Emmy Altava

Emmeline Altava, also known as Emmy Altava and Remi Altava, is one of the main characters from the Professor Layton series.
== Charactah Account ==
Layton's first assistant, who accompanies him on the adventures of the prequel trilogy and knew the Professor even before Luke. After being saved from the police by the professor, Emmy hoped to return the favour somehow. Her wish is fulfilled some years later when she's assigned to be Layton's assistant by the dean of Gressenheller University. Layton doesn't really remember her, but apparently, she doesn't mind.
Emmy Altava is a strong-willed young woman who loves taking pictures, and takes them whenever and wherever she can. She has a feisty side to her, but is usually very kind, caring and protective. She loves to tease with Luke about who's the number one assistant to the professor, and the two have a brother/sister type relationship.
Emmy is the most competent physical fighter of the second trilogy, able to chase after the Black Raven jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Because the series is a puzzle game, her fighting skills are most likely to be shown in cutscenes only.

== Trivia ==
* Emmy in the Japanese version's concept art was designed as 16 years old when she was accused in the flashback of Last Specter (the flashback itself taking place 6 years before) but is canonically 26 years old in Azran Legacy (her age being listed in the Japanese website). Layton's age, in comparison, is officially 34 in Last Specter (Last Specter taking place about two years before Azran Legacy, if going by Luke's official ages), possibly implying slight timeline/ages discrepancies (or changes on said details later being made to the finalized versions).
* If there are no age discrepancies (to Emmy being 16), that would mean she first met Layton when he was around 27 years old. (It's also possible Emmy could have been 16-going-on-17 with Emmy being closer to 17 in the flashback and with Layton being closer to age 33 in Last Specter, though there's still a slight discrepancy, unless a year or so is taken from the "6 years" ago that the flashback takes place in.)
* Regardless, the anime's timeline (taking +23 years in the future after Luke left in Unwound Future) would add around +23 years to her age regardless.
* The Japanese website for Last Specter also describes her as an "Asian beauty" or "an Asian descent beauty", implying her to be of half-Asian descent. 
* Despite referring to Leon Bronev as "uncle" in Western localisations of Azran Legacy Emmy's last name remains the same in both versions of the games. In the Japanese version, "Bronev" is actually Leon Bronev's first name, not his surname. His full name is "Bronev Rainer", "Rainer" being his surname. Emmy also does not take on the surname of "Rainer". 
* The line about Emmy referring to Bronev as "all I have in this world" is not actually included in the original Japanese version - instead, she simply says that she "works" for her "uncle", "who saved her". This possibly creates a plothole with localized versions, as this specific line appears to be a dub creation (or non-canon to the Japanese version). 
* Emmy actually referred to her "uncle" early on in the Japanese version of Last Specter, not long after she beats up Jakes's minions. ("My uncle"...), implying the Japanese version foreshadows her ending as early on as Last Specter.
* In the same scene where Emmy's past is first uncovered (her betrayal of Layton and Luke in Azran Legacy), Bronev refers to her with the "full name" of "Emmeline" (in Western localised versions only). In comparison, in the Japanese version, her full name remains "Remi", with no "full name" or "nickname" given.
* She carries a simple Leica type camera.
* She has a fear of spiders.
* She has a tendency to crack puns, notably in the English version.
* She is the narrator in the Last Specter and Azran Legacy.
