Personality & AppearanceEdit

PersonalityEdit

Emma is described as a friendly bookworm who wants to be a writer when she grows up. She is one of the newspaper editors, and in Pies & Prejudice, she writes a short fairytale which was inspired by her enemy of the book, Annabelle Fairfax, or Stinkerbelle, as Emma and her friends call her. She is likeable, nice and honest, and is usually the positive one of the group. She used to be bullied by Becca in the first books, and since then, can't stand up to them, until the fourth book. She happens to have a little bit of romance in books 3-7.

AppearanceEdit

Emma has curly, short brown hair, which she grows out in book 4, when she is in England, brown eyes, and wears purple glasses, purple being her favorite color. In Dear Pen Pal, it is mentioned that she will get contact lenses, but in the fourth book, she still wears glasses. In The Mother Daughter Book Club, she used to be overweight, but she lost weight in Much Ado About Anne by entering figure skating classes when she got tired of Becca's bullying. She is average height. She loves to read mainly because that her mom is a librarian.

FriendsEdit

Emma's best friend has been Jess Delaney, since kindergarten, but she is also friends with Cassidy, Megan and, in the last two books, Becca. She used to have a crush on Zach Norton, and wrote a poem about him called Zach Attack in the first book. In the same book, Becca steals her journal, and reads the poem out loud in front of Zach and his friends. In the second book, she and Zach are now friends, and she develops a crush on Stewart Chadwick, Becca's brother, who at the end of Much Ado About Anne develops a relationship with her, which soon grows. In Pies and Prejudice, she moves to England for a year, were she meets Lucy and Rupert, who has a crush on her, but later switches to Lucy. She becomes enemies with Annabele Fairfax (Stinkerbelle), and they play mean pranks at each other throughout the book. One of them is when Annabelle makes Rupert stand under a mistletoe with Emma, forcing them to kiss. Annabelle snaps a picture about them, sends it to Stewart (who later finds out the truth about the kiss, and forgives Emma), and posts posters of the kiss all over Emma's new school. When Annabelle, Emma and Darcy come to visit, Megan takes a picture of Annabelle wearing ugly clothes, posts it on her blog and send it to Flashlite, a magazine where Wolfgang works. Annabelle finds out, telling everybody the identity of Fashionista Jane, which causes Megan to delete the blog. Annabelle and Emma are still enemies by the end of the book, so Emma sends the story of Stinkerbelle to a short fairytales book, and it gets published. Emma also develops a friendship in the third book with Eva Bergson, hers and Cassidy's coach. In the same book, Eva joins the book club thanks to Emma, and befriends all the girls. She adopts Pip when she sees that none of the girls can keep him, and lets Emma have it as hers. Eva dies in the fourth book, and leaves money for the girls to go and visit Emma in England. 

Family Edit

Emma's mother is the one who came up with the idea of the Book Club, and always hands out folders in every meeting with facts about the author whose book they are reading. In the fourth book, Emma's parents house-swap with an English family, and Emma and her older brother, Darcy, move to England for a year with their parents. The Hawthornes recieved a kitten from the Delaney's in book 6, whom they named Lady Jane Grey, after a character in the Betsy Tacy series. The Hawthorne's presently have 2 pets, Lady Jane Grey and Pip, a little golden lab who came into the series in book 3. Melville, the Hawthorne's old cat, passed in between books 4 and 5. Emma quotes that her mother says not to be sad about Melville, and that he lived a long, wonderful life, but that Mrs. Hawthorne seemed to miss Melville the most.
