Creating Characters #3 - Emmett and Emma Kenston of 'Where Lemons Bloom'

Emmett and Emma Kenston 

Emmett and Adamo meet at Harvard, where they are college roommates. Adamo is the athletic type, into martial arts, on the rowing team, into rock climbing.  And woman-bait. Adamo is good at the academics but is not driven.

Emmett is diametrically opposite. He is short, stoop shouldered, he wears glasses, (think Woody Allen), and he is buried in technology. Against all odds he and Adamo become fast friends. They seemed to fill each other’s gaps. Adamo, a social animal, Emmett, a recluse, a serious student, with few social graces, and inept around women, but a wiz at math and at the computer –a near genius.

They go on to graduate school together and decide after graduation, to set up an investment business. Adamo with his charm and contacts is a natural for bringing in the clients, while reclusive Emmett is a whiz at choosing the right stocks at the right moment.

Emmett has never had a girlfriend. He is reclusive, and a bit afraid of women.

Emma Kenston, Emmett’s twin sister, is disabled, wheel chair bound. Equal to her brother in intelligence, she is a writer who lives in seclusion in a residential facility in upstate NY, paid for by Emmett. Emma is charming, and beautiful. How they can be twins is a mystery to everyone who knows them. However she is very close to Emmett. She may be the only one who understands his tortured genius.
