History
Date of Birth: August 30th, 1984
Home: Nara, Nara Prefecture, Japan
Family: Yaguchi Shimpei and Chitose (parents), Gempachi (older brother)
The Awakening: Preordainment (a bright child in a middle class family, she excelled at science and eventually went to university, despite that her true love was for animation; she showed promise as a chemist but instead she tried to make her anime fantasies come true by tinkering around with computerized algorithms driving chemical interactions, resulting in an explosion in the university lab, for which she was expelled; and yet, in that moment, she had an eureka moment about the math and how to fix the failure), 1998
Mentor: Kiyota Kiyohisa
The Test: Trial by Influence (after hearing of the incident, the 1000 Canes Society invited her into their folds to train her in the hyper-sciences that would help her make her dreams come true; she was given access to their labs in Nara to apply her calculations, and eventually, she succeeded, creating a Full Metal Alchemist-styled golem that she presented to the Craft)
Comrades: Kiyota Kiyohisa, Anno Yoshike, Owen Lorne
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (she finished her education through the 1000 Canes Society's "gate" tech school; she participated in various "Science Fair"-styled competitions within the Craft, but never really "felt it"--plus, her fellow Crafters had little respect for the anime focus)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (she decided to check out America abroad, visiting on a student visa, and found her way to the burgeoning Little Asia district in Kansas City, where she also met Owen)
Transition: Shift in Purpose (her visa expired and she returned to Japan to conclude her 1000 Canes studies, before obtaining proper immigration and moving to the US, joining the chi'n ta chantry in Little Asia, and working with Owen and others to make her fantasies spurned at home a reality here)
Core of the Host (Sanctum)
Location: Midori-no-Koyama, Little Asia, Kansas City, Missouri, United States
Structure: Bunker
Stock: Sub-basement under Midori: stocked with a full-fledged professional chemistry lab, home-made computer OS (a mess of wires), and walls covered in posters from dozens of favorite anime series
Traits: Arcane 5
Significant Other
Name: Owen Lorne; 2004
Nature: Romantic
Owen
Weakness
Otaku
Emiko being otaku is not a blow against who she is by any stretch. (Anymore than it is for Owen, for that matter.) But being obsessed with anything is never a positive thing, and it can limit one's horizons.
Likelihood of Corruption
Low.
She's so infatuated with anime and making the unreal real that she hasn't got time to be harassed by Yomi.
