History
Emi grew up on the border world of Dixie, facing numerous raids by the Free Worlds League during her adolescence. The daughter of the regimental commander on Dixie, Emi was born and raised among BattleMechs and participated in the defense of Stonewall Pass at the age of only 15 in the unit's Urbanmech. Despite the small, inexpensive BattleMech's infamous reputation outside of urban environments, Emi scored four kills that day due to a superior tactical instinct.

Upon arriving on Solaris VII no stables were willing to take on an Urbanmech pilot, seeing the slow, lightly armored 'Mech as a liability. Emi developed a persona that made the most out of her looks and natural flamboyance to sell herself as a character rather than a pilot, which caught the attention of the Carthage stable, who have always been more focused on spectacle than actual success in the ring.

Emi's stunning rookie year in 3048 took everyone by storm as the little UrbanMech that could took down one ranked opponent after another through a use of ambush tactics and unconventional fighting techniques. Emi took fourth place in the Championship bout when Sorin Odessa lured her out of cover by feigning damage to his Battlemaster's PPC.
