SELFIE. NAME. Emma Frost HEIGHT & BUILD. 5'10", 144 lbs ~*~*BULLSHIT COMIC BOOK STATS ALERT*~*~ Anyway, she's been a femme fatale character since day one, so she's got that idealized hourglass figure with only slight muscle tone visible. DEXTERITY. Right hand dominant. PHYSICAL DETAILS. Emma is gorgeous, but it's very...artful if you're being polite, artificial if you're not. When she was younger, probably too young to legally consent to it, she made the conscious decision to remodel herself from a mousy teenager (she ain't a natural blond, folks) to a power-playing ice queen. Her supervillain boyfriend paid for extensive plastic surgery, which she freely admits to--the gold-digging and the various nips and tucks both--and she came out the other side as the White Queen. Her body cost more than most people's houses, and you can tell by looking. CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES. She wears all white. All the time. It's an affectation she's had since she was introduced, and it only recently changed in canon. (To all black all the time.) If she's not wearing heels, it's probably because you surprised her when she was in the shower. She favors dresses and skirts, usually short or at least slit high, and low necklines. Subtle, she is not. It's only saved from being tacky by the fact her taste is pretty much flawless and also very expensive. Diamond jewelry mostly, and she usually wears her hair down. Her fragrance of choice is apparently Dior, but that was from a Fraction issue so ehhhhh. Her superhero costume is a nod to her supervillain costume, and is only medium-impractical because she turns into invulnerable diamond as her secondary power. Only Reed Richards and possibly Hank McCoy know how it stays up.

PHYSICAL MANNERISMS. Emma never, ever slouches and usually manages to make it seem like she's looking down her nose even if she's sprawled on the ground. She's graceful in a practiced rather than a natural way, and she doesn't talk with her hands much. She tends to lounge when she's sitting, and she's entirely unafraid to take up space, physically or metaphorically. If she fails to make eye contact, it's because she's slighting you, not because she's nervous. Since she's already tall, her preference for heels makes her loom over everyone but the tallest men, and she's practically eye-level with them. If Emma is using body submissive or nervous body language, something is either very, very wrong, or you're being manipulated. VERBAL MANNERISMS. I haaaaaate that bullshit "Emma fakes an English accent" canon it makes no sense and it's based on one noncommittal speech bubble from 2001 yes I mad. Uh. Anyway. I decided she has a Boston Brahmin accent, in keeping with her upbringing, which can kinda sound English if you're not familiar with it. Think Charles from M*A*S*H. She doesn't use a lot of slang but also doesn't fall on the weirdo sounds-like-a-robot side of that divide that writers sometimes land in when they try to write someone with formal speech patterns. She peppers her sentences with endearments. "Darling" is basically a meaningless verbal tic--she'd probably call Red Skull that if she talked to him long enough--but "dear" is usually sincere. Her sense of humor is dry and sarcastic, and girlfriend really knows how to wield a conversational stiletto when she wants to.
░░░ misc.
Psychically, Emma feels exactly how she wants to feel; she's a powerful psychic and can project whatever she cares to. If she's not making a conscious effort one way or another, other psychics tend to describe her using ice or jewel metaphors--diamond, cold, smooth, crystalline, flawless, sharp, etc. When her mental shields are up, attackers or people she's defending perceive them as diamond, and when she's in her psychically invulnerable diamond form, only the most powerful psychics can even detect her at all.
