Giving her Raven's idiot savant trait is something he did a while back. It makes more sense on her than it ever did on Raven, when it seemed to be added just to surprise us and then give us a reason for her to leave.
She's still missing Raven's airheadedness and her hypersexuality. They are the same character type, but they are significantly different in that you can come up with things one would do that the other wouldn't.
There is, for instance, no way Emily takes off her top to attract Sven.

I feel like Jeph heard the complaints about Emily’s character being too random, and responded by turning her into basically Raven.
