Gosh I was thinking it would go in a much darker direction w Emilykos origin. I'm glad she's a cute circus girl.

So she was an outsider and wasn't brainwashed from birth like the others were that's probably why she stood out. Also why the older members were wary of her before anything even happened. A more tragic route could be that something bad happened to the whole circus troupe and the shadow house decided to let her participate or something happened to one of the original participants of the selection and she took their place willingly or forcefully
