Emily Wyatt

Emily Wyatt is the leading lady of Deadly Premonition (2010) and has been described as the sparkling jewel of Greenvale. She is the first local resident that FBI Agent Francis York Morgan introduces himself to. Although she takes a disliking to him at first due to his lone-wolf attitude and tendency to bring up gory prior cases, she begins to respect his judgment as the story progresses. She is a tough, yet considerate Deputy Sheriff police officer and although she has few close friends, she remains very friendly with almost everyone in town. Unlike most of the other characters, Emily was not born in Greenvale and instead hails from Seattle. She is a terrible cook and prefers steak above all other foods. Emily grew up in Seattle, where her father was a stockbroker. He seemed to care more for his investments than his family, and she was much closer with her mother. The family moved to Greenvale 10 years ago while Emily was still in high school. She was ostracized due to her manner of dress, which was more appropriate for a city like Seattle and shocked the more conservative townsfolk. That year, she was asked out by the then 32-year-old George Woodman. She declined his advancement but, unbeknownst to her, she continued to be the object of his obsession. Soon after the move, Emily's mother died of cancer. She entrusted Emily with a gold leaf-shaped necklace before her death. Emily's father is alive during the events of Deadly Premonition, but Emily reveals that their relationship is still strained and distant. During the course of the game, Emily accompanies York on all of his various investigations. She and York get to know each other on a more personal level during regular lunches and car rides. Eventually, the two spend an evening in York's hotel room, which is mostly spent satisfying some of her curiosity about his headmate, Zach.
