"i'm emily elizabeth, like the little girl from clifford even though i'm pretty sure i was born before that show was on. just call me emily, though. most people know me by my maiden name as emily de franco, but ever since i got married to ethan i've taken his name just like wives do. so while i drop my own name in formality (and i mean hey it's good because saying my whole name is a mouthful), my last name is officially de franco-mitchell. same person, anyway! i'm twenty-four and i currently handle all the public relations for relapse records." "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." "aw, putting me on the spot? well, i am very humble for sure - i hate talking about myself because i'm afraid if i say something incorrectly t'll make me sound like i'm one of those people who give themselves too much credit or something. but really, i'm a sweet person. i'm like, the person who grounds other people. like in the sense that i'm the complement to another person's hyperactivity with my easygoing nature. you could almost count me as an older sister type of person, or motherly at that. i was always told that i had that trait from the beginning, haha. i'm very very kind and understanding, and my compassion for people and life makes me feel good, because i believe if i'm able to make someone happy with even a simple gesture, then that makes all the difference in anyone's day. i don't believe in hate and i don't understand it, either - having been the girlfriend of a guy that fans dream of, i've gotten my share of nasty comments and the like, but i never let it phase me anymore. i always try to get to know someone before passing judgements, and basically the whole give and recieve idea is something i try to live by. happiness is what makes the world go round, and i like to stay positive every day. i work hard and i'm super focused on anything that i'm doing. ask ethan, poor guy - i wasn't able to go on tour with him a lot of the time because i wanted to finish college, so while that was a huge emotional sacrifice, i still had to keep myself level-headed. i'm non-confrontational and arguments between anyone make me upset, so i am the one who will always try to be the peacemaker. the way i live life is to take it easy and enjoy it, and i believe in fate. after all, it's given me a husband and a family." "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" "just like ethan and travis, i grew up in delaware. same town, same street, same schools, same friends. my parents, more specifically my father, was very protective of me when i was growing up - you know, he was a typical italian father, being all intimidating and stuff, but i am a daddy's girl so i knew he would be that way forever, no matter how old i got. my mother is my best friend, and i have an older brother and a younger sister. my friends are my second family, we're tight knit and in that circle it showed me the love of my life. you might think it's cliche but really, ethan is all of my history; past, present, and future. i wouldn't have thought that the boy who used to throw dirt at me and annoy me all the time when we were five would be the man i married, but well, that's ethan and throughout our lives we've grown up to understand, love, and mold with each other. there were a couple rough spots during and after high school - an abortion when i was sixteen, a breakup, getting back together, breaking up again, fighting over distances...we've probably had it all, but we've loved each other from the start and we've only grown stronger (or i mean, i have, but he's probably gotten more immature, haha). he's been there for me through everything and i have hoped i've done the same for him. two years ago everything fell into place more. i finished college and got my business degree, and i was free to do what i wanted and be wherever i could be with ethan. he and i solidified our future - i got pregnant, we had a son and got married, and i couldn't be happier. and that's where the rest of the story is being written now." "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" "waking up, taking care of my boys, and getting myself ready is my morning. i mean, my first job is a mother and a wife, but luckily doing public relations work makes my schedule so flexible and i get everything done ahead of time so i'm usually free. i always have lunch with ethan when we're both in the offices, and actually it's nice to boss him around a little bit in the workplace in addition to at home, haha, since he does have to respond to me with skyshot-related things when travis is busy. but yeah, after all work's done, i just have time to myself or with my family and friends." "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" "like i said, i'm very driven. i grew up with a work ethic instilled into my brain by my parents and that's brought me through college and to where i am today. i know a lot of people would like to think that i get where i am because of ethan, but i am my own person independent of him, i always have been, and i earn my positions. as for the future, it looks pretty bright. i love doing PR and it gives me a chance to put what i've learned through college to use, so i'm content with my job. personal-wise, i've been getting big hints from ethan about another baby. i told him as long as he doesn't steal my birth control and pretend to eat it like candy or feed it to the dog, i'll think about it, haha." "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" "i don't know why ethan's twitter name is travis' name. it's really confusing for me, too." hey there, the name's steph. i live in the eastern time zone and this is my second character.
