Biography
Early Life
Emilia was an obese girl in kindergarten. She had no other friends except for Robert, another obese schoolmate. They were often bullied by their schoolmates because of their obesity.
Emilia liked to eat sugary and unhealthy food while she was little which caused her obesity. Because of the constant bullying, she started eating less and developed a fear of sugary things as she thought that eating sugar would instantly make her fat.
She has now overcame her phobia and is able to eat healthily with the help of her friends after the events of Healthy Pretty Girls.
Reaching for the Stars: Friendship
Healthy Pretty Girls: Diet
It started at the school field with Joni playing volleyball with the other classmates. Mia was tired, so she wanted to take a break for awhile, and accompany Emilia to read.
Then, the sports club captain, Corey approached. He told them to continue playing, but instead Emilia objects it because her body will stay fit. After Emilia finished, they stood in silence.
After school, Mia told Emilia if she was being mean to Corey, but then Emilia, being cold-brain and intractable that she didn't and it's Corey's fault. Joni still want to know the story of what did they talking about (maybe being a busybody). Then Emilia changed the topic, forgotten that her dad just bought a WII, and asked if they can come to play. Joni agrees, and Mia looks fine with it.
At Emilia's house, Joni loss the game, while Mia won. Joni seems to cry, but then Emilia appears telling them that the maid has prepared snacks. Joni thinks that Emilia always have luxurious, rich snacks for tea, but it's not what she expected. There's healthy wheatgrass juice and sugar-free wholemeal biscuits. Joni isn't satisfied, but then Emilia explains that sugar does nothing but to harm our body. Mia asks her if she ate like this since she was small, then Emilia make a silence for a while, and continued by saying that she does.
In the evening, on the way to their home, Mia and Joni saw a pretty and cute sweets shop called "Candy Bakery". They came inside, and saw many yummy cakes and pastries. But Joni didn't have enough money, so Mia suggested to share a slice. Joni then smiled, and agrees with Mia's suggestion. A costumer came, and he wanted to buy four whole cakes, and one slice of each other cakes. Joni and Mia were shocked.
Next day at school, Joni was about to explain the whole thing happened after she and Mia left her house, but then the bell rang. Miss Miyuki came in, and she told the class that there's a new classmate joining them. The class chattered, and then a boy with big and wide body came in. He introduced himself as Robert. Joni shouted that he's the guy she and Mia saw in the bakery yesterday.
