Resolute GrouchRetainer to Embla

Elm: Resolute Grouch
The retainer to Embla, Elm fought against the Order of Heroes—but now, he's come to celebrate the New Year with us in Askr! I wonder if all the seasonal goodies here played a part in that...	Elm's celebrating in style, handsomely attired in a kimono and eye-catching headpiece for the New Year. It's certainly an impressive look, but I'm just glad that we can have fun celebrating together instead of fighting!	He's also carrying a hagoita decorated with a bat design. You know, I just realized that it's wearing the same headpiece as Elm!	We're lucky to have him visit on friendly terms, so I hope he enjoys seeing how we celebrate the New Year! But you'd better watch out, Elm—if you lose the game of hanetsuki, you'll end up getting marks painted on your face!

Elm: Retainer to Embla
Elm serves as the retainer to Embla, God of Closure. He's a Hero who sometimes has a bit of a sharp tongue!	Working in secret on Embla's orders, Elm attacked Ash, retainer to the god Askr, and Veronica, princess of the Emblian Empire!	In battle, Elm takes the form of a bat, confounding his foes with his swift movements. We weren't fans of his vicious claws when he turned them against us, either.	Elm makes for a dangerous opponent, but he's Embla's retainer and the only person she trusts. I guess there must be some close bond between the two that we don't know about!
