Hikari Emiko's Links
Hikari Emiko is the niece of Yae Rieko. Since Rieko is much wilder and rebellious than Emi’s mother Yae Miko, Emi often found herself inspired by Rieko’s adventures and travels and developed the wish to - unlike her mothers - leave the shrine more often and see the whole of Teyvat.
Yae Rieko is the aunt of Hikari Emiko. Rieko knows that Emiko is the love child of her sister and the almighty Shogun. It makes her happy to see that Emiko seemed to combine the best qualities of both, with a little bit of spite - Rieko says that this quality comes directly from herself.
Ever since Emiko can imagine Ciela had been around as an advisor of her mother Raiden. At first Emi did not really understand what made Raiden Ei trust Ciela with such important matters even though she was not family by blood, but her aunt Rieko told her that Ciela reminded Raiden of her sister Makoto who - unfortunately - Emi never got to meet. Emiko sometimes visits Ciela whenever she feels a bit lost and overwhelmed. The Natlan witch always found the right words.
Ciela had always been one to get along well with younger trainees like Emiko, but she knew that specifically this young lady had a lot of eyes on her, due to her origins. Ciela likes Emiko a lot and helps her out whenever Emi needs someone to talk to. She admires how clever Emi is already, even though she is just old enough to be called an adult.
Emiko got to know both Tempest and Heiwa because they ended up at the shrine after being mysteriously found with no one knowing where they came from. Since Emiko was quite a few years older than the twins she got asked to keep an eye on them. At first, Emi did not like the thought of being a “babysitter” but to her surprise she soon grew very fond of the twins and nowadays she treats them as if they were her younger siblings.
While traveling through Teyvat Emiko eventually reached the far away region of the hydro archon - Fontaine. This is where she got to meet Nasia. No matter the differences, no matter the constant teasing, Emiko knows she can always count on Nasia whenever she needs her. She is one of Emi’s closest friends and it makes her happy to see the other one open up more and more as they spend time together.
