How did Emily look before she died?

Appearance. Emily was a tall and very beautiful young woman who had a slim and graceful figure. It can be assumed that she was just as plain and dull like the rest of the living when she was alive. Bonejangles replies that Emily was a beauty known for miles around.

As a corpse, shes still graceful. Her current only colorful features are her purple lips, in contrast to her monochromatic blue coloring.

After her death, her long wavy hair (which was presumably dark colored) and her once pale skin turned blue while her big eyes became wide and circular with black dots as pupils. They have a gaunt, sunken look after her death. There is a hole in her left cheek that shows that her skin is deteriorating and reveals her white teeth. On her right hand she still has nails. Under her left arm is some exposed muscle, although her actual left arm is only bone. Her right ribs are showing due to the hole in her wedding dress. Her right leg is almost completely bone except for the skin that still covers her foot and her ankle, resembling a baggy sock. The tip of her nose is somewhat skeletal.

Emily wears a strapless dirt stained wedding dress which has a form fitting (likely corseted) bodice that ends in a deep V in the front. The dress belonged to her mother. The dress has a long flowing pleated skirt with a rip up in the middle showing either of her legs. There is light blue filigree on the bottom of the skirt and edging the veil. There are pearls trimming the bottom and top of the bodice. Her tattered veil is attached to a rose crown made of dead blue roses. She also wears tattered fingerless gloves that end to her elbows though her right one appears to be hanging on her wrist. She wears white pumps and white stockings (that have piled at her ankles, due to her skeletal body) to match her wedding dress.

Why did Emily let Victor marry Victoria?

Meanwhile, Victor still wanted to keep his promise to Emily, but she had already decided to let him marry Victoria, since Victoria was happier with him, instead and gave back the ring that Victor accidentally gave her earlier. She then tossed her bouquet of blue roses, which Victoria caught. Emily looks back at the couple with a smile before she walks towards the entrance and then turns into a shower of beautiful blue butterflies while both Victor and Victoria watched her go up to the heavens.

​Powers and Abilities. As a zombie, Emily can teleport to anywhere by crow, phase through walls (hinting she may have some ghost powers) and talk to animals. As she is already dead, she can receive lethal attacks without feeling pain, such as being stabbed. After getting her freedom and finally being at peace, Emily gained the ability to turn herself into a swarm of butterflies, likely symbolizing her ascent into Heaven.

Emily is great at singing and dancing, being skilled at both nostalgic and enthusiastic songs and step-sequences. She also can play the piano in a similar way to Victor, playing solemn to lively tones. All this suggests that she had a considerable education in musical arts.
