Emily Wyatt

Emily Wyatt is the leading lady of Deadly Premonition and has been described as the sparkling jewel of Greenvale. She is the first local resident that Agent Francis York Morgan introduces himself to, and seems to respect his judgment, even if she disagrees with his lone-wolf methods. She is a tough, yet considerate police officer, friendly with almost everyone in town. Unlike most of the other characters, Emily was not born in Greenvale and instead hails from Seattle. She is a terrible cook and prefers steak above all other foods.

History
Emily grew up in Seattle, where her father was a stockbroker. He seemed to care more for his investments than his family, and thus Emily was much closer with her mother, who was much more interested in her. The family moved to Greenvale 10 years ago while Emily was in high school. Sadly, Emily's mother died of cancer soon after moving to Greenvale, entrusting Emily with a gold leaf-shaped necklace. Eventually, after accompanying York on all of his various investigations, she goes to investigate the Clock Tower, where she is finally playable, with the help of Forrest Kaysen, where she finds Thomas, swinging on gears in his sister's dress. Here she kills him, hesitantly. Afterwards, she is kidnapped by Kaysen, and is implanted with the soul-consuming seed, and it slowly destroys her. She begs Zach to shoot her (something he can't bring himself to do) and ultimately tears the sapling out herself, freeing her, but directly causing her death. Dying in Zach's arms, she confesses that she loves him and wanted to be with him. Zach entrusts her soul to York before finally confronting Kaysen. York and Emily are later seen in the Rainy Woods, along with all of the other victims of the case, even Thomas (whose death was Emily's doing).
