Emma's Bio
Age: Early 30s
Occupation: McKinley High guidance counselor
Talents: Fangirling, helping others
Strengths: Giving advice
Other: A girl who knows her solvents

Emma is a guidance counselor at McKinley High. Sweet-natured and kind, she is always there to give advice to those who need it - teachers and students alike. She is also mysophobic. When she was little, she visited a dairy farm with her family. During a yogurt-tasting session, her brother pushed her into the runoff lagoon and could not forget the stench of the experience - thus leading to her fear of germs (though she does let Will touch her)
Emma has a secret crush on Will and acts as a motherly figure to the Gleeks (she is considered to be their friend and biggest fan). She was engaged for a time to school football coach Ken Tanaka (a scheme by Terri to keep her away from Will) so she wouldn't be lonely, but it was broken off when she chose taking the kids to their first sectionals competition over their wedding. She and Will shared a kiss in the end just as his marriage was falling apart, showing that she is Will's true center and that she really cares about him. Married for four months to dentist Carl Howell, the marriage is annuled when she finally comes to the realization that she still loves Will, and as of now the two are in a steady relationship with a promise from Will that he will always love her
