A thorough Description:
History/Background: Emma Frost was born into a wealthy old Boston mercantile family that arrived from England in the 1600s. The second of three daughters, Emma also had an older brother named Christian 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 puberty.
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. While the older sister Adrienne seemed the most obvious choice, their father chose Emma. Surprisingly, she refused, choosing to make her own way through life.
Emma ultimately inherited a good deal of wealth, but most of her large fortune resulted from her professional success. She ascended rapidly to the upper echelon of the business world on the strength of her intelligence, drive, and personal charm, as well as the secret use of her mental powers.
Eventually, Emma became majority stockholder of a multibillion dollar conglomerate principally involved in electronics and transportation -- both the building of ships and aircraft, and their use for freight and passenger conveyance. Despite her relative youth, she was named chairwoman of the board and chief executive officer of the rechristened Frost International. She also became headmistress and chairwoman of the board of trustees of the Massachusetts Academy, a college preparatory school for students in grades seven through twelve located in the Berkshire Mountains in Snow Valley, Massachusetts.
Emma's success caught the attention of the Hellfire Club, an elite social organization consisting of the world's wealthiest and most powerful figures. When she learned that the club was hiring dancers, she promptly auditioned and used her telepathic talents to enhance her performance in their eyes. Unlike the other females in the Club, Emma was never uncomfortable with the strict dress code that required female members to wear lingerie at all times. She believed her revealing wardrobe to be one of the many weapons in her arsenal, one that gave her an instant advantage over men.
Frost quickly became an ally of Sebastian Shaw, a member of the club's Council of the Chosen who were secretly conspiring to achieve world domination through economic and political means. At the time, the leaders of the club and council -- its foremost Lords Cardinal, whose titles corresponded to the names of chess pieces -- were White King Edward Buckman and White Queen Paris Seville.
Buckman threw the council's support behind Project Armageddon, scientist Steven Lang's program to construct mutant-hunting Sentinel robots. Aware of Shaw's genetic disposition, Buckman told him the initiative's intent was to capture mutants as a means of helping the council attain power. Using her psionic powers, Emma learned that the project's actual purpose was the annihilation of all genetic deviants. After Shaw's lover, Lourdes Chantel, was murdered by one of the Sentinels, Shaw and Frost staged a coup that saw them seize 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's leadership, mutants dominated the Inner Circle. To strengthen the Club's power base, Emma recruited genetically gifted youngsters and helped them hone their abilities at her school. Most of these students were members of the Hellions, Emma's first mutant super-team. She initially encountered the outlaw band of heroic mutant adventurers known as the X-Men when she unsuccessfully attempted to recruit young Kitty Pryde, the phase-shifting mutant known as Shadowcat. Subsequently, Emma crossed paths with the X-Men -- and their proteges, the New Mutants -- on a number of occasions, often as their adversary. Later, the X-Men joined with the Hellions to protect the White Queen from the time-travelling terrorist named Trevor Fitzroy. However, the madman's brutal assault plunged Emma into a deep coma and brought about the Hellions' untimely demise.
While Emma's consciousness was still active on the material plane, her body was kept in the med-lab at the X-Men's mansion. Seeking to ensure her students' welfare and the school's future, Emma had willed responsibility for the Massachusetts Academy to Professor Charles Xavier, the X-Men's telepathic founder. During her psychic incapacitation, the school was added to the rapidly expanding Xavier Institute. While Emma's corporeal form was in stasis, a short-circuit in the mansion inadvertently caused her psyche to possess the X-Man named Iceman, while his mind was transferred into her body.
Coerced by Professor X, Emma eventually reclaimed her own form. After making a full recovery, she resumed her role as headmistress of the academy. Ably assisted by Sean Cassidy, the sonically empowered former X-Man known as Banshee, she set out to train a new crop of young mutants: Generation X. When the sinking stock market dealt Frost International a major blow, Emma swallowed her pride and sought the help of her older sister, Adrienne, who agreed to support her sister's flagging financial interests only if she were named co-headmistress. But Adrienne's power play did not wind down when Emma acceded to her request, nor did it end when she supplanted her sister as the Hellfire Club's White Queen. Only after Adrienne telepathically incited a riot at the school did Emma find a way to upset her ascension: the way of the gun. Emma shot and killed her sister, thereby laying claim to Adrienne's inheritance
Following the dissolution of Generation X and the closure of the Massachusetts Academy, Emma moved to the island nation of Genosha where she began teaching mutant children again. Soon after, a Sentinel attack wiped out Genosha's entire mutant population. The X-Men found Emma alive in the rubble, having undergone a secondary mutagenic change that allowed her to survive the onslaught. Emma came to teach at the Xavier Institute, and soon took on the responsibility of personally mentoring the telepathic quintuplets known as the Stepford Cuckoos.
Sample Post:
Emma sighed as she opened the window and let the cool breeze blow her hait away from her face. It was a beautiful day today and she looked up at the bright blue sky.
She turned back to her boyfriend, Scott. "Hey...wanna head over to the beach, dear?" she asked him with a glossy smile. Scott was wearing nothing but his boxers as he made the bed. "Sounds like a plan, honey.." he told her, flashing her his own respoinsible smile before turning his attention back to the bed.
Emma sighed and walked over to him. She lifted his chin. "Hey...is something wrong, dear?" she asked. Scott's eyes could not be seen under his dark red glasses, but he averted his eyes from her face as he groaned. He sat on the now-made bed. "Look...I just....lately, I've been thinking alot about Jean and... and our good times and out bad times..."
Emma stepped away. "Are you...is everything okay..?" she asked, trying to hide the surprise in her voice. "Yeah...I just..Emma, I think I need some time... off..." he said. Emma felt like she'd been slapped. She swallowed hard, held back the tears and left the room.
As soon as she left the room, the tears started to roll down her face and she sat down in the hall, her chin on her knees, sobbing.
