Melissa Emery

Melissa Leonie Emery (b. 2nd August 1979) is a Kuboian actress, voice actress, model, singer and author of Swiss origin. With a career spanning over three decades, she rose to fame as a child actress in the late 1980s, especially as the voice of Tenet in the Incredible World of Riddles media franchise.

Early life
Melissa Leonie Emery was born on 2nd August 1979 in Gutstone in the Dominion of Kuboia (now an independent Kuboia). Her mother Olivia Emery and father Luca Meier had migrated to Kuboia in the late 1970s for a quieter and more peaceful life, though her mother ended up being an activist during the Kuboian Independence Movement, causing Emery and her sister Natalie to be mostly estranged from her due to her work commitments. Emery was lonely as a child, claiming she had "literally no friends" for a majority of her childhood, though she did make acquaintances with her tutor.

Career
In late 1987, an eight year-old Emery auditioneed for a role in the Incredible World of Riddles franchise, admitting that she was "just desperate to have something to do". She states that she was given "random lines" to say, but on top of it all was expected to "be [her]self". She was eventually contacted by Ashley Maverick a few weeks later through letter asking if she would like to voice Tenet, a "shy but sweet-minded" character whom Maverick felt Emery was similar too.

Personal life
In 1994, Emery began dating Avoc Westwind, whom she met through doing voice work for The Incredible World of Riddles. The two ended their eleven-year relationship in 2005, with Emery noting "As we got older we began to realise we wanted different things in a relationship. We didn't separate on sour terms, and we still see each other a lot."

In 2006, Emery started dating Sasha Moreau (b. 1985), a German-Wallonian model and actor. Together they have two children; Marie (b. May 2007) and Typ (b. October 2009).
