Emilia Greene knew, from a very young age, that she was not like the other "proper", demure little girls around her. She has paid little mind to those who wish to control her actions. In fact her parents will recount the small mental breakdown of a tutor after a year-long debate on how to properly write the letter "O". 

Her tolerance for disrespect hit an all-time low when a rather snobby Countess mocked Emilia for living with her beloved lunatic (without a license). Some say the slap mark on the Countess' face can still be seen in certain light. After that, Emilia fell in with Bone & String and she took up the post as bosun, working alongside her lunatic -who is among the crew (many have speculated-none have dared to question).

Emily Sullivan has been a performer most of her life, as a singer, and enjoys being the sarcastic/sassy "cat-herder" in the crew.
