Emily Ramirez

**Emily Ramirez** is the secondary protagonist of *Close Enough*, the wife of Josh Singleton, and the mother of Candice.

She is voiced by Gabrielle Walsh.

## Biography

"Emily is logical, organized, a planner—everything her husband Josh is not. She’s a loving mother and a strong working woman who tries to have it all. Emily works as an assistant at FoodCorp, a boring job even by processed-food conglomerate standards. In her spare time, of which there is little, she performs comedy-rock songs with her friend Bridgette."

## Physical appearance

Emily is a Mexican-American woman in her 30s with a light skin tone and medium length light brown hair mostly tied into a ponytail with a purple band. She wears a lilac sweater over a white dress shirt that has its sleeves rolled up near her elbows, navy pants that are rolled up near her calves, and reddish-brown boots with laces near the top.

When she was younger, she wore her hair down.

## Personality

Although she is hard-working and rational, Emily also enjoys having fun like her husband. Emily is a loving mother and wife and cares for her family, but she suffers from stress, and often practices forms of escapism, either by playing video games or attending open houses.

Emily is a victim of peer pressure, and possibly has an inferiority complex. She will go to great lengths to please people, even when it inconveniences her friends and family.

## Skills/Habits

* **Bilingual** - She is shown to be highly skilled at speaking Spanish, likely due to the fact that she is apparently of Mexican descent.

* **Acoustic guitar playing/singing**

## Relationships

### Family

* Josh - She and Josh met sometime around 2007-2008 and have been happily married for seven years, and have survived numerous misadventures together.

* Candice - Emily loves her daughter deeply and only keeps her best interests at heart. Even though Josh loves Candice equally as much, Emily is the more responsible parent of the two (even though she has a habit of relying on various ill-advised means of escapism).

### Friends

* Bridgette Hashima - Bridgette and Emily seem to know each other through Alex, but they are still apparently best friends. Additionally, the two of them occasionally work together as parody songwriters, often performing at small clubs.

* Alex Dorpenberger - Emily and Alex are good friends, although Emily can find Alex quite odd.

### Others

* Becca - Becca was Emily’s so-called "friend" since college, who was selfish, vain, lazy, and rude. Emily still stuck by Becca due to having known her for so long and due to being a pushover. However, after putting up with her as a roommate in "Houseguest From Hell", and Becca claiming that Emily was selfish, Emily had finally had enough, and told Becca to get out of her house and her life for good.
