Emma is an obsessive compulsive young housewife. everything in her life has to be perfect including her house and her husband. she is very particular about the way she looks and spends a long time making herself look presentable in the morning. Emma has no idea how to be with children but loves the idea of having them, more like a pet than a child. She spends her time at home learning how to bake cakes and try out new recepies for her husbands dinner when he returns from work. Although Emma enjoys being the perfect housewife she is quite lonely and is greatful for any company in the day.

Jamie is a dreamer and is very cheaky. he likes to play on his own as this way his game will go exactly as he wants it. he is very clever and he knows it, infact he thinks most other people to be a bit stupid. he has worked out that he can play people for treats and nearly always gets what he want because of it. He is not so much devious but oblivious to the fact that what he is doing is wrong.
