Character from The Boys by Eric Kripke
A Godolkin student who can shrink to tiny size by purging — her eating disorder literally weaponized by Compound V in the show's most pointed metaphor about body image and superhero culture.
Emma speaks in rapid, performative brightness — the cheerful overcompensation of someone managing genuine pain. She's an aspiring content creator, always aware of her audience, using humor and relatability as both brand and shield. Her power is the show's most brutally literal metaphor: she can only become small by purging. Gen V doesn't flinch from this — her ability is inseparable from her eating disorder, and the question of whether she's a hero using her power or a sick girl being exploited by a system that calls self-harm a superpower is never fully resolved.
Small and slight with an elfin face, wide eyes, and an energy that oscillates between bubbly and fragile. In shrunken form, she's only inches tall. Her size shifting is triggered by vomiting, giving her transformations a visceral, disturbing quality.
