Full name: Emma Maigret Age: 16 Height: 164 cm Hometown: Lumiose City, Kalos region Hobbies: Trying out sweets Friends: Mimi

Emma is a teenage girl with curly long black hair, tied in pigtails. She has violet eyes and dark skin. She wears a ragged blue blouse with white collar, orange skirt, ragged black pants, and orange shoes. Her blouse have a yellow patch that shaped like an "M" letter.

She have an alter ego named "Essentia". As Essentia, Emma wears a black sleeveless combat suit, a pair of black high heels and gloves. She also wears an electronic helmet, which glows out an "E" letter.

Emma is an energetic girl who loves Pokemon and she doesn't open up to people much unless she knows they can trusted. She is also naive, falling into the tricks of Xerosic into becoming his test subject. Once Xerosic was arrested by Looker, she became Looker's adoptive daughter and gained a sense of justice from him. She would protect Lumiose City under the alias of "Essentia".

Looker, Emma's adoptive father, is a member of International Police who opened his own detective agency called "Looker Bureau" in Lumiose City. He have a great sense of justice and won't forgive criminals. He always does his best to keep to society peaceful. Emma always calls Looker "Mr. Looker".

Mimi is a female Espurr who is Emma's best friend. Mimi is shy and she is sacred of adults, but she does care for Emma and can protect her with her psychic abilities. Emma first met Mimi when Emma ran away from her home and found the little Espurr wandering around Lumiose City. Emma sees Mimi as a friend instead of her own Pokemon.

Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of Lumiose City with her Espurr friend Mimi. She ran away from her birth to escape her abusive parents. She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy Poké Balls. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the Looker Bureau and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical Tourist angrily shouting insults in a foreign language about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking in the language of the tourist, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the Lumiose Station. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his only Pokémon died during a past case. The culprits at the station turn out to be the Lumiose Gang, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.

Emma steadily grows worried that she and Mimi are a financial burden on Looker, though he assures her that they have enough money to get by and encourages her to focus on her studies. Still feeling guilty, Emma sets off to look for part-time work at a café that she saw was hiring. It turns out that the café was actually Lysandre Café and Emma was tricked into being a test subject for Xerosic's invention, the Expansion Suit. This leads to her disappearing for long stretches of time, which worries Looker greatly. Xerosic is one of Team Flare's head scientists and admins.

When in the Expansion Suit, Emma is given the codename Essentia The suit enhances her physical abilities to superhuman levels, gives her the ability to override a Poké Ball's programming, and allows her to change her appearance. While running his tests, Xerosic finds that Emma has no experience as a Trainer and teaches her the basics, also allowing her to borrow his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon prefer playing with Emma instead of battling, which forces Xerosic to control the suit remotely. Emma falls unconscious while the remote-control function is engaged, and she has no memory of anything that happens while she is "asleep".

During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command like stealing painting and people's Pokemon. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.

The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After the player defeats Essentia in a series of battles, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.

After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the International Police and that he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to ensure that she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. As the new head detective, Emma vows to keep Lumiose City safe with her identity as Essentia, using the suit and Pokémon that Xerosic gave her.

After that, Emma became Looker's adoptive daughter and often helps her foster father with his missions. She sometimes takes to position of head of Looker Bureau when Looker isn't around.

She owns many Pokemon, which are given from Xerosic when she was his test subject. These Pokemon includes Crobat, Jellicent, Volcarona, Whimsicott, Mawile, Granbull, Persian, Malamar and Trevenant. She stills use these Pokemon even when she's not under Xerosic's control anymore and uses them in her missions as Lumiose City's hero. She also befriended a female Espurr named Mimi.
