Emma Collins was born and raised in the town of Ravenwood, the youngest child of Robert and Linda Collins, both deceased in a car accident in 2018. Emma has an older brother, Daniel Collins, with whom she had a close relationship until recently, when tensions arose due to the division of the family inheritance.

After completing high school at Ravenwood High School in 2018, Emma moved to New York, where she studied Investigative Journalism at Columbia University, graduating with honors in 2022.

Graduated in investigative journalism, Emma quickly established a reputation as a determined and persistent professional, regularly contributing to local newspapers and online investigative magazines. She recently returned to Ravenwood, where she was investigating multiple local complaints and mysteries involving corruption, past crimes, and possible occult activities.

Emma had no significant medical history, with the exception of a brief treatment period for mild anxiety in 2020, during her university years. There are no continuous prescriptions or chronic medical problems.

Emma had an extensive network of acquaintances in the town due to the investigative nature of her profession, in addition to emotional ties with old school colleagues and neighbors. Particularly noteworthy was her close friendship with Sarah Mitchell, a friendship dating back to childhood, although it had recently gone through tensions. Recent personal relationships were sporadic due to her intense dedication to her profession.

Initial records indicate that Emma had a strong interest in the town's history, including the incident at the local old orphanage, closed in 1997. Her personal belongings suggest that she was deeply involved in several simultaneous investigations that could have caused her significant personal or professional problems.
