Emily Edison grew up in London, spending most of her time in her father's machine shop, where she developed a love for fixing things. Her natural curiosity drove her to take apart and rebuild machines, always looking for ways to improve them. In school, she focused on science and math, excelling in subjects that fed her analytical mind, even joining the chess club for its strategic challenges. After her father’s death, she took over the shop, continuing to work on projects while exploring both legal and underground jobs. Her time in college was brief, as her stubbornness and clashes with professors led her back to hands-on work, where she thrived.

Known to her friends as "Edison" or simply "Eddy," she’s always been the one to solve problems, whether mechanical or personal. Though highly skilled, her racing thoughts often cause her to talk too much when nervous, especially when explaining complex ideas. Driven by the belief that society is controlled by powerful corporations, Eddy is determined to use her talents to push back against the system. She views innovation as the key to breaking free from corporate control and spends her days trying to create a better future through her inventions.
