Hardening: The ability to harden any vegetation or wood enough to fight against celestial bronze and the like.(Two emotes to harden it, can only harden four things until exhaustion issues arise).

Chlorokinesis: Without vegetation, it takes four emotes to form a decent sized vine (About six feet long) strong enough to hold a demigod, and of any vine-grown foods. With vegetation or trees/plants, it only takes three. Further focus allows it to grow and more food to appear. After ten focus emotes, you feel exhausted. It takes 2 emotes to summon a small flower without vegetation, and 1 emote with vegetation.

Life Before Camp
It all started with how Emelia was born. Her father, Lorenzo Vinci met her mother the Goddess Demeter at the flower beds in a nearby park in Rimini. They had spent some time together and eventually, Lorenzo fell in love with the Goddess. 9 months later, out popped Emelia and his love disappeared from them forever. Her older half-sister Katherine had always been there for her. She accepted Emelia with open arms, however; Emelia always felt like she was just in her shadow. She was nothing like her half-sister when she was younger she was shy, having social anxieties didn’t help her either. Her sister was pretty, bolder, and just better. She felt as if she could never live up to that standard. Sure, she was pretty but next to her sister she was just the rock and Katherine was the diamond.

Emelia would work in her aunts flower shops during some days, always feeling that in nature she felt free, and normal. Not in a social gathering like her sister, this cause Emelia to slowly fall into a depression. Because not only was social gatherings difficult for her, the girls meek personality had made her a target for bullying. It wasn’t until the girls got older that Katherine tried to help Emelia overcome her social fears, becoming more confident and social. She still worked in the flower shop part time, taking care of the flowers. Katherine also spent time in the shop - but clearly not for the same reasons as her younger sister, mostly to flirt with the boys who came into the shop.

One day, the pair of sisters were approached by a regular patron in Aria’s flower shop. When he introduced himself as a satyr, and explained to the girls their godly heritage. And so the sisters said their goodbyes to their father and their aunt, and they travelled from Italy to America in order to join Camp Half Blood. The reason being was not knowing a lot about their mother the sisters just wanted to be closer with their mothers. Their father had been quite distant while they were growing up due to the fact that he had lost two of his loves. He would be okay with their daughters leaving, he barely took care of them either way. Normally leaving them with Aria. They wanted to discover who they truly were, and they were never going to get that in Italy. So off they went to camp, and they have been there ever since.

Life During Camp
During her camp life Emilia normally kept to herself, she normally is very talkative when Katherine is around and with her. However, Katherine wasn't with her all the time. The two were both claimed about a couple days after coming to camp, while they were both in the mess-hall. And since the two were both born from different godly mothers. Katherine soon found herself with the Aphrodite kids, while Emelia found herself with the other Demeter kids. Some of the kids at camp were nice, she wished she could say the same for the rest. Her meek personality being a target for most Ares kids insults and badgering. Her Demeter siblings barely even standing up for her. Her depression spiraling out of control, she still kept on a kind front to the others. As she tried to find the good things about being there. Such as the North-forest, where she would spend hours upon hours just laying in the flowerbeds cloud-gazing. Which is how she met her soon to be boyfriend: Jason King. The two met and having a healthy and strong relationship every since. Sooner or later Emelia was voted to become the Demeter Cabin Leader which had surprised her, as she started to come over her fears. Starting to find her voice, and fight for what she had believed in. However, it wasn’t until she began to spiral once more. She started to take medication and see a therapist, but when it had gotten too much for her to handle: Emelia left camp resigning her Cabin Leader position.

Present Day
After leaving the camp, Emelia traveled back to Europe and packed up her things. Deciding that what she needed was to be on her own for awhile. She left for her first stop: Greece, where she stayed with a lovely older couple who showed her around Naxos. Where she continued to further her knowledge in Greek Mythology and the Greek language itself, also traveling to the Temple of Demeter while she stayed in Naxos. After, she then continued to travel to Paris, France where she met a boy and girl by the name of Lacey Nordin and Blaise Corbin. It is unknown if they were demigods like herself, but she had her suspicions when she had first met the two. The three of them became friends rather quickly, all having in common that they were backpacking across Europe. They all put together their money and stayed in a hotel located a about a couple blocks away from the Eiffel Tower. After staying in France for a couple more weeks, Emelia had grown close with the two. Blaise teaching her French and Lacey teaching her some German, as Switzerland was the next place the two had invited her to come along with them. Which is where Emelia decided to change her look, cutting her waist length hair to a short hairstyle. Which she enjoyed very much, happy with the decision that she made. Just as Emelia was about to travel to their next stop, Sweden she felt a longing feeling for her boyfriend Jason. Deciding that she would instead travel back to the states, since mentally the girl was feeling much better. She felt stronger as well. So she packed up her belongings and traveled back to New York. Which is where Emelia is as of right now.
