She is a chain smoker but cannot hold her liquor, becoming very unpredictable when drunk.

History: Emma James grew up moving from one place to the next. Her father, Dr Albert James is a renowned figure in medicine, winner of several awards and celebrated for his work in the field of Neuroscience. A meticulous man, he was always looking for the best location for his research, taking his wife and child with him wherever he went. Jamey had a very sheltered childhood, her mother, a German born romance novel writer, was over zealous and her father was a very strict man, demanding nothing but excellence from his progeny. By the age of 10, Jamey had been in four different countries and attended the best schools available, suffering from a low self esteem and extreme shyness she tried her best to please her parents.

Once she reached her teenage years, her father accepted the position of Director of the Neurology Department at John Hopkins University and the family settled down in Baltimore. Jamey had a turbulent relationship with her father, she was weary of his discipline and like any teenager, rebelled against it. One night, he caught her sneaking out of the house and, as a punishment, made her volunteer at the hospital for the summer. To Jamey's chagrin, she enjoyed it, especially working with the computers and advanced technology. She repeated the experience every year until, one day, when she was 16, Jamey accidentally burned her arm with a dangerous chemical and was left with second degree burns. Her mother was outraged, she blamed Jamey's father for what happened, and they divorced shortly afterwards. Jamey took her mother's side and moved with her to Berlin.

The next few years were some of the best in the girl's life, finally rid of her father's oppression, she went to a public high school and, though never truly popular, was able to make friends and have fun. Her mother married an accountant and a few years later, she entered college. During that time, Jamey decided to go back to the united states and enter medical school.

She was accepted in Washington University and, though a good students, teacher complained she lacked passion. She began her internship in internal medicine but found herself gravitating towards Radiology. To Jamey, diagnosing films was fun, like solving a visual puzzle. During her internship, Jamey met DR Henry Edwards, a professor many years older and fell in love, they moved together after her graduation and he encouraged her to forgive her father, whom she had not spoken with since the divorce came through.

Jamey spent eight years in St. Luis, four of which with Henry, unfortunately in the last year of her residency, she discovered that he had used her to reach her father and have his work published. They broke up and Jamey soon accepted a job offer at Ocean Cove.
