Right now Emerald doesn't have motivations to turn good and without knowing what motivates her to be evil, guessing at what would cause her to switch sides is just guessing. However, I think her interaction with RWBY will beging to change her character. Mercury, not so much. For one, there's the implication that she's looking for acknowledgement from Cinder.

If Cinder crosses a certain line that Em would not dare cross, that's where her potential to turn good comes in.

For now, just keep this theory at the back of your head.
