## Appearance

Emilia is a 19-year-old French woman with tanned skin, shoulder-length hair in a light burgundy to orange gradient, a small bun at the top right of her head decorated with a gold beaded chain, and red eyes with flame-shaped pupils. Emilia wears a baggy gray tank top with a triangle and flame graphic tied in a knot over a red shirt with dark stripes and cuffed shorts with a black triangle pattern at the bottom, with a gold beaded chain over her left thigh with an attached lighter and two pins attached to the left cuff. Emilia's jacket is red with white accents, with symmetrical holes over her forearms, upper arms, and shoulders. Her shoes are light gray sandals with brown straps that wrap the tops of her feet and ankles, with three buttons, one in the shape of a flame, adorning the right sandal. Emilia wears a gold beaded anklet on her right ankle and a matching necklace, along with a black choker with similar golden beads. On her hands, Emilia wears red fingerless gloves with dark stripes and cuffs. Emilia keeps two matches tied to her left wrist and wears gold earrings on her lobes, as well as a ring on the cartilage of her right ear. A sharp tooth points out from the left side of her mouth.

## Personality

Emilia is a bubbly but stubborn, hot-headed, and sarcastic young lady who tends to act on impulse. Emilia is not very respectful of personal boundaries and often makes jokes at others expense, usually to make herself feel better. She is prone to swearing and calling others profane nicknames. Emilia is insecure about her short height and becomes agitated very easily when others call her short or compare her to a little girl. Emilia is always quick to defend someone if anyone makes fun of the way they look, and she does not condone or tolerate bullying unless it's done by her.

## History

### Early Life

Emilia's father was a doctor and the owner of a hospital, which is why she is afraid of hospitals. He often pushed Emilia to conform to traditional girlish roles and reacted negatively to her tomboyish personality. Emilia wanted to play sports and wear shorts rather than play with dolls and spend time with her mother, who reportedly cheated on her father frequently. This caused Emilia's father to believe something was wrong with her and keep her confined to a hospital room in order to monitor her health.

Emilia had a older sister who was more traditionally girly and who, Emilia explains, loved to go camping with her and make s'mores and flower crowns, being the exact type of daughter her father expected, had it not been for the fact that Elodi was transgender and was disowned and forced out of the family's home when she came out to her father. The last time Emilia saw Elodi was when Elodi arrived at their father's hospital sick and was denied a bed. Emilia never knew what happened to her.

The first time Emilia, the self-proclaimed "Ultimate Arsonist," committed arson was when she burned her father's hospital to the ground, with everyone inside, after she decided to walk away from her family's fortune and live on the streets. This incident resulted in hundreds of casualties, which Emilia had never considered, only wanting to enact revenge on her father.

### Killing Game

#### Prologue

Emilia is first heard while Shinku Kutsuki, Ismene Circe, and Dracul Tremblay are speaking with Maiko Yuzuki, when her yelling at Mint Byrne can be heard from the hallway, and Maiko urges the three to break up Emilia and Mint’s argument. Emilia bombards Mint with a barrage of questions, asking if his talent is legal and insinuating that he may smoke marijuana, making him uncomfortable. Dracul intervenes, causing Emilia to walk away pouting, mumbling about Mint being unable to take a joke with what Shinku interprets as a hint of guilt in her voice.

After splitting up from Dracul and Ismene, Shinku decides to cheer up Emilia, believing she looks like she feels sorry for harassing Mint, only for Emilia to begin teasing Shinku too. Shinku advises her to be more careful with her words, believing that Emilia is a child, but she takes offense, snapping that she just looks and acts like one. Emilia forgives Shinku quickly, though, because he looks friendly to her, and she apologizes for her previous behavior, introducing herself to him as the Ultimate Arsonist. As Shinku raises an eyebrow at the criminal nature of her alleged talent, Emilia sighs, confessing that she is really the Ultimate Pyrotechnician but believes it makes her sound like a nerd, promising to kick anyone who calls her by her true title.

Emilia along with the other students is soon called to the lecture hall. After Mononeko appears from behind the stage, Emilia is the first to react in shock. Later, Emilia expresses skepticism that Mononeko could actually have private information on the students regarding their criminal pasts, threatening to burn Mononeko. She would then leave. Later that evening, Mononeko shows the students the first trio of crimes on the monitors, being Ismene's, Kotaro Chishiki's, and Mint's.

#### Chapter 1

The next morning, Emilia joins the others for a communal breakfast in the dining hall. After a conversation about the muffins Mint prepared for them, he asks to discuss the killing game, only for Maiko to interject and ask about his crime. Emilia then defends him, saying the insurance system was flawed and he was trying to help his sister. When Ismene walks in, it prompts a hostile conversation about the revealed crimes, to which Kotaro tries to steer the conversation back to the muffins. Emilia then asks him about his crime, and he begins to cry. Shinku runs out a little bit later, and Emilia and the others stay in the dining hall.

The next morning, Ismene calls the other girls and Kotaro to perform a ritualistic sacrifice to appease a god to fulfill their wishes. Emilia wishes to be two feet taller so she could laugh at "[their] short asses". After their gathering, she receives a motive video from Mononeko.

The next day, Emilia and the others are called to the lecture hall, and are informed of a party Yui was throwing to help lift their spirits. Emilia agrees to attend. When Takiko goes to her room to deliver her party outfit, a long modest red dress, she refuses it, then swaps with Mint to wear his suit. Once at the party, Emilia and the others hear a scream identified to be Ismene, staying behind when Dracul goes to investigate it. She then starts eating the pastries Kotaro and Eiichi Sakaguchi prepared, passing out soon after.

After an unknown amount of time, Emilia wakes up to find Dracul's corpse positioned on the giant cake Kotaro made, with his intestines and eyes removed. She is initially disgusted at the sight, but quickly asks Rei Higashi to perform some mind-reading to determine who killed Dracul. When Shinku investigates the murder, Emilia is very fired up, proclaiming she'd make Mint kick the ass of whoever did it.

During the trial, Emilia initially suspects Ismene as the killer, but eventually votes for Maiko.

## Talent

### Pyrotechnician

Emilia is the Ultimate Pyrotechnician and is considered a master of pyrotechnics. She is knowledgeable about the mechanics and science behind fire, but she becomes agitated when she is referred to as a pyrotechnician, believing it makes her sound boring and nerdy, and prefers to be called the Ultimate Arsonist.

## Creation and Development

Emilia's beta design differs from her finalized design by featuring darker colors, an additional red striped stocking on her left leg, and a longer ripped sleeve on her right arm. Emilia's jacket, choker, and earrings are not present, and her lighter and attached beaded chain are on the opposite side of her body.

Early in development, Emilia replaced a different character who was intended to be the Ultimate Girl Scout. Emilia was also originally conceptualized as a male character, alongside Mint, who was originally a female character, and a third female character who was scrapped later on in development and who was reportedly going to represent the element of water to complete a complimentary trio with Emilia's connection with fire and Mint's connection with plants and the earth.

## Trivia

* Emilia's first pet was a cat.
* Emilia's favorite food is Thai street food.
