> Emma's Catchphrase

**Emma Evangeline Ross** is one of the main characters of *Jessie*. She is the eldest and only biological child of Morgan Ross and Christina Ross in New York City.

Emma was portrayed by Peyton List.

## Description

Emma is pictured to be a very pretty and quite tall (for her age) creamy pale-skinned girl with chest-length blonde hair and hazel eyes.

She usually changes her hair throughout the series.

* For most of season 1-3, her hair was straight and she rarely curled it or put it up.
* As of season 4, she began to curl her hair as she added some body and bounce to it.

She is very much into fashion and wears the latest trends, which are usually bright colors and girly. On occasion, she wears a skirt or dress but tends to stick to jeans. Her regular choices of shoes are usually flats but sometimes can be seen wearing heels. In Season 1, she often wears colored tights and/or long socks. She wears glasses in some episodes, suggesting she may be wearing contacts most of the time. She is also lactose intolerant.

## Personality

Emma is a sweet, girly and a very fashionable teenage girl who strives to do her best with everything she does, despite being a bit of a "blonde airhead". Sometimes she is shown to be somewhat ditzy, but is actually extremely intelligent and has displayed the intellectual edge over many people.

Emma displays a little bit of sass into most things. That's probably where Zuri Ross (Emma's sister) gets it from.

Emma has a very good sisterly bond with Zuri, but she usually fights with Luke Ross and occasionally Ravi Ross. She is a Directioner because in random conversations or dreams, she brings up the band.

On occasion, Emma has also proven to be a typical rebellious teen, as seen in the episodes Badfellas and Karate Kid-tastrophe. The first time was when she was being wrongfully influenced by Vincent Liotta (Emma's new boyfriend) and even began to wear attire with disapproval from Jessie. The second time was when Emma went through a phase and had a bad attitude towards Jessie Prescott and her siblings, wearing inappropriate clothing for school, and standing in front of Jessie with her arms crossed in a rude gesture. She further crossed the line by dressing in black and using too much makeup and dying her hair purple.

Emma appears to be very likable among her peers and can easily make friends. It is for this that she is among the most popular kids at her school.

## History

Emma was born to Morgan Ross and Christina Ross in late 1998 where she is the oldest and only biological child of the famous and rich couple before her parents has adopted three children:

* Her younger brother, Luke Ross was adopted when she was about five in late 2003.
* Her younger sister Zuri Ross was adopted when Emma was six in 2004 and Zuri was a new baby.
* Her younger brother Ravi Ross was adopted when she was thirteen, Ravi was ten, and it was just before the beginning of Season 1.

Throughout her life, her family had hired many nannies, but the kids misbehaved so much, because they wanted their parents' attention, that they all quit until her family hired Jessie Prescott, who would end up working for them for four years from 2011 to 2015.
