anyway i feel like i rag on how emma is written a lot so here go some emma Things I Appreciate:
honestly her whole dedication to swimming pre-metamorphosis is beyond impressive. the fact that girlie was so dedicated to her craft that she still swam when she had the flu? when she broke her arm?! we stan a girlboss
ultimately she is very very sweet and caring, even if sometimes she can be a tiny bit bossy she always tries to extend kindness towards people. she is unfailingly friendly to strangers and acquaintances and honestly has enviable social skills
the flip side of this is that you do not want to get on her bad side. like, at all. she is smart and incisive and will cut you so bad you won't even know you've been cut. cross emma gilbert at your peril
but no she is a socialite queen, inviting what looks like the entire female student body of her school to a sleepover party every single year. i would imagine pre-metamorphosis she was probably near the top of the social hierarchy at school just by simply being a nice, friendly, helpful, sociable person
her love for her family is very, very sweet. she loves her mum but is such a daddy's girl too. she would legit do anything for elliot and is super protective of him. she also seems close with her extended family and even knows her dad's colleagues whom she invites to his birthday party that she organised without any help like? imagine being that level headed and responsible
emma's whole relationship with ms. chatham is beyond sweet. she is so kind and conscientious towards her at every turn when rikki is being rude or cleo is acting a little silly. i'm not usually one to preach about respecting your elders however the way she cared for ms. chatham and brought her into her home when she fell homeless actually made my heart quadruple in size
noah fence to my guy wilfred but the juicenet café would have crumbled into smithereens without her. wilfred basically says as much himself, she is an asset to that place and, once again, a girlboss extraordinaire
she has a really firm sense of justice, too. at harrison bennett's luncheon to support the exacerbation of the climate crisis or whatever she was the first to pipe up and protest the mako island development. she is clever and astute enough as a teenage girl in a group of seasoned businessmen to speak up, and perhaps more importantly knew how to use the right words not to incite a huge argument or risk embarrassing her dad
she is reliable and smart and dependable. she is exactly the type of person you want to have around in a crisis and is nearly always able to keep her cool. the first thing she does whenver things turn pear-shaped is say 'let's be sensible about this' and then proceed to say something sensible while everyone else around her loses their minds
i just think it's cute that she came up with a new smoothie for the juicenet called a banana beatbox, spent ages perfecting the recipe, and even vouched for the smoothie to stay on the menu when it was on the cutting room floor
she definitely has somewhat of a hard exterior but in her heart is deeply sensitive and feels hurt very strongly (looking at you byron now apologise again for calling her an 'evil training dragon' lmao)
the thing about emma is that she believes in people. she sees their potential before they themselves are able to see it. she can hold a grudge when necessary but she is also quick to forgive, and quick to apologise too. she is supportive and encouraging of her friends above all and would go to the ends of the earth for them
one time for no apparent reason she randomly had a horticulture directory just. sitting open on her desk. did they study horticulture at school like mr. shiff i need answers
i think we as a society need to reflect on the fact that, of the three main merms, emma was the most open to the idea of charlotte and always tried to include her. cleo was usually pretty antagonistic towards her, while rikki never really gave her a chance in the first place. emma discouraged cleo and rikki from their juvenile behaviour and only took a step back from charlotte when she actually gave her a reason to
feel free to add your fav things about emma!!
