Backstory: Emilia was born to Ginevera Oswald (nee Petrix), the mayor of District 4, and Brain Oswald, leader of the fishers in District Four. Because of her parent’s positions, Emila enjoyed the fine life. She had a little sister named Jenny, who, according to her mom, had “her father’s fair looks and her grandma’s stubborn personality". Emilia and Jenny were close, and were each other’s best friend.

Outside of the District, the Oswalds were extremely good friends with the Lancasters from District 2. Often, they would go over to each other’s houses to visit and talk about life in each other’s District. The Lancaster’s eldest daughter, Audrey, became friends with Emilia while their younger siblings, Jenny Oswald and Micheal Lancaster, started to fall in love with each other and become good friends as well.

On reaping day, when Emilia was fourteen, her sister’s name, Jenny, was reaped. Emilia went up to volunteer, but her sister stopped her, telling her that she would be all right. In the games, her sister made it to the final two, but was nearly killed by an earthquake. She was crowned the victor after Micheal Lancaster escaped the arena. Emilia was overjoyed for her sister, but was determined to bring honor to her family by being victor as well.

When Emilia was fifteen, she volunteered to participate in the games. Her sister Jenny was worried sick for her, but Emilia told her otherwise, telling Jenny that her big sister would win for her.
