4

Emiko Homura is a member of GALE representing the "e" in its name. She is a student of the same high school as the other three members. She is well known as the strongest level 4 in the city.

## Appearance

    In direct contrast to Luna as her appearance suggests she is much older than her actual biological age with many people confusing her to be college age rather than her actual age of 18. Emiko has a very athletic yet well-developed figure, which is hard to notice when she is wearing her school uniform. Her years of training has made her muscles quite defined and toned giving her an impressively muscular physique that one would expect on an olympic athlete rather than a high schooler. At the same time her muscular structure sacrifices very little of her femininity giving her body an air of compactness much like Toyohime.

One of Emiko's most defining features, much like Toyohime, is her hair. Emiko has long blazing red hair that is several shades lighter than Toyohime's. Emiko usually keeps her hair in a ponytail at school and let it flow freely down her back back outside of school and whether she is in or out of school her bangs cover the majority of her forehead. Her hair is much more kempt than Toyohime's as her hair has fewer split-ends and has a more appeasing texture.

Matching the fire-theme her blazing red hair and red eyes adds to her appearance, Emiko's body is covered with small burns caused by her esper ability. On any given day Emiko can have anywhere between five to 20 burn marks on her body most of which are first or second degree burns that appear to only take a day or two to fully heal due to how her body is very used to being burned. Most of the burns appear to be located on her arms, hand, legs, and feet because of the way she fights.

As for attire, Emiko is usually seen wearing either her school uniform or her casual attire, which she wears outside of school. The top layer of her school attire consists of a white blouse underneath a black vest sweater. The bottom layer consists of a plaid skirt royal blue skirt with a pair short-length black leggings underneath her skirt alongside sight socks and black loafers.

Emiko's attire outside of school is very different than her school uniform. The top layer consists of a partially zipped black midriff-baring shirt with a peculiar red jewel resting in the middle of her cleavage by a necklace. Over her shirt she wears a buttonless flowing white jacket with gold trims and black cuffs. On the back, the edges of her white jacket are uneven as though the jacket has been burned repeatedly and is just beginning to show wear from it. The bottom layer consists of uneven black pants held in place by a red belt with gold edges and buckle. One pant leg extends all the way down her leg to disappear into her black and gold trim boot its partner is extremely short and barely goes an two inches down her leg. On the leg with the short pant sleeve she wears opaque thigh-length black stockings that matches the color of her boots and hides the kanji for inferno that she has tattooed down her left leg.

## Characterization

Academy City’s top level four esper, otherwise known as Pyromaster, is a force of nature on the battlefield. Due to the many impressive feats she has been seen doing Emiko is one of the well known members of GALE with her renown rivaling Arata despite the disparity in their esper abilities. She doesn’t exist solely on the battlefield and there is much more to her beyond her talents and capabilities. While it is true that as a person her personality truly embodies the attributes of fire she is much more than that. She is more than just another temperamental teenage and if how much of an enigma her past is anything to go by she is a much more complicated person. More so than even Arata. A complicated person fueled by some sort of as of yet unseen goal like oxygen to a flame. Despite secretly yearning to find her sister in order to bring her family back together, Emiko is a woman that seems to attract violence and appears to find people who lack drive and are content with the current normalcy to be annoying even though normalcy is what she is secretly striving for.

Emiko’s personality presents in multiple layers the first being what she allows peoples’ first impressions of her to be. When first meeting Emiko most individuals’ first impression is a confirmation of her fiery personality. Extroverted, outgoing, hot tempered, motivated, strong willed, and driven. While this surface level first impression of her is no facade it is still an incorrect first impression to go on due to just how small this aspect of her personality is compared to the rest.

### Relationships

#### Arata Kaneda

Arata and Emiko have been friends for a very long time. They met back in kindergarten and have managed to maintain their friendship ever since. However, their friendship is nothing like it once was. In fact, it is the direct opposite in many ways. Due to how famous she was back then as a result of her natural talent as an esper and her overpowering personality Emiko could have been considered the leader of their friendship. More often than not whatever they did together was something Emiko had thought of and considering how meek Arata once and how much he liked playing with her he never argued.

Things changed when constantly being under Emiko's shadow and the disappointed looks people gave him as a result of his lackluster his esper power was despite being a gemstone finally gave Arata the motivation he needed to work hard and better himself. While Emiko didn't work hard at anything due to her belief that her natural talent will carry her through life Arata was hard at work. The changes in their relationship that this newfound change in Arata brought was subtle at first. Arata began saying no more and that eventually evolved into putting further his own ideas of what he wanted to do. All the while, Arata's esper power was rapidly catching up to Emiko's own until eventually he surpassed her when he reached level 4 before her. Emiko's pride was badly wounded by that event and for awhile she resented Arata for that. Eventually, she came to realize why she failed and reconnected with Arata with a newfound respect for his dedication to hard work. Respect that eventually turned into love when she was around the age of 15. However, at that time on top of being very close to him as friends she had grown to think of Arata as a rival and so her pride refused to allow her to admit her feels so for the sake of their friendship and what pride she has let she constantly tries to hide and suppress her feelings. Her rivalry with him is why she views love as a competition; the first one to confess loses. This is why sometimes her feelings slip out causing her to subtly express her feelings as playing mind games with him in an attempt to get him to love her and confess first.

Currently, it is apparent to all how good of friends Emiko and Arata are. Their ability to work together is legendary and not just because of how well their powers work together. They seem to have the ability to intuitively tell what the other is thinking due to how long they have known each other, which is shown by how they can seemingly have full conversations with a simple glance. However, this ability isn't absolute shown by how Arata is still ignorant about how Emiko feels and contributes her mind games to just another part of their rivalry. Emiko feels that this is a reflection of the cracks that keeping this secret is beginning to create.

#### Luna Bloodworth

To put it lightly Luna and Emiko have a strenuous relationship. While on one hand they do appear to be something like friends on the other they seem to wish they weren’t. They are neither friends nor quite enemies, but somewhere in the middle.

## Abilities

### Pyromaster

    Emiko's esper ability is known as "Pyromaster" and it grants her the ability to generate and manipulate fire, heat, and other het-related phenomena. With Pyromaster being among the rarest of the elemental master abilities, Emiko status as a level four makes her one of the stronger pyromasters in Academy City.

There two sides to Emiko's ability: active and passive. On a passive level, Emiko's AIM Diffusion Field heats up the air around her to an uncomfortable 100 degrees Fahrenheit creating a field of heat around her. This heat field fluctuates with her emotions. Increasing with intense emotions like rage or fear and lessening with weaker emotions. This field can protect her from extreme cold and makes it difficult for espers under level 4 with cold-based abilities to use their powers as the field of heat often instantly neutralizes it. At higher temperatures it is capable of causing physical damage to the area around her.

     Heat and fire manipulation are the active effects of Emiko's esper power allowing her to freely generate and manipulate fire and heat to use it for a wide variety of purposes typically close range to incorporate her flames with physical combat due to her experience with martial arts and kendo. In fights she is typically seen wrapping her limbs or sword in combat to use its heat and energy to increase the strength of her attacks. While that is how she typically uses fire she isn't limited to only that and has demonstrated the ability to use her flames in a wide variety of ways such as molding it into different shapes or spewing jets or explosive balls of flames among other things.

The fire side of her power is not only the strongest side of her power, but it also the most interesting part of her power for researchers. This is because unlike normal fire espers, Emiko is able to freely control the composition of her flames allowing her to generate different types of fire most notably a type of fire with many similarities to greek fire.

While this does give her a big advantage over other pyrokinesists it does come with some drawbacks. She is only able to generated fire that is no more than 2700 degrees Fahrenheit even though she can heat stuff up to 5000 degrees with her heat manipulation. Only with Luna's help can she generate hotter flames because Luna can enhance her esper powers. The second major drawback is its range. Emiko doesn't keep her flames close to her body because she likes to, but rather she has no choice. Pyromaster is an ability not fit for large outputs. The farther her flames are from her the weaker they become. At a distance of 10 feet her flames become not much stronger than a level 2 pyrokinesists. Lastly, this difference means generating and manipulating fire is an activity akin to exercise. Generating and manipulating fire is physically exhausting, which means that, unlike other espers, there is a limit to how much she can use her fire and heat abilities. This last weakness can be especially important. Just using her esper ability burns calories and add that to how physically active she is during a fight leads her to burning calories very quickly. She can't fight for too long a time as prolonged fights will quickly make her disoriented and weak due to lack of calories.

* **Pyromaster’s Flame:** Pyromaster’s flame is one of Emiko’s most dangerous and potent fires as it magnesium fire that has been strengthened through Arata’s esper ability. As with normal magnesium fire it cannot be extinguished by water and will continue to burn even after its oxygen is depleted.
* **Overheat:** Overheat is Emiko's signature ability and it allows her to unleash a wave of heat by rapidly increasing the temperature of the area behind her. By herself, she can generate a heat wave strong enough to instantly burn away all plant life in a 10 meter radius and inflict third degree burns to those caught in the heat wave. With Arata's help, however, she can generate heat waves that are much more powerful, which was demonstrated when Arata used his ability to amplify her heatwave allowing it to instantly melt a sheet of metal.
* **Cauterization:** A supportive application of her powers that allows her to close the wounds of herself or others by burning them. Due to her very high heat tolerance it is incredibly hard and exhausting to use this on herself so this move is usually reserved for others.
* **Thermal Decomposition:**
* **Thermal Control:** At its core heat is the transfer of energy from one thing to another. For normal pyrokinetics and thermokinetics this means giving heat to another object to increase its temperature, or in the case of pyrokinesis to create fire. As a pyromaster, Emiko does not have this limitation. She is just as capable of removing heat as she is applying heat granting her the ability to lower a target's temperature as well as increase it. She first demonstrated this ability when during a System Scan she used her power to partially freeze a pool. Naturally, as a pyromaster her ability cool things is not on the same level as her ability to heat objects up, which is shown by the lowest temperature she is able to make an object at room temperature is 33 degrees. However, this increases when she is under the affects of Luna's ability.
* **Heat Capacity Control:**
* **Heat Surge:** Heat Surge is one of Emiko's most basic techniques and during System Scans it is the technique researchers use to gauge the level of her power. This move involves her rapidly heating a targeted area. Currently, unaided she is able to use Heat Surge on an area no larger than an average pool and she can heat up that area by no more than 5000 degrees.

### Other Skills

#### Peak-Human Physical Abilities

Emiko's training has pushed her body to peak capacity granting her physical capabilities that are as close to being superhuman as one can be. Two of her most notable traits are her speed and strength. This is because she can at speeds of up to 27 mph, only one mph slower than the fastest human and she is strong enough to lift objects up 3000 pounds. Her peak physical abilities makes her a remarkable athlete and combatant, which makes her very difficult to for a normal human to deal with in a close-quarters combat. As remarkable as her physical abilities are one must not confuse them for being superhuman, which is proven by despite how impressive her physical abilities may be they are no match against Toyohime's superhuman physical prowess. The difference Emiko's and Toyohime's physical abilities is immense.

#### High Heat Tolerance

Emiko constant exposure to heat as a result of her quirk has caused her body to build a high tolerance to it allowing her to endure temperatures that would otherwise be painful or even harmful. This high tolerance is the secret to how she is able to wrap parts of her body, such as her fists or feet, in flames when she is fighting.

## Trivia

* Emiko and Arata's relationship was partially inspired by Kaguya and Miyuki from Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
