Emma von Rosewald
CharacterEmma von Rosewald was the former mistress of the Rosewald family, the German branch of the Tsukiyama line. When investigators struck her household, her husband bought her escape with his life, yet she survived only a short while afterward before dying of unknown causes.
Appearance
Emma carried herself as a refined lady, her dress elegant and her bearing dignified in the manner of the rest of her relatives. Notably, dark shadows sat heavy beneath her eyes, though whether they came from the strain of having her family marked for extermination or were simply a feature of hers is never made clear.
Personality
Her character is essentially undocumented, as she is never shown speaking and collapsed soon after fleeing the raid on her family.
History
A decade before the present, Matsuri Washuu led a party of investigators against the Rosewald estate. Emma's husband sent her off with their children and gave his own life to cover their flight. She did not long outlive him, however, dying of unexplained causes not long after, until in the end only Kanae remained to carry the family's name forward.
