Editing Emma Barnes (section)

=== Taylor Hebert ===
She was [[Taylor Hebert]]'s best friend<ref name="1.1" />from grade one all the way through middle school<ref name="1.2" />. They alternated staying at each other's houses every weekend<ref name="1.2">[[Gestation 1.2]]</ref>. Alongside the Trio, she bullied Taylor mercilessly since the first day of high school<ref name="1.1" />.

As Taylor's life as a cape progressed, she felt herself grow increasingly indifferent and annoyed towards Emma and her shenanigans against her. Taylor contemplated attacking Emma at times, coming dangerously close to doing so when Emma attempted to bully her at Arcadia and used her mother to insult her. On that same day, Taylor took some pleasure in scaring Emma during the standoff with the heroes at Arcadia, using her to make a point to the heroes that they couldn't be entirely confident that she wouldn't hurt anyone. At the later stages of the standoff, Taylor looked upon the fearful Emma in the crowd, finding her pathetic and feeling offended by her mere presence. Taylor also contemplated killing Emma as well, before the heroes attempted to overtake her.

During Gold Morning, Taylor was surprised that Emma had died but wasn't very fazed by it. When Taylor came across the Barnes family in a refugee camp, she realized from the looks she was receiving from Emma's father and sister that they were placing blame on her for Emma's death. However, Taylor found this behavior to be very absurd, being under no such delusions that Emma's immediate safety was her responsibility more than it was theirs. She wondered why they were able to escape the destruction and Emma had not, then concluded that the Barnes family had most likely left Emma behind in order to save themselves. Refusing to humor the Barnes' belief in her being at fault for Emma's death, Taylor left without sparing a word.
