Emma was a young woman of nineteen. She'd been born and raised on the east coast, working with her father on his farm. She'd always been more of a tomboy than anything else, she didn't mind getting dirty. She had long dark hair that was wavy and honey brown eyes that sparkled in the sunlight. She had planned on finding a man to love after her father had passed away, but her father had different plans.
He decided to give her away to a man who had helped him out. This had infuriated Emma. She couldn't just be given away like that, she was a woman not a cow. So she ran on the day of the wedding. She packed up what little was hers and hopped a wagon going to Oregon. She hid in the cargo wagon until it reached a middle of nowhere town. She figured she was far enough away that she'd never been found by her supposed-to-be husband.
She didn't have a glamorous life. She had tried to find work as a seamstress, a worker, anything, but no one wanted a woman to do real work. So she had to dance at a saloon. The owner'd been trying to make her work at the brothel too, but she'd managed to keep her purity despite having to dance. She was there wearing a tight red and black gown, the corset pushing her breasts up more than they probably should be. There was a long slit in the dress, exposing a thigh-high stocking. The men were particularly rowdy that day, they kept trying to grab at her as she danced on the piano.
