“Will you stop standing there and find me some fucking shoes?!”
— Emma to Michael
Emma Jaunt is a survivor featured in Dead Island 2.
Background[]
The Slayer first meets Emma after the plane crash at the start of the game. Afterwards, she can be found at her home in Bel-Air, which serves as a safe zone.
Emma is a famous actress well known for her lead roles in fantasy, sci-fi, and horror movies. She was married to actor Robert Steele, but they did not really love each other or get along. She was close friends with her assistant, Michael Anders, and housekeeper Andrea Salazar. However, Emma became spoiled and mean throughout the years due to fame, which strained her friendship with Andrea.
Emma was in a relationship with Sam B prior to his travelling to Banoi Island. They eventually broke up when Sam left one day and never came back, as he still wanted to make songs and get famous.[1] She never got over him.
During the start of the outbreak, Emma, Robert, and Michael pack their things and leave Andrea behind in Emma's mansion. Robert bribes a guard to let them on the evacuation flight without inspection, but when the plane takes off, it is revealed that Robert was actually infected, attacking a fangirl as she asked for a picture. The plane was soon shot down by the military, and Emma and Michael survived the crash, along with Ronnie Redford, and eventually met the slayers.
Appearance[]
Emma is a middle-aged woman with short brown hair. She wears a white button-up shirt, navy blue slacks, and black pumps.[2] In Flight of the Damned, she wore black high heels, but removed them after losing one in the crash.[3]
Trivia[]
- Her past relationship with Sam B was hinted at on the Dead Island website.
- Despite having a huge impact on Sam's life, she is never mentioned by him in any of the original Dead Island games. A likely reason for that is Emma not having been conceived as a character until Dambuster Studios took over the development of Dead Island 2, the title in question serving as a soft reboot of the Dead Island series under the direction of said developer.
- She had a dog she named after Sam that Robert shot and killed for sleeping on the couch.[4] Ironically, Sam B would end up sleeping on that same couch.
- Near the end of the game and after their fight, Emma decides to give Andrea her house as an apology for her cruel behavior.
- She keeps her dog's collar lying around.
- Robert has the same surname as Emma's voice actress. It is unknown if this is a reference or a coincidence.
