Emma

Emma is small for her age. Her arms are skinny, her shoulders thin, her fists too small to do much damage. Yet according to her file in the orphanage office, she has been in twenty-three documented fights.

Unlike her brother and sister, Emma has no memory of their parents. Michael and Kate are her only family, and the orphanage the only world she has ever known. As such, it has one rule: when you stop fighting, you're finished.

Emma's file does not say that each of her fights was with children older and bigger than herself. And that she won all twenty-three.
