Hello. I'm Emily, the creator of this wiki and the author of the Crystal Covell series.

Any questions? Contact me on my Message Wall.

I do not answer questions about upcoming chapters, but I give very slight spoilers.

Anyway, I am 17 years old, I live in Connecticut, and my name is obviously Emily. I first created Crystal Covell in 2005, when I was 7. I created Malibu, Tanisha, Jasmine, Michael, and Tina in 2011, when I was 12. I began handwriting the story on December 12, 2011 (My 13th birthday). As of now, I am finished with the series.

Current book progress
Crystal: Defending My Title is finished.

Crystal Covell's Story is very rushed, lacks character development, and tries to do too much in too little time. You know why that happened? I was trying to limit myself to using only 1 1/2 pages per chapter.

I am currently finished with Crystal's College Years, and I find it to be much better than the previous book. I learned from the mistakes I made in the first book, and that probably contributed to why this one was better.

As for Crystal: Who I Really Am, that one is no longer going to happen. I want to move onto other projects, so the plot book will just be tacked onto the end of the third one, though I will alter a few things so it fits a bit better with the storyline.

My Character List (from favorite to least favorite)

 * 1) Crystal
 * 2) *She's just like me, except I'm not a skater, and she's the main character, so I'm kind of attached to her. I love how she really does have a complex personality. It's a mix of tomboy, overconfidence, insecurity, mean, nice, persistent, rebellious, and so many other things. Crystal is an amazing character.
 * 3) Melissa
 * 4) *Melissa...honestly, I love her! I love the friendship she has with Crystal, even though they're not really alike at all! Other than that, Melissa's a lot of fun to write. I originally didn't care for her much in CCS, but when I decided to put her in CCY and explore her character a little more, that's when I really grew attached to her. Had I not put her in CCY, she would have just been a throwaway characer
 * 5) Tanisha
 * 6) *Tanisha is a lot of fun. I like how she broke away from Malibu's Clique to befriend Crystal. Tanisha is a strong-headed and independent girl.  She could really be a role model for some people. I love her because she's a lot of fun, and not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
 * 7) Michael
 * 8) *At first, he was much, much lower on my list. Ever since I put in some devlopment for him in the second book, I've been liking him more. I'm excited to write the third book, with the huge subplot of "Will Crystal and Michael stay together or will they realize it's not working and break up?" I already know the answer. But yeah, Michael is pretty cool.
 * 9) Sabrina
 * 10) *Sabrina is a very interesting antagonist. It can also be funny to watch her drama queen side come out (Crystal bumping into her, her getting mad). Though I can't stand things like that in real life, Sabrina is a  good antagonist. Manipulative, a liar, and overall devious. Awesome antagonist.
 * 11) Tina
 * 12) *Tina is really fun. I kind of liked her over-clingy obsessiveness in the first book, although I can't stand clingy people in real life. Still, it was fun and a little sad to see Crystal break off their friendship. Although, I like how they reconcile at the end and Tina stops becoming clingy and becomes more normal.
 * 13) Chrissy
 * 14) *She's just kind of a plain character, but I don't hate her. I love how she is the more diplomatic one of Sabrina's Group. Other than that, she doesn't really do much.
 * 15) Jessica
 * 16) *Yep, Jessica is my least favorite of Sabrina's Group. I don't even know why. She doesn't draw me in like the other two do. She's the least developed of the three, and I guess that's why I'm not really drawn to her.
 * 17) Jasmine
 * 18) *Boring, lacks character development, the whole 9 yards. I wanted her to be featured more often, but I blame myself for being unable to do it. I'm glad I'm using her again in Defending My Title, because she and Malibu need more development. Although the one reason I rank her higher than Malibu: The fact that she agrees with Malibu on everything is hilarious. Although I can't stand that in real life.
 * 19) Malibu
 * 20) *Basically, for the same reasons as Jasmine, except I find her a little less interesting and a more cliche antagonist. She's the prissy, blonde mean girl. Been there done that. Like Jasmine, I'm glad she's returning for Defending My Title, because they need the character development.
 * 21) Andrew
 * 22) *A one chapter appearance and then hardly ever mentioned again. He's boring, but slightly more interesting than Jamie. Although I do like how he wants to know everything that was going on in Crystal's life when she returns to New Jersey.
 * 23) Jamie
 * 24) *She was a very boring character. Her personality wasn't explored at all.
 * 25) Eric
 * 26) *Do I even need to explain? Boring, cliche, lacking character development, trying to overshadow Crystal.
