Well, I wanted her to be the naive girl who did not (fully) believe in the stories her great-grandmother told. I wanted this experience to open her eyes to the fact that the magic did in-fact exist. Emma did not cast the spell, she was protected by Matilda. Matilda (Matilda of the Night and friend to Arwyn) felt the need to protect this girl because of her history with Emma's family. I could add some to the ending to make her seem less foreign to the lore. I could add some hints to her knowing a bit more at the beginning and maybe even add more detail about her family when she comes home. I just don't want too much unnecessary information. Where they live, how much she knows, and details about her history don't move the story really.
