I'm not sure if it's the person who nominated the character to speak, but since the person who nominated my character is banned, I figured I'd step in with my two cents.

Personally, all the other nominees are so much cooler so I'm not going to say anything about them. But I'd figure I'd defend my case for Emily.

First off, how often do you see a skeleton executed as decent as Emily? Sure, she has some flaws, but compared to other skeletons out there (like on deviantArt or something), Emily does a fine job; no longer related to Papyrus and Sans, enjoys candy, generally happy but does experience other emotions, best friends with a robot, and a mechanic. She shows it's okay to have a delightful, cheery and bubbly skeleton if executed well.

Also, I agree with Paperjam!Sans. It is quite nice to have a gay character (representation is important), however, how often do you see an Aromantic Asexual character that's not "weird, confused, unsure" and portrayed as just a regular person? (Trust me, asexual representation is not as huge as homosexual representation). Emily sets a good example of that, as she teaches it is okay not to have romantic interests, for those who don't experience romantic and/or sexual feelings (even though sexual stuff is permitted, I figured I'd point it out).

As bias as I may sound, I don't think I can find a weakness for her not getting in. So if someone would like to provide a weakness, they can.

Good luck to everyone!!
