**Emo** (Japanese: エモ, *Emo***?**) is a party character in *Harvestella*. She is a songstress at a tavern in the Seaside Town  Shatolla and is said to have some ‘feel of a nonhuman’. She has a deep connection with File:Lorelei Profile.png Lorelei.

## Biography

**Emo** is a young woman who encounters the  Protagonist during the investigation into the Summer Seaslight. **Emo** is a siren who has an enchanting voice that is able to captivate anyone around her.

## Personality

**Emo** is a caring and selfless person as she was willing to work for Shatolla's landlord as a diva singer at a tavern that he owns in exchange for a boat to reach the Summer Seaslight, but when she learns of the landlord's true intentions, it convinces her to end her employment with him and instead side with the Protagonist and Aria. She loves singing as even after she is freed from the landlord's deal, she chooses to keep working as a diva as she enjoys her job there. She may have a timid side, as she ran off upon meeting the Protagonist and Aria for the first time. She is also very close to her kind and will get upset if they are antagonized.

## Main Story

Prior to the events of the story, she was sent by her mother to Shatolla, where she found herself entangled with an unsavory landlord, who stole the stone she uses to speak with humans (to prevent her from asking for help) and is forced to stay at Shatolla's tavern to serve as a diva singer and as its main attraction; in return, he promised to build her a boat so she can reach the Seaslight as part of the contract she signed, but he never intended to keep the promise. He also forbids anyone from seeing her without his permission. The Protagonist first sees Emo talking to the landlord in the forest, but doesn't interact with them. After the conversation, they then return to Shatolla's tavern for Emo's next performance. When the Protagonist and Aria visit the tavern, they see her singing onstage, but a fisherman is concerned that her singing will attract Lorelei, a dangerous siren monster; his warnings are ignored. After the landlord convinces Emo to keep singing, he reminds her about a meeting tonight behind the bar; this makes Aria suspicious. As the duo eavesdrop on their conversation, the landlord claims that they do not have enough money to build the boat and tells her to keep working before leaving. As the duo try to talk to her, she quickly leaves, as she isn't sure if she can trust them. While the landlord is out of town, the duo learn of the landlord's plan to sell **Emo** through a letter that he dropped earlier and had never planned to help her at all. After convincing the Bartender to let them see Emo without the landlord knowing, they show them the letter that reveals the landlord's true intentions. With the truth exposed, **Emo** is no longer willing to work for the landlord and decides to join Aria and the Protagonist with the investigation of the Seaslight behind the landlord's back. Juno also acts as a temporally translator for Emo. Because no one dares to take their boats out to sea due to Lorelei's presence, they enlist the help of Heine and for the use of his submarine. Reaching the Seaslight, they find various messages left by the decreased sirens, revealing that Emo is the last of her kind. After Lorelei is defeated, her stone is retrieved by Heine (who traded a bag of supposedly rare stones to the landlord in exchange for it along with Emo's contract) and returned to her, restoring her ability to speak. The Bartender also tears up her contract, freeing her from the landlord's deal. However, she decides to stay at the tavern and continue working as a diva as she likes singing and enjoys the customers, but also joins the Protagonist in their mission.

## Appearance

**Emo** is a young woman with long, straight blonde hair and purple eyes. Her hair adorns seashell accessories and she wears a blue dress.

## Character Story

"**Emo's Story**" is the Character Story for Emo in **Harvestella**.

**Emo** continues working as a singer at the bar in Shatolla. She finds it difficult to speak of her connection with Lorelei, as the villagers all had negative experiences with it. After losing her mother and the rest of the sirens, she also struggles to find her own purpose and a way to keep them alive, if only in her memory as Heine suggests. The villagers all adore her and several of the children request singing lessons. At one point, a villager asks her to go out with him, which Emo misunderstands before the Protagonist explains what he meant, prompting her to turn it down.

During the course of her story, she struggles to balance wanting to make the people of Shatolla happy with her singing and finding a way to reconcile her connection with Lorelei and the Sirens. Things get worse when she stops the villagers' bickering when they insult Lorelei, making them see her connection with Lorelei. She then considers leaving Shatolla, but is convinced not to by the Protagonist as the villagers love her and that she should still tell them the truth. When she finally confesses the truth, the villagers understand and even though they weren't able to believe it at first, they thank her for revealing the truth and continue to accept her.

I am okay.

A lot of sad and painful things happened, but I am okay.

I will be singing at the bar in Shatolla as normal.

I hope you will come and listen.

Do you like music, Ein?

The children have asked me to teach them how to sing. I have never been a teacher before, but I'm excited to try.

If you visit Shatolla, then I would like to teach you, too. I hope you will visit again soon.

I think it will be a lot of fun.

#### I need some help...

There was someone with a scary look on their face at the bar. It did not change no matter what kind of song I sang. They did not look as though they were having fun at all.

I told the bartender but I am still worried. What should I do, Ein?

#### I have been given a day off!

The bartender has allowed me to take a day off! He told me to use it to do what I want to do, and I want to talk to you, Ein.

We always talk about serious things, but maybe this time will be different.

I will wait for you at the beach.

#### I want to say thank you.

I would like to thank you for talking to me earlier, so would you meet me at the bar?

I will treat you to a meal.

#### What should I do?

I'm sorry for making such a sudden request, but I need some help. I want to do well with the vigil for the sake of everyone in Shatolla...but I cannot keep going like this.

Please, Ein. I don't know what to do.

#### I've upset everyone.

I'm sorry. I said I could put up with what the townsfolk were saying, but I couldn't, and now I've upset everyone.

I've never been more lost...

#### The vigil.

It is nearly time for the vigil and I have done all that I can. I can only hope that the people of Shatolla will understand how I feel through my song... I just need them to listen.

I do not know what will happen, but I will do my best! I'll be waiting at the beach. Please meet me there.

#### I want them to know I'm okay.

I would like to visit the Coral Shrine again. I want to tell my mother and the other Sirens that the vigil went well and that I became good friends with the people of Shatolla.

Would you mind coming with me, please, Ein?

#### Now and forever.

Ein, I thought I would never find a way to thank you for all your help, but I finally did!

I will share your story, the story of my dearest friend, who saved the Sirens...who saved me.

Thank you for saving me, Ein.
