Fanon:Emma Curious

Emma Curious (previously Darga) is the daughter of Drew Curious and Aiyana Curious and the younger twin sister of Ana. She has an older half-sibling named True that died at birth whom she never met.

Later in life she married and divorced Léon Darga and adopted her nephew Kevin.

Babyhood
Emma does not remember much of her time as a baby, but was later told that it was a hard time for her parents Drew and Aiyana. Her father was still dealing the loss of his first daughter True, while also ending his relationship with True's mother Genesis. Emma was always referred to as the "unplanned one", which was always followed up with the obligatory "but not less loved of course". The twins were at their best when they could cuddle and nap together, at least according to their parents.

Toddlerhood
From her memories of her toddler years she doesn't remember a lot about her father except for that Ana would never shut up about him (for as far she could really talk). She was taught her toddler skills by her mother and most if not all nights put to bed by Aiyana too. It sometimes felt like he was purposely avoiding her. She did like to play with her sister and always liked that her mother was nearby, even though she would rarely pay attention when she was showing off some new thing she learned.

Childhood
As Emma started school, it seems like her parents got more interested in their jobs than them and would often forget to make them lunch or prepare their clothes. She noticed how frustrating this was for Ana, but frankly she wasn't very surprised by this behavior. She often tried to do things herself but was too stubborn to admit that she did need some help. Although she would never admit it, she was thankful when Genesis stepped in and offered to cook them dinner and eventually was their clothes, or help them with homework. Emma didn't like school and had a hard time making friends as she didn't really like anyone. When Genesis suggested the girls should go to SimCity Academy, just like her father, she didn't want to at first. However Genesis convinced her that it would help with her schoolwork and there would be a lot more girls like her there to befriend. Emma found that hard to believe, but eventually agreed.

Teenhood
Moving on to high school Emma meets Harper Curious. They start to chat as they realize they have the same last name, but both don't care enough to figure out if they are related or not. Still they become friends and enjoy each other's company as both of them rather just be left alone or don't want to deal with dumb Sims. She also meets handsome boy Blair Mace, who is in her sisters class. As one night Ana confides to her that she wants to ask Blair out, Emma tells her not to do it. The next day she walks up to Blair and asks him out. When he shyly admits that he was actually planning on asking Ana out, she tells him that she told her that she's not interested, so that she should date Emma instead. He hestitates but then agrees and the two start dating.

Whenever Blair comes over, she catches him staring at her as well as her staring at him. Not wanting to deal with this she stops taking him home and often complains that he's not giving her enough attention. When graduation comes closer and she starts talking about their future, Blair sits her down and tells her he wants to break up. Emma is livid and slaps Blair in the face, after which she storms off. As she gets home she is screaming and cursing all night in her room. She refuses to go to her high school graduation and never wants to see anyone from high school ever again.

Adulthood
After graduation her parents have enough of her moping around the house and force her to get a job. Not sure what to do she starts a career as slacker and enjoys her slow and chill days at work. On one of her shifts she meets Léon Darga, a unusual Sims, even for the Curious family. He tells her how he often feels like an outcast and Emma feels like she can relate to that.

She is extremely surprised when Ana shows up with her ex Blair and at first thinks he might be there to patch things up with her. When the two admit to have been dating for months, Emma loses it and is ready to attack Blair for this sick joke and fantasy of dating twins. However Ana drags Blair away from Emma before she has the time to punch him. Disappointed in her sister and distraught she calls up Léon, hoping he would want to meet up. He agrees and the two do so. As soon as the two see each other Emma kisses Léon and although he is surprised, he doesn't object. The two start dating after that.

As the family gathers all together, and Emma gets to show off her new boyfriend, all finally seems to be going well for her once. Her parents seem to actually pay attention to her and interested in Léon, while her sister is not getting all the attention she normally gets. The night seems to be coming to a beautiful end when dessert arrives, and Ana finds a big ring in her cake and Blair on one knee. As the other family members congratulate the couple and confess they had known this would happen, Emma feels a sudden anger rising up in her as this should have been HER fiancée and not Ana's. She storms off and doesn't return to the party.

Emma decides to distance herself and focus on her career as well her relationship with Léon. Even though he is not perfect, she really thinks the two could have a good future together and start a beautiful family soon. She finds it hard to go to Ana and Blair's wedding, but knows that her anger will make things even more difficult. She makes sure to drink just enough fizzy juice to make it through the day and leaves before she can do anything silly.

Emma feels like she is really making progress with her anger control and thinks that perhaps she can start rebuilding a normal relationship with Ana, and who knows even with Blair. However, when Ana confides in her that she is expecting, that old familiar anger starts bubbling up inside her again. Ana says that she will tell their parents over dinner soon, so that Emma mustn't ruin the surprise. Thinking Emma can have her big revenge now, she tells Léon that she wants to get married and that he must buy her a ring now. At first he is a little hesitant and wants to ask her father first, but she convinces him to skip that as it is just a silly tradition. When dinner arrives, she can't hold her excitement any longer and blurs out that Léon and herself are engaged. It is quiet a bit a first but then her father turns to Léon and asks him why he didn't ask him for his blessing. Not getting the response she wanted, Emma starts screaming at him how he is an idiot and he should just be happy for her. Suddenly Ana starts crying and tells the room she is pregnant. Although the room is visibly a lot more excited and happy for Ana, Emma is still happy as this for always will be the day that Emma had better news than Ana.

Her wedding with Léon is big and extravagant, just the way she likes it and a little better than Ana's was. Her sister gives birth to a boy which they name Kevin. This gets Emma started on wanting to have children for herself as well. Léon and herself try for months but nothing happens. It is only then that they find out that because of Léon's state he can't produce children. When her sister moves out and into a home for her family, Emma asks her if she can join them as they would like to move out too. At first Ana seems not too excited but Emma tries to convince her that it will be great to have more adults around to help with the baby. Ana agrees and Emma and Léon happily move into their house. As Emma sees Kevin grow older, she gets jealous of her sister and admits to her that she would love children but that they can't have them because of Léon. Ana meaning well, suggests adoption, which somehow really angers Emma as this would again be a thing her sister has that she doesn't. Around this time her parents die of old age, which left Emma with some inner peace as she knew they never liked her. Not long after that she heard that Genesis had passed too.

Even though Emma thought that being around Kevin would help her deal with her pain on not having her own children, it actually turned out to be the opposite for her. The older he gets the more she sees so much of herself in him. If Blair would have never broken up with her, Kevin WOULD have been her child. She starts to resent her sister more and more every time Kevin cries for his mother and runs to Ana, or when Blair, Ana and Kevin laugh while they read to him. Léon tries his best to distract her, inviting her to one of his shows. She appreciates his efforts but can't seem to let her anger towards her sister and Blair go, thinking that they must have done this all on purpose.

One night, just before Emma was leaving to see one of Léon's shows she hears Kevin cry. She's already halfway up the stairs when Ana cuts her off and walks into his bedroom. When Emma lets her know that she was here to help, Ana just brushes her off and says she got. Pissed off, as Emma feels her sister doesn't trust her she walks to her room where she turns on a sented candle. She does a few meditation breaths and then leaves. Still pissed off at the show she keeps repeating the events in her head turning more and more angry with herself. The next thing she remembers is staring into her sister's eyes from outside, while Ana is pressed against the front door window in a house full of flames and smoke. Emma hears Kevin cry and sees that she is firmly holding him in her arms. When she realizes what is going on, her sister's face is lost in the smoke. Emma immediately puts Kevin down and away from the fire and then calls the fire department. She notices one of the kitchen a chair blocking the door handle from outside and quickly removes it. She calls Léon and tells him that he should come home immediately which he does.

When Léon arrives the fire department is busy putting out the fire and just managed to open the front door. Here they find Ana and Blair, barely breathing but still alive. They are rushed to the hospital. When the police show up, they start to question Emma on what happened. At first she is not sure what to say and Léon jumps in, saying that Emma was at his show but told him she wasn't feeling so good and was coming home early. Although she doesn't remember Emma agrees and then tells the police that she found Kevin outside and that she's not sure how he made it out while his parents didn't.

Not long after Ana and Blair arriving at the hospital, they both died as they had too much smoke in their lungs and were almost burned alive. As there was no other close relatives and seeing they had already lived together, Kevin was put in the care of Emma and Léon. The cause of the fire was labeled an accident, as a candle had most likely started the fire. Léon arranged most of the funerals for Ana and Blair, as he though it would be way too much for Emma, while she spend her time with Kevin. She couldn't believe that she finally got what she always wanted, a child and her sister out of the way. She knew that she should be sad because her sister is gone, but she had honestly never felt happier.

A few months later Kevin was officially adopted by Emma and Léon and for a while Emma's life actually seemed to be like it always hsould have been. She earned several promotions at her job that she still liked, Kevin was amazing to be around with and even Léon seemed to be the man she though she would fall in love with. She spends most of her time with Kevin and teaches him his toddler skills, or rather finished what Ana had started. Every other time she has she keeps looking for the perfect clothes, schools, sports or friends for Kevin, who still seems to be too young to really understand. With Kevin growing older she puts him in private school, to keep up with the Curious traditions. Léon seems not too happy about it as she did not talk to him about it before applying, but she doesn't care too much about his opinion. Every time when Léon and Kevin are hanging out together, Emma finds a way to join them and spend some time with the two. Sometimes it is even so that she asks Léon to go do something else so Kevin can focus all his time on her.

When Kevin keeps asking about his father Léon, Emma suddenly realizes that he is less and less around the house. When she asks him about it, he simply replies that his work is just a lot busier than it used to be. Suspicious and jealous, Emma follows him and sees there that he often meets up with Servo Tammy Loner. Imagining the worst, her fury returns and when Léon comes home she confronts him with what she saw today. At first Léon denies that anything has been going on, but than confirms he has an affair and wants to divorce her. If that's not bad enough he also tells her that he will fight for full custody on Kevin as he deserve a better mother than Emma. She is frantic and throws Léon out, telling him to not come back and forget about Kevin as he will never have him. When Léon argues back Emma threatens him one more time before things get black.

The next day, Emma wakes up from a call from the police where she hears that Léon had died from electrocution. He was found with older Servo bot T.A.M.M.Y., who's motherboard had overheated resulting into the death of Léon and herself. Again her first response was the feeling of relief, followed by a realization that she had to go tell Kevin. He did not take it well and locked himself in his room for days. Not wanting to be associated with Léon anymore, Emma legally changed her and Kevin's name back to Curious.

Luckily time heals all wounds and it seemed like high school was a great time to blossom for Kevin and let go of his past. Emma often was worried about his future, as he had gone through a lot in such little time. But she was happy to see that he was making several friends and even starting dating Barbara Young, a pretty Sim that looked like she had a heart of gold.

Elderhood
With her bones cracking a little more each day and Kevin being a real grown adult now, she wonders if it is time to say goodbye to her career and retire. When Kevin announces his engagement to Barbara she is extremely happy for him, but also realizes she will be all alone when he move in together with Barbara. She decides to stick to her job a little longer so she still has a reason to go out and see some Sims every day, even though she doesn't really like them that much. Kevin and Barbara have a small wedding, as both of their families are small and Emma is one of the few guests. She had the honor of giving her daugther away, as Barbara's parents aren't around and Emma loved to be this important for both of them on a day like this.

When Kevin and Barbara announce that they are expecting Emma is looking forward to becoming a grandmother. Unexpectedly Kevin starts to bring up his parents Ana and Blair more and more. This makes Emma extremely jealous as she has done the majority of raising him and she had hoped that he would see her as his true and only mother. But Emma decides to bite her tongue and answer his questions as quick and short as possible. She can see that he is disappointed in her answers and is happy when he seems to stop asking. A little while later her granddaughter Naomi Curious is born.

While Emma enjoys her time with her granddaughter, Kevin confesses that he has been in touch with a medium to learn more about his parents. Emma is alarmed, but realizes that most mediums are quacks, so she decides to play along and encourages Kevin to go see her. The tides quickly turn when Kevin comes back with news that the medium was successful and gave him some key information about his parents that nobody could have known. The medium told him that they were definitely murdered and even felt a third presence that had fallen victim to the murderer. Now extremely worried and scared to be caught Emma packs her things and is ready to leave. When she took one final look at her sleeping granddaughter she was tempted to take her with her, but was disturbed by Barbara who came into Naomi's room to check on her. When Barbara saw that Emma was dressed she asked where she was going. Emma replied that she couldn't sleep so she was going for a late night drive. It would only be days later, after news of Emma's crimes were exposed that her car was found in the local lake, but Emma's body was never found.
