Strix Emerilla was a female Spotted Owl, or Strix occidentalis, who was the daughter of Strix Hurthwell and Strix Strumajen and sister of Strix Miralda during the time of the legends of Ga'Hoole. She was well known for being an excellent fighter with the short ice blade, and mentioned by Otulissa to have been an esteemed weathertrix.
History[]
To Be a King[]
Emerilla was at the rotting Ice Palace, which had been taken over by a mad owl named Shadyk. She used the false name of Sigrid and posed as a servant, meanwhile planning the assassination of Shadyk for his corrupt and torturing behavior.
Theo, a Great Horned Owl who served King Hoole and was the brother of Shadyk, met Emerilla. Earlier, he set out to find her and report to her mother. When Emerilla asked how he found her, Theo simply replied he just knew. She later told him of his brother's nature and the planning assassination. The two owls later escaped the Ice Palace, when two guards attacked them.
After the battle of Long Night, Hoole met Emerilla at the Ice Palace, saying she was at the Ice Narrows. Emerilla was confused, as she hadn't been. Then another owl who looked like her appeared. The other Emerilla was Lutta, a hagsfiend changling who had had a change of heart. Strix Strumajen killed Lutta, however, before she could explain herself, and then embraced her daughter, though it is suggested Emerilla might have felt pity for Lutta later on. Hoole and Emerilla later became mates and had chicks, finally leading down to Otulissa.
Trivia[]
- According to Svarr, Lord Arrin had wanted Emerilla as his mate, despite her being a Spotted Owl and him being a Snowy.
