Birthdate: June 20, 1945

Portrayed by: Emmy Rossum

Personality: Emily is like a mother. She grew up too fast due to her father dying and her mother running out on the family, leaving her to take care of her 4 younger siblings (3 brothers and 1 sister) when she was only 13. She has to work five different jobs to keep the family afloat, though luckily two of her younger brothers are now old enough to get jobs. Often, Emily is resentful of her mother for leaving them, and she doesn't like to think about her father dying. She wants to be able to do things for herself for once, and to have a chance to be a kid, having had to become an adult long before she was ready. Until she met Darry, Emily felt there wasn't really anyone who could understand her situation.
