E is for Emma

It’s time for ‘E is for Emma’. Yes, that’s you. The only character I’ve ever written in second person. You were inspired by ‘Homestuck’, when I was intrigued by how the four kids; John, Rose, Dave, and Jade were all developed as intriguing, well rounded characters in the second person perspective. It made me want to try it myself, so I created you. You’re very dear to my heart, since you have many traits close to my own. Ever since I read the first edition of ‘Wraith the Oblivion’, you’ve been developing in my mind. Here is a snippet from a collection of short stories and fragments I’ve written about you called ‘Your Name is Emma’.

You pull your black cap down a little more, although it doesn’t cover your ears. Your long, auburn hair does, although you wish it was thick, rather than a wayward mass of strands. You have a pale, heart-shaped face and round, dark eyes. You’re wearing a shapeless brown sweater that hides any hints of feminity and black jeans. Your hands are fiddling with a mechanical pencil and a notebook on the table in front of you rather than a laptop.
