Emiko Williams

Emiko Yureimoto-Williams, or just Emiko, is one of the deuteragonists of the comedy/horror webcomic, along with her husband Sam Williams, being one of the main deuteragonists of the prequel comic Spirit's Bloom along with him. Once part of the Yureimoto royal family, Emiko left home after a violent argument with her father Osamu, arriving at the US where she meets Sam and marries him. She currently resides in Blair Wood, Illinois with him and her daughter Erma.
== Appearance ==
Emiko is a slender, monochromatic yokai who resembles Japanese ghosts in movies such as Sadako. She has long black hair that often covers her eyes, which in turn have black sclerae and white pupils. She wears a long white gown, white socks and black shoes.
During the summer, Emiko wears a black sun hat, a black swim top and a black dress while in the winter, she wears a black trench coat with white cuffs and a white collar, wearing a black turtleneck and leggings underneath. She also carries a pale blue handbag with teeth, along with black gloves.
When she was younger, Emiko's hair was much shorter and slicked up, causing her to somewhat resemble her sister Yori. She wore a sleeveless black turtleneck, black pants and leather shoes, as well as sunglasses. She also used a light-colored handbag and wore bangles on her arms.
As a child, Emiko closely resembled Erma, having similarly long hair and wearing a similar white dress. However, her eyes were covered by her hair.
== Personality ==
Kindly and considerate, Emiko plays the role of a role model to her child Erma well, being able to fit into society without much hassle. Emiko is shown to be quite patient and understanding with her daughter, letting her off for most of her mischief. She's also shown to have a very happy marriage with her husband Sam and the two enjoy spending time together, with Sam comforting her after her traumatic conversation with her father Osamu.
Despite this, Emiko is shown to be hot-tempered at times, easily bursting into rage over football games alongside Sam. It's also shown that while relatively normal, Emiko's unusual behaviour often scares others, like how she emerges from pavements to pass Erma food. Likewise, she is shown to be rather stubborn like Osamu, refusing to forgive him for what he's done and being genuinely shocked when learning he wants to change.
== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Born as the 3rd child of the Yureimoto family, Emiko lived her days happily with her other siblings until one day their father Osamu, for unknown reasons, decides that they need to become more feared yokai. To this end he puts them through rigorous training, traumatizing Fumiko by forcing her to accompany him on his killing sprees, giving Rin another scar after she sought his comfort for being attacked by fishermen, scolding Mayumi for being bullied and forcing the siblings to raid villages and attack humans.
This all becomes too much for Emiko and one day, during a discussion on what's best for her, she gets into a violent argument with Osamu and leaves home. Running as far as possible, she arrives in the US where at a park, she meets junior journalist Sam Williams. The two quickly fall in love and become engaged. On the day of their wedding however, Osamu orchestrates a car crash that nearly kills Sam and kidnaps Emiko back to the Yureimoto palace. Growing depressed there, she's assisted in her escape by her sister Yori, and thus, reuniting with Sam, Emiko settles down in the US.
Years pass and the couple have a baby, Erma on October 13th during a Blood Moon. Unbeknownst to them while Emiko rests in the maternity ward with Sam, her daughter is visited by a sinister individual who plots to use Erma's power to end the world.
=== Erma webcomics ===
Successfully enrolling Erma into an elementary school due to the principal being blind, Emiko plays a rather minor role in the webcomics, with most of Erma's adventures revolving between her and her friends. However, she does appear frequently to show off care for her daughter and plays a major role in the Yokai Disrict arc.
=== Yokai District arc ===
Receiving an invitation from her sister Yori to attend the annual Yokai Parade, Emiko is initially suspicious, fearing that Osamu could've tampered with it. However, with Sam's comfort, she decides to bring Erma along for the parade, explaining the reason for going to her. On the flight, Emiko accidentally lashes out at her family though she quickly calms down and confesses she's anxious at seeing her estranged father again. Arriving at the airport, Emiko temporarily loses Erma in the crowd but is thankful to see that her sister, Emiko has arrived to pick the family up with her nieces Mitsu and Momo accompanying Erma, claiming to have "helped her find her way."
