Emily. The outcast exchange student.

Emily thought she had won the lottery when she was accepted for the exchange program in Japan. She had been studying Japanese in her American high school for the first two years of school, and it was her life's dream to live in Japan. While she was normally outgoing and popular in America, it was clear that while she knew the technicals of speaking Japanese, she didn't understand the culture well enough to fit in.

At her new school in Japan, she's a loner. Often the victim of bullying for being so strange and different, this only made her become less sociable and more scared of her fellow students, which made her an easier target. This feedback loop resulted in the Emily we have today. A girl who just wants to go home and escape the daily life of being the school's biggest punching bag.
