Nothing's been stated in the show about Emerald's background, all we have some of the lyrics from her and Mercury's theme song, "I'm the One".

I'm the one, who rose out of filth and was loved by no one.

So, it's possible Emerald was abandoned by her family and thus forced to live on the streets, relying on no one but herself. And then Cinder came into her life, and nothing has ever been the same.

And I agree with Not my name about her being less redeemable than Mercury, since we've seen the evil she's done, which is far worse than anything Mercury has done onscreen. And I foreseeing going down an even darker path, possibly targeting Yang for Cinder's death since the former returned from the Vault while the latter did not. So she may be beyond redemption at this point, which is fine by me since I despise her as a character. I certainly won't miss her when she's gone, same with Cinder.
