'There were times where I was going through such a hard time, and the only thing that would bring me comfort was something that I was into.'
's Newark show in early 2020, her favorite concert ever, and she's had it in her phone case ever since. "I've never taken it out," Emma tellsYou can learn a lot about someone through the ways in which they love something. For Emma, it's effusive and all-consuming, forever expanding like ink in water. "I don't understand people who are sort of casual about something," the 20-year-old says.
"I was kind of an outsider because I was into things more than the normal kid would be," she recalls. "And I got bullied for it." Now, years later and armed with the wisdom you only know through experience, she can see it all a bit more clearly: "Some people can't let go of the fact that people enjoy things that make them happy."
Emma never had a traditional school experience in her hometown of Orlando, Florida. She was part of a homeschool co-op, so opportunities to interact with her peers were limited. "I didn't have a lot of social skills growing up," she says. "And being a nerd, or whatever, pushed me further out." It's something Enid could likely relate to. She's a bit of a late bloomer among her pack, having yet to wolf out under a full moon.
Emma does, however, consider herself to be an optimist like Enid, a mindset she adopted through years of fantasy stories where the good guy prevails in the end — heroes like Frodo Baggins, who inspired her to take acting more seriously. A self-described community theater kid, Emma was booking steady commercial work and voice acting roles as a child actor in Orlando.
