The new detective of AJ (see Ema's older profile
here).
Personality: Ema still loves science with a child-like
enthusiasm, but when she's not showing off her investigative skills, she's
usually in a grumpy mood. She's very dismissive of people she doesn't want
to talk to.
Misc Facts: Since returning from overseas Ema has developed an
obsession with fried dough cakes (Japanese snacks, called karintou) and
can often be identified from far away by the sound of her crunching on
them. They make good projectiles as well.
Ema's not all that happy about being a detective, and complains often that
she'd rather be working with science.
Friends and Family: Ema is Lana's younger sister. Their parents are
deceased. She works a lot with Klavier, but because of his teasing, rock
star attitude she spends more time complaining about him than anything.
Name Origin:
English: "Skye" is a reference to her Japanese name.
Japanese: The kanji in Houdzuki mean "treasured moon" or "jeweled
moon." Her first name may come from the phrase akane sasu sora, meaning "a
glowing sky."
Background: Because Ema's parents died when she was very young, she
was raised by her older sister, Lana. She was first introduced into the
series in PW:AA case 5, where she acted as Phoenix's sidekick (as Maya was
absent). It was then that we learned of her involvement in an old case
police investigation, and also her trouble with her sister. With Phoenix's
help she was freed of any guilt and two important cases were solved (see
SL-9 and case 1-5). At the end of PW:AA, Ema left to study forensics
abroad.
She only just recently returned, and took up a position as a detective
when she failed her proficiency test to work in forensics.
