Aha! I found a potential opponent for Emma. Looks like my hard work is finally paying off.

Both Emma and Lulua are adopted commoners who are also mages in-training (Lulua is more of an alchemist, but still follows the same principles as alchemy is considered magic in the Atelier games), and really talented individuals who turn out to be important scions to the stability of their worlds. Both were tasked to investigate ancient ruins which are important keystones to their world's origins (the Old Schoolhouse and Spirit Shrines for Emma, the Fellsgalaxen and Orthogalaxen ruins for Lulua), with said ruins becoming part of their resolve to protect someone very important to them. They also play the role as the support party member/healer of their teams, and it's revealed late in their story arcs that they've been played by close acquaintances from right under their noses.
