==Plot summary==
==Biography==
===Early life===
The comic begins with Emmy explaining about [[Nandroids]] and the initial schooling they must all go through to become human-care certified. It's shown that all Nandroids know a range of subjects, like 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>, while in [[Nandroid School]] they are 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 receives 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>
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>


Emmy was then shipped to her new home, and, on a Christmas morning, [[Ted Delaire]] unveiled her to his wife [[Angela Delaire|Angela]] and his daughter [[Madeline Delaire|Madeline]], who warmy accepted the Nandroid.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/christmas-morning-/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=27 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 15]</ref>
The comic then jumps forward in time four years and chronicles the daily lives of Emmy and her family, along with her friends.

During a trip into the city, we see how Emmy's schooling has given her a bias towards outmoded robots, as she keeps Madeline from receiving a piece of candy from a friendly [[Busker Bot]].<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> Emmy is later shown to not be fully aware of her limits as a robot as she tells Madeline about how Nandroids have superior engineering and are unable to become outmoded.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/not-like-other-robots/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=44 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 32]</ref>


===Serving the Delaires===
This all leads to an incident during Madeline's eighth birthday party in which Emmy malfunctions. Throughout the day leading up to the party Emmy is shown having multiple malfunctions with her hand<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>, causing various delays and mishaps as she prepares for the party. This issue culminates to a full blown fire extinguisher attack on Madeline's birthday cake by Emmy, who sees the fire on her candles as a threat.<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> After destroying the cake Emmy then sprays [[Ted Delaire|Ted]] as well before regaining her senses and looking around at the ruined party. She is taken away by the other Nandroids but is unable to be consoled and locks herself in the bathroom.

Emmy spent the next four years living with the Delaires in [[Hawthorn Grove]].<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/daily-routine-part-1/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=28 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 16]</ref> During this time she formed a strong bond with Madeline, and enjoyed spending time with her friends [[Amy]], [[Franny]], [[Molly]], and [[Polly]] - four of her former Nandroid School classmates who were assigned to families living in the same neighborhood.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/trolley-ride/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=30 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 18]</ref>


After the incident Emmy's human-care certification is revoked and she is sent to a Sterling facility to undergo testing 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> After two weeks there and with no luck diagnosing the issue Emmy eavesdrops on two of the Sterling 'bot docs' discussing her situation and how she may need to be sent away for dismantling if a solution isn't found.<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> After hearing this and with the door to her room having been locked behind her, she hides in a trashcan to avoid being seen by one of the doctors, but this leads her to be sent down a trash chute as another robot empties the trashcan she was in. She is then trapped inside a refrigerator and is transported to a landfill across the bay to [[Dupont]], 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>
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>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/not-like-other-robots/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=44 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 32]</ref>


===The birthday incident===
After awakening in the landfill, she immediately has her right arm stolen by small scavenging robots known as [[Nab]]s. She attempts to chase after them but slides down into a pile of trash and is knocked into shutdown mode again. She is found a short while later by [[Darcy Boyle|Darcy]] who reactivates her and is able to find and attach a temporary arm to Emmy. With no easy route to return home, Darcy takes Emmy to a payphone but Emmy is reluctant to call either Sterling or her family as she still has no human care certification and returning to Sterling would result in her apparent dismantling.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/payphone-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=90 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 76]</ref> Darcy then suggests she come with her to her [[Ginny Hackle|Aunt Ginny]]'s [[Aunt Ginny's house|house]] and attaches a strange bracelet device to Emmy.
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>

===The aftermath===
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>

===Outmoded===
Laying unconscious in the landfill, Emmy was eventually awoken when her right arm was stolen by small scavenging robots known as [[Nab]]s. She attempted to chase after them, but accidentally slid down into a pile of trash and got knocked into shutdown mode again.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/lost-and-found/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=80 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 66]</ref>

Some time later Emmy was found by [[Darcy Boyle|Darcy]], who reactivated her and was able to find and attach a replacement arm to the Nandroid.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/junked-part-1/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=84 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 70]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/junked-part-4/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=87''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 73]</ref> With no easy route to return home, Darcy took Emmy to a payphone. However, Emmy was reluctant to call either Sterling Robotics or her family, as she still had no human care certification and feared that returning to Sterling would result in her being dismantled. Darcy then suggested she come with her to her [[Ginny Hackle|Aunt Ginny]]'s [[Aunt Ginny's house|house]], and attached a bracelet device to Emmy.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/payphone-part-1/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=89 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 75]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/payphone-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=90 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 76]</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>


Once they arrive at Aunt Ginny's, Emmy is introduced to the [[Aunt Ginny's outmodes|outmodes]] living there. They all find her story and predicament to be nonsensical and even humorous, leading to anger from Emmy. After meeting Aunt Ginny herself, seeing her talk to a painting on the wall,<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 87]</ref> and another bout of being laughed at by the outmodes for her insistence that her family is looking for her, Emmy runs away.
