Biography
Kiai! I'm Emerson Cytryn, the son of a great Yale professor. My father was a friend of the Bostwick family. When their daughter Bessie brought home some bonbons, the professor ate the yellow one. When the Bostwicks' maid brought him a dish of soup, he ended up kicking it really high.

Of course, Dad is normally a very rational person, and he feels a bit awkward letting a candy control him. I live in a nice, comfortable home. He's teaching at a different university now - one that's closer to our home in Boston. I have an older brother named Emmanuel. I'm close with both of my parents, as well as my brother. We're not actually related to the original professor, who didn't had any kids of his own, but my dad was a protegee of one of his successors.

Like my father, I'm very studious. I spend much of my time reading books about science. Since my dad is a biology professor, he's taught me to appreciate the natural world. I love animals very much. I have a pet albino hedgehog named John Lemon. It's because of his yellowish quills and because he likes music. I also like observing animals in their natural habitat. I'm fond of other sciences too, like astronomy, chemistry, and geology - and computer science. (I'm good with computers.)

At first I felt a bit nervous going to Ever After High since it's far from America, but. Luckily, there's other students from my parent's story here. There's Roy Joslyn from Mobile, who loves science too. The two of us are both blond guys with glasses who love science. Roy loves to entertain me with his electricity experiments. I try to keep active while I'm here. I'm on the swim team, and I've also been taking karate lessons. I especially love karate since it helps me with my kicking. I've recently gotten my purple belt, but I'm still aiming for a black belt. I hope to teach it one day so I can show others how to execute a good kick.

It's also nice to learn about my story. I admit, my role isn't too big compared to some of the other roles, but I think it's a good role. I get to eat a lemon yellow bonbon that helps my kicking (and lemon is my favorite flavor to boot). Although I don't think I want to kick a dish up to the ceiling. I'm a bit conflicted between my dreams of being a karate teacher and my destiny telling me to be a professor. I like both ideas a lot, so it's kind of hard to just pick one. That's why I'm Neutral.
