A close friend of the twins, Lia Haskins says, “Hannah is athletic and funny and Emma loves band. Hannah is my best friend. I’ve had more classes with her and we became close friends when I moved here. Emma is my friend and I speak with her often.”
Hannah enjoys sports while Emma enjoys academics more. Emma is more straightforward, while Hannah is friendlier. Hannah is blond and taller, while Emma is brunette and shorter. Even though they have many differences they are very supportive of each other, they can always make each other laugh and they have an unbreakable bond.
“Having a twin is like having a little person on your shoulder who is always talking to you. They can be annoying at times, but you know they always have your back,” said Emma.
