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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 4 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 42022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 5 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 52022/09/30.]</ref> After completing her schooling, Emmy received her assignment to care for the [[Hawthorn Grove Families#The Delaire family|Delaire family]].<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/family-assignments-/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=25 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 13 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 132022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 15 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 152022/09/30.]</ref>

Emmy spent the next four years living with the Delaires in [[Notable Locations#Hawthorn Grove|Hawthorn Grove]].<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/daily-routine-part-1/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=28 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 16 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 162022/09/30.]</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 name="trolley_ride" />

One Saturday, Ted took Angela, Madeline and Emmy on a shopping trip to [[Notable Locations#Beacon City|Beacon City]].<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/city-trip/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=42 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 30 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 2022/09/30.]</ref> While in the city, Emmy prevented Madeline from receiving a piece of candy from a [[Minor Characters#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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 31 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 312022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 40 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 402022/09/30.]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/birthday-party-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=60 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 48 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 482022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 51 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 512022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 52 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 522022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 55 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 552022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 60 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 602022/09/30.]</ref> Emmy snuck out of her assigned cell to eavesdrop on [[Ron Bennet|Dr. Bennet]] and [[Marcus Webb|Dr. Webb]] discussing her situation.

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 [[Notable Locations#Dupont|Dupont]],<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/a-hasty-exit/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=75 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 62 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 622022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 71 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 712022/09/30.]</ref>

Laying unconscious in the landfill, Emmy was eventually awoken when her right arm was stolen by small scavenging robots known as [[Minor Characters#Nabs|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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 66 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 662022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 70 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 702022/09/30.]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/junked-part-4/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=87 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 73 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 732022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 75 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 752022/09/30.]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/payphone-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=90 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 76 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 762022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 78 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 782022/09/30.]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/a-house-of-outmodes-part-1/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=94 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 80 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 802022/09/30.]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/a-house-of-outmodes-part-2/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=95 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 81 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 812022/09/30.]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/garrison/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=96 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 82 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 822022/09/30.]</ref> Emmy then met Aunt Ginny herself, and witnessed her talk to the painting of [[Minor Characters#Aunt Ginny'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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 84 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 842022/09/30.]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/goodies-part-3/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=99 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 85 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 852022/09/30.]</ref><ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/father-knows-best/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=100 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 86 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 862022/09/30.]</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 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 87 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 872022/09/30.]</ref>

Emmy is the protagonist and namesake of Dominic Cellini's webcomic ''[[Emmy the Robot]]''. Cellini first shared a picture of Emmy in May 2019 on his Instagram account.<ref name="first_appearance" /> Over the next year he posted various unconnected drawings and comic strips featuring Emmy on his social media, until eventually he officially launched ''Emmy the Robot'' as a webcomic on Patreon in March 2020<ref>[https://www.patreon.com/posts/greetings-35080479 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 1 on Patreon,. chapterRetrieved 12022/09/30.]</ref> and on Webtoon in April 2020.<ref>[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/greetings-/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=12 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' chapter 1 on Webtoon,. chapterRetrieved 12022/09/]</ref> Many of the previous comic strips were adapted into chapters of the webcomic.

* In a Patreon exclusive strip, Emmy was revealed to secretly enjoy eating decorative soaps.<ref>[https://www.patreon.com/posts/decorative-soaps-40994639 Dominic Cellini - ''Emmy the Robot'' on Patreon, bonus chapter ''Decorative Soaps'' on Patreon.
