Emma Ji

***[Spoilers Ahead]***

Unnamed Mother

Unnamed Father

Emma is the main female character in the Webtoon Super Secret. She is a ditzy and clumsy college student and is often dependent on Ryan Nam, who she thinks of as a mother, father, and brother and later, a love interest

## Appearance

Emma has shoulder length, peach colored hair that is curled a bit at the ends (a perm, maybe). She usually wears light colors that contrast with Ryan's colder color scheme; she likes to wear whites, yellows, pinks, baby blues, and some light greens. She usually wears casual clothes over fancy dresses, though some skirts are worn at appropriate times (props to Ryan, of course).

## Personality

Emma seems to have a subdued personality. She, while not shy, is not very loud. She has commented on Jasmine's openness before. Ryan is often shown feeling emotions on Emma's behalf as in the past, she has been told not to be selfish. Emma interpreted this as she should not do the things that she wants, and should instead suppress her feelings.

## History

While Emma was still in the womb, her parents came across an infant Ryan who had wandered out in his wolf form, mistaking him for a puppy. They took him home with them to play with their son, Emma's brother, Ethan. When Ryan's parents found him, they requested that the Ji's return him. Upon their refusal, Ryan's mother became enraged and revealed her true form, kicking up strong winds and demanding her son back. After this, Ryan and Emma's parents worked out a deal that stated once Emma was born, they would come and collect her and she would belong to Ryan. However, when Emma was born they decided they would collect her once she was an adult. Since then, Emma and Ryan have lived next door to each other and have been very close friends. As they grew up, Ryan always stayed by Emma's side and helped her stand up for herself while he always felt the emotions she cannot. Emma's bond with Ryan is a huge part of her history and her growth.

### Ryan Nam

Emma originally views Ryan as a mother/father/brother figure, but as the series progresses, Emma struggles with the fact that he confessed to having romantic feelings for her. Since Episode 61, Emma and Ryan have been in a 'less than lovers, more than friends' relationship. By Episode 82, she confessed to him (with him sleeping and waking up in the middle) and asked him if she could be his girlfriend. In Episode 83, they started dating. They have recently imprinted (a life binding of two mates of Ryan's kind), But suddenly Ryan have to go to an island for water attributes and have to stay there for 3 years, so on Episode 139 or the Last Episode, right before he leave, he place something on Emma right hand and close it into a fist, as he Boarded onto the bus, Emma open her fist to find out what he put, and there - a wedding ring .

### Jasmine Moon

Jasmine seems to be Emma's best friend aside from Ryan. The two attend school together and are often seen spending time together outside of class.

### Ethan Ji

Ethan is Emma's older brother. Due to Ethan's illness, Emma never got much attention from her parents and often had to give up her belongings for Ethan, specifically her favorite teddy bear. She was often upset and just wanted them to be a happy family together. When Emma was young, Ethan and their parents left to live in America, leaving Emma behind. Since he has returned, their relationship has been complicated. Ethan often comments about how she hasn't changed and how scared she is of being selfish. At first Emma treats him a bit awkwardly, and becomes a bit jealous when he starts hanging out with Ryan, feeling as if another thing is getting taken from her. She snaps when Ryan asks her to take care of Ethan, and asks him why decided to return. Ethan admits that he returned to apologize for how she was treated when she was younger, and then encourages her to act for what she wants, and not what others force her to do. After they reconcile, Emma says her "heart feels empty" once Ethan leaves again to tour the world, in Episode 73. Before he leaves, he delivers a teddy bear to her house to apologize for the one she had to give to him.

### Hailey Nam

Hailey was present for Emma's childhood and the two seem to be friends to the point that Emma feels comfortable going to her with her problems. In their youth, Hailey often had to wipe Emma's memories when her identity was revealed. Ryan claims that she is the reason for Emma's clumsiness.

### Katherine Nam

Katherine, like Hailey, was present for Emma's childhood and the two seem to be friends to the point that Emma feels comfortable going to her with her problems.

### Victor Kwon

He is Emma's former boyfriend. They started dating when Jasmine set up a blind date for both of them and said that Victor liked Emma. Emma is also able to open up to Victor about what she wants and her past. Through their relationship, Emma begins to learn how to stand up for herself. When Inna and Victor meet up to talk about their past, Emma accidentally follows them to the cafe and when she hears Inna talk about how Victor doesn't care about her, she proclaims that she is his girlfriend and they walk out together. After this, Victor says that he almost feels guilty for liking her, which may have been a cause for their breakup. When Emma learns that Victor is hospitalized due to the faulty love potion, she falls into a daze and rushes to the hospital, showing how much she cares for him. They end their relationship because Emma says that he is always apologizing to her even though he has nothing to apologize for, and then she acknowledges that while hate may be a form of love, feeling pitiful isn't. She then tells him that she really liked him one last time before suggesting that they break up.
