Emily Young

"Are you the wolf girl?" "I guess I am."

- Bella Swan and Emily

Emily Young is Sam Uley's fianceé, second cousin to Leah Clearwater and Seth Clearwater, and Claire's aunt.

Emily and Leah are second cousins, but they were said to be like sisters. Sam had been dating Leah when he imprinted on Emily, which caused conflict between the two women and ruined their friendship. Emily is like a second mother to the pack as she cooks and cares for them on regular occasions, while being treated like part of the pack in return. Most of her family is close to the pack along with her — Leah and Seth being wolves, while her niece Claire was imprinted on by Quil.

Physical description
She has three long scars on the right hand side of her face, and one long scar reaching down to her arm, which were inflicted by Sam when he lost his temper and changed into a wolf while standing right next to Emily. Everyone was led to believe that the scars are from a bear attack. Emily has black hair and is said to have been beautiful before the scars. According to Jacob, Sam feels pain every time he sees the scars and has never forgiven himself for what he did. She still has beautiful features, though the scars drag them down on one half of her face. She is currently engaged to Sam Uley.

Film portrayal
Emily Young will be played by Tinsel Korey in New Moon.

Etymology
Emily means "to rival". This could refer to Emily and Leah's 'rivalry' over Sam Uley. Emily was also named after Stephenie Meyer's sister.
