Line 33:
[[Madeline Delaire|Madeline]] and Emmy have a very close relationship. After Emmy is separated from the Delaires, Madeline is shown constantly asking when Emmy will come home, and even makes her a get-well-soon card.

===Early life===
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>
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===

===The birthday incident===
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>
==Behind the scenes==
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 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Patreon, chapter 1]</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 ''Emmy the Robot'' on Webtoon, chapter 1]</ref> Many of the previous comic strips were adapted into chapters of the webcomic.
