Emilia Gaines

Main Plot Role[]

Emilia is a dragon rider, and is one of the original Order of the Phoenix members, and was one of the six who resurrected the group from its ashes.

Additionally Emilia was one of the first individuals in the wizarding community to find definitive proof that the magical creatures of the world were evolving in new and unexpected ways. First, her and Sean Truxell confirmed the existence of a Chameleon Dragon, whose scales allow it to be all but invisible as it changes colours to blend perfectly into its background. Second, Emilia noticed that the behavior of the spiders at the acromantula attack of Hogwarts was indeed wrong, implying that they were indeed evolving.

Emilia's dragon is a Kenmare Chameleon, a new breed that can change its coloring to match its surroundings, and ironically the very dragon whose existence she helped in proving. Emilia is just beginning her bond with the baby dragon, given that it is a new hatchling, and her dragon's name is Lerulac. The dragon's egg was found along with Mackenzie Hartell's dragon egg on a case. The 'finding' of these two eggs was kept secret from the Ministry of Magic.

Emilia Clarke eventually went on to become the co-Leader of the Order of the Phoenix alongside Riley Anderson, after the death of the previous co-Leader.

Major Event Participation[]

  • Accromantula Attack on Hogwarts
  • Cwm Y Dewin Cud ~ Burn it to the Ground ~ The Order of the Dragon's attack on the all wizarding village that the Minstry was opening, at its grand opening.
  • Halloween Night on the Ship of Ghosts, when spirits of those who had been killed in creature wars of the past attempted to warn the key players in the upcoming war by visiting and possessing them, so that they would be prepared for what was to come. Those adults who were lured onto the ghost ship in this manner lived how those spirits died, were forced to see those they could not live without dead, and were forced to admit things they would otherwise never admit.
  • Dragon Attack on Hogwarts ~ Hogwarts was destroyed, as a point by the darker creatures of the world that they can and will destroy wizarding kind if they stand in their way.
  • The Grady manor altercation ~ The Order of the Phoenix ambushes the Order of the Dragon, as the latter attempted to gather dark items that had been left behind at a manor once belonging to a famed dark wizarding family.

Ellie is older than Emilia by ten years and was already in Hogwarts by the time Emilia was a year old. She and Emilia were not very close because of this age difference, but when their father died and Ellie was left with no other option but to take care of her sister they developed a bond and Emilia eventually moved to Romania with her to help out with her work as a Dragon trainer, though Emilia was never interested in working solely with dragons.

Her best childhood friend from that school was a girl named Amy Lynch. Emilia, however, lost touch with her around her fourth year of Hogwarts. Relationship with Family Members: Emilia was very close with her parents before they died. Before then, she and her sister barely knew each other at all, but now they've formed a bond and Emilia is very close and protective of her sister, brother-in-law and nephew. For her aunt and uncle, and their sons, Emilia doesn't speak to them due to a family fued that was occuring since before she was born. Best Memory of Family: Visitng Romania for the first time when she was seven with her mother and father. She had never been out of London and to see even a glimpse of the dragon colony where her sister Ellie worked was something amazing to her. Worst Memory of Family: Her worst memory of family was discovering just how badly the relationship between her family and her aunt's family was when they wouldn't take care of her after her dad died. Family Quirks or Secrets: For Emilia's immediate family, a secret would be that her dad was actually part of a very wealthy family growing up, yet decided not to keep all of that when he got married, something that angered his family. Important Experiences/Injuries: For injuries, Emilia slid down the stairs in her house when she was eight and broke her ankle, which taught her to look where she was going. Places Visited as a Child: Emilia didn't really leave England much as a child, as her father was so dedicated to his job as a Healer he barely took any time off. However, her family would go to Romania to visit her older sister when she moved there after graduating Hogwarts. Enemies: Emilia didn't really have enemies. She had people she didn't like, but not enough to call them enemies. Hometown Atmosphere: Emilia lived on the outskirts of London, so it was rather quiet, though she enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. Childhood Room Appearance: Emilia’s room was painted a light purple with wooden floors that usually had something unnecessary strewn across it, as she couldn't be bothered to clean up her mess until her mother made her. The only things that were kept in order in her room were her books and music collection, as those were her favorite things.

Memorable Quotes[]

"I'm stubborn when it comes to not being able to do my job.” – from Spiders Didn’t Eat You

Emilia shrugged, though her hand moved covertly towards her pocket where her wand was. Sliding it out of her pocket and aiming it towards Sean, she said, "I dunno, I'll think of something." And she already had as she hexed the man's hair to grow red and curly, resembling her own. Men really shouldn't even consider bidding on another woman when they were on a date with someone else. ~ from Auction of the Delectable Singles

Friends & Relationships[]

The people Emilia would consider her friends are Sean Truxell, Mackenzie Hartell, Dominic Clarke and Trever Raines. Her friendship with Emilia and Mackenzie became friendly because they’re both the division heads of the Beast/Being Division and spend a really long amount of time chasing animals together. Emilia became friends with Trever after helping him put together a kite in a Hyde Park. Emilia’s friendship with Sean is basically an odd one after they both had to locate and identify a Chameleon Dragon. Emilia met Dominic at the Three Broomsticks and a few more times afterwards. Now, because of the Ministry’s arranged marriages, she is now married to him.
