Lore

Character Biography:

Female. Age unknown.

The wife of Vaughn Walshuted and a younger once-removed cousin to Hartz von Krueger.
As one of the Kruegers, the prestigious noble family of the De Los Empire, she was engaged to the commoner-turned-knight, Vaughn Walshuted.(1)
She was attacked by a mysterious group of assailants while staying at her summer house with her friends. Vaughn showed up just in time and rescued her,
but this incident was so traumatic to her that she'd developed hatred toward men and started acting violently in their presence, throwing things at them for instance.
Because of this, Emily's parents wanted to break up their engagement, but Vaughn refused because of his feelings for Emily. They held a quiet wedding with help from the Emperor.

(1) Her family first rejected Vaughn because he was a commoner, but Emperor Leon Heinrich III personally granted him baronship after he successfully defeated Sirocco and became a hero.

History

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Despite Emily being born into the high-ranking aristocratic family, she fell in love with her childhood friend, a commoner named Vaughn Walshuted. But due to societal norms and the differences in their familial status, their relationship was considered forbidden. Her mother disapproved of their marriage unless Vaughn was of higher status. Regardless, it did not stop Emily from deeming Vaughn her fiancee.

After Vaughn returned from the Screaming Cavern Incident as a decorated hero, Emily was elated that her fiance was rewarded with increased status by the Emperor to allow their marriage to become legitimate. However, due to unfortunate circumstance, while Emily was away at a friend's summer home prior to their marriage, she fell into a coma after an arson attack by unknown assailants.

Upon awakening from her coma, she suffered from a debilitating mental illness which made her suffer from paranoia and amnesia. Because of this, her parents wanted to break off the marriage, but Vaughn persisted that she and him still be married to prevent her from being abjured by her family. With the assistance of the Emperor, their marriage became official, and news of her condition were kept a secret from the public eye.

During the events of the main story, it is revealed by Imperial Princess Isabella that Emily had died while Vaughn was away on his expedition to Empyrean, though the details regarding her death remain unknown. Much to Vaughn's chagrin, he was unable to attend her funeral, and continued to secretly mourn her death while maintaining a false charade of his happy marriage to increase the morale of his troops.
