Emul (エムル Emuru, also translated as "Ellym") is a major supporting character in the Shangri-La Frontier series. She is a Vorpal Bunny NPC in SLF who sought out Sunraku after he got cursed by Lycagon and became his companion, making eligable for a Unique Scenario.[1]
Appearance[]
Emul appears as a white rabbit with floppy ears in a stage magician's outfit, with a top hat and a monocle. She carries a pocket watch and a spell book.
In her human transformation, she appears as a young girl wearing a similar outfit and with pink hair.[2]
Personality[]
Emul is very enthusiastic and hard working girl. She strives to follow the protagonist's guidance as directed by her father. Emul is hardworking and genuinely truly wants to be helpful to Sunraku.
She does not appreciate when others imitate her speech or mannerisms, especially when Sunraku does it in the universe. Many players find her quirks and appearance irresistibly cute. She does not seek attention from other players and feels startled when they try to hold her. Also possesses a sharp, analytical gaze during battles, making efforts to stay synchronized with Sunraku despite his unpredictability.
Emul tends to worry when Sunraku goes off track, always attempting to help, though she often gets swept along with him. While she is very attentive to Sunraku, her host, she can also be quite clever in her responses when he tries to persuade her. However, it only takes a simple offer of carrots for her to give in and accept his methods. Emul cleverly uses this to her advantage, suggesting that he might add her favorite magic book to their collection, which she has been wanting to buy. As a skilled and versatile mage, she consistently strives to be useful to him.
Plot[]
Flowers from This World, With Love[]
After Sunraku battled Lycagon the Nightslayer and received Lycagon's Marking, Vysache sent Emul to find Sunraku and bring him to Rabituza. In Secondile, Emul drops down on Sunraku's head before darting down the alley and beckoning him to follow. She summons the door to Rabituza, opening up the Unique Scenario "Invitation from Rabituza". Once he accepts the invitation and steps through the door, Emul introduces herself and leads him to her boss/father.[1] During the meeting, Vysache assigns Emul to look after Sunraku. Afterwards, she shows Sunraku to the Rabituza Inn, where he takes a rest.[3]
