===The 2020 Fiasco===
Now with a proper serialized webcomic at her side, Emmy returned in the [[Ms. /co/ 2020|2020 contest]] with high hopes of qualifying. However, she was targeted throughout the whole tournament by a noted troll (

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 <s>voted out in the following round</s> banished to Peru following a loss to [[Gwenpool]].▼

===Lore===
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.
