Backstory
EMI's family run an electronics store, and she's a whiz with machines, but not so good with computers. After graduating from high school, she studied at an electronics academy. With her classmates, she develops dance robots to parcitipate in robot contests (her area of specialty: cheering -- bringing honey lemon preservatives).
"I finally completed building the "dance-bot" that I have been working on since I was at the technical institute. I have no doubt about my robot winning the competition!"
She passed the audition for a popular dance program. "Watch me everyone! I'm going to do my best!". She spends all of her free time practicing her dancing.

There were actually two different competing visions for this character. In the end, we decided to make her cute, which made both sides happy. She's a sharp dresser!
