:: PERSONALITY ::
Emma Frost is a very stubborn and manipulative woman. Once her mind is set on doing something, she makes sure it is done. When it comes to getting her way, Emma really doesn't care what she does, whether it's as simple as forging a signature or a drastic as wiping someone's memory clean. She is an expert in manipulating people to do what she wants and she feels no guilt in doing so.
Emma is an extremely strategic person and thoroughly thinks about anything that she does. She is very careful about everything she says and does and considers all effects of her actions. She is known for never being beaten in chess because of her strategy also! Emma is very sly and clever and a great actress.
One of Emma's flaws is the fact that she can be very selfish. She puts her needs first and doesn't really care about anyone else. She is focused on getting her way and doing what she wants to. Emma is also an extremely confident woman and is full to the brim with self esteem. In her eyes, she is about as perfect someone can get. She prides herself on her undeniably good looks, brilliant wit, and powerful abilities. Emma definitely thinks higher of herself than others.
She loathes Jean Grey, perhaps due to the clear fondness that Scott Summer’s has for the redhead. Emma’s feelings for Scott are unknown, most think she’s using him but to others it seems that he has cracked her cool and balanced demeanor and that she may have genuine feelings for him.

:: MUTATION ::
- :: POWER 1 ::
Emma possesses telepathic abilities with potential to rival telepaths with as much skill as Charles Xavier had. She is able to broadcast and receive thoughts, control minds, alter perception and memory, project psionic energy blasts which cause mental pain or unconsciousness, use astral projection, switch her mind with someone else's, modify brain engrams, mentally sedate unconscious victims, induce mental pain by a touch to the victim's brow, and use limited psychometry. She also has the unique ability to perform "psychic surgery" or utilizing pin pointed psionic energy to exert absolute control over individual brain functions such that the physical form can be manipulated.- :: POWER 2 ::
Emma also possesses the ability to turn her entire body into a flexible, organic diamond substance for an undetermined amount of time. In this form Emma must transform all parts of her body and if he is rendered unconscious, her body immediately comes out of her her diamond form. The diamond transformation also alters Emma's personality so that she becomes unusually cold hearted. In her diamond form, Emma cannot access her telepathy and her mind is also immune to psychic attacks.
She is still learning to control some of her telepathic abilities.

:: History ::
Emma Grace Frost was a leading member of an old Boston mercantile family, which arrived from England in the 1600s. The second of three daughters, Emma also had an older brother, named Christian Frost, who had turned to substance abuse as an escape from the drudgery of his life. Unknown to their family or themselves, the three Frost sisters were mutants, whose telepathic abilities matured upon reaching their puberty. Deemed unfit in her father's eyes, Emma produced low grade point averages and was a social outcast while attending the Snow Valley School for Girls. Emma also suffered from intensely painful migraines and, while attending class, began to hear other people's thoughts and collapsed. After the emergence of her powers, Emma used them to excel in all aspects of her life. Due to a crush that Emma had over a teacher of hers, Ian Kendall, Emma decided a future in teaching, much to her father's disapproval, but, after being seen kissing Mr. Kendall in front of the Frost estate, Emma's father blackmailed her to give up her idea of teaching. After her brother's gay lifestyle was revealed to the family, Winston Frost began to alienate Christian, resulting in his drug abuse and attempted suicide. When it came time for their father to choose a worthy heir to the family fortune, Christian was automatically dismissed due to his drug problem and because he was gay. While the older sister, Adrienne Frost, seemed the most obvious choice, their father chose Emma. At that moment, Christian was picked up by a mental institution, and, surprisingly, Emma refused to be her father's heir, choosing to make her own way through life instead.
Emma began to work minimum wage jobs and stayed at a hotel. After attempting to use her telepathy to pay for the meal with a newspaper instead of money, Emma was eventually caught and made to wash dishes, where she met Troy Killkelly, who she was attracted to and moved in with. Unfortunately, Troy owed money and Emma used her telepathy at a Casino to erase their financial problems, but the loan shark insisted that they owed more, for interest. Troy suggested that they pretend to kidnap Emma and have Winston pay a ransom, but Winston refused, stating that his daughter was already dead to him. After Troy was killed, Emma absorbed all of the shark's memories of business. After her sister Adrienne took Emma's kidnapping video to the news, Winston was forced to pay the ransom. However, Emma freed herself using her abilities, took the money and moved to New York.
Later, Emma found herself in a mental institution, the Essex Clinic, where she was drugged and kidnapped by the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Magneto took her to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, to use Cerebro and kill all humans, while bringing together all mutants. Beast created a device that shut-off access to cosmic rays of the Evolutionaries and accidentally killed two of them. When Cyclops vowed to protect mutantkind, the remaining Evolutionary reluctantly left, but not before erasing the memory of their presence from the minds of the X-Men and Brotherhood and vowing to return one day. After the Evolutionaries returned Emma to the clinic, her head was clear and the drugs were out of her system.
Emma dyed her hair blonde and enrolled into Empire State University, where she was reunited with Mr. Kendall. While attending class, Emma met her first fellow telepath, Astrid Bloom, and Astrid began to train Emma in the use of her abilities. After learning that Mr. Kendall was dating her roommate, Christine McDermott, Emma confessed her love for him and he pursued a relationship with Emma. Christine threatened to expose Mr. Kendall's relationship with students if he did not leave Emma, but Astrid influenced him to choke her. Upon learning the truth, Emma mentally defeated Astrid, absorbing her knowledge of telepathy, and saved Mr. Kendall's job, revealing her mutation to him. Unexpectedly, Mr. Kendall left Emma in disgust. These events led Emma to view humans beneath mutants and she began believing that there was no reason to use restraint in her powers. Emma inherited a good deal of wealth, but most of her large fortune was the result of her business successes. Emma rose rapidly through the world of business, thanks to her intelligence, drive, personal charm, and her secret use of her psionic abilities. Also, at some point, the Dark Beast met Emma and helped her rise to wealth and power
Frost International
Emma eventually became the majority stockholder of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, which was been renamed Frost International after herself. Despite her youth, Emma became a chairperson of the board of Frost International and its chief executive officer. Frost International was principally involved in transportation (both the building of ships and aircraft and their use for freight and passenger transport) and electronics. Emma also became chairperson of the board of trustees of the Massachusetts Academy, a college preparatory school for grades seven through twelve located in the Berkshire Mountains in Snow Valley, Massachusetts. Frost served as the academy's headmistress and spent a great deal of her time there.
Emma's beauty and talents brought her an invitation to join the Hellfire Club, an elite social organization of the world's wealthy and powerful figures, as a stripper. As a dancer/stripper at the Hellfire Club, Frost was approached by Professor Charles Xavier and Dr. Moira MacTaggart to join a new team of X-Men. When Emma refused, Professor X erased her memory of the encounter, against Kid Vulcan's judgment that Professor Xavier should have forcibly changed her mind. Frost became the ally of Sebastian Shaw, who was a member of the Club's Council of the Chosen, a group which secretly conspired to achieve world domination through economic and political means. Like Frost, Shaw was a mutant. The Leaders of the Club and Council, its foremost Lords Cardinal, were the White King, Edward Buckman, and the White Queen, Paris Seville. The Lords Cardinal were given titles corresponding to the names of chess pieces. Buckman threw the Council's support behind Project Armageddon, which was scientist Steven Lang's program to build Sentinel robots and have them hunt down superhuman mutants. Knowing Shaw was, himself, a mutant, Buckman told him that the Project was intended to capture superhuman mutants for use by the council in seeking power. However, Frost, through her psionic powers, learned that the Project was actually intended as a means of destroying all superhuman mutants. After Shaw chose Emma over two other women, and brutally murdered them in front of her, their union was official. Together, Shaw and Frost staged a coup that gave them control of the Council of the Chosen, which they renamed the Inner Circle. Shaw took the title of Black King and Frost became the new White Queen.
Under Shaw and Frost, the Inner Circle was dominated by superhuman mutants. Frost recruited young superhuman mutants and trained them in the use of their powers at her school, so that they might use those powers on the Inner Circle's behalf. Most of these mutant students were members of a team called the Hellions.
"Scream for me."

Emma tossed and turned in bed, her silken sheets sticking to the beaded sweat her body had been rapidly producing. Her nightmares prevented her from any peaceful sleep and the sticky summer weather didn't help either. She jolted awake in bed, gasping for the breath she had been subconsciously holding. Her nightmare was vividly replaying itself in her mind like a video.
Emma was walking toward her childhood home, the sun concealed by storm clouds and an eerie silence covering the estate. A faint, but strange sound made its way to her ears. It sounded like raging wind mixed with crashing waves. The blood roared in Emma's head as she turned around to find a storm of flames.
The red hot ribbons licked at the diamond she had just transformed to and Emma screamed in terror. The full force of the fire hit her in one earth-quaking blast, shattering her diamond form into millions of shards. The remaining wind and fire scattered the crystal across the yard of the house young Emma had once grown to hate.
This nightmare had been haunting Emma for months now, leaving her unsteady and a bit shaken. It didn't surprise her one bit that it had entered her sleep once again. Emma took a deep breath and slowly peeled the sheets off of her quivering figure. She slipped out of her bed and quickly gripped her dresser for balance. Emma slowly headed toward her bedroom door, needing a glass of water. However, before Emma could reach her door, it swung open. Emma fell backwards with shock and landed roughly on her bottom.
Her icy glare fell upon the intruder that had entered her privacy, but her gaze softened as she realized it was only Scott. He extended his hand to help her up and she eagerly took it. "Emma, are you all right? We heard screaming!", he asked worriedly. Emma quickly decided to use this opportunity to her advantage. "Oh, Scott! Thank goodness it's you! I had the most terrible nightmare!", she exaggerated. Scott gingerly pulled Emma in a bit closer to comfort her. This was going just as she wanted.
Emma opened her mouth to speak again when Jean rushed in to find Scott. Emma flashed Jean a gaze that would kill if it could. That b**** ruined every chance that Emma had with Scott. One of these days, Emma would make sure Jean would regret it.
"Welcome to Mutant High."
