Emma Woods | Gardener

Lisa Beck was born on December 21st, 1876 to Leo and Martha Beck, and lived in a cottage in Devonshire. Her father made her small toys using fabric from his textile factory and treated her well. However, her father was severely in-debt, and was pushed into further debt when his close friend, Freddy Riley, convinced him to purchase the Minerva Arms Factory. This caused an argument with his wife Martha, which caused her to leave him and elope with Freddy. Lisa watched her parents' relationship deteriorated from the sidelines and how her father began to turn to alcoholism. Lisa's life spiraled further as Leo began selling off items in the house and they experienced several break-ins from thieves. Lisa matured quickly and, though her father started bringing Lisa to the factory, she was left alone a lot.

Eventually, Leo was unable to provide properly for her and Lisa was put into an orphanage on White Sand Street. Leo sent messages and money to the priest for Lisa's care, but the money was likely embezzled by the corrupt staff. Lisa's only solace was the broken teddy bear her father made her before sending her to the orphanage. Overcome with debt, Leo wrote Lisa as the primary Beneficiary of Compensation connected to an insurance policy, and the factory was burned down with him inside of it. Although this meant she had inherited a notable sum of money, she may not have had access to it until adulthood, and after the death of her mother, she remained in the orphanage.

The orphanage was quickly transitioned into the White Sand Street Asylum after the connected church clinic diagnosed a large portion of the orphanage with mental illnesses, and Lisa began being treated as a mental patient. On October 9th, 1889, Lisa was able to escape the asylum, but met Kreacher Pierson, who notified a nurse to bring her back. Among the volunteers was Lydia Jones, (later known as Emily Dyer) who gave Lisa electroshock therapy, which resulted in negative long-term side effects. Around 1893, Lisa escaped from the asylum (which was later shut down and abandoned) with help from Orpheus, a visiting novelist. Orpheus provided Lisa with money and helped her change her name to Emma Woods. With her new identity, Emma relocated to Somerset and opened a small flower shop, where she became well-liked by her customers.

She would later, likely at age 22, receive a letter inviting her to the Oletus Manor, with a single thistle flower included in the letter. She was lured to the game not with the promise of money or other wishes, but to be reunited with someone from her past who was specifically called an "old friend" in the letter. As she has interacted with each of the other members in her game–Freddy who was her dad's friend, Kreacher who sponsored the orphanage she was at, Emily who treated her at the Asylum, as well as her father being the Hunter–it is uncertain who her "friend" was.

Before leaving, Emma closed down her shop and planted some Miss Willmott's ghost flowers nearby as her farewell to Somerset. Her traits were previously translated as Kind, Gentle, Meticulous, Assertive.

Appearance: Emma is a slender woman with peach skin, green eyes with thin brown eyebrows, brown hair parted into two bangs and pulled into a bun, and freckles. Her mouth is pulled into a permanent, serene smile.

She wears a green apron with a small scrap of white fabric with a black "×", "□", and "○" from left to right, and multiple stitched, faded green patches over a collared white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, jeans, a leather belt holding a pair of shears and a red watering can, and leather ankle boots with shiny black heels. A large straw hat sits on her head, and she wears white gloves. A tear is visible in her left forearm, showing cotton stuffing. She holds a green metal toolkit with a grey handle, a lid fastened by a matching clasp, and a light grey symbol of a spanner in her right hand.
