Emily Catherine Fields is a fictional character created in 2006 by author Sara Shepard. She is a character in both Pretty Little Liars' books and television series, and initially appears as a "jock girl" and one of the main protagonists of the story. She is part of the group known as the Liars; and is best friends with the four other members, who are also protagonists. Emily is known for her description and shyness, as well as for being part of a conservative family, the Fields.
Emily's characteristics and stories have the same methodology in both books and television. However, there are some perceptual differences between the two versions, since the television series usually didn't follow the books' scripts. For example, Emily's parents on the screen have different names from the books; and, in the books, she has siblings, while in the television series, she doesn't. Another noticeable difference between the two versions is the physical and psychological characteristics. The character is portrayed by Shay Mitchell in the television series.
For her portrayal, Mitchell was nominated twice for a Teen Choice Award, once for a People's Choice Award, and shared a nomination for an MTV Fandom Award with Sasha Pieterse for Ship of the Year.
