Meeting and befriending David in JC1 changed her values and the outlook she had on life and herself. Although her high maintenance profile is still prevalent, it has definitely fell to a reasonable standard.

She became more hardworking and cheerful after dating David. Although she can be too hardworking and serious at times.

History
Emily was infatuated with the handsome and genius Alex, which became a problem for Alex and Grace. She had tricked Alex, who was emotionally unstable after misunderstanding a situation regarding his lover Grace, into kissing her. Grace saw the act and Emily did so knowingly that she may be caught.

Emily apologized some time in JC1 and announced she was going to be in the Student Council, to which Alex replied with a smile and said, "I'll have you be my treasurer when I'm president."
