Wild Arms Wiki

Emma Hetfield is a supporting character in the original Wild Arms game and its remake Wild Arms Alter Code: F. Emma was once a pupil of Zepet Roughknight and has learned how to rebuild and repair ancient technology such as ARMS. As such, she considers herself an older sister to Rudy Roughknight, once she learns who he is. It is Emma's request for help in Adlehyde that brings the party together as they clear out Lolithia's Coffin. Emma has a leitmotif, "The Bird Soaring the Sky", which is heard whenever the player party rides the Protowing in Wild Arms; the song has a remix, "Wings of the Bird God", that plays in its stead in WA:F.

Emma

Emma as depicted in the first game

After the prologue, Emma primarily serves to give missions which ultimately improve vehicles and move the plot forward. In Alter Code: F, she can be permanently recruited as a party member near the end of the game (once you find her secret laboratory), where her Download ability allows her to copy the magic powers of enemy monsters, similar to Marivel's Red Magic skill from Wild Arms 2. In that version of the story, she declares her intent for her ultimate invention: peace.
