Appearance: Emma has long and slightly wavy blonde hair that gets lighter at the front. She has beautiful turquoise eyes. Her nose is slightly bigger than a normal person. She is naturally beautiful but likes to wear pink lipstick and red eye-shadow.

Backstory: Emma lived a normal life when growing up. Her family was poor, but could still afford food that can get them through each week. Her family was made up of her mother, father, older sister Courtney and baby brother Timothy. Emma struggled to make friends at her school because she is loud and quite obnoxious. So she hang out with Courtney and her best friend Nadine. Courtney and Nadine didn't want Emma to hang with them because they find her annoying and they think she is trying to destroy their friendship. Emma persisted to become friends with Courtney and Nadine, but they continued to leave her out. One day, just over 5 years when Emma was 11, Courtney and Nadine wanted to secretly go on a picnic at the quiet and private lake on the other side of District 10. Emma begged them to come and after lots of persistence, the friends reluctantly agreed, but she had to stay out of their way and look after baby Timothy. When they arrived at the lake, Nadine wanted to go swimming. Emma also wanted to which left Courtney looking after Timothy. As they were slowly wading in, holding eachother's hands, Nadine slipped on a grimy rock. She fell into a deep drop-off. Emma was dragged in with her. They were both screaming for Courtney to help them. Courtney ran in and grabbed Emma, who was not as far away as Nadine. As Emma ran onto shore, Nadine's head went under the water. The sisters the ran back to their cottage, sobbing hysterically. That evening, the peacekeepers found Nadine's body and forbidded anyone from visiting the lake again. After arriving back to their cottage, Emma went to thank Courtney for saving her. Courtney however, screamed at Emma. She said that it was her fault that Nadine died and she should've never come to the lake. Courtney threw her friendship bracelet from Nadine at Emma. Emma tried to give it back, but Courtney said that Nadine was dead, so she should throw it away. Instead, Emma decided to keep it to remember Nadine. Now, Emma can't even look at her sister anymore, as she is overwhelmed by guilt because of what happened at the lake. Emma wants to avenge Nadine if she got reaped for the hunger games. She practised her swimming at the lake secretly so she cannot drown and trained with a kitchen knife by throwing it into trees and practising fancy tricks.

Personality: Emma is a very sweet, kind and fun girl. She can be loud and obnoxious however if she's comfortable being around someone. She is very determined of getting what she wants. This unfortunately leads to jealousy. Emma is jealous of people like her sister. She often relies on other people and doesn't like being alone or unnoticed.

Strengths: After the incident at the lake, Emma became a very good swimmer. So good infact, that she can rival the District 4 tributes. Another one of Emma's strengths is running. She is very fast and can run short and long distances. She won her races for both short and long distance running. She even went to the Capitol to participate in a national running competition. She is also loyal to her friends.

Weaknesses: Emma is not very strong. Unless she had a weapon on her, she would probably lose a hand-hand combat fight. Another weakness for Emma is her jealousy. She can get jealous quite easily.

Fears: Emma is scared of being an outcast. She's afraid of being talked about and people turning on her. She is also afriad of being alone during the games. She thinks alliances are protection and she can protect her alliance members.

Token: Courtney's friendship bracelet that Nadine gave her.

Alliances: Emma would like a 2 or 3 person alliance. She doesn't like big alliances as there is more chance of mini-alliances and betrayal. She also doesn't want to go in alone.
