Emu Otori

Personality

A bundle of energy and innocence. Emu dreams of carrying the torch for her grandfather's theme park, Phoenix Wonderland, and was prepared to part ways with the rest of Wonderlands X Showtime as they pursued their own dreams. However, with encouragement from her brothers and fellow troupe members, she has decided that in order for her to grow, she needs to venture out into the world. With a cheerful and somewhat naive personality, Emu is highly impulsive, acting on every idea that she comes up with, with a tendency to drag people around her into her plans. Emu has established her own personal catchphrase, "Wonderhoy!☆" (「わんだほーい!☆」), which she uses as a way to motivate herself and others. Though she is often in a joyful mood, Emu often neglects her more negative feelings, putting on a smile as to not worry those around her. Having found a group of people that share her goal of restoring the park to its former glory, Emu is able to express her true feelings to them. Emu also seems to have a keen intuition when it comes to the sincerity of a person's expressions, as she is terrified of Mafuyu, noting that although Mafuyu is smiling on the outside, it doesn't feel "right". Though she seems airheaded, Emu is very smart and has placed in the top 3 of her school's exams.

Appearance

Her casual outfit consists of a puffy pink jacket (also covered with stickers and a badge or two), a yellow shirt, and blue overalls with gold button going down the front, followed by a pair of tennis shoes. In her second year, her casual outfit consists of a pastel yellow hoodie with a yellow triceratops through the pocket and a hot pink hood, sleeves, and hem, and loose denim shorts.

Sexuality and Identity

Emu's pronouns are she/her/hers, and she identifies as female. She is on the asexual spectrum, not very attracted to anyone sexually.

Background and Profile

Emu is the daughter of the owner of Phoenix Wonderland, and grew up watching shows in the park. After seeing Tsukasa fail his audition, she hires him, along with Nene and Rui, to return the dilapidated Wonder Stage to its former glory. Emu wants to perform on the small Wonder Stage and keep it alive, as it was her late grandfather's favorite stage. She was inspired to make others smile by her grandfather, whom she greatly looks up to, though he passed two years before the main story. As a first year, Emu was classmates with Honami in Class 1-B. As a second year, she is classmates with Saki and Shiho in class 2-B. She was part of the Sports Festival Executive Committee with Saki and Haruka.

Relationships

Tenma Tsukasa: Fellow group member and friend. They're working together to restore Phoenix Wonderland's Wonder Stage to its former glory. Emu likes his loud personality and finds him fun to be around, to Tsukasa's occasional annoyance. She is also shown to have a great amount of admiration for him after he defends her and the stage against Emu's brothers. Emu seems to look up to him, appreciative of his kindness towards his own younger sister, in comparison to her own brothers' more neglectful attitude towards her. Kusanagi Nene: Fellow group member and friend. Emu thinks she's extremely talented at singing, while Nene thinks Emu is a weirdo alongside the rest of their troupe. Despite this, Nene is shown to genuinely care very much for Emu, and is quick to stand up for her to Emu's brothers. Nene wants to help Emu achieve her goal. Kamishiro Rui: Fellow group member and friend. Emu is impressed by his over-the-top tendencies and thinks he is fun, while Rui thinks she's wonderfully bizarre. Rui and Emu sync very well, the two being able to communicate even when Tsukasa and Nene do not understand them.
