Emily as I write her is kinda manic almost all the time, she's very smart and tends to develop exotic skills sometimes without really knowing how she does what she does. She strongly believes in the concept of 'to thine own self be true' She's kinda socially awkward but more in a doesn't quite get other people way than a self-conscious way. She is also pretty willing to go with the flow in weird situations and enjoy them for all they're worth. She is strongly based on Emily from QC but I think my interpretation of her might amp up the manic side a bit more than the version we see in the comic.
