Emma Kim

"Every day I was told I'm a failure. Every day I was told I couldn't amount to anything. And now here I am. I'm sorry, it's just ... a lot to take in."

- Emma discussing her first impressions of Camp Half-Blood Emma Kim is a seventeen-year old Greek Demigod, the daughter of Aphrodite and Jamie Kim, and one of the counselors of Aphrodite's cabin in Camp-Half-Blood.

Early Life:
Emma Diana Kim was born on July 22, 2002, to Aphrodite and Jamie Kim. Her father experienced severe depression when Emma was but a toddler, and spending most of his days crying in his bedroom. Due to the fact that her father paid little attention to his young daughter, Emma had to mature fast, being able to make her own food, clean their house, and the rest of the behavior required for a parent rather than a 6 year old girl. She spent most of her time taking care of her father, but when school came around, life became slightly more difficult. School was incredibly difficult for her. Despite being fairly intelligent, Emma found reading the most painful thing to succeed in, and often described how the words would "move across the page" or even sometimes "swim". Additionally, her restless ability, later identified to be ADHD, caused many of her teachers to simply describe her as "a disruption to class", despite the fact that she rarely spoke. She jumped around schools significantly, though was never outwardly expelled from any one of them. Her father, sending her to special schools and tutor help to "cure" her dyslexia, never understood that Emma was a very unusual child. Never understood how his daughter was a demigod.

Appearance:
Emma has been described as pretty for her age, but her appearance was not anything that ever seemed to matter to her. Her hair, long, straight and jet-black, falls down her back but is often frizzy and disheveled, wild and free, sometimes even described as "unpresentable" by children of Aphrodite. Her eyes, though narrow and tilted like her father, are a deep hazel color. This feature is what makes most look twice at Emma when she walks past, her fairly large, tilted, and bright eyes that are often weighed down with fatigue or several burdens. She rarely smiles, but when she does, it certainly counts for something, her dimples shining through and eyes bright and interesting. She is thin and is known to wear oversized sweatshirts, which accentuate her lack of fat even more. Emma owns delicate features and is shorter than most, standing at 5 feet tall, not an inch more.
