Emery Goldhurst

Emery "Em" Goldhurst is a senior student of Woodrow Amity High School, and one of the main characters of the comic, R1SK (15 Series).

As tall as the trees of Betterment Forest, and as welcoming as the lake within it, Emery and his family are towering giants of Woodrow Amity. A label of which this golly gee of a family has grown proud of.

Appearance
Emery's most distinguishable feature is his height. Being an absolute unit, he towers many people in Woodrow Amity High, with Fergus being the only contender for his stature.

With that height of his, he's greatly noticeable among a the sea of students and even adults. Other notable features of Emery are his gentle, pale yellow eyes framed with simple black prescription lenses; his dirty blond hair is a tousled mess and is always seen with a soft, cheeky smile.

His tawny complexion and shiny glasses often it makes hard to see his faded yellow eyes. Though they're apparently described as being piercing.

Outfits
In the original run, Emery was one of the very few characters to have worn a short sleeved dress shirt rather than a hoodie.

In his current version, Emery style is more refined but simple. Similar in palette to Fergus, the giant of a teen has a mix of fall and earthy tones, with a focus of brown. A simple, dark jacket with a pair of baggy, dark blue jeans. And out of everyone in the group circle, minus Chesna, Emery tends to wear more darker tones of colors with the occasional bright tone.

He does; however, have two different colored shoe ties that matches his overall color scheme.

Personality
Being described to having a welcoming and warm personality, Emery exudes an air of a non-judgmental attitude with a comforting feeling when joining his presence. While his kindness and soft nature often reassures people he meets, underneath it all is a harsh protective bomb.

Unlike Chesna with her easily explosive temperament, Emery tends to keep whatever negative emotion he is hit by, inside a figurative bottle. Though his rage is rare and hard to expose, his watchful aura is very attached to his small group of friends and he'd rather make sure they're safe and far from harm.

Regardless of his hidden switch, Emery is a reserved person with high perceptive and well-developed people skills, and in comparison to Gen and Irene, has a more receptive sociability making him a rather formidable and treasured confidant.

Childhood
Emery was born to a loving family.

His father being a well-known boat captain to a group of skilled fishermen, and the chief of police of a mother gave Emery the childhood of a heavily protective and responsible household. With his family's status of being well-known, respected, and a large influence in a number of aspects of the town, he reveled in the idea of being looked up to in the future. Not in just a physical sense but in a figurative way as well.

Though the rules of his home was fairly harsh, and his upbringing was more of various life education, he knew that each lesson was out of the love of both his mother and father. And due to their positions of their work, he was often brought along to their jobs and was quite a frequent individual in the inner parties of Woodrow Amity.
