Emeralda's story is complicated, and very sad. She was created four thousand years ago by a scientist named "Kim" to be the hope of mankind. Back then, inherited genetic damage was preventing the human race from reproducing, shortening the life span, and causing widespread panic throughout the Zeboim civilization. Kim combined a group of nanomachine colonies with his DNA and that of his wife's (Elly) to create Emeralda -- the archtype of humanity. She was a pure, untainted creature; humanity's 'salvation'. Unfortunately, someone learned of Emeralda's true nature and purpose, and they attacked Kim's facility in order to get their hands on her. She watched as Elly was killed trying to protect her, and as Kim locked her into the criochamber and put her to sleep. (I don't think she saw him die.) Emeralda remained asleep in her hiding place until Fei's friends (a group led by Billy at the time) released her from her sleep. She was then taken by Bishop Stone and turned over to Krelian for testing despite all Billy and the others could do. When she met the companions again, before one of the Solaris Gates, she was their enemy, fighting them in Crescens to provide Krelian's 'associates' with the last bit of data they needed from her. Afterword, they left her to Fei, and he took her in as a part of the team. Aside from the strange habit of calling Fei "Kim", or "Fei's Kim" (is this an error in translation?), she fits in rather well. If you notice, her abilities are very similar to Elly's, and later in the game, replace them. (Everything below is either speculation or my opinion) Nothing is stranger than watching Emerauda morph her body parts into weapons. ^^ It's almost creepy. But I guess that's the advantage to being a nanomachine colony...... She can regenerate anything attached to her body, although I think she can only grow it back to the original "program" in her cells. In other words, she can't really change her appearence permanently, only restore it to what it was. Well, Emerauda is a good character. Her deathblows are all relatively strong, and her elemental ether attacks are just as powerful as Elly's, if not more so -- she just doesn't know as many. Crescens is faster than any other gear in the party, and it is right behind Shitan's Fenrir in terms of strength. I would love to see the kind of damage she would cause with an Omega engine...... ^_~
