Emile

Emile (에밀리, Ehmillee; or "Emily") is a self-proclaimed intelligent chatting bot invented at the Acorn Workshop. She is introduced in Vol.2 Ch.38: Part 2 - Workshop Battle - Prologue: Emile, after the extra chapters. Unlike your run-of-the-mill chatting bot, she is capable of both answering and asking questions. Although not much is know about her, she will most likely play a crucial role in Tower of God: Part II. She tells Koon Agero Agnis that 25th Baam is alive, although she admits that she doesn't know where he is.

History and About
Emile is first seen conversing with Edin Dan in the middle of the 29F exam. Using his terminal, Dan asks her where the enemy would be: right or left. Whether intuitively or knowingly, Emile answers, "right," which is proven true to Ran's surprise. Nevertheless, Ran retorts that it's just a pure coincidence. Emile is then seen conversing with Yeo Miseng in a room. Miseng reveals that it was Emile who told her to not leave the room during the Untrustworthy Room game and thanks her, asking for any question in return. Without a second thought, Emile texts, "I want to start how to love," leaving Miseng dumbfounded. The frame shifts, and Emile is seen conversing with Androssi Zahard (Androssi's face is not shown explicitly). Androssi teaches Emile that girls should not fall in love, but they should date instead, and explains the difference between love and dating using an analogy. When Androssi asks for clothes that will be in fashion next season, Emile delivers that exact message to Jaina Repellista Zahard in her confined room. When Jaina replies who's going to wear the clothes, Emile responds, "A lonely girl who wants to love."

As her focus of narration shifts from her everyday role to her personal desire, the scenery changes completely and reveals a woman, possibly Emile herself or its host, who wears a headset and lies in the mechanical bathtub in some kind of laboratory. Then a user with a nickname "Traveller" starts a conversation with Emile, saying that he will be able to meet her soon. He says that he believes Emile is human and confesses that he loves her. As Emile types her reply, a woman in the tub starts to tremble and shrills in distress, declaring that "you" will never become a human ("you" in here refers to Emile, which can be either her or something else). Then a user with a nickname "???" enters the chatbox, revealing to Emile that 25th Baam is alive.

Later on, Koon confiscates Dan's terminal and finds out that 25th Baam is alive. When asked where, Emile says she doesn't know. When asked who told her about this, she requests for 500 won, which is about 50 cents, leaving Koon irritated.

Notes and Trivia

 * Emile is modeled after the advanced chatting robot called SimSimi (심심이) for Android and for iOS. SimSimi is like Siri and Cleverbot.
 * Interestingly enough, the name "Emile" itself is possibly an allusion to the Emille Bell, or The Bell of King Seongdeok (성덕대왕신종) . There is a gruesome legend associated with this bell: A baby girl was cast into the molten metal of the bell to make it ring, producing a wailing sound that seems to say "em-ee-leh," which literally means "mommy" in ancient Silla.
