I just watched and come to add Emeraldas to "My Favorites Characters" and see that is the same from Galaxy Express 999 "Maetel"...
I don’t know enough about Matsumo Lejii Universe.. but at this OVAs the seem to be different characters :P

If you think Maetel and Emeraldas look the same, it's because they are twin sisters. Granted, most beautiful women in the Leiji universe just end up looking like Maetel anyways.

Taken from wiki:

Emeraldas appeared in the 1978 Space Pirate Captain Harlock television series during flashbacks. She also had a memorable guest appearance in the 1978 Galaxy Express 999 series. This episode, Eternal Traveller Emeraldas, was later turned into an hour long television special expanding on that story. She subsequently appeared as a supporting character in the film Arcadia of My Youth where it is shown how she obtained her facial scar. She also makes brief appearances in Harlock Saga and Cosmo Warrior Zero. Her origin and youth is depicted in Maetel Legend.

As with Harlock and most other characters of the Leijiverse, Emeraldas' appearances in various stories cannot be applied to one consistent timeline. In the 1978 Galaxy Express 999 story, for example, one notable difference from her other depictions is that Emeraldas is suffering from an unknown illness. Her place as captain was taken over by a robot imposter while she was mostly confined to bed. The story suggests that she does not have much longer to live. This illness is alluded to in the recent manga where Emeraldas does not engage in much physical action due to her weakened condition. However, the OVA version shows no sign of any such illness.
