Ema Guzmán is a Makai Alchemist and widow of Luciano Guzmán in The Carved Seal of Flames and Divine Flame. She's an occasional ally to León Luís and Germán Luís
Personality[]
Ema Guzmán is a Makai Alchemist who acts alone. She is a smart and bold person, gladly embracing the term "witch" and allowing herself to be beaten and captured solely to get into an enemy lair. She is also rather brash, as despite her harsh predicament at the hands of her captors, she remains calm and never stops mouthing off. Ema adopts a playful and teasing, yet concerned attitude towards the boy, deeply shocked and apologetic when she causes him to reveal he is still a virgin.
Despite being a Makai Alchemist, she is shown to be very adept at physical combat. She also shows some recognition of León's markings and their meaning.
Ema was once married to another Makai Alchemist named Luciano, who was eventually possessed by the Horror Arabel, making Ema vow to be the one to slay him. Ema exhibits some distaste towards Makai Knights in general, finding them arrogant for thinking she, as a Makai Alchemist and a woman, would not be strong enough to fight Horrors on her own. This further exacerbated by mistreatment she endured at hands of arrogant members of the Order who imprisoned her in light of Luciano's fall into the darkness out of fear of her becoming another Horror like him, and could not help but cynically laugh upon learning none of her tormentors returned from their hunt for Arabel. Nevertheless, she comes to the aid of León's company time and again, and is on good terms with them. After slaying Arabel so Luciano can finally rest and finding closure from her tragic past, Ema and León engage in a one-night stand. After the final battle with Mendoza, Ema parts ways with León and Alfonso, intending to return to her hometown. She reunites with the group during the events of Divine Flame, but parts ways with them unannounced once the Horror Sir Venus is defeated.
History[]
Abilities[]
- Makai Alchemist Training: Though pale in comparison to Anna Luís and Isabelle, Ema is still one of formidable Makai Alchemists in her time, not only able to survive the purge enactes by Mendoza, but also among those who able to handle average-level Horrors on her own. This helps by the fact that she is very adept at physical combat, incorporating acrobatic moves and both her already remarkable magical and alchemical skill in her fighting style. She also boasts considerable knowledge when it comes about alchemical and magical arts practiced by Makai Order as not only it enabled her to craft her own very Makai equipment in her disposal, but also recognizing markings on León's body being a powerful seal and their meaning thus worried about him.
Equipment[]
- Madō Wire: Special mono-molecular wire suggestively crafted with aid of alchemical formula she invented. Ema utilizes it to ensnare and cut through things, swinging around like grappling hook, setting up traps (from a single strand that would wound around the target's leg and alarm the user to spiderweb-like net to immobilize things) to putting up a barrier. Being imbued with magic power, Ema can use it to cast spells and perform energy attacks, but must mindful to the fact that medium to high-tier techniques would exhaust the Wire's power and render it useless thus brings at least one spare spool in case of such scenario.
- Madō Wire Launcher: An ornate spindle resembling futuristic gun designed to shoot the Madō Wire. It also devised as the focus to both manipulate the loaded Wire in the manner she desires and channeling the Wire's magic. Madō Wire Launcher comes with two accessories: stock and barrel with magnifying glass for firing an energy bolt from the distance not unlike modern-day sniper rifle which accuracy further amplified by a single strand wrapping about the target as means of marking it; and rotating barrel-like heavy accessory that projects a barrage of magic bolts akin to modern-day minigun.
- Madō Bell: A bell to expose Horrors.
- Madō Bagua Tag (formerly): Ema used several of these to conceal Gael's hideout after the latter's passing, but she no longer using them ever since.

Trivia[]
- Ema and León's relationship development after the latter assisted the former putting her husband out of his misery was met with criticism to the point of being a minor yet notable controversy among fans, mainly because the two barely had noticeable development together prior and in lesser extent, fans' denial and insistence of Lara meant to be León's love interest as opposed of catalyst for his eventual development into a true protector Alfonso and Germán wished him to be.
