Emma Swan is my favorite character in anything ever. Watching her character grace my TV and computer screen these past six seasons has been an absolute delight. Her character growth from a sad, cyncial, and lonley duckling to a swan whose is confident in herself and her relationships is one of the best I have ever seen. I think one of the reasons I love her so much is because I see myself in her. Some people (a certain section of the fandom) have argued that Emma's character development has ruined her, but that doesn't make any sense. In what ways are opening yourself up to love and the possibilty of a happy ending worse than being closed off from the world and cynical? I rewatch the entire show every year between seasons and I am always amzed at how much Emma has grown as a person. There have been many versions of Emma Swan and I have loved them all, but the current version is my absolute favorite.
