She has little to no battle experience and is more of a runner, she does not know how to wield any weapon. She does not know how to use alchemy and has never touched a gun in her life yet. She is quick on her feet and very limber, easily moving out of the way of obvious attacks, she was taught to fight hand to hand. She prefers to avoids fights because she hates pain.

She hates not being able to accomplish uncovering the facts she wants, she hates lies and those that would betray their friends unjustly. She dislikes ghosts and being pranked or spooked. She dislikes large amounts of quiet and most of all she hates being told no. Its not an unusual thing but it seems extra strong in her, even when she was little.

Ember is extremely loyal, never ill wishing or betraying those that trust her. She keeps secrets extremely well unless it is wrongful. She respects those of the military as well as other adults. She rarely talks to adults though, so few know this fact. She will follow orders when necessary but prefers to be free.

Ember Lumina is not actually a Lumina at all. She was born to the Emperor and Empress of Avalon. At birth she was given a locket that was always given to the first girl in the family. The locket was special in many ways. It was closed with alchemy in case something happened. Even when she was born she was a happy child, her big blue eyes shining brightly.
Shortly after her birth though she was stolen from her nursery by a some men wanting to ransom her off. Their hideout was just outside of the border between Avalon and Amestris. She was discovered by a mercenary hired to find some killer and taken from the hide out after the people who kidnapped her where caught. Not know who the child belonged to Fiona the mercenary put her in a good orphanage. The necklace still around her neck. She was taken in and cared for. Fed and checked, the necklace was taken and put in an envelope for safe keeping.
A year passed and she was not adopted, nor did her parent come to claim her. She was an active child crawling on the floor and had just been able to run across a room when Flair came to the orphanage looking to adopt. She had recently retired from her detective agency and wanted to raise a child. She was barren and her husband had died so adoption was what she was looking for.
She adopted Ember because she was what she was looking for. A happy child that was active and loved everyone. Flair signed the papers and took the envelope that had all the items that had been with Ember when she was found. Flair took Ember home and started raising her. She was happy and the house was perfectly set for her. All sorts of things to climb and jump off of.
When she was four the males that had kidnapped her as a child found her. At first they did not realize that it was the same child but then one pointed out, how many children are there with red hair and blue eyes. In an attempted to get what they had once been able to they kidnapped her again. They where planning to contact the people of Avalon when Fiona came in.
Fiona kicked their asses and killed them. She rescued Ember who had to go to the hospital for the wounds on her wrists. The ropes had been too tight and she had been working on trying to escape. She would forever have rope scars on her wrists. It took a bit of time for them to heal. While at the hospital Fiona talked to Flair and told Flair the truth. Ember was royalty and had been kidnapped at birth.
Fiona decided to stay and teach Ember some things to survive. Ember took to the acrobatics and hand to hand with ease. She enjoyed sparring. Fiona was proud to hand down everything she had learned to Ember and Ember was proud to receive it. She was an apt learner even at a young age, and even though at times it was tedious she always did it and looked forward to the future.
When she was five she started regular school as well. Although she did not receive good grades she understood everything they had said. Just did not want to write it all down again. She usually skipped home work and school work and practiced instead. Although she always aced her tests. School was fairly fun for her, she was seen as odd but always had fun.
When she was seven she ended up in a fight with someone twice her size. The boy had thought it would be easy but in less then two minuets she had him rolling on the ground in pain. She had done nothing but turn his attacks back on him. The principal talked with her mother and Flair had Ember relay everything she had done and the reason it had happened. Ember was excused from getting in trouble but was told not to do it again.
After Ember turned ten Fiona had to leave. Fiona told Ember it was to find a cure. But in truth it was so that the Royals could not track her to Ember. She was cautious and did not think they where aware but did not want to take the chance. At the time Ember was unaware of it but in the course of six years her mother and Fiona had become incredibly close, with a bond that would not break.
With Fiona gone Ember grew restless, she practiced daily but she was filled with a void. She started to avidly read random books. She was taken to the books on cars. She read just about anything that caught her interest. And although she did not always use it, it exists in her head waiting to be called out. She has a near photographic memory.
When she turned twelve Flair sat her down. She was told that she was adopted and that if someday she wanted to visit her family they would. She gave Ember the locket, Ember put on the locket and never removes it. She also received her first pair of goggles from Fiona via mail. Although it was rare to get mail from her on occasion it did happen and it always came with gifts. At the moment Ember did not care to much about her real parents, because to her Flair and Fiona where her parents.
A half a year after she was told she was adopted Flair took Ember to travel across Avalon. The time was taken off school and the money was saved for years. Ember fell in love with Avalon but still love Amestris. She told Flair how it felt familiar to her. Like a home. They came on the rare day where outsiders where allowed to walk around the Royal estate.
Somehow Ember got lost. Although she did not panic, she just kept walking hopeful to find someone. She was not scared because she was sure it would be ok. She ended up literally being run into by the crown prince. Not that Ember knew that. She scrunched her face at him after standing, helping him up and wrapping his scrape. He wash brash and did not seem very nice but Ember was never disrespectful.
Eventually some guards found them. They took the Prince back to his lessons and escorted Ember to the front door where she was greeted by her mother by a big hug. She hugged Ember tight and cried a little. Ember relayed the story of what happened. Flair was proud that Ember had been so calm and happy that she was ok. She had been terribly scared.
When she turned fourteen she started to save money from her odd jobs and misc things. She knew that her mother was saving so that they could move but Ember wanted to help. Ember would use her skills to save pets and find out who stole the cookies from the jars. Her payment was always donations but the people always where grateful and happy to give her some extra every once in a while.
For three years she saved, when she turned seventeen she told Flair about her savings and was wondering if there was enough to move yet. Flair was shocked at the amount Ember had managed to save up and laughed at the question. Flair in turn told Ember that there had been more then enough for years but she was unsure if Ember would be able to adapt. They shortly moved to central.
After arriving in Central Ember made Flair come out of retirement and sent her to travel and do what she loved. Ember set up a mechanic shop out of their home and maintained a nice income. She continued to do all the things she loved including roof hopping and dancing. She still always had her necklace with her and never took it off. She became known as the red headed goggled mechanic on the fifth drive.
Two years has since passed, she is now nineteen and travels allot. She has a nice amount of money in the bank and is happy with her current life. She likes to fix cars and see new models. She has many plans and even now does not know the truth of her birth. But she may soon.
-Roleplay Sample:
(from old site, I can do better now though also for the most part this is old Ember)
Ember ran along the clothes lines. Her cords flew behind her and her clothes moved swiftly as she ran. She had her goggles on to avoid bugs. Her eyes darted below for a moment, she had always enjoyed the height. The rush of the wind the higher you get the fact that few people would get that high. Like ninjas, that's what she was hunting for right now on her way to an important place.
She had always been a little obsessed with the thought of ninjas. Ever since Fiona told her a story with some in them. They sounded so cool, she wanted to learn from one. She also wanted to be a mechanic, join the military and get married, but she figured she would find a way to mesh them all together someday.
Flair her mother was out on work, having restarted her detective business since Ember told her she could. Flair loved being a detective and Ember loved to see those around her happy. Flair had been contacted by an old friend to do a quick job. So Ember was alone for a few days. Even though her birthday was less then a week away.
Ember jumped off the cord and rolled onto a roof, she made her way to the side and climbed down. She was headed to the Central Hq. She was gonna lurk around some more. She had heard about a Colonel that had a habit of being a flirt. She had also heard he was rather cute. She smiled slightly, she loved playing pranks on cute boys.
