Early life
Emma Elizabeth Myers[1] was born on April 2, 2002,[2] in Orlando, Florida. A child of two lawyers, she is the second of four sisters, all of whom attended a homeschool cooperative. Initially wanting to be a dancer, she first showed interest in acting at age 5, after having accompanied her older sister to auditions. As a self-described introvert, she has said that finding a sense of community in her homeschool environment was difficult, though this was alleviated by her involvement in extracurricular activities such as dancing and local theater. At age 12, she took a hiatus from acting, during which she pivoted her focus to competitive dance. When she was 16, she and her family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where she began to pursue acting more seriously.[3][4]
In her youth, Myers became a fan of the emo and alternative bands Twenty One Pilots, Panic! at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy, as well as YouTube creators Dan and Phil. She was also part of online fandoms for the Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings franchises, both of which inspired her love for fantasy.[3][5]
