Distinguishing
Not to be confused with Emily. |
|---|
Emily K. Herder is a recurring character in Bluey.
Appearance[]
Emily has black fur. She shares a body type with Rusty. She has a tan upper-muzzle, inner ears, limb markings, and chest heart. She also has a black nose.
Personality[]
As a 7 year old, she tries to be helpful as much as she can, but it ends up just being annoying.
As a 26 year old, she still has a very big heart, and she’s known for her love of activity yet fear of crowds. This can be a bit challenging for her.
She is emetophobic.
Despite her gluten intolerance, she loves bread. This leads to burping in a similar fashion to how sauerkraut affects Bandit.
She is almost constantly smiling to hide her emotional pain. Sometimes she still cracks, however. Despite this, in Bluey: All Grown Up, she has healed somewhat (emotionally and physically), and doesn't bottle her emotions anymore.

- In the short Fight or Flight, the opening to Fancy Restaurant is shown, but during the title card, Emily interrupts by peeking her head up from the bottom of the title card and saying “NO!” before tearing down the title card, startling the Heeler family. This is a reference to the episodes Ticklecrabs and The Sleepover.
