When asked who they would want to be friends with if they were in the House, Demizu said she would choose Emma and Lannion first. [51] By the time of 2049, after arriving in the Human World, Emma grows even taller and develops a bigger frame. She begins wearing warm, fur-coats due to living in a very cold place. Since her past memories are gone, her farm identifier ceased as well. [10] Personality Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food, and having a good time – Emma went through the same routine every day in Grace Field House, an orphanage where she lived since the day she was born. Under the loving care of Isabella, who she refers to as " Mom", and the companionship of Norman, Ray, and the other orphans, Emma spent a pleasant childhood in Grace Field. Palvus • Sonju's horse • Cuvitidala Dragon • Minerva's Owl • Ayshe's dogs • Goowee • Marvine • Flying newts • Betty • Oscar • Samuel • Susie • NER After discovering the truth behind the House and Isabella, Ray was the only other person besides Norman that Emma initially put her trust in when they strategized their plan to escape from Grace Field. Even after she found out Ray was the traitor, Emma still embraced Ray as her sibling and best friend and sympathized with him for suffering alone for so long, but she also tells him to never do something in the same manner again. She cares for Ray and his well-being deeply, so she was absolutely against the idea of Ray sacrificing himself to aid in their escape. Although Emma had to sacrifice her ear for Ray, Emma states that it does not matter, as the fact that Ray is happy and alive is more than enough for her. [30]

Shirai describes Emma as energetic, "like light," kind of motherly, and idealistic. She keeps the balance between Norman, who supports her, and Ray, who argues but helps anyway.Due to her capable athleticism, Emma has great physical abilities and amazing reflexes. She has the most energy and best physical capacity out of any of the other orphans in the house. Emma was always the last one to be caught in the hide-and-seek games at Grace Field, only being caught by Norman because of his strategic thinking. When the Emma and her team finally managed to put Ray's escape plan into work, it was, however, foiled by Isabella, as she fractured Emma's leg and revealed how Norman will be the next to be shipped out. Emma is an English name with German roots. It's derived from the Germanic word ermen, meaning "whole" or "universal. Shirai: "Five years old on the inside" and "a girl who is like an innocent boy." I remember requesting "not masculine, but not an object of romantic interest for readers, either."

Even if it’s impossible, I want to escape with everyone. Let’s figure it out! I don’t want all of us to die outside. But it isn’t an option to leave them behind. I want Conny to be the last. I’ll never let anyone end up like that again. If there’s no place for humans to live, then let’s make one outside. Let’s change the world. — Emma to Ray and Norman in " The Best Option"Although the two of them still have disagreements, different world-views, and Ray admitting that he agrees with Norman's plans and doesn't empathize with Emma's doubts, he still decides to follow her in whichever path she chooses and fully supports her. Emma is deeply grateful for this, is appreciative, and feels comfortable having him by her side. [31] Gilda

Emma was born at Grace Field on August 22, 2034. She was sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2035. Under the parental care of Isabella and the happy times she spent with her fellow foster siblings, Emma had a happy childhood. Due to their close age and probably the fact that they are the top students academically, she was exceptionally close to Norman and Ray out of all the orphans at Grace Field. Caring and extroverted, Emma often proves herself to be one of the most reliable orphans and is often seen surrounded by friends. She is known for her incredible ability to learn, capable athleticism, and ample optimism. Alicia • Anna • Chris • Dominic • Don • Emma • Gilda • Jemima • Lannion • Mark • Nat • Ray • Rossi • Thoma • Yvette Emma is an extremely optimistic, loud, and cheerful girl full of life, whose athletic abilities and extroverted nature contracts directly to Norman's weak physique and Ray's introverted nature. [2] Like the rest of her siblings, she enjoys playing games such as tag and hide-and-seek. Emma plays the part as an elder sister figure among her younger ones, and always shows unlimited love and care for her fellow foster siblings. When she discovered Conny's corpse and the truth behind Grace Field and Isabella, Emma underwent an emotional change and decided to never cry again and stay steadfast with her beliefs and decisions. [11] Following this event, Emma's desire to escape is fueled by her love for her family; refusing to leave anyone behind since she doesn't want her siblings to suffer the same fate as Conny, showing the compassion, selfless, and altruistic side of her. She is also shown to be very forgiving, as she doesn't think any less of Ray for being the “traitor”, still embraces him as a friend, and sympathizes with him. According to Krone, Emma always thinks of others before herself, so much that she dilutes her chances to save herself by refusing to leave any of her family behind. [12] She is also shown to be impulsive, brave, determined, and dauntless, as she willingly puts herself in harm's way to protect her family and even strangers without any hesitation. [13]

The team and the plan began to fall apart, with Norman being sent off from Grace Field; Ray excluding himself in aiding the plan; Emma falling into depression whilst being immobilized to help; and Isabella's success in beating them. Months passed as the remaining four orphans resumed their daily routine in Grace Field and maintained the innocent demeanor they once had.

Emma was initially intimidated by Sonju due to him being a demon, but nonetheless warms up to him once she gets to know him. It also puts her at ease that he apparently doesn't eat human meat, which re-shaped Emma's views on demons as a whole. [35] Emma respects Sonju greatly, holds him in high regard, and is confident in his skills and abilities. Because of this, Sonju was the one who Emma asked to teach her how to hunt. [39] Because of how much he has taught her about hunting, survival skills, and the outside world, as well as provided their family hospitality and help. Emma calls Sonju and Mujika their saviors and dear friends. This is why she is absolutely against Norman's plan of exterminating the demons, claiming that she will never let Sonju or Mujika get killed, [37] showcasing how much she cares for him. Emma also admits that her reason for not wanting to kill all demons is because of meeting Sonju and Mujika. Because of this, Emma developed the thought that if she was dying, she would be fine with either of them eating her. Although it is known that Sonju has a desire to prey on "wild" humans not raised in the farms in the future again, [36] he is visibly vexed by Emma's words and has seemingly changed his mind about this matter. [35] Yugo Two years pass and "Emma" mentions that she knows that she wouldn't regain her memories or remember who she was before. However, she also states that she is okay with it, especially since her recurring dreams had ceased. She continues living happily with the elderly man, whom became a foster father for her of a sort. She receives a new name and finds herself a new identity. Emma's mark was removed/taken from her as a result of the new promise, whereas Ayshe avoided getting one altogether thanks to her adoptive father taking her in before the branding process begun. Demizu: I wanted to make her lively and a bit androgynous. I had various ideas for her hairstyle, but it was decided from the start that it would be short. I like girls with long hair, too, so I also had a concept for Emma with a ponytail. When they are reunited two years later and Emma comes to the realization that Norman was, in fact, alive, she breaks down in tears and hugs him out of joy. It is proved that there was no rift created between them despite the long time they didn't see each other. Emma states that she is happy that he hasn't changed, will be able to see him every day, and most importantly, that he is alive and well. [27]
