Emerald's going to turn good eventually (no idea how long it'll take though), and Mercury just does whatever he wants. I don't see her as an Aladdin because Aladdin was good from the beginning and just stole to avoid starving - the current Emerald on the other hand, will probably strangle a baby if Cinder asks her to do it. Not similar at all in my opinion.
