Emma

Emma operates as a minor, on‑the‑ground White House staff presence observed in the West Wing bullpen. She exchanges curt, polite greetings with Leo McGarry and passes through the office rhythms without drawing attention. Her appearances register as a connective thread among junior aides—sharing space and brief courtesies with Bonnie, Josh, Mike, Donna, and Leo—serving story needs for background workplace texture and interpersonal realism rather than as a decisionmaker or plot driver. Emma embodies the everyday staff hum that grounds senior characters’ action.
