            <rewrite>
                <adapter_customer>Namespace_Ems_Model_Adapter_Customer</adapter_customer>
            </rewrite>
        </baobaz_ems>
    </models>
</global>

2nd step: Define your custom attributes

app\code\local\Namespace\Ems\Model\Adapter\Customer.php:

<?php
class Namespace_Ems_Model_Adapter_Customer extends Baobaz_Ems_Model_Adapter_Customer
{
    /**

     */
    public function _getAttributes()
    {
        $attributes = parent::_getAttributes();
        
        $attributes['attribute_1_code'] = 'attribute_1_name';
        $attributes['attribute_2_code'] = 'attribute_2_name';

    public function getPrefix()
    {
        $prefix = $this->getCustomer()->getPrefix();
        switch ($prefix) {
            case 'MR':
                $value = 'Monsieur';
                break;
            case 'MME':
                $value = 'Madame';
                break;
            case 'MLE':
                $value = 'Mademoiselle';
                break;
            default:
