Emily Lawton

First Lieutenant Emily Lawton is a Commissioned Officer in the United States Air Force, and is the XO and Technical specialist of Stargate Commands SG-2.

Early life and military career
Emily was born in New York, her mother was English and her father was American. They decided when she was young to move to England, where she grew up. She excelled at school, although her parents divorced when she was in her teens, and her father was going to move back home to the US. She decided to go with him and finish her education there. She finished school with exceptionally high grades and started studying cell biology at university but dropped out after about a year in order to join the air force hoping to travel, against the wishes of her family.

She was selected early during her training for the Stargate training program to potentially join the SGC, and made it straight to SG2 from training.

Personality
Emily is a combination of professional, hard-working and perfectionistic with a childlike excitability that can make her somewhat unpredictable. She has a habit of singing or humming to herself when she’s excited or nervous.
