Plot

Introduction Arc

Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food and having a good time – Emma went through the same routine everyday in Grace Field, an orphanage where she lived since the day she was born. Under the loving care of Isabella, who she refers to as "Mom", and the companionship of Norman, Ray and the other orphans, Emma spents a pleasant childhood in Grace Field.

Emma and Norman upon seeing Conny's corpse.

When the day came for Conny to be sent off to foster parents, Emma and the other orphans gave a tearful goodbye as they bade farewell to the child. Some time after Conny left with Isabella, Emma found Conny's beloved stuffed toy on a tabletop in the house. Wanting to return it to Conny, Emma proceeded to the gates of Grace Field to search for the girl under Norman's company. Instead of finding Conny, Emma and Norman found Conny's corpse within a truck instead, as they stared in pure horror upon seeing their friend dead. The two later hid under the truck as they witness two demons inserting Conny's dead body into a jar. Isabella revealed to be working for the demons, as the two witnessed in shock of how Isabella is evil. As Emma and Norman returned to Grace Field unnoticed, the stuffed toy, Little Bernie, was left behind, which was eventually found by the two demons and Isabella.

Emma collapsed onto the ground in despair, as she recalled the traumatic scene she and Norman just witnessed, which soon led her to break down in tears. Norman consoled Emma and told her not to speak of the incident to anyone.

Isabella confronts Emma.

During the next few days, Emma and Norman remained silent and secretive about Conny's death and the existence of demons ; put on an innocent and childlike façade whenever they interact with Isabella, who was suspecting the two.

With the introverted yet intelligent Ray's involvement, the three started to devise an escape plan to rescue the orphans from Isabella and the demons' clutches. Emma wanted to save every single orphan, which greatly bothered Ray as he viewed her goal to be impossible to achieve. The three learnt and gathered every possible information they could get about the outside world and to aid in their eventual escape. Ray helped in plotting the escape plan. Isabella eventually got Krone appointed as Grace Field's second caretaker (as the orphans's "Sister"), an additional obstacle for Emma, Norman and Ray to deal with. Krone tried to get in the way of the trio, much to their dismay.

Emma, Norman and Ray eventually recruited Don and Gilda into the team as additional help and told them about the secrets behind Grace Field, Isabella and the existence of Demons. Along the way, the five faced obstacles and issues whilst working together, such as the interference of Isabella and Krone ; suspicions of Gilda being on the enemies' side ; Ray's double-crossing ; and Don's unhappiness towards the limited trust Emma, Norman and Ray had on him and Gilda, whom they did not tell the entirety of their plan and motives to.

When the Emma and her team finally managed to put Ray's escape plan into work, it was, however, foiled by Isabella, as she fructured Emma's leg and revealed how Norman will be the next to suffer the same fate as Conny (sending him off to the demons).

Norman comforting Emma before being sent off.

The team and the plan began to fall apart, with Norman being sent off from Grace Field ; Ray excluding himself in aiding the plan ; Emma falling into depression whilst being immobilized to help ; and Isabella's success in beating them. Months passed as the remaining four orphans resumed theur daily routine in Grace Field and maintained the innocent demeanor they once had.

On January 2046, Emma and Ray – fuelled by the thirst for vengeance of their presumably dead friend – re-enacted the escape plan and revealed how the fact that they had given up during the last few months were all just an act.

Personality

An enthusiastic Emma hopped out of bed, spreading liveliness to the sleepy orphans.

Initially, Emma was shown as an optimistic and bubbly girl who is full of life, and is the first one who would jump up of bed to pervade a liveiness to the then sleepy atmosphere inside the orphans' bedroom. Emma always showed unlimited love and care for her fellow foster siblings, as she played the part as an elder sister figure among her younger ones. Emma also showed to be brave and dauntless, as she put on a brave front when helping Gilda to catch the "ghosts" that were lurking inside the Grace Field House. Athletic and extroverted, Emma is a direct contrast to Norman's weak physique and Ray's introvert, thus she has plently of friends and was seldom seen without one by her side.

When they saw what had happened in the truck, Emma – who rarely shows her tears to anyone – cried in front of Norman

— Emma seldom cries, but does when Conny died.

Emma broke down into tears as Norman comfort her.

After discovering Conny's corpse and the truth behind Grace Field and Isabella, Emma immediately broke down into a traumatic state as she painfully cried over the death of her dear sister, reflecting how Emma loves and cares for her siblings and thus her death greatly impacted her. As Emma cried, she worried that her other friends had to suffer the same fate as Conny as well, showing the selflessness and altruistic side of her.

Emma's selflessness was further shown when she hanged her life perilously in the balance to ensure the safety of her friends when she lured a wild demon away from them when they encountered it in a forest. Whilst being selfless and loyal, Emma would show herseld to be a bit of an airhead, as her goal of saving every orphan from Grace Field was deemed as impossible but she still believed she could achieve it, hence being called an airhead by Ray.

Norman comforting a distraughted Emma.

Emma sees Norman as a close friend and a brotherly figure. Being orphans of the Grace Field House, they have been close throughout their entire lives.

Despite the two's contrasting personalities —Ray's serious and well- reserved attitude and Emma's flightiness and optimism— which occasionally led to personality clashes, the two love each other as siblings regardless and would support and help each other when one is in distress. Emma often encourages Ray to be more open and out-going, and frequently invites him to join the orphans in games such as a game of tag, and not have his head buried in a book all the time. After discovering how Isabella is evil, Ray was the only other person besides Norman Emma initially put her trust on when they strategized their plan to escape from Grace Field. Like typical siblings (or at least friends), they do not always agree and Emma's nature and opinions sometimes get on Ray's nerves. Nevertheless, the were able to work it out and faced no difficulties working together.

Gilda

Hang on! don't give up, Emma! You want to see your family again, don't you. Bet you are dying to know my name, don't you. Don't go dying on me, Emma!

— Yugo to an unconscious Emma when he attempted to bring her back to the shelter safely.

Emma initially showed scepticism and a tint of hatred towards Yugo, which is however unmatched by his much greater hatred towards her. Being a forgiving and trusting person, Emma do not hold grudge against Yugo even after he threatened to kill her a couple of times, noticeably when he shoots her or when he used her and Ray as bait to lure a man-eater.

Emma remained silent and endured Yuugo's violent and loud complaining of her.

Emma is highly aware of the animosity Yugo displayed towards her, nevertheless, she tried to get on good terms with him and explained her goal of saving the orphans in Grace Field, which changed the man's perspection on life as he started to regret his decision to get Emma killed in Goldy Pond. Therefore, the hostility between Emma and Yugo starts to lessen.

During the fight Emma, Yugo, Ray and a few members of the Goldy Pond Resistance had against Leuvis, Emma was keen and eager to know Yugo's name, while the opposite sheepishly promised to reveal to her afterwards, showing the progressing friendship and acceptance the two started to have.

As promised, Yugo finally revealed his name to Emma.

As time flies, Emma begins to see Yugo in a new light as both sides accept each other as friends, this was shown when Yugo finally revealed his name to Emma, as the latter smiled warmly at him.^{Citation needed} As time passed, Emma became a daughter figure to Yugo, evident when Emma and Ray were preparing to search for Culvitidala, Yugo recommended the two to have Violet and Zack to accompany them. Gillian then figured out how Yugo had become increasingly caring towards Emma and Ray as it showed how much he is concerned of the two's safety. When Emma and the rest left, Lucas called Yugo a "mother hen" as he kept worrying on Emma and the others' safety.
