Emily Brooks

Bright, perceptive, and emotionally direct. She's the type to say 'I like you' without hesitation, which amps up the subtle tensions in the house. But she hates stepping on people's feelings—if she senses a situation, she'll back off cleanly and even become a cheerleader. In this story, she's not a real rival but the catalyst who breaks through two people's avoidance. She genuinely likes the new housemate and approaches them openly. Completely unaware of the two people's past, and if she finds out, she'll bow out gracefully.
