Emilia Travers

Emilia Travers is the current head of the Travers Family, first introduced as one of the recruits for the order by Madame Maxime. Her first appearance was in Chapter 96 -The Gala-, She appeared wearing a ceremonial Ronin uniform with her oni-blade which has a silver hilt.

Personality :

Emilia is a single-minded prodigy as described by Daphne Greengrass to Ronald, and a very strong-willed individual with most of her ideas revolving around three main concepts: Family, Honor and Revenge. Emilia is usually harsh, blunt and unforgiving. However, we see another side of her when she reminisces about the times her niece, Audrey Travers visits her in the manor. Emilia sees Audrey as hope for her family.

History :

Emilia was born to Caranthir Augustus Travers and her mother-whose name wasn't mentioned-, Caranthir was the younger brother of Philip Augustus Travers , one of the Dark Lord's Loyalists and as described by Emilia a Sadistic Psychopath. When Emilia was one year old, her uncle had invited her father to dinner where he and his friends had used table knives to butcher him for speaking out against the Dark Lord. Seven men attended that dinner, namely : Lucius Malfoy , Cornelius Nott , Amycus Carrow, Augustus Rookwood, Bartholomeow Goyle, Herbert Crabbe, and Philip Travers. When Emilia's mother was on her death bed - Emilia was 6 at that time- she had told her that story and Emilia had sworn an oath of Blood vengeance against those men.

After going abroad to complete her education and undergoing her Ronin training, she returned to France -where the rest of the Travers Family where banished due to the crimes of Philip Travers even though the rest of them fought along with the Abbots ,Shafiqs , Shacklebolts , Longbottoms , Macmillans , Fawleys, Prewetts and Weasleys- to demand her right as head of her family. However, Emilia discovered her great aunt had been trying to sell the family businesses to Cornelius Nott with the help of a smuggler known as Solomon -a half-troll-. Emilia confronted her and Solomon which resulted in a certain conflict which wasn't elbaorated on but the end results of the conflict were Emilia killing her great aunt, injuring Solomon by cutting his face in half which has left a scar  and claiming her right as the head of the Travers family.

After Madame Maxime agrees to bring in recruits from France's old families to the order, Emilia arrives at the Gala held at Minister Fudge's manor to raise gold for the restoration of St. Mungo. After a brief introduction to Ronald and Madame Maxime confronting her on why she had brought her oni-blade with her, a great part of Emilia's personality is shown as she replies by saying that it is the same as her wand and that it is her weapon which she won't go anywhere without it ; implying that Emilia is a warrior thorough and through. Emilia then has a conversation with Ronald in the gardens before guests are allowed to enter them, in which she says that the greatest sin of wizards is greed-she puts on some examples by the wizards killing the Fae and her own family's inners conflicts- and she asks him to join her as her ally or she would consider him as her enemy ., Ronald advises her against threatening him and she tries to use wandless Legilimency on him only for the Entity to propel her out of Ronald's mind and threaten to eat her. Emilia is visibly shaken by the experience and tries to question Ronald about his nature only for Ronald to refuse her and tell her that the only person who knows about his nature is Albus Dumbledore and that if she tries and question Dumbledore about him, he will obliviate her. Ronald then asks for her to become his partner and tells her about his scars and his part in the order giving Emilia one day to reach a decision either accepting or refusing his proposal. Emilia then watches Ronald as he plays with Astoria Greengrass and Luna Lovegood.

The day after the Gala, she is welcomed into the Order's headquarters by Albus Dumbledore and she learns of the battle of Malfoy manor and as the conversation proceeds , Emilia assures the French families that the ministries are not to be trusted and that they should follow Albus Dumbledore as he is the only man who can withstand the Dark Lord. Emilia then becomes vexed when Lady Abadie shows her greed and desire to become a commander in the army. After the Veela families start arguing about who should be the commander of the veela faction, Emilia states that those who cry out for power are the ones least worthy of it and she leaves the meeting after both assuring the headmaster she will start securing contacts in the darker corners of the magical world and dismissing Sturgis Podmore who wanted to join her on her journey to protect her.

Ron receives a letter carried by a large black owl -who is presumably Emilia's owl- agreeing to his proposal.

Emilia then arrives at The Morgue in Brussels to meet Solomon, we see she has a disdain for Half-breeds as she is disgusted by a half-elf who works for Solomon. That is one of the few things she has in common with Death Eaters. Emilia then meets Solomon and he discloses that he thought that being dead would make his life easier, they then move on o discuss Emilia's Blood vengeance and they negotiate the prices of hiring mercenaries, they settle for 10,000 galleons for Solomon as an upfront payment and 20 galleons for each wand. Solomon then discloses he had a recurrent dream about Emilia being surrounded by fire and watched by a black serpent with red eyes, Emilia immediately recalls Ronald's true form. At last, Emilia warns Solomon that Cornelius Nott will try and recruit him for the Dark Lord's cause and she tells him that the Dark Lord will kill them all.

Solomon then sends a messenger to Emilia to tell her he has an offer she can't refuse, after she arrives, Solomon tells her a cryptic hypothetic scenario about being blind then having your eyesight back and travelling Jews. Emilia is frustrated and Solomon then tells her that the Dark Lord needs unicorn blood and after a few riddles given to Emilia by Solomon indicating he sees both sides as uncaring about him and his ilk, he tells Emilia he wants her to deliver the unicorn blood to Nott Snr., Emilia deciphers that as Solomon choosing his side and he then gives her an order to let one of their people take the unicorn blood as it contains a powerful toxin called "The Banshee's Wail". Solomon then asks her if it's still pissing in Britain and that he'll let one of his people grab his coat. Emilia is satisfied by this fine recruitment of the best smuggling syndicate in Europe.

As the next day arrives, Solomon provides Emilia with 30 men for her war and for the upcoming battle.
