brown paper bag:
Pretty much all the main characters started out with some defining quirk that was supplemented by a developing personality. We had Dora starting out as an over the top flirty goth, Faye was a broken girl who was aggressive and punched Marten a lot because she had a crush and that makes physical assault okay, Hannelore was just a basket case who usually didn't even need provocation to freak out. They all got more interesting over time, became more nuanced with realistic human personalities. Marigold grew away from being a stuck-up douchy gamer nerd. Wil went from overly dramatic poet to a relatively temperate barkeep. Even Clinton went from a total creep with no sense of personal space to a protective brother and relatively agreeable guy to hang out with.

Then we have Emily. She started out a bit weird and enjoyed squashed bananas in a glass but was generally friendly and kind. Now crazy is her thing. Craaaazyyyyyyyy.

We don't know what, if any, mental issues Emily has.  She just might be a bit odd.  The issues of most other characters have been explored already.  Despite her strangeness, she's competent enough at her job, as well as her major, is relatively happy, compared to most of the main cast, and can function, even if it's only in her unique way.

Nyithra:
Doesn't this seem a little over the top, even for Emily?

Certainly my notion.  Emily's always been endearingly loopy, but I don't care much for the last two strips' worth of padded cell, batshit-insane.

SubaruStephen:
Maybe she's on a new medication and needs to lower the dose?
That would explain the increase in weirdness as the stuff would take a while to reach full strength.
