* BeautifulSexualAssaultVictim: Emily's reason for fleeing America for Japan hinges on this. She was raped by her stepfather and her neighbors' sons at 13, and ''she'' was ultimately blamed for it, since everyone assumes because of her beauty that she seduced them. She finds that she's rather ugly by Japanese beauty standards, and as a result desperately tries to stay there rather than return to America.
