** Some readers think Emma's insistence on ignoring Harriet's rank would be admirable in any context but the absurdly class-conscious society of Regency England, but this still misses the main point of what Emma is doing. Emma insists that Harriet has a right to find a worthy husband and "low birth" should not deprive her of opportunity, but this is because she is making the unfounded assumption that Harriet's father is of high enough social rank that Harriet's illegitimacy can be ''overlooked.'' Mr. Knightley's objection is not to Harriet's low social station, but to Emma encouraging false hope in a girl who isn't bright enough to see sense and derailing a perfectly reasonable match with a respectable yeoman farmer.

** It's eventually revealed that Mr. Knightley has been in love with Emma since she was ''thirteen''... at which time he was twenty-nine! Though he says it in a tongue-in-cheek-y way. In modern times, where women are much more free to decide how to live their lives, a man Knightley's age marrying a woman Emma's age (even without having known her from childhood) is often seen as suspect because it can indicate that he wants someone without life experience to recognize bad behavior in a partner.

* ArcFatigue: Emmalina had this before even getting her redebut. The promos went on for several months, including several weeks after she was hyped as appearing "next week", leading everyone to just want them to get the hell on with it.
* AuthorsSavingThrow: Emma got arrested for 'stealing' (in reality, she was using a self-scanner and forgot to scan an iPod case, and the store needed to meet a quota, so she got arrested) and ended up being fired. The fans went berserk, with quite a few questioning why Emma got fired when people like Wrestling/{{Cameron}} (who got arrested for a DUI, lied about where she worked and tried to bribe a cop) and Wrestling/JackSwagger (who got busted with marijuana) were still on the roster. She was subsequently rehired within two hours. It probably helped that (A) she's the only Australian on the WWE roster and the company was touring there just over a month later (with Emma being featured prominently), and (B) the questions fans were asking could've gotten into the eyes of TMZ, which would not have looked good for their brand.
* BadassDecay: It's not her fault, though. It's pretty much impossible to find a fan who liked that she was paired with Santino. A huge number of fans wanted Emma to go solo.
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Her new character of Emmalina hadn't even ''debuted'' before already getting many, many detractors. It didn't help that the vignettes being played for it made it clear that instead of her old character, she was instead having a modeling gimmick of some sorts. Some people dreaded it, while others pointed out that heel Emma essentially had no gimmick and the Emmalina thing could give her a boost. It ended up not happening anyway, as within a minute of debuting Emmalina she declared she was going back to Emma; after several rehearsals, WWE finally axed the gimmick, since they felt she couldn't pull it off right.
* ComedyGhetto: Avoided it on NXT as, although she had a comedy gimmick, she was still pushed as a (somewhat) serious wrestler and title contender. But she ended up falling into it on the main roster, mainly due to {{Flanderisation}} so that she became a one-note punchline and was not taken seriously at all.

Once she was given a slight makeover (going from brown to blonde, adopting catchier ring gear) and brushing up on her skills, she was held in higher regard.
* HilariousInHindsight: During her 2016 feud with Wrestling/BeckyLynch, Emma constantly berates her for being an {{Adorkable}} GirlNextDoor, stating that it will lead her nowhere much like what happened to Emma herself. While it seemed to be an example of HarsherInHindsight at first due to Becky becoming OutOfFocus for almost two years following her dropping of the [=SmackDown=] Women's Championship, this trope came into play when Becky revitalized her career by donning a DarkerAndEdgier gimmick not unlike Emma's, but as a result got herself significantly more popular than she's ever been.

** On a slightly more positive side, her being the one taking the pin during the infamous TagTeam SquashMatch (where she teamed with Wrestling/{{Paige}}) that directly led to the [=#GiveDivasAChance=] movement which revitalized Women's wrestling in WWE.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Arguably after she debuted on the main roster. Apparently the idea behind her being teamed up with Santino was that since he's a ditzy comedic face and she's a ditzy comedic face, they'd make a good team... except that hardly any of the fans agreed, because on the one hand, Emma by herself is a fan favourite who is quite capable of getting over without assistance; and on the other hand, while it ''might'' have been possible to pair her up with a male superstar in a team that would actually work, Santino is ''definitely'' not that superstar. Nobody liked the resulting team, which resulted in the two of them getting progressively less screen time, which just led to fans getting angrier. In the end, it took Emma getting punished for accidentally shoplifting and Santino retiring from in-ring work for her to finally get to go solo, and returning to NXT as a heel over a year later for her to finally get some momentum back.

* ArcFatigue: Emmalina had this before even getting her redebut. The promos went on for several months, including several weeks after she was hyped as appearing "next week", leading everyone to just want them to get the hell on with it.
* AuthorsSavingThrow: Emma got arrested for 'stealing' (in reality, she was using a self-scanner and forgot to scan an iPod case, and the store needed to meet a quota, so she got arrested) and ended up being fired. The fans went berserk, with quite a few questioning why Emma got fired when people like Wrestling/{{Cameron}} (who got arrested for a DUI, lied about where she worked and tried to bribe a cop) and Wrestling/JackSwagger (who got busted with marijuana) were still on the roster. She was subsequently rehired within two hours. It probably helped that (A) she's the only Australian on the WWE roster and the company was touring there just over a month later (with Emma being featured prominently), and (B) the questions fans were asking could've gotten into the eyes of TMZ, which would not have looked good for their brand.
* BadassDecay: It's not her fault, though. It's pretty much impossible to find a fan who liked that she was paired with Santino. A huge number of fans wanted Emma to go solo.
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Her new character of Emmalina hadn't even ''debuted'' before already getting many, many detractors. It didn't help that the vignettes being played for it made it clear that instead of her old character, she was instead having a modeling gimmick of some sorts. Some people dreaded it, while others pointed out that heel Emma essentially had no gimmick and the Emmalina thing could give her a boost. It ended up not happening anyway, as within a minute of debuting Emmalina she declared she was going back to Emma; after several rehearsals, WWE finally axed the gimmick, since they felt she couldn't pull it off right.
* ComedyGhetto: Avoided it on NXT as, although she had a comedy gimmick, she was still pushed as a (somewhat) serious wrestler and title contender. But she ended up falling into it on the main roster, mainly due to {{Flanderisation}} so that she became a one-note punchline and was not taken seriously at all.
* EarWorm: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P28cY6xPmis That entrance theme...]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Emma is ''really'' popular amongst the fans aware of her work away from the main roster.
* EvilIsSexy: Post-FaceHeelTurn in 2015.
* GrowingTheBeard: Crowd responses to her Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} debut were lukewarm compared to tag team partner Rayna Von Tosh's. Yeah, Tenille Tayla was the bland one. Once she was given a slight makeover (going from brown to blonde, adopting catchier ring gear) and brushing up on her skills, she was held in higher regard.
* HilariousInHindsight: During her 2016 feud with Wrestling/BeckyLynch, Emma constantly berates her for being an {{Adorkable}} GirlNextDoor, stating that it will lead her nowhere much like what happened to Emma herself. While it seemed to be an example of HarsherInHindsight at first due to Becky becoming OutOfFocus for almost two years following her dropping of the [=SmackDown=] Women's Championship, this trope came into play when Becky revitalized her career by donning a DarkerAndEdgier gimmick not unlike Emma's, but as a result got herself significantly more popular than she's ever been.
* LesYay: Quite a lot with Wrestling/{{Paige}}, which often doubled as FoeYay during their time on NXT.
* NarmCharm: The entire point of the dancing gimmick. It was so silly and yet once it got over, it was lots of fun.
* NeverLiveItDown: Her Wrestling/{{WWE}} run was not smooth, to say the least.
** The Shop-lifting fiasco mentioned above.
** Her quirky dance as a {{Face}}.
** She got the dubious honor of being known as the first NXT call-up to be sent back there. The fact that she had to acknowledge it on-screen basically added insult to injury.
** The botched "Emmalina" gimmick, specifically the ArcFatigue surrounding its build-up that ultimately went nowhere.
** On a slightly more positive side, her being the one taking the pin during the infamous TagTeam SquashMatch (where she teamed with Wrestling/{{Paige}}) that directly led to the [=#GiveDivasAChance=] movement which revitalized Women's wrestling in WWE.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Arguably after she debuted on the main roster. Apparently the idea behind her being teamed up with Santino was that since he's a ditzy comedic face and she's a ditzy comedic face, they'd make a good team... except that hardly any of the fans agreed, because on the one hand, Emma by herself is a fan favourite who is quite capable of getting over without assistance; and on the other hand, while it ''might'' have been possible to pair her up with a male superstar in a team that would actually work, Santino is ''definitely'' not that superstar. Nobody liked the resulting team, which resulted in the two of them getting progressively less screen time, which just led to fans getting angrier. In the end, it took Emma getting punished for accidentally shoplifting and Santino retiring from in-ring work for her to finally get to go solo, and returning to NXT as a heel over a year later for her to finally get some momentum back.

* ValuesDissonance: Emma's ignorance of Harriet's rank and insistence that the circumstances of Harriet's birth should not deprive her of the same respect and opportunities open to richer, less-tender-hearted women is portrayed as a bad thing. [[note]] In at least one adaptation, Emma lets her imagination run wild and assumes that Harriet's mysterious father is a member of the royal family! This is why she thinks Harriet is suitable for Mr. Elton - not because rank doesn't matter, but because she's imagined a much more illustrious background for Harriet than is plausible. (Mr. Elton would realize that no royal bastard would be enrolled in a school designed to turn out governesses and ladies' maids, but Emma doesn't.)[[/note]]
** More an 'unrealistic given the circumstances' thing. Also in-universe Values Dissonance where Harriet's obscurity isn't a problem to Emma but she considers association with Robert Martin demeaning. And another in-universe example in the great respect Miss Taylor/Mrs. Weston garners as a governess versus everyone being very sad about poor Jane having to become a governess.
*** That has more do with situation. Miss Taylor/Mrs. Weston lucked out as a governess, getting a good rich family that treated her like a member of the family and loving kids THEN marriage. Marriage is highly unlikely for a governess, which is the only way OUT of being a governess. If Miss Taylor was less beloved she would have been shipped out when Emma was sixteen. You get hints of this with Mrs. Elton being very snide about Mrs. Weston because of her background.
** Knightley's objection is probably because it's not fair to delude the rather simple-minded Harriet into believing that she doesn't have a problem... in fact, more to the point, to do so while derailing her marriage to a yeoman with whom she would have been perfectly happy. (Even to the yeomanry it would have mattered, albeit not as much- Robert is still a catch, even if he does get his hands dirty.)
** For a completely different example of ValuesDissonance, it's eventually revealed that Mr. Knightley has been in love with Emma since she was ''thirteen''...at which time he was twenty-nine!
** The book's portrayal of "gipsies" is very wince-inducing now. Not only is that term used freely, but they only randomly show up once as a threat for Frank to save Harriet from, and are portrayed as a faceless AlwaysChaoticEvil group.
