Emily

Emily Tsurugi-Hono (or Model No. 815Z) is a character from Astro Boy (2003) and is a major character in The Knights of the Multiverse. She's a Droid built in the appearance of a ten-year-old girl with the ability to summon a powerful suit of armor and a sword, and is the adoptive daughter of Tetsuya Tsurugi and Jun Tsurugi-Hono. She and her cousin Nyoka Kabuto and their new friends in their future ventures of stopping criminals and exploring the Multiverse.

Personality
Emily is a strong, kind-hearted, and determined young gynoid that will (at least try to) do anything she puts her mind to. Taking the lessons from her adoptive father and uncle Koji's tales of heroism, she has a strong passion for protecting others and fighting evil, often motivated to stand and fight against anyone who threatens her friends/family, or anyone, really. Heck, her courage even sometimes spreads to everyone else on the team, especially Nyoka and the group's younger members.

But she's also very friendly, not minding hanging out with people that come off as "eccentric" or strange to everyone else (and trust me, on a team like this, that's a very good mindset to have). However, she's also one of the most reliable members of the team, always being there for her friends and tries to support them in any way she can, almost without fail. However, this isn't some surface-level nice-girl traits programmed into her. While she may have inherited her father's fiery fighting passion, she also inherited her mother's heart, which transferred into her valuing family above everything else. She views the Knights as her family: to her, they simply ARE her brothers and sisters (with the exception of Agnes for... personal reasons), and as such, loves them very much and is very dedicated to fighting with them, hanging out with them, and she will almost always be the first one to speak up about a rescue mission for when one of her friends gets captured.

Pre-Series
Emily was created several years before the events of the series in an experiment to replicate Honey Kisaragi's Airborne Element Fixing Device (with Honey's permission, of course), with her armor being based off of her Armor Knight form. Needless to say, the project was a success, with Emily not only gaining a full level of consciousness held by all Earth Prime-originating 'droids, but she was also successfully able to summon her armor at will, having a sword that was as strong as either of Great Mazinger's Mazinger Blades (maybe even stronger) and, of course, developing a full consciousness like all other androids on Earth Prime. She was handed over to the pilots of the Great Mazinger and Govarian, Tetsuya Tsurugi and his wife Jun, to help her get control over her powers and to see the world. As time passed, she started to develop bonds with the veteran pilots, with the two even adopting her as their own daughter, and even started homeschooling her.

Skills & Equipment
In her normal form, Emily displays no special skills, not even normal android abilities like enhanced agility, though she does have slightly enhanced strength.


 * "Ears"

Emily's antennae ears are able to receive all kinds of radio transmissions.


 * Sensors

Emily has a tiara-like headband lined with sensors, and a matching row of sensors on her chest, resembling a necklace.

Battle Mode
Emily is able to equip a set of armor via vocal command (in this case, shouting the phrase "Battle Up!") and is indicated by the buttons on her chest and forehead glowing yellow. This gives her new armor for her lower arms & legs, a new chest plate & extra armor on her skirt.


 * Armor

Emily's armor gives her a huge boost in strength (increasing it 10 fold) and jet thrusters on her boots, and is capable of taking a good amount of damage. She's also able to spawn only a couple pieces at a time, most notably her boots so she can fly and get around much easier.


 * Rocket Boots
 * Emily gains a pair of steel "boots" that allow her to fly at great speeds. The spikes on her kneepads and the sharpened blades on her feet also make for really good close-combat weapons.


 * Blade Kick
 * Emily performs a diving kick attack, with the blades on her boots slicing through her opponent.


 * Hand Beam
 * Emily is able to fire Photon Beams from the backs of her hands, with three built into each hand.


 * Rocket Punch
 * Much like her father's Super Robot, Emily can launch both of her armor's forearms like rockets at tremendous speed.


 * Spiral Knuckle
 * Inspired by Jeeg's Knuckle Bomber, Emily clasps her hands together and fires both of her Rocket Punches at once.


 * Sword

Despite its simple appearance, Emily's golden sword is surprisingly powerful. It's strong enough to slice through most metals and deflect most lasers. It can even absorb electrical attacks and fire them back at the attacker.


 * Boomerang Blade
 * A move she sort of made up on the spot, Emily can throw her sword similarly to a Getter Tomahawk Boomerang or Usagi's Moon Tiara Boomerang, often acting like either a buzz-saw and slicing right through her opponent or planting itself deep into their chest.


 * Thunder Break
 * By absorbing a bolt of electricity either from an oncoming attack or some other form of electricity, Emily is able to replicate her adoptive father's signature move by releasing it back at her opponent in a powerful burst.

Combo Attacks

 * Spiral Photon Knuckle

Combo attack w/ Nyoka: Emily launches her Spiral Knuckle and Nyoka boosts it with a blast from one of her Photon Cannons, with the fists spiraling like a drill inside of a Photon-powered barrier as they accelerate forward.


 * Moon Tiara Sword

Combo attack w/ Usagi: Two of Usagi's Mirage Tiaras combine with the blade on Emily's sword, forming a large golden blade with a red gemstone in the center that completely cover the blade underneath, extending it a good bit and making it both impervious to laser fire and allowing it to deal an even more serious amount of damage.


 * Double Fire Lancer

Combo attack w/ Agnes: The duo surround themselves in Agnes's fire aura and charge forward incredibly fast, with Emily's sword absorbing much of the fire's strength.

Tetsuya Tsurugi & Jun Tsurugi-Hono
Tetsuya and Jun are the most important people in Emily's life, viewing the two as her mother and father. She's always willing to help them in their projects, and is quick to protect them, even at the cost of her own life. She used to cling pretty tight to the two of them before the events of the series, but as she started spending more time with Usagi, she started spending less and less time with them, though she still helps them out whenever she can. Of course, she does get annoyed by all of their bickering from time to time, and she'll be quick to call them out on their antics.

Koji Kabuto & Sayaka Yumi
As he is Tetsuya's adoptive brother, Emily thinks of Koji as her uncle, and (naturally) Sayaka as her aunt.

Nyoka
Despite being created by different people and technically being cousins, Emily and Nyoka act more like sisters, with Emily being more the outgoing and courageous of the duo, often encouraging the younger droid to challenge herself more and to try & bond with the rest of the team as more and more members join their ranks.

Honey Kisaragi
As one of Koji's longtime friends, and of course since her design and transformation ability was based off of her, Emily views Honey as an Aunt of sorts, even to the point of acknowledging her as "Aunt Honey" (though, of course, there aren't any blood (oil?) ties), and loves her very much.

Agnes
When Emily first met Agnes, she felt something... unusual. Her fiery hair, her soft brown eyes, her gentle behavior, something about all of it made Emily feel... well, something she'd never felt before.

Ruri Saotome
Ruri was the first true friend that Emily made outside the "family", and the same is true for Ruri. As such, the two have a strong, sister-like bond.

Usagi Tsukino
Usagi is Emily's best friend, the two (aside from Ruri, of course) often getting into their own side missions while the other Knights are doing more "serious" tasks. She's also very important in Emily's own journey, as Usagi pushing her into trying new things gave her the inspiration to act more independent.

Ayako
At first, Emily had a harder time trusting Ayako than Usagi after how much damage she had done (remember, she was the first of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.'s 'droids to turn to their side). However, she warmed up to her soon enough, and the two formed a solid friendship, mostly thanks to their connections to Usagi.

Tobikage
Of all the droids the Knights faced during their battles with the Renegades, Emily found herself stuck in a rivalry with the organization's own ninja-bot.

Earth-chan
Like the others, Emily showed Earth-chan heavy resistance when she first joined the team, taking much issue with her stubbornness and rejection of any emotion. But like the others, she would lighten up on her & even befriend her later when she learned the value of emotional connections with others.
