## Storyline History

### Deep Blue Wonderland

When Mikado first meets her, Emily is blind due to Tandeki's first new experiment. She ended up rolling a "one". Emily and Mikado share a brief exchange before they decide that they can trust each other. Masaomi joins up with them moments later and hits on the blind girl. Emily laughs nervously, but Mikado assures that she can trust him too. She ends up staying at Mikado's apartment with Masaomi, Anri, Chiharu, Noriko, Kohaku, and Nami.

In the season finale, Emily and the other tadpoles start to have heightened senses and learn that the guys from Nebula have been spying on them.

Kitano has filled their bodies with many drugs to make them able to withstand the Woman in Red's destructive powers. Emily and the others learn that the results of the Tadpole experiments are irreversible.

### Wonderland Chaos

Emily, just like the rest of the tadpoles, is now forced into a new experiment where she has no impulse control for three days. She also learns that she can hear thoughts of one person thanks to Satoshi's death. Emily is seen at the library when Tetsu tells the other tadpoles that he doesn't trust the guys from Nebula and that they should find the other tadpoles themselves. She and the tadpoles learn that Celty can neutralize their powers when she is nearby.

Emily is the one who pushes Mikado to tell the others about Azusa's death. The tadpoles meet up and talk about Azusa. They all decide to form bonds to keep them grounded. When the Tadpole Project begins their new experiments, Emily wakes up with a terrible headache. Taiyou asks about her well-being and can sense changes in his master's body. Emily and Midori talk for a brief moment before the former gets dressed. Turns out the tadpoles are getting smarter.

In "Girls", it is revealed that Taiyou can't be in the room when Emily is changing clothes, he can't be with when she's in the bathroom, and he can't come in the school with her. She's just still adjusting to him following her every command. So, she decides to make the most of it by "giving him a personality" after she asks what he does for fun. Emily starts by giving him her iPod with a playlist of classical music. Later, she's at Russia Sushi with the other tadpole girls.

Emily, along with the other tadpoles, have a mock sports day to test what Kratos can do to them in the latest experiment.

After the experiment, Emily started breaking down. She couldn't feel pain. Because of this, she couldn't feel her hand slapping against her leg. Things get worse when Emily feels like she is being stalked. It slowly gets worse as Roc keeps stalking her. Mikado calls to check on her. The police aren't much help. In "Antebellum", Emily doesn't feel safe at home anymore. She is roaming around the city with Taiyou. Roc ends up trapping her near a graveyard. He subdues her and rapes her. She becomes so broken afterwards. Emily calls Mikado and tells him that she's going to jump off of the Tokyo Hands building. He gets there only to see Emily jumping to her death.
