Ema Dravenezh

Mer Ema Dravenezh is the secretary of the Marquess Parzhadel.

Appearance
When Thara Celehar first saw Ema, Ema was "soberly dressed" and a bit out of place while attending the Vermilion Opera.

When Thara later met Ema in person, Ema was clearly young, "with pale elven coloring except for the red-orange fire of his eyes. He was dressed in a sober-colored frogged coat, black trousers, and black, laced boots, and wore his hair with two plain tortoiseshell combs."

Personality
Ema was possibly interested in opera, judging by his pretty regular attendance, assuming it wasn't under orders. Iäna Pel-Thenhior noted Ema was one of the more attentive audience members. Ema was polite to Thara, but nervous as well, seemingly about the idea that anyone from the Parzhadel estate could have killed Arveneän Shelsin.

Life
Ema worked for Parzhadel and handled his appointments for at least two years prior to The Witness for the Dead. He also attended the Vermilion Opera in Parzhadel's place most nights, in the Parzhadeise box. Arveneän made an appointment with Parzhadel two years prior to the events of The Witness for the Dead, where she attempted to get one of the other Vermilion Opera singers dismissed, and Ema disapproved of her. She made another appointment to speak to Parzhadel by sending a note, but never arrived because she was murdered beforehand.

Thara later went to question Parzhadel, and met with Ema first. Ema was shocked that Arveneän was dead, and defensive over the Parzhadel household. He gave Thara the note Arveneän sent requesting the appointment. Ema also told Thara about Arveneän's appointment two years prior. When Thara requested to see Parzhadel, Ema put him off, as Parzhadel was busy.

Sometime later, Ema missed a number of Vermilion Opera performances for some reason, but eventually reappeared.

Arveneän Shelsin
Ema thought Arveneän was overdressed and "bourgeois-vulgar." He also noted she had a terrible temper and was vengeful.

Marquess Parzhadel
Ema seemed very protective of the Marquess.

Iäna Pel-Thenhior
Iäna was curious if Ema was sent to attend the Vermilion Opera in the Marquess' place or if Ema attended of his own volition, but never asked out of politeness. Iäna was worried Ema had been fired after missing so many performances, and was relieved when Ema returned.
