Emilia

Emilia is a half-elf spirit arts user and royal-selection candidate in Re:ZERO. Subaru Natsuki first meets her while she is searching for a stolen insignia, and he becomes committed to supporting her claim.

Emilia as a royal-selection candidate

Compassionate, idealistic, and insecure about resembling the Witch of Envy, Emilia wants to create a kingdom where prejudice does not determine a person's worth. Her sheltered past makes trust and political leadership difficult.

Ice magic, prejudice, and recovering her past

Emilia uses ice magic and forms a contract with the spirit Puck. Her relationship with Subaru, memories of Fortuna and Petelgeuse, and the Sanctuary Trials help her recover suppressed history and develop from a protected candidate into a more independent leader.
