● strengths: Emma is strong and durable. She believes that she’ll always come out on top because she’s fighting for the side of good. She doesn’t let the world beat her down and has overcome many trials to get to where she is now. She prides herself on being able to do things without help though she won’t let her pride get in the way of accepting help when she needs it.

She’s understanding and firm while also being kind and caring to those she loves. Emma has an amazing power to believe. It’s an ability that she had learned from her son and it continues to define her. This belief makes her stronger and allows her to have hope during the times when all hope seems lost. This is a testament to Emma’s birth. The power of true love and its magic. It has taken Emma a long time to believe, but the love of her family and friends has shown her that love is indeed a powerful weapon.

Finally, Emma can be selfless. She will do anything to keep the people that she loves save, including sacrificing herself. She knows how selfish she’s being when she makes this choice, forcing those she cares about to live without her, but Emma believes in the greater good.

● weaknesses: One of Emma's greatest weaknesses is her feelings of abandonment. Emma was a baby who was left on the side of the road and grew up in foster care. She was left by the one person that was sent to protect her making Emma grew up thinking that no one wanted her or loved her. Her abandonment issues fed into the wariness that enveloped her like a warm comfortable blanket. "I had it, back when I was in the foster system. Just a lost little girl, who didn't matter, and didn't think she ever would. A little girl, who cried herself to sleep at night 'cause... she wanted her parents so bad. And could never understand... why they gave her up." Emma's quote from season three sums up exactly why she feels abandoned and unloved, and what a disservice those feelings did for her. She has a difficult time opening herself up and trusting others. Emma’s fairly tail story is based off the ugly duckling who is constantly looking for her family and the place that she belongs.

She is stubborn. Going as far as to believe that she is a lost girl and doesn't deserve to be loved. She doesn’t bend on her views and will stick to them even when she’s wrong. Due to this trait, it takes her a lot longer to be steered towards the right path.

Emma is also a little childish at times. She eats like a kid, preferring hot chocolate and grilled cheese if it’s available. She takes care of herself but there is a limit and disadvantage to things because she hadn’t grown up with a traditional family. She can’t cook and, at times, she has trouble getting along with others.
● job skills (optional): She can track things using magic or otherwise. She is also pretty good at protecting people
● housing (optional): no preference
