Description
Emma Verde is a third-year student at Nijigasaki High School, originally from Switzerland's Italian-speaking region, specifically Ticino or Grisons, as reflected by her use of "Buono" and surname "Verde." As the eldest in a large family of eight younger siblings, she possesses a naturally nurturing personality. Her dream of becoming a school idol, sparked by seeing a Japanese school idol performance on television during a Swiss snowstorm, drove her to study abroad in Japan after learning the language.
She radiates gentle, kindhearted warmth with an easygoing demeanor, known for her healing nature and constant effort to encourage others. Despite her cheerful exterior, she internalizes worries to avoid burdening others and experiences nervousness easily. Her background creates a bond with fellow idol Kanata Konoe over the joys of caring for younger siblings. Emma maintains close family ties through weekly video calls and video letters.
Physically, Emma stands 166 cm (5'5") tall with a slim figure, semi-long auburn hair often styled in two short low braids, light blue eyes, and freckles across her nose. Her official image color is light green (#84c36e).
Her hobbies include quilting and extensive outdoor activities like woodland walks, river play, and mountain excursions, sometimes lasting seven hours with packed lunches. She owns a pet goat named Neve. She enjoys Japanese bread crusts for their fluffiness and possesses a notable appetite, evidenced by narrowly winning a dumpling eating contest against Hanayo Koizumi by pairing dumplings with bread.
As a school idol, Emma was an original member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, which initially disbanded due to creative differences. She later rejoined and became part of the subunit QU4RTZ. Her motivation centers on bringing joy, especially to her siblings in Switzerland, aspiring to appear on television so her family can see her performances.
Her development highlights initial struggles with homesickness, combated through idol activities. In the *All Stars* bond episodes, she meets Mai Natsukawa, the singer of "Aion no Uta"—the song that inspired her during the snowstorm—reinforcing her dedication. Her growth is marked by increasing confidence in sharing feelings and fostering connections, seen in her efforts to cook for others and her dream of uniting people through performances.
