Emilia's canon spans three games: Yggdra Union, Blaze Union, and Yggdra Unison. Since DDD happens to have one of her canonmates already, she will be taken from the second half of Blaze Union to match his timeline.
History: Since she doesn't have much screen time up until she actually joins the party in Blaze Union, we don't know that much about Emilia's backstory.
However, what we do know is this:
Emilia was born out of wedlock in the year 1476 MD. Her father and his real wife had separated at the time, and the circumstances under which he and her mother had their affair is unknown. Her father already had one legitimate child, a son named Gulcasa who happened to be six years Emilia's elder.
Through some lucky or unlucky circumstance, Emilia inherited the blood of the demonic dragon Brongaa, a creature which was worshipped as a god in her country, the Empire of Bronquia. Long ago, Brongaa made a contract with the clan of humans who established the empire, and that contract changed the chemistry of their bodies in order to make them demons as well. Since that time, the blood of that family became very diluted and spread throughout the populace, so that the phenomenon of children being born with Brongaa's blood was about twice as rare as that of "gifted children" in our world--which is to say this kind of thing was unusual, but not unheard-of at all.
Brongaa's power manifests in spurts of destructive energy that halo the user in fire, causing their skin tone to darken significantly and their physical strength to increase drastically. Their temperament may also take a swing towards the violent, and those who cannot control their powers may eventually go mad and start indiscriminate massacres. These techniques are honed in a special ability called Genocide, which drains the strength of the user's allies, dampens enemy magic, and adds to the user's strength exponentially.
As Brongaa's descendants tend to be seen as good weapons to be used by the manipulative, and learning to control all that power is a difficult thing in modern times when there aren't necessarily people equipped to teach that control, young Emilia's abilities probably caused her mother some degree of worry. At some point, a priestess named Baretreenu (actually Gulcasa's mother) visited Emilia and her mother and put a strong magical seal on Emilia's abilities, reducing her to the level of an ordinary, powerless human. To complete the seal, Baretreenu gave Emilia a false name, "Eimi". This was the key that kept the seal functional, and if the seal were to be weakened by mental stress, Emilia would be able to break it by starting to use her true name instead.
We also know that at some point, both Emilia's oft-absent father and her mother passed away from unknown circumstances. At about this same time, Emilia was told of her half-brother's existence. Not knowing Gulcasa's description or his whereabouts, yet deciding that trying to find him would be better than just awaiting her fate as an orphan, Emilia struck out on a journey throughout the vast country of Bronquia in search of him.
It is not clear how long ago this journey began, but when Blaze Union itself begins, Emilia is eleven years old, and has taken up temporary residence with an entertainer living in the town of Tiera. She is still calling herself Eimi at this time.
Unfortunately for all parties involved, the entertainer whose house Emilia is crashing at is currently deep in debt (as are many poor in this town) to a man named Norn, a wealthy and corrupt merchant with connections to the slave trade. Even more unfortunately, she is present when Norn comes to collect. The entertainer tells Emilia to hide, but when Norn orders his soldiers to search the house, they find her and bring her out. Upon learning that the two aren't related, Norn decides to take her for himself and sell her as a slave.
