Emma Geller-Green

Emma Sandra Geller-Green is daughter of Rachel Geller and Dr. Ross Geller and one of the 6 main characters in the show.

Early Life
Emma was born on April 4, 2002, after 47 hours and 27 minutes of labor, to Ross and Rachel. (In most cases, a baby in her situation would have been born via emergency C-section). She was born in The One Where Rachel Has A Baby, Part 2. She was born breech (buttocks first)

Emma is the result of a one-night stand, as shown in The One With The Videotape. Ross and Rachel move in together during her pregnancy so Ross could be more involved with the baby and be there for Rachel. After Emma's birth, they all live together until the season 9 episode "The One Where Monica Sings". Ross and Rachel get into a fight, realizing their living arrangement isn't working anymore, and Rachel and Emma move in with Joey.

In the series finale of Friends, Rachel and Ross get back together, bringing them closer to becoming a happy family. Early in her life, Emma seemed to enjoy the song "Baby got Back", which was the only way her parents could get her to laugh in her early stages. Later on, Emma also enjoyed going on swings. Plus at thanksgiving Emma is entered in a baby beauty pageant and wins. Rachel then pretends she went to a spelling bee and won.

As a child Emma lived with her mother in her aunt Monica's apartment after Rachel rented the apartment because she thought it would look weird with new people living across the street. Every day she used to go to Joey's apartment to see Joey Jr to play and see her uncle Joey and aunt Faith.

Family
Emma's parents are Rachel Green and Ross Geller. She has two aunts on her mothers' side, Aunt Jill and Aunt Amy. On her fathers' side, she has her Aunt Monica and her Uncle Chandler (Chandler is related to her via marriage). Emma's grandparents are Sandra and Leonard Green (divorced) and Judy and Jack Geller. Emma has a half brother, Ben, with whom she shares a father. Ben's mother is Ross's first wife, Carol (who split with Ross because she was a lesbian). Emma also has an Aunt Phoebe and an Uncle Joey, but they are both not related to her in any way. Her cousins are Jack and Erica Geller-Bing, twin son and daughter of their aunt and uncle, Chandler and Monica. Their first daughter was supposed to be named 'Emma', but Monica gave the name to Rachel after baby Emma was born. Monica and Chandler named their own daughter Erica after the twins' biological mother, (as they are adopted) and their son after Jack, Monica and Ross's father.

Name
Emma was the name Monica was going to chose for her daughter but let Rachel name her daughter Emma. Before her birth her name was disccused several times such as, "Delilah", "Isabella" and "Ruth". Her name is also commonly misspronouced by Rachel's sister, Amy whom calls her "Emmett" and "Ella". Ross stated once that he would like to name his daughter Emily, but it never happened, likely due to 4 years before Emma was born when her father married a British woman and at the wedding he said Emma's mother's name and then a divorce occurred.

Personality
Emma is kind, forgetful, clumsy and can be ditsy at times. She takes after her mother a lot, being headstrong and a pushover and ,at times, is very skilled at lying. She is actually very smart on certain subjects which often makes her father, Ross, very proud of her. Emma is shown with a passion for music and loves singing and can play the piano very well.

Parents
Ross and Rachel loved their daughter very much. They were always protective of her and always made sure she was looked after correctly.

Extended family and friends
Through Emma's family on her father's side, she has her grandparents Jack and Judy, Aunt Monica (related by blood), Uncle Chandler (related by marriage; Monica's husband) (2 of the main characters), half-brother Ben Geller, and her cousins Jack and Erica. Jack was fond of Emma, as well as Judy obviously was. Monica loved Emma very much, especially since she was the daughter of her best friend and brother (something she deeply desired) and Chandler also loved her: They even got along very well together and even babysat her one night and would even be her guardians if Ross and Rachel died (Although Chandler had to prove himself as an independent authority figure when he learned that he would initially only get Emma if Monica was alive). Her relationship with her half-brother and cousins is unknown, but it's likely it would later turn out be a loving one.

Through Emma's family on her mother's side, she has her grandparents Leonard and Sandra, Aunt Jill (related by blood) and Aunt Amy (related by blood) (2 of the main characters). Leonard may not have been too fond of her because of her being illegitimate, while Sandra obviously loved her and usually babysat her. Jill was likely fond of her niece, while Amy on the other hand was obviously very not.

Physical appearance
Emma has fair skin and gray eyes. Like her mother Emma is the one with the most hair styles. In episode 1 she has blonde hair tied up in a messy bun; she was not born blonde but in fact is a brunette, and for the rest of the season it is fading back to brown and held in a ponytail most of the time. In season 2 she is blonde again with medium-length hair at the end she cuts it short as a bet she lost to Erica. In season 3 it has grown again and is fading again.

Trivia

 * Emma's favorite song is Baby Got Back. It makes her laugh. Her parents are seen singing it to her by the other friends; It still is her favourite song.
 * In one episode, Amy gets Emma's ears pierced while babysitting, much to both Rachel and Ross's horror, since she did not inform them about her plan.
