She maintains a professional appearance always dressed in a officer's uniform with her hair done up in a bun except for two forward bangs.

She discriminates against the Norma as she sees them as "antisocial, vicious, dirty, and things" in the human society. She is not afraid to express her believes even in from of Normas. When Ange came to Arzenal she immediately treated her as a Norma and not a human being. She also seems to feel uncomfortable when she does the "dirty work" where Jill gives Ange a cavity search and she would look away. The time Ange a Norma "bought" a human being Momoka, did not agree that this should happen which it did anyways. Emma could not believe that Momoka enjoy being Ange's servant because she believes that Norma should be the one serving the Humans. Despite her dislike of Norma, Emma seems to have a certain level of respect to her superior Jill the Commander at Arzenal This could be because Jill the one who obeys mostly the rules of the Humans. Being a citizen of the Kingdom of Rosenblum, Emma holds the members of the Rosenblum Royal Family in high regard. After facing a DRAGON she became shell-shocked and developed a phobia towards them and is prone to fainting at the sight.

She is last seen assisting the Norma and DRAGONs in building a new life together

After Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi arrived at Arzenal, Emma informed her that she would be required to fight. When Angelise ask her what happened to her mother, she ignores her and consficate the jewelry that she's wearing.

When Jill pins Angelise on a table for a cavity search, Jill asks her to give her a hand, which she asks "Why me?" meaning she does not wish do this part of the job. Jill asks her doesn't she want to get the "dirty work" over with and decides to shackle the the former princess using her Mana. When Jill is about to enter her artificial arm into Angelise's body, she looks away in disgust. In the manga version, instead of looking away Emma helps Jill hold down Angelise's body so Jill could do the cavity search on her. (CROSS ANGE: "Fallen Princess") When Misty Rosenblum came to visit Arzenal and was just about to arrive, Emma went as far as to order the use of Para-mail to escort the fleet, but made Mei use the emergency launching mechanism to forcefully launch the Villkiss when Ange wouldn't take off on her own.
