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 his wolf form - Emily was standing right next to him at the time. Everyone was led to believe that the scars were 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. She still has beautiful features, though the scars drag them down on one half of her face.
******* Etymology**********
Emily means "to rival". This could refer Emily's and Leah's 'rivalry' over Sam Uley.
