Emma (Japanese:エマEmma) is a character introduced in theFire Emblem Cipher trading card game. She is aSky Knight fromHoshido. She is acquainted with thedark mageShade and theSamuraiYuzu. Her first appearance as a character in a mainlineFire Emblem series title is as a playable downloadable character inFire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

Fire Emblem Cipher

Role

While simply a trading card character, she, alongsideShade, serves as an introductory character on the Fire Emblem Cipher website. They both have their owncolumn on the site where they discuss various aspects and events concerning the development of the trading card game, with the first one being an introduction to the new TCG as a whole. Six other characters have since joined the column, for a grand total of eight to date.

While she is from Hoshido, she does not make any appearances in any ofFire Emblem Fates's various campaigns ordownloadable content.

Emma is featured on fifteen cards inFire Emblem Cipher, the most actual cards of any of Cipher's mascots to date. Additionally, she has been featured on twoApril Fools' prank cards; as this is one prank card less than Shade, Emma and Shade tie for the most overall card depictions of Cipher mascots to date.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Role

Emma appears as adownloadable playable character inFire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

Emma, on her multi-world travels withRandal,Shade, andYuzu, ends up inValentia. Unfortunately, the group ends up split in two pairs, Emma having ended up with Randal. The two set off to find Shade and Yuzu, but during their search Randal cheats some men out of their money in a gambling match. Emma is upset at this, though she still goes to find help to fight off the angry men after Randal. EitherCelica's orAlm's group comes to their assistance. Emma is very grateful of this and makes Randal promise to stop his gambling habits, to which he agrees.

Emma accompanies whoever saved her and Randal for the rest of the game, though what exactly she accomplishes with Alm or Celica depends on when in the story she was saved.

Personality

Unlike Shade, Emma is fairly inexperienced and ignorant. Somewhat amusingly, she is not even aware of what a TCG is. She is very cheerful, but seems to fluster easily. She always strives to better herself and further her training, being a fledgling sky knight.

Endings

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

After the war, Emma departed Valentia for a new land. History makes no further mention of her, but some say she became one of the finest knights in the sky, taming pegasus, falcon, wyvern, and all manner of beast—always with a friendly smile astride her mount.

Cipher

Emma continues to train in order to become a full-fledged pegasus knight. Her tireless Cipher training also continues, but she has yet to show much improvement at the game.
