**Childhood:** When Emma had only been five days old, she was brought to the council for an examination and it was discovered Emma had a special magic gene, which combined with an implanted special power called the chosen power, made her the chosen one.

Due to her magical status as the chosen one, Emma was attacked regularly throughout her childhood by evil members of the magic community who wanted to either kidnap her or kill her. Despite this, Emma's parents did their best to give her a normal childhood. Growing up, Emma mostly played with her cousins, her foster sister, and one other witch she met in the third grade.

Emma was closest to her mother growing up. She and her mother enjoyed scrapbooking

   together. When Emma had been six she had enjoyed pretending to be a butterfly which caused Maria to nickname her "Baby butterfly." Emma apparently loved orange juice so much her mother used to joke about her turning into an orange one day because of how much orange juice she drank.

Emma had only been ten-years-old when her mother was murdered in the family home. Emma had been at home during the start of the attack but had gone to the council via a portal right before her mother was killed. Therefore, Emma did not witness her mother's murder. She, like Francisco and Andi, was informed of Maria's passing by Lily later on.

Since Emma was no longer living with a parent who had magic and she was the right age the council forced Emma to attend W.I.T.S Academy for her magic education two months after her mother's death. She attended the Academy for four years alongside her cousin Maddie.

After graduating from the Academy at fourteen, Emma spent the summer of 2004 going through her chosen one training. She was trained by the former chosen one, Ava Rueda. She then started high school at Iridium. At the same time, she finally took on her chosen one obligations. During ninth grade, Emma and Maddie drifted apart. Emma started dating Jax Novoa. Also in ninth grade, Emma used her magic to bring a virtual zombie Andi was attached to out of the game to save him from being killed by Jax. From then on, she helped Andi keep the zombie a secret from the council.

**Family:** Emma is the daughter of Francisco Alonso and the late Maria Alonso, she is an only child. (See Francisco for his and Emma's relationship.) Whenever Emma talks about her mother, it's always with love. She never has anything bad to say about her. Emma was close to her mother before she died. They loved scrapbooking together and Maria always teased Emma about how much orange juice she drank. "Oh, you and your orange juice! I swear you're going to turn into an orange one day." Emma was home at the beginning of the attack that ended her mother's life. However, Emma had escaped through a portal just seconds before Maria was killed. The attacker had been after Emma and Maria used all of her strength to distract the witch in order to give Emma time to contact the council for back up. She then used the remainder of her strength to open a portal to allow her to escape. This caused Maria to collapse from exhaustion and overuse of her magic. She saw her daughter escape and then her life was taken. Emma often misses her mother.

Emma was scared when she learned she was pregnant at just fifteen-years-old. She wasn't sure what she wanted to do but ruled out abortion right away. Eventually, she decided on keeping her baby even if it meant raising her on her own. (See Jax for his and Emma's relationship.) As her daughter was growing up, Emma was often overprotective of her, yet treated her like an adult. Emma always treated Jessie as an equal instead of as a child. Jessie appreciated this and having her opinions and views taken seriously. However, there were times Emma disallowed Jessie to help her in grown-up situations. Their relationship struggled while Emma attempted to train Jessie on how to be the chosen one. Jessie made a lot of mistakes and this often frustrated her mother. Emma was always there for her daughter and allowed her to live her life the way she chose, never forcing her to do anything she didn't want to do.

Andi is without a doubt Emma's best friend, always has been. Andi lived with Emma for seven years during their childhood because she was being fostered by Emma's parents. During these years is when their bond began but their bond grew stronger and stronger throughout their adult lives. Emma was always Andi's number one supporter and did everything she could t0 help Andi and Andi's family.  She took in Andi's son Ethan for a few months at one point too. The girls go through everything together, never allowing the other to go through anything alone. They hang out as much as possible.

Emma wasn't also that close with her cousin Maddie. As kids, they had been best friends but drifted away in the early teens. However, at 15, they both fell pregnant around the same time. The pregnancies bonded them together and made them extremely close. Their friendship lasted throughout their lives. Emma's other friends include; Katie Rice, Gigi Ryland, and Kim Sanders, Emma is just as close with each of her other friends.

Another important person in her life is her magic-guardian Lily Foster. Lily is very supportive of Emma and they are quite close. While in high school, Emma often talked with Lily about her life and her struggles. Lily listened and cared about Emma very much. "I love you, Emma, like you are my own daughter." Lily - Emma. However, the two didn't spend as much time together in Emma's adult life.

**Emma's teenage pregnancy**

In August of 2005, Emma found out she was pregnant at just fifteen-years-old. Emma was terrified to tell her boyfriend and her father. For the first few weeks, Emma tried to pretend she wasn't pregnant but her father eventually found out and she decided to tell her boyfriend. Her father was furious and chose to give her the silent treatment, and her boyfriend decided to dump her.

Emma was strong throughout most of her pregnancy but she did have one moment where she felt like she couldn't do it anymore but felt better after a chat with her cousin's boyfriend Diego Rueda. She ruled out having an abortion pretty early on. After being invited to live with Lily, Emma chose to keep her child, and eventually she and Jax got back together. However, Emma didn't end up living with Lily as she moved in with her boyfriend instead. In the last chapter, Emma went into labor and gave birth to a healthy baby girl whom she and Jax decided to name Jessica Maria Novoa.

**The missions**

Back in the ninth grade, Emma was the one who had magically taken Phillip the zombie and brought him to the real world. She had played a big role in helping Andi find Phillip and giving them a peaceful life. In the first book, when Phillip was captured by the council, Emma played a major role in helping Andi cope. She also made a few attempts at getting Phillip back. Each attempt was unsuccessful. To save Andi's unborn baby from being taken by the council as well, Emma promised that as the chosen one she would ensure the baby was harmless and could fit in with the mortal world.

The third mission was in reference to making it safe for Andi and her family to return home and being able to live in peace. This mission started in the fourth book and was solved in the fifth book. The only problem was the council who wanted Luke captured and Andi punished for returning Luke's zombie memories. They also after Luke and Andi's son Ethan who they could use to lure Luke and Andi to them.

In the first chapter, Emma was told by Maddie who was told by Sophie that the council would be busy in Australia for the weekend. Therefore, Emma believed it was safe for Andi to return to the mortal realm as long as she stayed with someone who possessed magic. Emma and Andi decided to meet up with Jax, Diego, and Maddie at the Seven for lunch. During which, Emma had left the table for a brief time to use the washroom. When she returned, she learned of the run in the other had just had with the council. Emma decided to bring everyone to her father's house for safekeeping. The next day, Emma had her daughter and her cousin's daughter open a portal of their own to safely transport Andi back to the Academy.

**The disappearances case**

In the first chapter, Jessie recited a conversation she had with her mother to her friends. Apparently, Emma hadn't heard from Gigi, Shawn, Gracie, or Katie and was worried. She even told Jessie that she might have to handle this as "the chosen one." Which, according to Ethan, meant things had to be seriously wrong. The first Emma actually appeared was shortly later in the first chapter. Emma hosted a meeting at her house with the family and friends of those who were missing. No one had heard from them or knew where they were. At the end of the first chapter, Emma went to the Academy and reported Gigi, Shawn, Gracie, Katie, and Sophie missing to Agamemnon, not wanting to have to work with the council.

In the second chapter, Emma was forced to put aside the case of the disappearances when a Kanay was creating strange weather patterns in a jungle. Emma teleported to him, and to her surprise, he led her to a woman who turned out to be Gigi. He explained he had come across her and she had asked him to get her attention. Emma brought Gigi to Lily to be examined and then reunited her with her parents. However, later in the chapter, Gigi went missing again, and only shortly before her mother went missing. Emma now had six missing witches on her hands.

As the second chapter went on, Duggie and Aggie decided it was best for Emma to remain at the Academy under their protection. Emma hesitantly agreed though wasn't happy they weren't allowing her to return home to collect her husband and cousin. However, Emma ended up leaving the academy because her daughter had decided to return home to collect her father. While searching for Jessie in the mortal realm with Andi's help, she discovered her parents-in-law were missing, her husband was missing, and her daughter was missing. Emma then vanished in thin air was later reported missing by Andi.

In the fourth chapter, Emma randomly appeared in Miami with no memory of what had happened to her. To her dismay, she found out the disappearances had gotten worse as she tried locating the family members who had still been around when she had gone missing. She was then reunited with Andi at the Academy. Towards the end of the chapter, Emma was reunited with her daughter who apparently hadn't been missing at all. She was also reunited with her husband and mother-in-law who hadn't been missing either but rather out of the country in hiding.

In the first chapter of the fifth book, a dream led to Emma discovering that Shawn and Gracie, who were thought to be two of the original five disappearance victims, had actually been held hostage by the council. Emma found them in the basement of the council building dirty, bruised, scraped, burned, and almost starving.
