Emily
Emily is a large Stirling Single.
Bio[]
When Emily was new to the Sodor Railway, she was ignored by the other engines for pulling Annie and Clarabel without Thomas' permission or knowledge about them. The matter was resolved after she saved both Thomas & Oliver from a very 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 at the time concerned about Henry when he became ill due to leaky tubes.
However, Emily has proven to be a nuisance as she bossed around everyone about when they were clearing up after a storm, Thomas when taking passengers, and Percy when shunting trucks. When pulling the express for the first time, she was determined to keep to Gordon's timing, only to run out of water.
When Thomas had to stay at Knapford Sheds, Emily did not like his company at first as she just wanted some sleep. However, she learned how comfortable it is to have the company of friends and once Tidmouth Sheds was rebuilt, she was transferred there to be with her new shedmates.
Like most engines, Emily can get quite puffed up in the smokebox. when she was called "Excellent Emily", she ignored the advice of Murdoch, Thomas, and Duck only to get herself into trouble. Afterwards, she took their advice to get her job done.
Emily tries her best to make her friends happy. When she assumed that Mavis was sad, she took flowers to the quarry, but only created a mess. When she tried to help her friends with the football match, she neglected to fetch the dirty washing, which turned out to be the football team's uniforms. Also, when the Fat Controller lost his top hat, Emily went to find it without success and then took the special Christmas train without permission. However, she always makes amends for her friends' sake.
She later took Paxton to the Sodor Dieselworks after he was damaged during an accident at the Blue MountainQuarry.
