Bio
When she first arrived on the Island, she accidentally took Thomas's coaches, and no-one would speak to her. However, after she rescued Oliver, all the engines welcomed her warmly. Since then, she has looked out for others. For example, when Henry was ill, she notified the Fat Controller and helped Henry when he broke down. She also reprimanded Thomas and Percy for copying Salty and hurting his feelings.
Later on, she did become a bit bossy and authoritative such as when she kept telling Thomas what to do. Thomas became annoyed and ended up ignoring Emily when she told him to have his snowplough fitted although she forgot to mention it was the Fat Controller's orders. She rescued Thomas when he was stuck in a snow drift and owned up to the Fat Controller by telling him she forgot to tell Thomas it was his order to have Thomas's snowplough fitted.
Time later, when Tidmouth Sheds was demolished, Thomas came to sleep at Knapford sheds with her. Thomas kept her awake with his whistle and stories of the day but she missed him one night and was sorry when Tidmouth sheds was repaired. However, an extra berth was added for her and since then, she resides at Tidmouth Sheds.
