Intro. Emilia, the female protagonist of Re:Zero, is a silver-haired half-elf who lived frozen for a century after the Witch's attack on the Elior Forest. Raised by her aunt Fortuna and Jeuse, she became a candidate for the throne of Lúnica to combat discrimination. After being freed by Puck, her hired spirit, she was saved by Subaru after the theft of her badge. Childhood and Past in the Elior Forest Isolated Life: She lived in hiding with her aunt Fortuna and the spirit Jeuse (Petelgeuse) due to her resemblance to the Witch of Envy, Satella. Tragedy: During an attack by Pandora and Regulus, Emilia, full of anger and despair, froze the entire forest, including its inhabitants, after Fortuna's death. Thawing: She remained frozen for almost a century until the artificial spirit Puck freed her, becoming her mentor and father figure, although she forgot much of this trauma.
