Who is Emma Winchester, the only daughter of Dean Winchester in Supernatural?
Emma Winchester, the only daughter of Dean Winchester in Supernatural was born out of a romantic rendezvous with a woman named Lydia. Emma was born into the Amazonian race owing to which she was destined and trained to kill her father as part of a ritual. However, she was one of the few people who refused to follow suit with the traditions and went against killing her father.
Emma was no normal child. Only a day after Lydia became pregnant she was already in her ninth month of pregnancy. Following her birth, Emma was welcomed with full Amazonian traditions and was trained according to the Amazonian laws of the land.

How was Emma Winchester killed in Supernatural?
In season 7 epidose13, to get ritualistically indoctrinated into the Amazonian culture Emma had to kill her father Dean Winchester. Not only that, she also had to kill Sam Winchester, Dean's brother and partner in crime. This was required because the Winchester brothers were considered a threat to the people belonging to the Amazon race.
Having said that, although Emma was willing to adopt all the other aspects of the Amazonian life, she was not willing to kill his father, at least not consciously. Therefore when the chance came, she came clean to her father and confessed that she did not intend to kill him but could not help it as it was in her nature.
Dean understood Emma's situation but was soon proven wrong about her innocence when she attempted to harm him with a dagger.
