'''Emi Ibarazaki''', despite having legs amputated below the knee, is perhaps one of the most cheerful, happy-go-lucky girls in [[Yamaku]], if not in the entire world. An avid runner, Emi views her leglessness with reckless abandon, exploiting her condition to its fullest in order to be the best of the best at track. As comes with such determination, Emi is exceptionally stubborn, often pushing herself (not to mention [[Hisao]]) too hard, resulting in more than the occasional trip to the [[Nurse]], with whom she remains on good terms.

Emi Ibarazaki, despite having legs amputated below the knee, is perhaps one of the most cheerful, happy-go-lucky girls in Yamaku, if not in the entire world. An avid runner, Emi views her leglessness with reckless abandon, exploiting her condition to its fullest in order to be the best of the best at track. As comes with such determination, Emi is exceptionally stubborn, often pushing herself (not to mention Hisao) too hard, resulting in more than the occasional trip to the Nurse, with whom she remains on good terms.

Relationships

Family

Emi is on good terms with her mother, Meiko, visiting home from Yamaku with some regularity; it seems that Emi takes after her somewhat, with her matter-of-fact, no-buts approach to life. Not much is known about her deceased father, other than his being a runner, inspiring Emi to take up the sport in his honor.

Students

An unlikely combination, Rin and Emi are best friends, despite Emi's insistence that Rin should do more sports and Rin's reciprocal disdain of Emi's 'horsing around'. In any case, they are supportive of each other, with Rin attending track meets and Emi helping out with Rin's mural. As the housing department thought that they'd 'complement each other' (that is, they have access to all limbs between them), they live across the hall from each other, where they presumedly originally met.

Emi is additionally a member of the track team, and so relatively close with Miki, the track team captain, and other teammates. Besides this, she appears to be on reasonable terms with Lilly and Misha, and neutral with Shizune and Hanako.

Staff

Emi has known the Nurse for years, and so he fulfils more of the role of an uncle than that of a member of the Yamaku staff. She visits his office every morning after running practice for a checkup on her prostheses and a general chat; he is privy to at least parts of her private life as well as her medical needs.
