Emmy is the titular character of Dominic Cellini's webcomic series Emmy the Robot. She is a "Nandroid", a line of robotic maidservants developed by the company Sterling Robotics to provide care for human families and children. The comic so far shows Emmy's training and her eventual assignment as caretaker for the Delaire family and their daughter Madeline. The series has been positively received for its art and wholesome tone. It also became popular in the /co/ board where plenty of nandroid-related fanart was (and still continues to be) produced, thus necessitating the creation of a dedicated Nandroid booru site.
Emmy has appeared in one Ms. /co/ntest, reaching the second round in 2020. She will be eligible in the 2021 edition.
Tournament history
Emmy ironically has a controversial history in Ms. /co/. She was a FOTM girl during the 2019 tournament, but her eligibility was questioned by several users because of a relative lack of official Emmy-related material at that time. The contest's OP ultimately decided to allow her in, using "Dominic Cellini art" as the source name because her series didn't have an official title yet. Emmy managed to amass 50 votes in the qualifiers, but it wasn't enough for her to advance to the main bracket.
The nandroid's first real bracket appearance happened in Ms. /co/ 2020, securing an impressive 5th seed. During the first round however, she became the centerpiece of yet another controversy: an anonymous user known as "Basilanon" -- named for their use of a Detective Basil picture -- discovered that Random Cartoon, a Peruvian Facebook page known for stealing art, had posted links to the Ms. /co/ threads calling to vote for Emmy (and to a lesser extent Miko). Since outside brigading is frowned upon in online popularity contests, Basilanon's revelation caused an uproar in the Ms. /co/ threads, with some users calling for Emmy to be disqualified. In the end, the host Stats anon decided to let the voting run its course. The backlash impacted Emmy's campaign, causing her to be voted out in the following round banished to Peru following a loss to Gwenpool.
In addition to the Facebook brigade, the nandroid has been subject to hateposting and anti-Emmy propaganda from the infamous user known as Fusefag.[1] She has been also linked to the /pol/ board for inexplicable reasons.
The controversy has inspired several fanarts such as a mock Wikipedia-styled infobox depicting the "Battle of Round 1", and caused Emmy to be associated with Peru in Ms. /co/ lore.
