Biography Edit
Living with Emmy Edit
While working for Sterling Robotics, Ted purchased Emmy as a Christmas gift for his family.[9] Emmy helped care for and raise Madeline for four years.[3]
The birthday incident Edit
During Madeline's 8th birthday party, Emmy malfunctions and involuntarily sprayed her birthday cake with fire retardant after seeing its sparkler candles, destroying it. Her father Ted attempted to stop Emmy, but she sprayed him as well.[10] While initially heartbroken at having her cake destroyed and not being able to make her wish, Madeline still forgives Emmy for the incident[11] and eagerly awaits Emmy's return[12] and even makes her a get-well-soon card.[4]
Emmy's disappearance Edit
Nearly two weeks after Emmy first went into Sterling, Madeline overhears her parents talking about Emmy's disappearance and conveys it to the other Nandroids.[13] Later, she is informed of the cover story that Sterling made for Ted, that Emmy was accidentally sent to Switzerland.[14] As she is complaining about this turn of events to her friends, she and Corbin get into a fight after Corbin suggests Emmy is defective[15] causing her to get into trouble from her parents,[16] showing the effect that not having Emmy is having on her.
Behind the scenes Edit
Madeline's name is taken from the series originally created by Ludwig Bemelmans, as Dominic Cellini loved the cartoon as a child.[17] The pronunciation of her name is different from her namesake due to confusion from Cellini on how it was supposed to be pronounced.[18] Her and her families design likely came out fully formed because they are based in common White Anglo-Saxon Protestants archetypes.[19]
