- "I'm here, Blitzy-kuuun! I saw your billboard! I'm here for you my love! I'll be by your side forever! BLITZY-KUUUN!!!!"
- ―Emberlynn, to Blitzo, after she arrived in Hell
Emberlynn Pinkle is a sinner demon and a minor character in Helluva Boss who made her debut in the short "Mission: Weeaboo-boo".
Appearance[]
Human[]
When she was human, Emberlynn was a short, chubby and pale-skinned young woman who sported a "quirky-goth" type aesthetic. She had black eyes (brown in few scenes) with thick eyelashes, a piercing on her left eyebrow, and pink freckles on her cheeks.
She had wavy and shoulder-length hair that was dyed in an ombre of light turquoise and pink with black roots, indicating that it was her natural hair color. She also had makeup which consists of light pink eyeshadow, and black lipstick and nail polish.
For clothing, Emberlynn wore an alternative/gothic style black sweatshirt with a pink hood, drawstrings and accents, and a pink-and-black plaid skirt. She also wore black over-the-knee stockings with pink toes and heels, along with cuffs being decorated with cat faces.
She accessorized with a pastel and gold pendant, with the wings and pentacle being outlined with gold, that inexplicably protected her from actual demons.
Sinner[]
As a sinner demon, Emberlynn retains her body shape and aesthetic, but now she takes the appearance of a light blue-furred cat-like demon with cat ears, a small hot-pink nose, and a light pink tail with the tip being the same color as her fur.
She now sports more devilish qualities, such as a pair of small black horns atop of her head, small dragon-like wings, and a mouth with sharp teeth inside. Her hair is now colored in three shades of pink, and her eyes have cyan irises with hot-pink sclera and slit pupils, with eyelids colored in a darker shade of her fur, and an extra third eye on her forehead with an extra eyebrow.
Her clothing remains the same, but with the exception of a pink dripping paw design on the center of her sweatshirt, and the cuffs of her stockings now being decorated with demon-like faces.
Personality[]
Emberlynn is shown to be a quirky, obsessive stereotypical otaku goth girl with a love for Japanese culture and a monster fetish, to such an extent that her room is covered with monster-lover memorabilia from wall to wall. As shown, Emberlynn possesses a very detached perception of reality and likely had difficulty separating it from her hyperactive imagination.
She has delusions and a lack of social skills, as shown where she had showcased multiple instances of not noticing social cues of others nor reading the mood of her surroundings. She has extreme delusions of grandeur, as shown where her immediate belief upon her room being broken into by a demon attempting to kill her was that he chose her to be his lover, acting dramatic and flirtatious from this perception.
She is further showcased to have immediately created an entire narrative about Blitzo and his life from whatever tidbits of information she got from him and has shown to fully believe it as the "truth". After Blitzo cursed using Satan's name, Emberlynn immediately came up with a delusional romantic narrative about him, Blitzo and Blitzo's "wife". Further, she believed she was "destined" to be with Blitzo, or that Satan himself wanted her as a bride alongside Blitzo, and allowed herself to be killed in order to be sent to the afterlife so she and Blitzo could be together forever. All her behavior implying that she fully and completely believed her delusions to be real.
Due to her delusional mindset, she was likewise ignorant of Blitzo's obvious discomfort to her advances, and became very persistent in getting to him to achieve her fantasized dream. Likewise, even when Blitzo attempted to point out the truth of why he was there and the reality that he wasn't there to whisk her away as his lover, Emberlynn was shown to either willfully ignore his words and twist it around to fit into her narrative, likewise ignoring any form of common sense, or her delusions are severe enough that her perception is otherwise altering it to fit into what she wants subconsciously.
Emberlynn has also shown to be a surprisingly talented writer, having come up with and written a several page story about her romantic fantasy about herself, Blitzo and Satan in a matter of seconds after coming up with her romantic-sexual narrative about Blitzo.
Upon arriving in Hell, Emberlynn immediately stalks Blitzo and finds him, loudly professing her love for him from the street outside I.M.P Headquarters.
Abilities'[]
- Immortality - As a Sinner, Emberlynn is biologically immortal, being unable to die from illnesses and unable to age, remaining the same age as when she died, thus can not die of old age and other natural causes. She also cannot die from any kind of damage to the body, and will recover from any injury, however, she can only be permanently killed with angelic weaponry.
Skillset[]
- Speed writing - Emberlynn is able to write multiple paragraphs of a story in under four seconds, with complete coherency, dialogue, and actions.
Possessions[]
Akuma no Otto Pendant
- Akuma no Otto pendant (formerly) - A necklace merchandise from Emberlynn's favorite anime series that she owned and wore as a human. As shown, the pendant is somehow able to protect its wearer from being touched by demons or harmed by their weapons via covering the wearer in a golden barrier.
History[]
Past[]
As a human, Emberlynn was a young gothic college student living in her parents' house in the suburbs. Some time seven years ago, she shipped characters "Scrimbleson" and "Shawnathan" together, which earned her the ire of an unnamed client who years later paid to have her assassinated by I.M.P, justifying that the ship is basically incest.
Helluva Shorts[]
"Mission: Weeaboo-boo"[]
Blitzo broke into her room in order to assassinate her, however, her pendant protected her from the demon. Emberlynn, after realizing Blitzo is a demon, begins to lust after him, much to his annoyance. After she acts out the current situation like a fanfiction, Blitzo gets her to remove her necklace with his knife in order to "meet him on the other side". He then stabs her dead as she moans sexually, much to Blitzo's disgust as he promptly leaves.
After her death, she became a Sinner in Hell, and upon noticing an I.M.P billboard, she found where Blitzo worked and continue to harass him via stalking him.
Relationships[]
Her parents[]
Despite being in her 20s and in college, she continues living with her parents. It is unknown what her relationship with them is, but the couple seem to be tired and driven crazy by her obsessions (like hentai) enough for her mother to question why Emberlynn won't move out. Despite this, they still seem to care about her, given as how they haven't kicked her out yet, and try not to mind her "hen-tay" hobbies too much when they mistake the sounds of Blitzo breaking in her room for it.
Blitzo[]
Upon meeting Blitzo, Emberlynn's immediate assumption is that the assassin is here to seduce her and play into her teratophiliac fantasies, even though this is obviously not the case. Eventually, Emberlynn allows herself to be killed by Blitzo so that he can "Take [her] mortal soul to Hell so that [they] can be together forever!". It is heavily unrequited, with Blitzo unceremoniously killing her via stabbing and wanting to put the mission behind him, however, Emberlynn finds him in Hell after becoming a sinner, and loudly professes her love. Blitzo does not respond, and crouches out of sight of the window to I.M.P.

Trivia[]
- She shares her voice actor, Monica Franco, with Vaggie in the Hazbin Hotel pilot, Counselor Jimmy, her mother and several other background characters.

- Her literary pseudonym, "Emberlynn Light'ness Demoanya Pinkle", may be a parody of the name "Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way" from the infamous Harry Potter fan fiction, My Immortal.

- She has a knock-off plushie of Charlie Morningstar shown in her room.
- She may be a masochist or unable to feel pain. Although she does moan while getting stabbed by Blitzo, she stops and makes a dramatic face, as if she were acting and/or pretending to like/feel the pain inflicted onto her.
- Her behavior could just be due to her delusions of grandeur and her interpreting Blitzo's murder of her as an extreme and ultimate gesture of love between a human and a demon, due to her thinking that he wants to be together with her forever in Hell.
