Emily is a troubled and eccentric teenager in the Class of '09 games, depicted as the typical bad kid in school. She is a classmate and former friend of Nicole. Emily is a pale, slender teenage girl with blue eyes and shaggy layered long blonde hair she wears over her shoulders. Her style could be described as alternative, drawing inspiration from Emo and Scene fashion, mostly reflected by her haircut. She is usually seen wearing "edgy" shirts and ripped jeans, and on one occasion wears a hoodie and sometimes shorts. The anime pilot finds a middle ground between her shirts and hoodie which she wears unzipped along with her shirts. Despite not being seen in her in-game sprites, according to Nicole she has a notable amount of self-harm scars "all over her body", as well as a shoulder blade tattoo in the shape of angel wings with the quote "Proud Mistake" written in the feathers. Jecka also notes that Emily "reeks of cigarettes,” and often thought of to be constantly on drugs and “coked out of her mind” as said by Nicole. Emily is described as "Avril Lavigne if she wasn't famous" or a "Violent Alt Girl". She is a chaotic teenager struggling with psychiatric disorders, and had been admitted to a psych ward in the past, and explicitly tells Nicole about hearing voices in her head, likely being Schizophrenia or from the drugs she uses as she hints that her Seroquel/Quetiapine makes her hallucinate at night when asked by Nicole. She develops a very unhealthy attachment to Nicole or anyone she finds cool, likely being Borderline Personality Disorder. She exhibits very violent tendencies, recounting incidents such as slashing her mother's tires or setting her ex-boyfriend's car on fire; she also has to take Seroquel, which she describes as “similar to anti-psychotics”. Emily is extremely defensive and aggressive, and usually insults others when things don't go her way, even people she appears to care about. In the route where she and Nicole become very close, Emily still threatens her multiple times—once when she feels Nicole is being condescending by using complicated words like "spontaneous," and again when she fears Nicole is backing out of their plan against Ms. Ames. She is also a rebellious troublemaker. She skips school, has poor grades that place her in remedial classes, and frequently argues with and insults her teachers. She hates her parents, who are divorced; wishing her father were dead and calling her mother a "bitch." Additionally, she engages in very unhealthy behaviors and addictions: she dates older men despite being in high school, regularly self-harms, and is heavily dependent on drugs, both dealing and consuming them. In The Flip Side, it is revealed that she has multiple boyfriends, and she reveals to Nicole prior to The Flip Side that she would habitually hook up with all of her ex friends' boyfriends, leading to them all not wanting to talk to her anymore as a result. She is not above stealing, as she steals cereal from the mall, takes Crispin's belongings after giving him cough medicine to pass out, and she seems to know how to break into lockers, not needing Jecka's locker combination when she asked her for a cigarette. She also dislikes people whom she deems posers, such as when she encountered Nicole and Jecka at a Marilyn Manson concert, angrily saying they wasted their tickets and not believing they actually knew about his music. However, Emily is not heartless, though her attachment to people and her way of showing affection can be, again, very unhealthy: she violently threatens anyone who opposes Nicole, including Nicole's mother, idolizes Nicole, and even expresses a desire to die with her in a suicide pact. She also suggests that Nicole perform sexual favors on Myspace when she's homeless rather than offering to let Nicole stay with her or something else far safer, but she does offer encouragement saying that
