Okay, so we know Emma Swan is departing the show. I wanted to give her a specific thread for everyone to share all the positive thoughts about this amazing character, what she give to you and how she had an impact on you.

Personally, she was the reason I fell in love with the show in the first place. Seeing her in the pilot, with that dress and her attitude made me love her already. And when she arrived in Storybrooke and her journey began, I was on board with her. However, the quote "People are going to tell you who you are your whole life, you just have to punch back and say: no, this is who I am" was the point I knew she was my favorite character. And that's because I saw so much on myself in her: the feeling of loneliness, builind walls around to protect me, made me all indentify with her. And seeing her journey as the ugly duckling who didn't know her place in the work becoming the Savior, with a family around her, was the greatest gift. And even when I drifted from her (with the romantic storyline ruining part of her, but that's another story) and started to obsess over other characters, I still have a soft spot for her, and I still look up to her and her journey. So yeah, I wanted to share my story and listen yours, about your experience with the protagonist of the show which at some point we all loved.
