Personality
Emi is an air-headed and free-spirited individual, often displaying little to no care to the world and usually does things at her own pace. She is often seen at a balcony or a konbini, drinking beer. Despite coming off as the stereotypical airheaded, apathetic character, she has a semblance of duty and lives independently prior to joining Hannari, living off of doing backstage work in Veludo Way and performinng well when her part time jobs require it.

Background
Born and raised in the southernmost tip of Japan to an American mother and a Japanese father. After high school, she abruptly moved to Tokyo and opted to study literature at Yosei University.

Etymology
Takei (武井), while written with characters meaning 'warrior' (武, take) and 'well' (井, i), roughly translates to 'bamboo well'.

Emilia (エミリア, emiria) means to "rival" or "excel", derived from feminine form of the Roman clan Aemilius, which itself is derived from the Latin word aemulus.
