Bio
Emily was ignored by the other engines for pulling Annie and Clarabel without Thomas' permission or knowledge. The matter was resolved after she saved both Thomas and Oliver from a nasty accident on the cross-points, and she was rewarded with two new coaches.

Persona
Emily acts as a sisterly figure to the others, but can get into trouble because of her fussy and bossy attitude. She's nicer than she lets on. According to a magazine bio, she has a particular fondness for James and treats him like a little brother.

Basis
Emily is based on a GNR Stirling Single, of which there is only one left in the world, located at the National Railway Museum in York.

Livery
Emily is painted in the emerald livery of the Great Northern Railway with gold lining and chocolate running-boards.
