## Personality/Background

**Emiko Williams**, (Formerly Emiko Yuriemoto) is a female yokai ghost, being born and raised into a family of yokai and living in Japan as one of many yokai sisters and single brother of her family.

Emiko lived her life in Japan for a certain time, then left due to disagreements she had upon her father's wishes and ambitions on what he wanted his children to become. She moved from place to place in hopes of finding a place and to get away from his reach so she could find a home to call her own and settle down with just herself.

She travels for a bit, either leaving the places in fire or ash, such shows that her very presence can be a bit chaotic. Soon her traveling led her to "Blair Wood", where she just wanted some coffee and think about her next destination. That all change when she met the human and later on husband "**Samuel Williams**", after awhile encountering him in many places for a week, she came to find interest in him, as he didn't attempt at asking anything about her, while others did, soon both began to talk and got to know each other better, this led her to stay in "Blair Wood" with "Samuel" , after a month Love interest an Future Husband. (They are a cute and great couple)

Things were great between to the two, until there wedding day, when her father caused an accident and taking back his daughter, leaving a fake doll replica of Emiko and return to Japan, causing Emiko too fall into a depression, soon her sister **Yori** helped her escape back to the human world, Emiko saying her final goodbyes to her family, escaped to the human world, where she comes to terms to leave everything she had known behind. Now she lives a very well living with her husband, and daughter, not having any regrets in her decision or choices. Except one, and that was leaving things unsettled with her father, fearing that one day he will attempt this again, but next time, it will be much worse.

Emiko is an intelligent Yokai, as well as a loving mother and wife. Ever since she married Samuel and had Erma, she became very protective over them both from any harm that would bring them. Emiko shows interest in many demonic to mythic legends of creatures from different locations, she also enjoys the occasional scare with other humans but doesn't do it too often, like her daughter. Emiko has a big heart for her human family, having been accepted for who and what she was by them. She also holds a very low tolerance for stupidity at what her husband and brother-in-law do (Such as shooting their dog and not telling what really happen on their hunting trip), so for any one's sake, try to be smart.

Emiko holds a very sadistic, chaotic and destructive nature, but has control over such urges to wanting to destroy anything she sees threatening or just for amusement, although she holds power and abilities of a yokai, she doesn't use them to get her way or in any way shape or form, except the present, she lit on fire during Erma's birthday that came from her father.

Emiko also has a strict parenting method for her daughter, as in not to show much of her abilities to the outside world to the humans, such as Skin manipulation, Spells, rituals, murderous intent, summoning, or killing on purpose. Despite all that, Emiko knew it was hard at such young ages of yokai children to now want to express their abilities, so when Erma does something she merely nods and shrugged it off and goes back to reading.

Emiko is somewhat of a bookworm, she much loves her soaps and other T.V series, her true interest is in horror films and romance series that she watches with her husband and daughter from time to time, most of the time is with Samuel. Emiko dearly loves Samuel, as Samuel does everything in his power to bring her joy and happiness, although she does sometimes that might feel as in need to something of her own to help out, Samuel merely asked her to be his loving wife and teacher on her culture, Emikos agrees to this thus begins teaching Samuel. Emiko's truest gift that Samuel has given her was a life of peace and her most important treasure, Erma Williams, both of which she holds dear to heart.

Emiko has shown from time to time of being very afraid at the many things that could happen in her new life or hurt her family, all which points to her father may be planning something, but for a while, she slowly lessens her guard, but still keeps it up just in case. After a while, she along with Sam and Erma returned to her country Japan, due to a request from her sister Yori to visit. Emiko wasn't trusting of this request, as it could be her father attempting again to bring her back, but then again no one can match her sisters handwriting or snarkiness when writing letter not even HIM. After a stern talk with Sam, they decided it was time to settle things for good and to show where Erma her Yokai heritage. As such the Williams make a long trip to Japan in hopes that the "Yokai king and head of the Yūreimoto family "**Osamu Yūreimoto**" will accept her husband and daughter, and to settle things once and for all.

But despite wanting one thing to another, they hold a very loving marriage and life with each other, with their unique and cute daughter.

Erma Williams: Erma is Emiko's only daughter. Unique to her kind, Erma is a human-yokai hybrid, though she takes after her mother the most.

The two love each other very much as a mother and daughter, Emiko giving Erma advice on handling her powers, an also teaching her good morals as to not actually kill someone. Emiko does all she can to protect Erma from the many things that could happen, due to her unique characteristics, but always give room for Erma to express and explore many of the yokai abilities she inherited from her.
