Emily to Hanna

History

Hanna and Emily have a tight relationship and a lot in common. This may be because out of the four girls, Hanna and Emly were the ones who Ali tormented and mocked the most. They always support each other and care about each other. Hanna was one of the first people to find out about Emily's sexuality and has always supported her. When Emily was hiding that she liked Maya, Hanna told Maya that Emily would've been happy if she went to Homecoming. She also doesn't judge her when she finds out about the kiss. When Hanna got hit by a car, Emily called 911 and told them about the accident. 

Emily lived with Hanna during Season 2 which made their bond even stronger. Hanna also worries about Emily because when Paige was an "A" suspect, she did everything she could to try and keep Emily safe. After Caleb got shot, Emily ran to Hanna and comforted her. They trust each other a lot. They share similar personality traits.

For example, both of them would do anything in order to protect their loved ones. They both speak their minds and express what they think. Hanna and Emily spend a lot of time together and they comfort each other whenever something's wrong. Hanna and Emily support each other and always help each other. They are both willing to do dangerous things in order to solve mysteries. For example, in season 3, they went to Noel Kahn's cabin to find out about Maya which led them to getting trapped in the cabin and later, Hanna cut her leg. This proves that they are willing to do anything in order to find out about necessary things.
