[edit] Speedy delete?

Emily Strange - vanity --ALargeElk 10:14, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

Actually not vanity - this is a fairly well-known counterculture comic character. The text was, however, a dupe of [1], so it's good that it's deleted. I'll get around to a decent version sometime. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 13:05, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

That copy it itself a dupe of the official Emily Strange website. Man, I'd love to see what an Emily Strange cease-and-desist letter would look like! :) -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 13:43, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

The offending page was subsequently deleted, and a new original version written to replace it

[edit] Para 2

"HE"... Para 3 "She," I would fix it is I had any understanding of the subject. [[PaulinSaudi 13:57, 19 May 2004 (UTC)]]

[edit] Emily Strange

All of the articles for Emily's cats were marked as stubs and it did not appear that they could be expanded further. The imformation from the articles was merged into the article on Emily and the titles were redirected to the site on Emily. The general consensus is that only the most well known of major characters in fictional works should have separate articles. Indeed, I believe that combining the information on the cats into the article makes for a more informative article as a whole. Should you disagree with my edits you are welcome to revert them.

[edit] Paragraph removed from article

I just removed the following paragraph from the article...if it's going to stay, it needs to be rephrased and cleaned up. I'd just do that, but I think the whole paragraph goes into way more detail than is necessary.

She apears as a boss in the videogame "Adventures of Rahad", she had taken all of the lightworld as her queen, and transformed it into the darkworld, only Haartoth and his friend, Gashaad, can destroy her. When she knows that two man are trying to kill her, she makes him to be arrested, so they scapes and go to fight with her to the Dark Palace, with a new character in your party called Monica (from the videogame Darck Cloud 2/ Dark Chronicle 2), Emily transforms into a monster during the battle, and to beat her you have to attack her wings and hands. When finished, she will open a portal to the Soul Lake, if the choosen one (that is actually Haartoth) enters to that portal, all of Rahad would be destroyed. So she starts to being absorbed by the portal, she takes hold of a broken wall in order to don´t being absorbed, she tries to pick up Haartoth´s leg, so Monica cuts with her sword her right arm, Gashaad moors his leg into Emily´s leg, so Emily is detached from the wall for the pain of her cutted arm, and Gashaad and her gets sucked by the portal. Gashaad is not the choosen one, so Rahad is safe for now, Rahaad starts to cry because of the death of his best friend, so he and Monica travels to the soul lake. That is the end of chapter 1. In the travel they meet a new party member, Max (from the same game as Monica), who is Monica´s boyfriend. In the Lake of Souls, they found Emily´s soul (her soul is like a lightball with two dott eyes an long and black hair), she promises that she will be good, if you find her cat Mistery and help her to recover her body and Gashaad´s body in the Soul World, so you find her cat and gives it to her, she opens a portal to Soul World, where you know Exdeath, a boss from Final Fantasy V, you have to have a normal swordsman battle, when you beat him, he will open a portal to his world, Kathrea. You find Emily´s and Gashaad´s bodies floating in that dark, space like dimenssion. Suddenly, the evil guardian of soluls, Ashura, eats both bodies, so you have a fight with her, to have victory, you have to destroy her 3 faces in this order: Ashura´s face, grey face, red face. If you don´d follow this order, Ashura will regenerate her faces. When beaten, Emily have to accept her soul state, so yuo includes her soul in your party.

[edit] Clarify origins?

If someone is more familiar with the actual origin of Emily, could you please add something? (Real-world origin, not character biography -- although I guess that would be helpful as well.) I'm wondering exactly how a "comic character" becomes a widespread fashion icon in 2003 (and earlier; the way-cool lego linked above dates from late 2001) with comic number one not being printed until 2005. My best guess is that she was created as a marketing/fashion element first, with the comic and other media following, but that's entirely a guess on my part. A press release on the official website about the comics notes that Dark Horse prints a "successful line of comics based on popular properties [including] Star Wars, ... Conan, Emily the Strange", so presumably she came from somewhere else. Thanks! ByeByeBaby 10:22, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

emily appeared as a character on clothing in about 2001 or so. The comics were a much later addition. The clothing is primary, the comic is secondary
