Emma (エマ Ema) is a minor character of Genshi Shonen Ryu. She was a member of the Musasabi tribe and had a pet black panther named Blackie. She lived with her grandmother and the surviving members of the tribe. The "Mountain God" (a volcano) killed her parents and half of the members of her tribe because they didn't sacrifice Emma to it, as they used to do to young girls, to appease the "Mountain God" (though this is more likely just a coincidence). Her parents were among the casualties that day.
She met Ryu when Blackie attacked him and she led them into her tribe, because Don was sick after falling into the frozen river. She offered meat for them, but seemed a little jealous for Ran because Emma herself was a little enamored with Ryu. One day while she was swimming in the lake, Ryu came to her. Embarrassed Emma quickly put on her loincloth and at the same time the volcano started to rumble. She told Ryu about the "Mountain God" and that a young girl has to be sacrificed to him. Ryu however, who was more scientific than religious or superstitious, was alarmed by this and claimed that sacrificing anyone to the volcano won't stop it at all.
When Emma noticed Ryu, Ran, and Don were missing, she asked her grandmother if they were going to sacrifice Ran to the "God" and kill Ryu. Her grandmother answered affirmatively and Emma asked not to kill Ryu. Then her grandmother said that if Ryu manages to save Ran, she would have to sacrifice her own granddaughter, even if she doesn’t want to do it. Later, Emma helps Ran to escape and when Taka, Tome and Karim appeared, she fought them with Blackie. When Taka threw a spear towards Ryu, Emma went in front of Ryu and the spear hit her back instead of him. Fatally wounded, Emma asked Ryu and the others to leave her before finally succumbing to her injuries.
While her death may have been an accident, her grandmother may have accepted her body as a suitable sacrifice, but as Ryu predicted the volcano that bore the status of the tribes' god erupted anyway.
