Emma plays Anya, ex demon with no conscience who loves Xander's penis. Anya first visited Sunnydale to make whatever Cordelia wished would happen to Xander happen! Cordelia wished that “Buffy Summers had never moved to Sunnydale”…well, that made for an excellent episode (ep.43, ‘The Wish’). After that, Anyanka lost her powers and was, other than what was described above, a normal teenager who can’t even buy a beer...even though she is "...1120 years old...!” She is now Xander’s current...ahem,...orgasm interest.

 Emma was born in the 1970’s in San Diego, CA. After growing up in sunny San Diego, Emma moved into theater as a teenager. Her experience landed her guest starring roles on television shows. She has acted opposite heartthrobs Don Johnson on Nash Bridges and Lorenzo Lamas on Renegade. Her favorite role, however, was as Nurse Penny Brady on Saved By The Bell: The College Years. She enjoyed acting in front of the live studio audience because it reminded her most of stage performance.

Emma's breakthrough was her recurring character in the 1995-96 season of Beverly Hills 90210 as Brandon's love interest, Susan Keats. This exposure landed her the role of Anyanka. While Emma loves working on Buffy, she has a cynical attitude towards her career. "I don't know that I want to act 15 years from now. I mean, I love the process of acting, but not the masochism." Having already earned a degree in Psychology, she won't have to worry about making a living fifteen years from now no matter what her occupation.
