first middle and last name
my name is emmerie grace stone!

birthdate and age
i made my debut to the world on october 30th 1989 and that makes me 25 years old.

occupation
i am a model for one model management out of nyc! i never expected to be a model, though. in fact, it happened by fate i guess because one day a friend of my parents asked me to model for a photoshoot. she loved the pictures, which were for her portfolio, and she sent them to a photographer friend of hers in new york. after that, i got a call from my agency and a few weeks later i was signed to them!

who does your family consist of? how many siblings do you have?
my family consists of my adoptive parents - melissa and jacob stone. then there's my siblings: joel, spencer, and ellie. joel and spencer are my older brothers and then ellie is my younger sister. i was adopted into their family when i was seven years old and ended up staying with them forever. to be honest, i feel really blessed to be in their lives because they're all so amazing and i love them so much.

what kind of pets do you have?
i don't because i don't know when i will have to work. my schedule is a little bit weird right now.

which hawthorn neighborhood do you live in?
i live in a townhome in silvertree hill!

do you live alone?
yes, i do! i prefer living alone because i get to have my privacy and some peace and quiet to come home to.

what is your idea of perfect happiness?
is there even such a thing? after all i've been through, i don't think something like this exists but if i had to guess at what my perfect happiness would be, it would be to be successful and have a family. to be able to balance being a good wife, a parent, and a career woman sounds almost ideal for me. also, to be able to have enough money to provide for my future family and do the things we want to do while living comfortably would be great, too. i guess that's not too far-fetched, right?

what is your relationship like with your parents? if you don't have one, explain.
my relationship with my parents is amazing; if you mean the stones, that is. as for my bio parents, i don't know them and don't wish to know them at all because their part in my life is over now. my second set of adoptive parents are in prison for neglecting me so badly. but my relationship with the stones couldn't be more amazing and i love them, as i said before.

what does your ideal weekend or day off look like?
netflix, lots of sleep, eating take out, and turning off my cellphone. doing those things when i'm home and getting to spend time with family or friends somewhere in between is always great! then there's the fact that i get a lot of time off between photoshoots because i'm not always incredibly busy, so most days are like this?

what do you regret most about your time in high school?
umm, probably my first relationship, because it seems like he only wanted one thing from me and then he left me right after he got it. we dated all of four months, there was a lot of pressure from him, and i wasn't that happy anyway. plus i didn't try to make many friends because i couldn't speak english that well, at the time. i still struggle with it sometimes.

what word or words do you overuse the most?
"umm", "uhh", and "hmm" because i always try to think of the right words to say so those pop in as filler words while i'm trying to find my words.

what fictional character do you most relate to and why?
jo wilson on grey's anatomy. she was passed around from foster home to foster home, ended up homeless, but in the end went on to kick ass in the real world. she's funny, fierce, and successful - i try to think of myself like this. well, i'm not that fierce but i have a good sense of humor and i've worked so hard to get to where i am in my career. even if i didn't think i would like being a model at first, it's turned out to be incredibly fun, and i'm working hard to keep myself in the business. so we have that work ethic about us, too. she also seemed to be afraid to give her heart to just anyone but when she found alex, she didn't have to fear it anymore, and i find tht admirable. hopefully we'll be alike in that sense, too, when i find someone special.
