**Behind her name:**Emily's parents had a hard time naming their daughter. Maddie just couldn't find a name she really liked. Diego knew Maddie was fond of names that began with the letter E and began suggesting E names. One of these names was "Emily"and Maddie instantly fell in love with the name. On their first date, Diego had given Maddie a rose. So, they chose "Rose," as Emily's middle name to symbolize their relationship.

**Birth:** Emily was born into the series in the last chapter of the first book. At birth, Emily weighed six pounds and was 19.4 inches.

**Early childhood:** Emily was around three-years-old when she developed her witch magic.

At the age of five, she developed her kanay magic. While showing off her new powers to Jessie and Ethan, she accidentally blew up Jessie's comic book with lightning. To retaliate, Jessie threatened to send an evil Kanay after her and this really got to Emily. Every time there was thunder outside, Emily was convinced it was the evil Kanay coming after her. Scared, she would teleport herself into Ethan's bedroom and spend the night with him. Eventually, their mothers found out and came up with a plan. Two enchanted mirrors were created so that the kids could see and talk to each other whenever they wanted without internet or having to be in the same room. Apparently, at some point, the mirrors went missing. This was mentioned by Ethan.

**The teenage years:** Emily was always said to be mature beyond her years.

    As a teenager, she took this to a whole new level. Emily was never much of a teenager, aside from cheerleading and attending high school as well as spending time with her friends and having a boyfriend. Within her teenage years, Emily gave birth to three children. (First two weren't planned, the last one was.) Through most of her teenage years, Emily couldn't be a normal teenager, she always had to think of her children before doing anything. Luckily, Emily wasn't alone as her boyfriend Ethan helped her raise their children. Emily was a relatively good mom who loved her children very much. Emily sometimes struggled with her kids' behavior and attitude but seemed to control them better than Ethan did.

**Relationships:** Emily is the daughter of Diego and Maddie Rueda, she has an older adopted sister named Melanie. On her father's side, she is the granddaughter of Andrew and Ava, the niece of Ruby and Gigi, and the first-cousin of Robert, Shawn, Tommy, Isabella, Anabella, Noah, Mason, Gabriella, Gage, and Valentine. She is also related to their descendants. On her mother's side, she is the granddaughter of Alexander and Ursula, the niece of Sophie VanPelt, and the first-cousin of Sara Lauren. She is also the great-niece of Ursula's brother Francisco, the first-cousin once removed of his daughter Emma, and the second-cousin of her daughter Jessie. Emily is also the aunt of Melanie's daughter's Secret and Mystery. She is the great-aunt of Scarlett Ryland.

Emily and her sister had a rocky relationship throughout their teenage years. Emily was nearing the age of eleven when Melanie (age 12) was adopted. Emily was super excited to have a sister and couldn't wait to start bonding with her. It was mentioned they had bonded a ton over the first summer they shared together, and when the following school year started, they appeared to be close. However, the two started slowly drifting apart because they didn't have much in common. They also didn't see much of each other while Emily was at W.I.T.S Academy.

In their teenage years, Melanie was embarrassed that Emily was her sister because Emily was a teen mom. Melanie didn't like that they had to attend the same high school and tried to hide the fact they were sisters. This hurt Emily's feelings. As time moved on, Melanie realized she should support her sister and stood up for her at school. However, their relationship was still shaky. They weren't very close and didn't spend much time together. "Yeah, you two never were the secret-sharing type of sisters." Ben - Emily. Tables turned when Emily became embarrassed of Melanie after catching her having sex with their cousin Robert. Melanie defended her love for him stating it wasn't wrong because they weren't related by blood and they had both been adopted into the family. It took time but Emily came to accept that Melanie had real feelings for their cousin. In adult life, they didn't live close to each other so they didn't see each other all that much but they appeared to be on good terms.

Emily was a girly-girl, which meant she didn't have a lot in common with her male friends. Emily and Shawn weren't only friends, they were also cousins. It was mentioned that though these two were good friends, they didn't often spend time together alone as children. However, in their teenage years, they became closer and spent more time together. Emily was also on friendly terms with her cousin Sara while they were growing up but didn't see a lot of each other. Although, they apparently did attend the same elementary school. "Why don't I see you around school anymore?" Sara - Emily. In their mid-teens, they started hanging out more, especially when Sara fell pregnant. Emily helped her through it, and eventually, Emily invited Sara to be a part of her group.

It was suggested Emily may have been close with Gracie because they were both girly and enjoyed the same things such as makeovers. However, they didn't appear to hang out much. In fact, Emily normally only spent alone time with Ethan and Jessie. With her other friends, she seemed to spend time with them mostly in group outings. At first, Emily wasn't fond of Ben and wasn't sure if he had what it took to be in the group. She was hard on him and it took her nearly four years to finally decide they were friends and he should be in the group. These two never grew closes and didn't bond much.

**Personality:** Emily was a lot like her mother, to say the least. She was snarky and sarcastic. She stated her opinions and stood her ground. Emily came off as quite intimidating to most people and she wasn't someone you wanted to mess with. Emily was also protective and sometimes vindictive. She was strong-headed as well. Yet, she also had a very loving and gentle side to her when it came to those she loves. She seemed to be the most mature of her friends and the most serious of them.

**Emily's magic training**

In September 2016, Emily, age 10 - 11, was a first-year witch in training. She was given her aunt Ruby Fletcher as her guardian and her best friend Ethan as her teammate. Emily was a rather good student and quite a powerful witch.
