Emiko Fujimura

A teen of many talents, Emiko Fujimura is the President of the Yukigaya Hero Club and self-proclaimed Number One Tetsu Mantarey Fan. Despite their alternative and sometimes punk aesthetic, Emiko is trying their best to follow in Tetsu Mantarey's footsteps and become a great Hero someday, though for now they're just trying to get through high school alive.

## Personality

From a young age, Emiko has always held themself to a very high and at times impossible standard. Striving for greatness in nearly all aspects of their life has made Emiko a very stressed and anxious individual, something they tend to mask with confidence and a natural charisma. Despite their outward projection of coolness, Emiko is very much a nerd and follows the Hero scene extremely closely. Their idolization of Tetsu Mantarey was spurred by the Kaiju fight in 210 (TNC), and Emiko has been a Hero nerd ever since.

## Family

Emiko’s mother ("Amme"), Alanis, is around 300-400 years old, and has watched the entire shift of a medieval-feudal society to the modern one. Alanis mostly stayed in her isolated gold elf community, but as society shifted around them, the gold elves became more isolationist/nationalist and Alanis decided to leave and move to The City, keeping in touch with her elven community through magic. Alanis is a fairly powerful wizard (level 5-6), and works in academia as a magical theorist. Alanis comes from a very old, wealthy family, so the Fujimura’s are very well-off.

Emiko’s other mother, Rei Fujimura, is an artist (painter). Between the two of their parents, Emiko’s family is very well-connected in the upper-class, art snob social circles. They live in a Very nice neighborhood in a pretty massive house for three people (there is an art studio and a music room with a grand piano).

## Background

Emiko was raised by their two mothers in The City. Emiko exhibited bardic magic quite early in life and is a bit of a musical prodigy, and their parents have heavily encouraged them to pursue music. In middle school, Emiko attended a private music school, though (inspired by their passion for Heroics) they quickly developed a love for swordsmanship after joining a kendo club two years before high school. Because Emiko went to a music-focused middle school after manifesting their bardic talent, they were encouraged to find a muse - something to look towards as a source of inspiration. Emiko’s real muse is Tetsu Mantarey, their hero and idol, but because of their fear that their parents wouldn’t approve of Emiko’s desire to be a Hero, Emiko told everyone that their muse is some ancient High Elven musician.

Emiko’s parents wanted them to go to a fancy private music high school, but they wanted to go to Yukigaya High School in order to be able to do more martial arts and join a Hero Club. Emiko managed to convince their parents to let them go by telling them that they wanted more normal social experiences/friends, as well as promising to keep up their private lessons and join the school’s orchestra. Because of their deep fear/anxiety of disappointing their parents, Emiko kept their desire to become a Hero a secret. Emiko’s parents were apprehensive in regards to them learning kendo and wielding swords, but Emiko insisted that it’s important to be physically able and fit, so Rei and Alanis let them join the local dojo.

## Abilities

Emiko is quite skilled at the piano, their primary musical instrument, though they are also trained in guitar and flute. Since joining a kendo club, Emiko has also grown quite skilled at swordsmanship and has learned how to wield a sword as a focus for their bardic magic. Emiko is very charismatic, and through the period of time where they kept their Heroic goals a secret honed their Deception and Insight skills. Despite their own romantic fumblings, Emiko also likes to think of themself as a rather skilled matchmaker and is currently engaged in a scheme to start a matchmaking business with their fellow Club members.

## Inventory

***Æstalasa (Windcutter) -*** A family heirloom and gift from Alanis, this beautifully crafted elven saber is thin and light, yet magically durable. Designed with turbulent swirls across the blade, swinging it through the air creates a whistling noise - with practice the wielder can learn to use this property as a musical instrument.

***Razor Thin Katana (destroyed) -*** This sword was thrown out by a famous sword-maker because it’s defective. A +2 longsword with the finesse property, but it will quickly break. If you roll a 20 on an attack roll with this weapon, it will shatter, being completely destroyed.

***Pretty OK Rapier -*** This rapier isn’t very fancy, but it gets the job done. It’s considered magical, but has no special properties beyond that.

***The Discorb -*** A magical orb that gives off multi-colored light. Was purchased for the party episode and has not been mentioned since.
