Emily The Emerald Engine

Описание: Emily is a Stirling Single tender engine who has a big heart and acts as a sisterly figure to the other engines despite being fussy and impulsive at times. Following her rescue of Gordon from a collapsing bridge and James, Percy and Rebecca from a derailment, she was rewarded with being appointed safety engine, gaining her number twelve with it.

She works mostly on the Main Line in odd jobs and mixed traffic duties and once ran the Misty Valley Branch Line. She also has her own set of coaches.

When Emily was new to Sodor, she was ignored by the other engines for borrowing and pulling Annie and Clarabel without Thomas' permission or knowledge. The matter was resolved after she saved both Thomas and Oliver from nearly having a nasty accident on the cross-points and she was rewarded with two new coaches. Emily proved to be kind-hearted, as she was the only engine concerned about Henry when he was ill due to leaky tubes, she stuck up for Salty when Thomas and Percy were teasing him and suggested that Bulgy help the farmer deliver his vegetables around the island, after his passenger services went wrong with some naughty hens.

However, Emily has proven to be a nuisance on occasion as she bossed everyone about when they were clearing up after a storm, Thomas when he was taking passengers and Percy when he was shunting trucks. When pulling the express for the first time, Emily was determined to keep to Gordon's timing. Unfortunately, she became impatient and ran out of water.

Later on she was assigned to the Flour Mill. She soon met with James who was assigned to the Misty Valley Branch Line, primarily the Black Loch and he told her that there was a monster in the Loch. She had trouble with the Flour Mill and ended up crashing some trucks off the line. She was later reassigned to the Misty Valley Branch Line replacing James, where she discovered that the monster was just a family of seals. She is presumed to still work the line as it has never been stated otherwise.

When Thomas had to stay at Knapford Sheds, Emily did not like his company at first as she did not want any noise; she just wanted some sleep. However, she learned how comfortable it is to have the company of friends, missing Thomas when he did not return to the sheds. Originally disappointed once Tidmouth Sheds was rebuilt, she was delighted to find that the shed had gained a seventh berth and she was transferred there to be with her new shed mates.

When Molly first came to the North Western Railway, Emily laughed at her for having to haul "empties" to the coaling plant and her feelings were hurt.

It was not long until Diesel took Gordon's special coaches away and Emily chased after him because she shrugged him off earlier. She could not catch him anywhere and that made her feel silly. She told the Fat Controller what had happened. She scolded Diesel for taking the coaches when he was feeling ill, so he told her that he set a record too (to Emily’s surprise) and Diesel explained to her that he shunted more trucks in one day than any other diesel. Later, Emily got a new diesel motor for Diesel. Emily apologised to Diesel that she did not listen and acknowleged both diesels and steamies are both special.

Emily thought that Whiff was smart and useful, then she was horrified to see that he was smelly, but decided to do her job. Gordon, James, Henry, Molly, Neville and Murdoch laughed at her for working with Whiff and she was tired for being teased. Then she saw Spencer looking very cross and he explained to her that his way was blocked with several smelly rubbish trucks. Emily pulled as hard as she could, but the trucks were much too heavy for her to move on her own. She asked Gordon and James to help her, but they both disagreed with her and she got upset. She soon found Whiff and apologised to him that she ran away from him and they got to work. They moved the rubbish trucks away, so that Spencer can be on his way and she said that Whiff is her new friend too
