Emily Merchant

Lady Emily Merchant (born 1840) is a woman who was born in the Victorian era, but later joined the Time Tribe, a group of people travelling through gateways in time called Anomalies. After 3 years with them, she inadvertently got stranded in 2009, taken in by a government organisation the Anomaly Research Centre specialising in dealing with Anomalies. After a brief return home to the 1860s, Emily eventually found love with Matt Anderson of the ARC and joined the organisation.

Pre-Anomalies
Emily Merchant was born in 1840 in London. In the late 1860s, she had an arranged marriage with Henry Merchant, a selfish man with a wealthy family. Emily never loved him. In 1867, she encountered an Anomaly, a gateway in time, in her bedroom and met an Archaepteryx. Emily was quick to pass through the Anomaly to the Jurassic forest.

Joining the ARC in 21st Century
After returning home to 1867 finally, reports of a murderer Spring-Heeled Jack became popular. Emily discovered a Deinonychus behind the attacks, so Emily dressed in a cloak and went to the scene of the crime so people would believe Spring-Heeled Jack was human. By 1868, Emily tried to convince her husband of the things she had seen and that Spring-Heeled Jack was a prehistoric creature. He deemed her insane. Later, Matt encountered Emily in the warehouse Spring-Heeled Jack lived. They encountered but Emily wanted to be left alone before anyone got hurt. Henry caught them and took Emily forcefully with him in their stagecoach. Thanks to Spring-Heeled Jack, Emily escaped byt Henry followed. Emily reunited with Matt and they fought off the raptor, luring it through the Anomaly to the present that Matt came from. Emily rejected Matt asking her to go back with him. However, when Henry appeared and threatened to kill her, Emily changed her mind and returned to the present. She was shot by Henry but survived, who was killed by the raptor.
