I might have to rewatch her scenes again, but Emerald actually struck me as lacking confidence. When Tukson went to attack her, she actually looked uneasy, even scared, and she doesn't seem to have Mercury's arrogant mannerisms when in battle. Same with the Grimm; she never (although maybe I missed it) looked cocky to me, and the only time she broke her focus was when the Grimm got in close. I never noticed her seeming arrogant, but she has had moments of fear and unease. It seems to me that Emerald is too smart and too in awe of Cinder's strength and cunning to overestimate her own capabilities. Not as a fighter, at least; perhaps as a thief.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to her speculation, especially in regards to her relationship with Cinder. Emerald's admiration was incredibly obvious, and I wonder how it will develop.
