== Story==
===Ninja Dancer Emma===
One night while doing her usual vigilante activities, Emma deals with a pair of mafia members about to do exchange briefcases. During the attack, one of the briefcases causes to Emma lose one the rings decorating her hair. The ring is found by a woman named Lauren Warren, who is looking for Emma after watching her dance the day prior and hearing about her vigilante accomplishments.
The next night, Lauren encounters Emma while the latter is scouting. She is initially on guard, thinking that Lauren might be law enforcement, but she assures her that she is not and tells Emma that she is a talent manager looking for young talent to promote to stardom. Emma tells Lauren of her history and her hearing ability, citing it as the reason for her being a vigilante. Lauren says she wants to make Emma a popular dancer and offers her a chance to audition in the Stars of Tomorrow talent show. Emma is hesitant, as her previous attempts at auditions haven't gone well, but Lauren insists.
One month later, Emma auditions for the talent show. However, Emma's nerves start to get the better of her and she starts to dance awkwardly. Making matters worse, she overhears a few audience members belittling her. Demoralized, Emma nearly breaks down until Lauren points out that there are people cheering her on in the audience as well. Reinvigorated, Emma's performance improves drastically. During the performance, Emma manifests a new ability to create ghost-like clones, which she uses to add to her performance. She receives a roaring round of applause, and is declared the winner.
Backstage, following the audition, Lauren congratulates Emma but also apologizes, revealing that she is not actually a talent scout and is actually a recruiter for the World Ninja Association, and that both she and Emma are actually ninja; Emma initially thinks that Lauren is joking before the latter continues to explain the organization's mission to preserve shinobi bloodlines and restore ninjas' public image. Awestruck, Emma embraces her ninja heritage and agrees to join Lauren with the WNA, calling herself a "ninja dancer."
Emma goes on to perform in more shows, with Lauren as a sort of mentor. Some time later after one show, Emma asks Lauren what their next show will be. Lauren answers by showing her a poster for an event called Ninjala.

Emma has a unique Shinobi power that augments her hearing to extreme levels, allowing her to clearly hear sounds and conversations within a large radius. Emma used this ability to overhear conversations between criminals and the mafia, allowing her to track them down and dispatch them.
=== Ghost Clones===
Emma briefly showcased this ability during the Stars of Tomorrow audition, in which she created two ghost-like clones of herself that mimicked her movement. It is unknown if these clones are illusions or even physical, nor is it known if it's a unique ability to Emma or if it is common, and further details about it have yet to be explored.
