==Biography==

Emmy was created by [[Sterling Robotics]] and prepared to become human care-certified at their [[Sterling USA headquarters|USA headquarters]] alongside other Nandroids. Boasting vast knowledge on a range of subjects such as advanced mathematics and multiple languages,<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/child-proof/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=16 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 4]</ref> Emmy and her classmates went through a rigorous education process at [[Nandroid School]], where they were taught socialization and proper etiquette for how to care for their future human owners.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/education/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=17 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 5]</ref> After completing her schooling, Emmy received her assignment to care for the [[Delaire family]].<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/family-assignments-/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=25 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 13]</ref>

 

One Saturday, Ted took Angela, Madeline and Emmy on a shopping trip to [[Beacon City]].<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/city-trip/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=42 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 30]</ref> While in the city, Emmy prevented Madeline from receiving a piece of candy from a [[Busker Bot|friendly-looking outmode]], exhibiting her bias towards outmoded robots.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/busker-bot/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=43 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 31]</ref> When Madeline later confronted Emmy about it, Emmy assured her charge that they will always be together, because Nandroids have superior engineering and are unable to become outmoded.<ref name="not_like_other_robots" />

 

At some point shortly prior to Madeline's eighth birthday, Emmy received a new software update via mail.<ref name="serial_number" /> Following this, she began experiencing malfunctions with her hand, which resulted in various delays and mishaps during Emmy's preparations for Madeline's birthday party and the subsequent party itself.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/piece-of-cake/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=52 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 40]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/birthday-party-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=60 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 48]</ref>

 

The issue ultimately culminated into Emmy losing consciousness and involuntarily destroying Madeline's birthday cake, with her arm spraying the cake with fire extinguishing foam seemingly on its own accord in response to perceiving the candles on the cake as a fire threat. [[Ted Delaire|Ted]] attempted to stop Emmy, but got sprayed with the foam as well.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/make-a-wish/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=63 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 51]</ref> When Emmy regained her senses, her Nandroid friends lead her away and attempted to console her. However, overwhelmed with shame, she locked herself in a bathroom.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/the-aftermath-part-1/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=65 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 52]</ref>

 

Following the incident, Emmy's human care certification was revoked, and she was sent back to [[Sterling USA headquarters|Sterling headquarters]] to undergo testing in order to find and fix the cause of her malfunction.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/bot-docs/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=68 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 55]</ref> However, after the cause of the issue remained undiscovered for 11 days,<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/we-have-a-problem-part-1/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=73 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 60]</ref> Emmy snuck out of her assigned cell to eavesdrop on [[Ron Bennet|Dr. Bennet]] and [[Marcus Webb|Dr. Webb]] discussing her situation. After hearing Dr. Bennet mention Emmy potentially getting sent away for dismantling, and panicking due to her cell door locking shut behind her,<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/we-have-a-problem-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=74 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 61]</ref> Emmy hid in a trashcan to avoid being detected. However, before she could react, an oblivious [[janitor robot]] emptied the trashcan into a trash chute, unknowingly sending Emmy down the chute. Trapped inside a discarded refrigerator, Emmy was then transported across the [[Beacon Bay]] to a landfill in [[Dupont]],<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/a-hasty-exit/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=75 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 62]</ref> approximately 30 miles from her home.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/junked-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=85 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 71]</ref>

 

Upon arriving at Aunt Ginny's, Emmy was introduced to a group of [[Aunt Ginny's outmodes|outmodes]] living there, and attempted to explain her predicament to them. However, they found her story to be nonsensical and even humorous, believing her to be in denial about being purposefully discarded by her owners, much to Emmy's disappointment and anger.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/no-nose-rust-bucket-part-1/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=92 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 78]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/a-house-of-outmodes-part-1/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=94 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 80]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/a-house-of-outmodes-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=95 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 81]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/garrison/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=96 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 82]</ref> Emmy then met Aunt Ginny herself, and witnessed her talk to the painting of [[Ginny Hackle's father|her father]] on the wall while repeatedly misnaming Emmy.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/goodies-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=98 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 84]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/goodies-part-3/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=99 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 85]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/father-knows-best/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=100 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 86]</ref> After another bout of being laughed at by the outmodes for her insistence that her family is missing her, Emmy ran away into the night, much to Darcy's dismay.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/we-got-a-runner/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=101 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 87]</ref>
