Emma Verkade

She's friendly enough, although she comes across as vapid and a bit silly. Catch her off guard though, and you might see a steely gleam in her eye that would remind you that the Dutch are infamous for their cunning and ambition...
It's hard to tell her age. On good days she looks no more than twenty, but there's a cynical air to her at times that ages her.
Emma is employed in the De Meester household, as the maid of Clara de Meester. Frans de Meester is a diplomat, so the family is sent to England to try and ease the tense relationship between the countries.
