Emily Freeman

Personal Background:
Emily Freeman is a woman living in the Wastelands in 2019. Her age is unknown, but she is married to Luke Roberts and is bearing his child. Before the apocalypse, Emily was a sociopolitical scientist graduate, and maintained a highly pessimistic view of the human race. Emily was staying with Luke when the bombs fell, and the two barely survived, with Luke only carrying a watch in memory of his family. Emily didn't see the need for such emotional material, and left their memory in the ashes. Unlike Luke, Emily had less difficulty adjusting to the harsh wastelands, having predicted that humanity would collapse sooner or later and was emotionally braced for the cataclysm. Capable and often times determined to a fault, Emily's life in the wastes would be changed forever when meeting Jack in the Wildlands.

Episode One:
After Luke dies at the hands of a raider gang in the Wildlands, Emily bargains with her saviour, Jack, to have him escort her to a Neutral Zone settlement. When Jack asks why he would do that, Emily states she owes someone there a favour: this someone is Austin Leurs, who has already died at the hands of Shaun Maher. When Emily and Jack are confronted by Shaun in the Wild Lands, Shaun manages to get a shot at her before the three are ambushed by scouts who work for a pacifistic colony.



Episode Three: (Warning: Episode Spoilers Ahead)
The trio is taken into custody, where Emily's wounds are tended to. After witnessing the Shaun's death at the reluctant hands of Amelia, Jack pays Emily a visit in the medical ward, where she claims that the baby is alive. Once the settlement falls under attack by raiders Emily witnesses Jack sealing off the corridor he is in, trapping himself with the raiders and giving Emily and Amelia a chance to escape the firefight. Emily escapes, births her child, and names her Jackie in memory of Jack's sacrifice.

Episode Four:
Emily is ultimately killed in Arcange city, where Jackie is forced to pull a gun on her own mother when she's infected with the radiation plague.
