Personality[]
Biography[]
Emma was originally a homeless orphan who lived with Mimi, an Espurr she befriended, in the alleys. She unofficially became the accidental leader of the Lumiose City gang, who stole Pokémon from foreign travelers to get her attention. Looker, who was investigating a case, found her, pledged to look after her, and began teaching her how to read and write, allowing Emma to read at a beginners' level (1st grade at least). She had also picked up some Japanese/English from tourists which can help her with communicating with foreigners. She was first seen reprimanding the Lumiose Gang with help from the player character and Looker, getting them to go on the right path.
Seeing that Looker always pays for her food and boarding, Emma decided to get a part-time job to help out. However, this led to her being Xerosic's test subject for his Expansion Suit; she thought she was getting paid to fall asleep wearing it. Under the name Essentia, she was used to steal strong Pokémon from their trainers. She would keep her part-time job a secret from Looker and the player character to avoid worrying them about her concern about the lack of help she gave at the Looker Bureau. Looker and the player character chased the unconscious Emma all over Lumiose City, eventually leading to Mimi finding them and almost awakening Emma from her sleep.
Confronting Xerosic, the player character faced off with Emma until the Expansion Suit reached its limits for powering up Pokémon she used. When released from the suit's control, Emma wondered what everyone was doing. The player character led her away while Looker discussed the ethics of Xerosic's work. In the time she's known Xerosic, Emma's innocence had helped warm his once cold heart.
Since Looker's mission was over, he left a note to Emma and the player revealing his identity as a member of the International Police. He had also used his vast savings to purchase the Looker Bureau, which was his gift to Emma and Mimi to ensure a home for them; the player character was honored by getting to share Looker's codename. Emma received word for Xerosic that he and Looker would be taking the train. Emma confronted him, begging Looker to stay; however, Looker explained that he has to go where-ever his superiors need him to, and that their friendship wouldn't end. Xerosic then gifted Emma with the Expansion Suit; both he and Looker asked her to watch after Lumiose City as Essentia, its new protector. If the player character visits her after this, Emma has invited the members of Lumiose Gang to stay there to help out.
