Bio of Emily

Emily doesn't describe her past very much, except for her mother. Previous to the story, Emily's mother became ill and later died. She was alone with her father in her apartment for about a year before meeting Pegasus.

As the story progresses, and she begins traveling through New York with her newly found friends, Joel and Pegasus, as well as her father Emily begins to share fond memories of her mother as they pass places she recalls visiting with her. This leads me to believe that Emily and her mother had a close bond.

It's also confirmed that Emily's father, Steve, is a police officer. Emily attends a public school with Joel, and usually comes home to find herself alone. Her father seems to be working often. After a huge thunderstorm wiped out the power in Manhattan, her father became busier than ever. Hence why Pegasus landed on her apartment's roof without her father noticing for a few days.

It's shown that she and Joel have limited interaction between each other before the events in the novel occur. Despite this, Emily seems to know where he lives as she walks to his house to seek help for Pegasus. While Emily has limited knowledge of mythology, Joel, who moved from Italy, has vast knowledge and helps her through her journey.
