Description
Emily Stewart is a young idol affiliated with 765 Production, first appearing in the game The IdolM@STER Million Live!. She is a thirteen-year-old girl originally from the United Kingdom, with a cheerful and energetic personality that is complemented by her polite and elegant manners. Emily stands at 156 centimeters tall and has a birthday on January 8th. Her blonde hair and silver or purple eyes contribute to her distinct appearance, which contrasts with her deep affinity for traditional Japanese culture.
Emily's defining characteristic is her passionate and earnest desire to become a Yamato Nadeshiko, a term that embodies the ideal of a traditionally feminine and graceful Japanese woman. This dream stems from having been taught Japanese dance and language by her parents from a young age, which fostered a great love for Japan. Her interpretation of this ideal is highly specific and results in a unique mode of speech; she makes a conscious effort to avoid using words of foreign origin, instead opting for complex and often archaic Japanese terms. For example, she addresses the producer as shikakenin-sama, a highly formal and unusual title, and refers to a cheerleading pom-pom as sukedachi tamafusa. While she strives to maintain this composed and traditional demeanor, she can become overwhelmed with excitement, at which point she might instinctively exclaim in English, such as with a cheerful "WOW!," before becoming flustered by her own mistake. Her commitment to her aesthetic is also physical, as she has been known to remove her boots and sit in the formal seiza position even during live stage greetings.
In her role as an idol, Emily is part of the Million Live! cast and is classified as a Princess type in the game The IdolM@STER Million Live! Theater Days. Her daily life and activities often involve practicing her hobbies, which include playing karuta (a Japanese card game) and performing traditional Japanese dances, skills she also lists as a talent. Her fondness for matcha further underscores her appreciation for Japanese customs. A key relationship in her story is her admiration for fellow idol Tsumugi Shiraishi, whom Emily regards as the perfect example of a Yamato Nadeshiko and looks up to as a role model.
Throughout her development, Emily consistently works to refine her understanding of Japanese culture and language, though she sometimes finds its complexities challenging, such as when attempting difficult tongue twisters. Her notable abilities are directly tied to her background and training; she is skilled in Japanese traditional dancing and right-handed. Despite being a recent arrival in Japan, her earnest and somewhat quirky dedication to her adopted homeland's traditions makes her a unique and memorable character.
