Emily the Stirling Engine (Seasons 7, 11, 17-24)

Emily the Stirling Engine is an anthropomorphic Stirling Single tender engine who works on the Main Line and is a supporting character in the British TV series, Thomas and Friends.

Why She Rocks

 * 1) She is one of the most iconic engines on the show.
 * 2) Emily is portrayed as a kind, helpful, mature and supportive older sister figure, making her likable and is what made her a fan favorite.
 * 3) She has a nice character design.
 * 4) Emily has shown herself to do many good things, such as being the "voice of reason", or helping other people.
 * 5) In "What's the Matter With Henry?", she realized that Henry was not feeling well, so she decided to help him get the job done.
 * 6) In "A Blooming Mess", seeing Mavis feeling down (she assumed she was sad), she tried to make her feel better. Let it be known, this happened during her flanderization.
 * 7) In her debut episode, She saved Oliver from nearly being crashed by Thomas.
 * 8) She is voiced brilliantly by Jules de Jongh and Teresa Gallagher.
 * 9) Like Thomas, when she sees the trouble she caused, she will usually strive to fix it immediately, showing she can learn from her mistakes.
 * 10) She is shown to get along well with other engines like him too.
 * 11) Her friendship with Nia and Rebecca is shown to be interesting, considering that they're the only female engines on the Steam Team.
 * 12) Emily cares for her friends at Tidmouth Sheds and hates seeing them feeling down.
 * 13) Her whistle like other engines, feels nice.
 * 14) Even during her flanderization, she can still have her likable moments at times.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She was horribly flanderized in Seasons 8-10 and 12-16 as she became bossy, impatient, rude, naggy and disrespectful to others. Thankfully, she majorly redeemed herself in Season 17 after her flanderization in Seasons 8-16.
 * 2) She was very unlikable in Calling All Engines as she was constantly rude to Thomas in her shed and would always wish it was for herself.
