BIOGRAPHY
Emmy is a self-taught mechanic, fabricator, and all-around hot rodder. She grew up taking things apart and building them back up bigger and better. But she didn't want to just be good at what she did. She wanted to be the best at it. And that passion is what drives her.
A gifted and adaptable drifter with a long list of talents, Emmy is wise beyond her years and survives by doing what others can’t or won't. She is a savvy negotiator, street smart and confident. Her ability to generate trade and secure virtually anything is second to none.
Subscribing to a dog-eat-dog philosophy, Emmy is realistic about what people are capable of, but still chooses to believe in them when others have given up. Emmy values camaraderie, but possesses a strong sense of self-preservation and self-interest. It's not always clear to those around her which side of her character will win out in the end, as her moral compass has a tendency to spin and her reckless nature can sometimes make her unpredictable.FAMILY.
Emeline Marie Melancon was born January 20, 1990 in Crowley, a city in and the parish seat of Acadia Parish, Louisiana. Her mother, Bridget Melancon, is a published novelist and only daughter of Russell "Beau" Melancon, a military veteran and retired heavy equipment operator. Beau's wife, Erlene (née Harrington), is a homemaker and licensed beautician. Emmy is of Cajun descent.Emmy's father, Liam Grady, is an American businessman, political boss, and racketeer. As a boy, Liam dropped out of school and joined a gang, committing petty theft and other misdemeanors, until he developed a protection racket prior to organized crime. Soon after meeting Bridget, Liam graduated to second and first degree felonies, including hijacking, armed robbery, and murder, and steadily rose through the ranks to become one of the country’s most notorious and dominant kingpins, expanding into legitimate businesses including several prominent clubs and casinos.
Emmy's parents never married.EARLY LIFE.
Mentally and financially unprepared for a child, Bridget remained with her mother and father, who helped raise their grandchild on a modest income. Emmy spent much of her childhood in rural poverty and although her love of the outdoors and "rough-and-tumble" play was common among children her age, the greater portion of her time was lent to hunting and fishing alongside the men, her uncles and cousins; in fact, she was at all times with the men when there was excitement and adventure to be had.In her few precious hours of solitude, Emmy set off daily to explore. She climbed trees, hunted rats with a rifle, and splashed around in creeks. She picked wildflowers, berries, and mushrooms and kept snakes, lizards, katydids and frogs in a growing collection gathered on her outings.
ADOLESCENCE.
Emmy followed in her grandfather's footsteps and developed a passion for mechanics early on, constructing cars and attending motor shows with him. Her first car, a '64 Pontiac GTO, was also the first car she customized. she was 16 then and began working on friends' cars to hone her craft.
and ADULTHOOD.For several years, that’s all Emmy did, often keeping her family up late into the night as she banged, welded, and cut in the driveway. She understood that education had a price and sometimes that cost was just logging in the hours and practice. By the time she hit her senior year in high school, she was already on her third car, a '77 Bandit Trans Am.
Emmy has held several jobs to feed her habit. She was a yard driver, procurement technician and a salvage auction coordinator all before her 21st Birthday.
Eventually, she left those jobs for the open road. -
MAIN VERSE
NAME OF VERSE. Left with little to no other means of supporting herself after leaving home, Emmy has turned herself into a one-woman chop shop―stripping and moving piecemeal through the black market or shipping whole-body out of the country.
What began as an off beat way to make ends meet is now a flourishing enterprise defined by notorious backroom politics and vicious power struggles, yet many are still in the dark as to how she keeps herself afloat.
