Emma Westmore is a chracter in the Ella's Storm Saga, having a minor role in Ella's Storm, and a main role in Ella's Storm 2. She is the title character, Ella's sister, who became pregnant as a teenager without her own willingness, and struggles with the problems of being a teenager, while raising her infant daughter, Olive. She is determined to prove she isn't just a screw up, and prove herself to the world, and her parents that she isn't just a statistic.

Early Life
Emma Westmore was born on August 10, 2007, to James Westmore and his wife. She was the second and youngest child of the couple, who had another daughter, Ella, two years prior. Not much is known about Emma's childhood, only that she had a close relationship with her sister until she became a teenager, in which she grew more distant with Ella. They still held a strong sisterly bond. She began trying to find her own identity when she was a freshman in high school, and this led to her getting tangled up with the wrong crowd. This would mean she would literally get tangled up in the bedsheets with Elijah Fox, who forced himself upon her, a secret which she kept for over a year. A month after this incident, she got pregnant with Eli's child, to her horror. She was only fourteen after all, and she held out from her parents, and especially her sister. Ella was a serious Calvinist, and Emma feared being disowned by Ella even if she didn't know the whole truth behind the situation. Eventually, James found the hidden pregnancy test a couple of weeks later, and initially inquired his wife about it. His wife had no idea, and remarked that she had taken no such test recently. They knew Ella was way too puritan to ever even have to worry about such a prospect, even if she was seventeen at the time. So, they went to Emma, who immediately broke down, but didn't reveal the whole truth behind the situation. Her parents were furious, but quickly sensed there was more to the story. Despite attempts to push forward, they realized Emma had no intentions of revealing the exact circumstances, either out of fear, or shame. The couple moved Emma in with James' parents, who were accepting. It was likely that Emma told her grandparents the truth, but withheld this information from James and his wife. Ella was left completely in the dark about her current situation.
