==Behind the scenes==
Madeline's name is taken from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeline_(book) the series originally created by Ludwig Bemelmans], as Dominic Cellini loved the cartoon as a child. <ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/family-assignments-/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=25 Dominic Cellini on Webtoon (in comments), 2020/06/20. Retrieved 2023/07/29.]</ref> The pronunciation of her name is different from her namesake due to confusion from Cellini on how it was supposed to be pronounced.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et8yFa64Yl4 Artforalways - Interview with Dominic Cellini About His Work and Emmy the Robot, from 03:21 to 03:29, 2023/12/17.
