Biography[]
Attending Brakebills[]
- "So, I fell for this professor. I know how it sounds, but I was young and... and he loved me. But then, well, he was married."
- ―Emily Greenstreet to Alice Quinn and Margo Hanson
In 2010, Emily Greenstreet attended Brakebills University, where she was sorted into Physical Magic and took up residence in the Physical Kids' Cottage. She also became close friends with another student, Charlie Quinn.[1]
Love Affair with Mayakovsky[]
- "You know how it is at that age. You get... terrible ideas."
"Like what?"
"I thought I could make him love me again."
"Some kind of love spell?"
"No. No. I thought if I could make myself prettier..." - ―Greenstreet and Margo Hanson
While attending Brakebills, Greenstreet met Mischa Mayakovsky, a professor at the school, and the two became engaged in an affair. At some point, Mayakovsky broke off the affair with Greenstreet, causing her to try to find a way to make the professor love her again. After weeks of preparing, Greenstreet attempted to perform a spell to change her appearance, making herself prettier; however, the spell failed and, devastated by the result, Greenstreet ran from the Cottage to Van Pelt Fountain, where she was preparing to kill herself by jumping into the bottomless fountain.
Unbeknownst to her, Charlie had heard the commotion and ran out after her. Once he saw the damage the spell had caused, Quinn attempted to repair her face, combining multiple different spells together. Unfortunately, the amount of magic Quinn was channeling soon flooded his system, burning him from the inside with a blue flame as he transformed into a Niffin. Afterward, Mayakovsky helped repair Greenstreet's face.[1]
