- ―Yellow Samurai Ranger's Roll Call[src]
Emily is Samurai Ranger Earth, the Yellow Samurai Ranger of the Samurai Rangers. She is innocent, sweet and the youngest of the Rangers. As Yellow Ranger, she pilots the Ape FoldingZord and controls the element of Earth.
Emily is a sweet, innocent country girl who was never supposed to be the Yellow Samurai Power Ranger. It was her older sister, Serena, who was destined for the squad, but an illness forced Emily to take her place. Although she is a bit of a fish out of water, the passion of the team and the bustle of the city inspires Emily to train hard and make her sister proud.
History[]
Samurai[]
In "Sticks and Stones", it was revealed that, as a young girl, Emily was said to be a crybaby and was often picked on by her peers. When her sister, who was originally going to be the Yellow Ranger, got ill, Emily was chosen as the Yellow Ranger, and promised not to cry ever again. This helped her teach her teammates how to not be affected by Negatron.
She joins the team in "Origins", and her best friend ends up being Mia, the Pink Samurai Ranger.
It's often seen she may have a crush on Mike, the Green Samurai Ranger. Near the end of "Clash of the Red Rangers", Scott, Ranger Operator Series Red, told Mike that he "sees the way Emily looks at Mike".
Super Samurai[]
She later on helps Mike fight a Nighlok, when the other Rangers are swapped with inanimate objects, when the Nighlok grew, Mike used the Black Box and summoned the Claw Armor Megazord. They agree to "never fight another Nighlok together alone again". TV STORY-Trading Places
Her greatest time to shine came when a Nighlok caused extreme hunger and thirst in all the Rangers, save for her. She battled the Nighlok one-on-one, proving she's tough, and a strong fighter, even without the others. During this battle, she used the Black Box for the first time. TV STORY-The Strange Case of the Munchies
In "Samurai Forever", after defeating Master Xandred along with her team, Emily goes home to take care of Serena at home. Mike goes with Emily to "help her move things." But it is unknown if they started dating since they hold hands at the end.

Tommy gathered all the existing Power Rangers, Emily and the other Samurai Rangers returned as part of the army of Legendary Rangers that helped the Mega Rangers defeat the Armada once and for all, Emily was one of the Rangers who saluted the Mega Rangers before fighting in a huge battle against hundreds of X Borgs and dozens of Bruisers. After the demise of the X Borgs, Tommy shook hands with Troy and teleported off along with Emily and the Legendary Rangers. TV STORY-Legendary Battle
Dino Fury[]
When Zayto suggests they use the Legendary Database and find a weapon from the Ranger legacy to use against Wreckmate. Looking at the Database, Zayto suggests building Jayden’s Fire Smasher due to its enormous size and power. Emily and the other Samurai Rangers are seen in the archive footage during the battle against Tooya. However, Solon says she does not have the means to make a Power Disc to harness its full power. TV STORY-The Festival
Zayto activates the Legendary Ranger Database, showing Master Blue that Master Green came to them after the Dinohenge statues were destroyed and restored them to normal. Also, Zayto says that he found Ranger teams who were saved in their darkest moments through unexplained reasons and shows them three specific moments. Including the Legendary Battle where all the Legendary Rangers including Emily and the other Samurai Rangers coming to the aid of the Megaforce Rangers in the Legendary Battle and helping them defeat an entire army of the Armada's X Borgs.

Personality[]
Emily is innocent, sweet, tomboyish and the youngest of the Rangers. As Yellow Ranger, she pilots the Ape FoldingZord and controls the element of Earth. Having grown up teased due to her tendency to cry, Emily tends to be shy around others. She suffers from a lack of self-confidence and as a result doesn't say much despite her desire to help those around her. Her sister Serena taught Emily how to de-sensitize herself to criticism. While the insults do hurt her, Emily is able to steel herself past all manner of degradation to achieve her current objective. Emily has also demonstrated moderate acting ability; as seen during her dealings with Bulk and Spike.
She seems to have a romantic interest in her friend and ally Mike.
Imitations[]
