Ema

Canon Linked from 3 articles

Ema was a Corellian humanoid female who hailed from the Core Worlds planet Corellia. When her parents died around 15 BBY, she was recruited into the White Worms criminal organization in Coronet City as a scrumrat. Two years later, Ema was promoted to the position of Head by the White Worms' leader, Lady Proxima, and began enjoying her newfound power. The girl especially despised her predecessor as Head—the scrumrat Qi'ra—and went out of her way to make the latter's life miserable.

In the following weeks, Ema took great joy in slowly starving Qi'ra by controlling her food allotments and wearing the former Head's fur jacket around her as a prize. Over time, she begrudgingly increased Qi'ra's food rations when the other girl proved herself a successful thief. The new Head began assigning herself the easiest duties while also taking the time to learn to navigate the tunnels surrounding the White Worms' den. While reporting on the day's pickpocketing haul to Proxima, Ema did not mention Qi'ra's contributions unless forced to by the crime boss, always angered when she was required to expound further.

Not long after, Ema helped prepare to stage a raid on a Corellia shipyard, hoping to steal control boards and Imperial credits from the facility at Proxima's direction. When Qi'ra came to Proxima's den to report to the leader, Ema attempted to deny her entry. However, the scrumrat punched the Head and moved past her, leading the girl to resent her predecessor more fervently. Ema participated in the shipyard raid, escaping when the endeavor went awry and was unsuccessful. Upon her return, she plotted to kill Qi'ra with her bare hands and assaulted the other girl in the White Worms' den. Qi'ra fled and led Ema to the room containing the cages of the organization's Corellian hounds, setting them loose on the Head and letting the beasts kill her.
