Profile[]
Introduction[]
Trails of Cold Steel[]
A scholarship student from the outskirts of the Empire, with striking glasses and neat braids. As a caring class president, she is trusted by everyone in her class, regardless of their social status. Although she is of commoner origin and her family not quite wealthy, she was aiming for higher education, so she enrolled with excellent grades at the Military Academy. She has a wealth of knowledge about herbs that she learned from her grandmother, and is also well-versed in old folklore and spells. She seems to keep a cat, whose existence she keeps secret from those who live in the dorm...[1]
Trails of Cold Steel II[]
A witch of the Hexen Clan, "something of a sister" to Ouroboros' Vita Clotilde, and Class VII's president. Emma is studious, helpful in a pinch, and incredibly kind to all, and nothing the war has to offer could change those parts of her. Still, she often worries that the many secrets she's kept from her classmates have betrayed their trust, most notably that of knowing Rean's fate as an Awakener.[2]
Trails of Cold Steel III[]
A sweet, studious girl who served as the old Class VII's class president. In reality, she was a member of the Hexen Clan, a group of witches that stood behind the scenes throughout Erebonia's history. She guided Rean to finding Valimar and becoming his awakener. During the civil war, she briefly reunited with her adopted sister, Vita Clotilde. However, after being outplayed by Chancellor Osborne at the very end, Vita vanished once more. After graduating from Thors, Emma resolved to search the country for her prodigal sister and bring her back to their hometown. After studying under her clan's Elder to improve her magic skills, Emma finally embarked on her journey to find her sister. Along the way, she planned to visit shrines and important locations built long ago by the Hexen Clan and their counterparts, the Gnomes.[3]
Trails of Cold Steel IV[]
A talented witch of the Hexen Clan who also served as the old Class VII's class president. She, along with Celine—her black cat familiar—guided Rean to becoming Valimar's awakener. After graduating, she returned to her village to become a full-fledged witch under Roselia's tutelage, and has since resumed her search for her adopted sister, Vita. She managed to successfully reunite with both Class VIIs in Heimdallr, but despite her newly refined powers as a witch, she was still unable to prevent the onset of the Great Twilight.[4]
Trails into Reverie[]
A descendant of the ancient Hexen Clan and a member of Class VII. Though she lost her mother at a young age, she has the elder of the witches, Roselia, as a grandmother figure, and Vita Clotilde as an older sister figure. She revealed her true nature as a witch during the Erebonian civil war, then continued to support her friends with her impactful orbal arts. After the disaster passed, she and her familiar traveled across the continent to investigate the septium veins of Zemuria, the source of so very many anomalies in recent years.[5]Appearance[]
Emma is a young woman with plum-coloured hair, which is worn is a long braid and mint blue eyes. Emma wears large round glasses, which she does not actually need.
As a student of Thors, Emma wore the Class VII uniform consisting of a red blazer with a purple bow on the back and around her collar, green pleated skirt and black thigh high stockings with brown shoes.
On her travels during the October War, Emma wore a black and purple corset with detached black sleeves, long tails which acted like a dress, with a white skirt, brown laced-up boots and a short white shawl around her shoulders.
Later on, Emma wears a purple sleeveless coat with long tails over a pinstripe white sweater and black lace vest, with a green miniskirt and black tights. She also has white knee high boots, several golden bangles, a flat cap. Emma later removes the cap and glasses.
Emma uses an orbal staff in combat, consisting of a large silver rod with a golden moon type attachment at the top with a round orbment installed. At one point, she uses the elder's staff, which glows purple when in her possession.
Personality[]
Emma is a very compassionate person. She carries herself in a quiet, yet polite and courteous demeanor, which makes her very well liked among the other students. She generally follows her tasks without much question and rarely, if ever, disregards them. Despite this, she is equally pragmatic as well as secretive.
Emma remains modest in most of her interactions with her classmates. She acknowledges Machias' one-sided academic rivalry with dismissal and kindness, and she also tutors Fie to help her with paying attention in class and getting better grades.
During the events of Trails of Cold Steel II, Emma spends most of the game grappling over her duty as a witch of the Hexen Clan, and the guilt she feels for keeping it a secret from the others. She displays a noticeable inferiority complex, developed by being in the shadow of Vita, who she regarded as a sister figure to her.
