[[folder:Embry]]
The protagonist of the game, a pale, white-ahired child who has to feed a monster living in their basement after it ate their parents.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Deconstructed. Embry's single-minded devotion to keeping the monster fed stresses them out and isolates them from everyone who could help them. It also effectively costs them their childhood, as taking care of the monster leaves them no time to paint or garden, two things they enjoyed very much in the past.
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: Both Dr. D. Light and the monster accuse Embry of having this mindset and blaming all of their troubles on either the monster or the people who are just trying to help them, in an effort to avoid taking responsibility for their life.]]
* PromotionToParent: A pretty dark example. After their parents' deaths, Embry was basically promoted to the monster's "parent", as the one who houses and feeds it.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: The ending has Embry enter the basement by themselves, finally ready to confront the monster. As soon as their sprite disappears, the game ends.]]
