telepathy. At the same time, she is immune from telepathic probes as well.
Abilities: Emma is a fairly skilled fighter without the use of her powers.
Weaknesses: Like any telepath, it works both ways, and she can be taken over by other telepaths. However, when in her diamond form, Emma's only real weakness is the loss of her telepathy, as nothing can harm her mentally or physically.
What Happened to Me
Emma’s childhood was extremely difficult growing up. She was born into an incredibly wealthy family, but with that came the demands of her parents. In school, she was a typical B student, but was constantly berated for never have straight A’s. On top of that, Emma was rarely allowed to attend school functions due to her poor grades. When it came to school, Emma had to commute long hours each day, as her father would not allow her to simply live at Snow Valley like the rest of the girls.
Throughout all the stress that was put on her by her parents, Emma managed to stay sane by growing ever closer to her brother, Christian. He was a huge part of her early years, and they often bonded over their mutual dislike towards their father. It wasn’t until her adolescence that their bond began to weaken. Emma had begun to have extremely painful headaches, a classic sign of an emerging telepath, though that was unknown to Emma. Christian worried over the health of his younger sister, but agreed to keep it a secret from their parents for fear of how they might react.
When her powers did begin to manifest, Emma kept it a secret from everyone, including her brother. She used her powers to her advantage to gain the superior grades she desired in school, as well as further her knowledge period. In school, she caught the eye of her teacher, Ian Kendell, who urged Emma to explore the possibility of a future in education, though Emma mistook his interest as something sexual. When she tried to kiss him one day, he shockingly pushed her away, though that was not enough for Emma’s father, who found out and had the teacher fired. More bitterness towards her father erupted in Emma, though she did well not to show it.
After graduating from high school at an early age, Emma discovered that Christian, Cordelia and their mother were slipping into drug addiction. When Christian tried to commit suicide, Emma realized that she could no longer keep it a secret. Telling her father, Winston promised that he would put his son in rehab, though later changed his mind and had his son locked away in a mental institution. It was then that Winston offered Christian’s inheritance to Emma, but horrified at her father’s actions, Emma refused it and said she would find her own way in life, without his help.
Leaving with only four hundred dollars, Emma’s first years were hard as she was only fifteen years old. Taking odd jobs, Emma met Troy Killkelly during a job in which they were both dishwashers. Getting into the gambling scene, Emma used her telepathy to win, but quickly spent the money, leaving them with nothing to pay the gang that Troy had gotten involved with. In a flash of brilliance, Troy suggested they pose as kidnappers, sending a ransom tape to Emma’s father. Upon receiving the tape, her father claimed that she was not worth his money.
This sparked the real kidnapping of Emma, as the gang killed Troy and kept Emma for themselves. Adrienne, who was upset with her father for accusing her to stealing his money, leaked the tape to the media, forcing him to pay the ransom or have his image hurt publically. When the ransom was paid, Emma used her telepathy to confuse the gang and made them kill each other as she left with the $160,000 ransom, moving to New York and enrolling in Empire State University.
Here Emma met up with her old teacher, Ian, who was now a professor at ESU and dating a friend of Emma’s. The more they discussed what had become of their lives since parting, the closer they grew. ESU is also where Emma met Astrid Bloom, another telepath who agreed to help Emma with her powers. However, Astrid showed that she did not have the morals she claimed to have, and had a deep dislike of humans, freighting Emma a bit.
After spending time together, the romantic bond grew between Emma and Ian, leading him to break up with his girlfriend, Celeste. When Celeste threatened to ruin his job over it, he began choking her, before realize what he was doing, unsure of what had come over him. When Emma probed his mind, she realized that it was Astrid who had come over Ian, and battled the other girl on the astral plane. Being the superior telepath, Emma easily defeated Astrid, though killed her in the process. The deceit that Astrid had showed her further confirmed Emma’s thoughts that she could not trust anyone else.
In an attempt to stop Celeste from getting Ian fired, Emma took control of her mind and forced her to appear mentally unstable in front of the board. Revealing herself as a mutant to Ian, and that it was she who saved his job, Emma was turned away by the shocked and scared man. Finally, Emma admitted that Astrid was right about people.
By now Emma was quickly running out of money, and that was when she turned to the Hellfire Club. In her audition, Emma used her beauty, charm and abilities to get her the job as a dancer. Whenever she was asked for private dancers, she would then use her mind controlling powers to force men to give up their money to her. This worked well until she tried it on Charles Xavier and Moira MacTaggert, who were looking to recruit Emma for a team. After being pushed into joining, Emma finally refused and Charles, realizing it had been a mistake, wiped Emma’s mind of that memory as well as anyone else who was a part of it.
It didn’t take long for Emma to rise to success in the Hellfire Club, growing her personal fortune quickly and investing it in stocks in a company about electronics. Eventually Emma was majority shareholder in the company, and as the new CEO, she renamed it Frost International. From this success, she became the headmistress of the Massachusetts Academy, a college prep school. This success is what led to her invitation as part of the upper ranks of the Hellfire Club. And where she would meet her future lover, Sebastian Shaw.
On the orders of Sebastian, Emma and other members were to take out the Black King and White Queen, though things turned when they called a sentinel in on the group. In the midst of the battle, Sebastian’s wife was killed, and he was left grief-stricken. From here, he vowed revenge. Ordering Emma to force the Black King to kill his own wife, Sebastian then killed the Black King and declared himself the new Black King, and Emma his queen, earning her the name White Queen.
Throughout her time with the Hellfire Club, Emma encountered and battled the X-Men many times. The majority of this came from Emma’s attempts to steal Kitty Pryde away from them, turning her into one her Hellions. Underground her Massachusetts Academy, Emma trained mutants, a group that became known as the Hellions, and completely under the control of the Hellfire Club. Emma and the X-Men fought constantly, back and forth, over and over, though neither would ever accept defeat. At one point, Emma even went so far as to trade places with Storm, using her mental abilities. Storm, now in Emma’s body, gained enough control over Emma’s powers to reverse the switch.
Eventually Emma moved to Genosha where she witnessed extreme attacks on mutants. This is when she was offered the opportunity to turn her life around and join the X-Men. Accepting a teaching position for telepaths, Emma found herself a new love interest in Scott Summers. Though Emma and Jean Grey have never gotten along, Emma does not hide her feelings for Scott.

writing sample:
Smiling at the reflection in the mirror, Emma lightly ran a hand through her blonde hair, making sure it was perfect. Picking up the tube of light red lipstick, she quickly applied it to her lips, certain that she was ready for the day. Taking a last glance in the full-body mirror, Emma loved her tight jeans and light blue blouse, cut low to show off her cleavage, though not too badly. It was New York after all, a chilly state. Completing the outfit with black boots, Emma left her staff suite.
Walking down the hallway, Emma’s hips swayed ever so seductively as she entered the main part of the school, running into students and staff alike. A few well placed smiles and winks to the male staff, Emma could hear the particularly naughty thoughts of them. “Maybe later hun, tonight I already have a date.”
Oh how they hated when she read their thoughts, a faint rose coming over one instructor’s cheeks. Emma was, after all, the school seductress. Proud of her work, Emma took a turn towards the foyer, finally ready to start her day.
