His previous encounter with a Savage 10 years ago results in him becoming a Variant - one of a very small fraction of people (fewer than 10 in the world, according to Emile) who have survived exposure to the Savages and obtained a greatly increased affinity for Hundreds as a result.

She initially poses as a boy under the name Emil Crossford (エミール・クロスフォード Emīru Kurosufōdo). She and Hayato are together during the second Savage attack 10 years earlier, but Hayato only has vague recollections of the event which results in her becoming a Variant. During their encounter with the Savages at Zwei Island, Hayato realizes her true identity. She is a citizen of the Gutenberg Empire by birth, and eventually reveals that she is Emilia Gudenberg (エミリア・グーデンブルク Emiria Gūtenberugu), the Empire's third princess. Her Hundred is the Arms Shroud that is an innocence type able to change into any form of weapon, something no other Slayer's Hundred can do.

The newly-arrived Hayato is forced to duel her to prevent the expulsion of two students who arrived late to the entrance ceremony because they are looking for him at the airport when he arrived. During the duel Hayato accidentally gropes her and she goes all out and defeats him, but the duel is called a draw and the students are allowed to stay. After Hayato saves her from a Savage and, later, accidentally kisses her, she falls in love with him.
