Reincarnated Characters
This is a list of named reincarnated character in My Next Life as a Villainess!:


 * Sophia Ascart (reincarnation of Atsuko Sasaki)
 * Katarina Claes (reincarnation of Emika Yuhikari)

Sasaki Atsuko
She is Katarina's best friend in her past life. Due to her grief and regret of losing her best friend Emika, she wished in her heart to be able to meet Katarina again in another life, leading her to be reincarnated as Sophia Ascart, a character in Fortune Lover.

Emika Yuhikari
Katarina Claes is an admirable lady who was born in nobility and has an unexpectedly tense personality. Before her reincarnation, she was a normal high school girl named Emika Yuhikari. She was addicted to reading manga, watching anime and playing otome games, such as “Fortune Lover ”.

Appearance
Emika Yuhikari was a young girl with round brown eyes and messy short brown hair. She was a high school student with average height and is often seen wearing a school uniform.

Background
In Volume 3 of the manga, it's depicted that Emika was constantly playing her games till late night, as a result, she was always late for class; and for the same reason, she was failing most of her subjects. To stop this from happening, her mother always had to come upstairs and wake her up in the morning. Her parents often scolded her - reminding her the responsibilities that Emika has as seventeen year old; reminiscent to her current life as Katarina, that even in her previous life, couldn’t do anything properly without the help and support of her friends and family.

Emika lived in a normal household, with both parents and two older brothers. She also had a wonderful grandmother who loved to spend time in the fields. Emika loved eating the cucumbers grown by her grandmother, and would prefer to eat it for breakfast over bread. In both universes, Katarina (Emika) is well known for her uncontrollable appetite.

Acchan was her best friend and fellow otaku, and their regular dynamic involves Acchan keeping her in-line with school work, in exchange for stories and games. She is not aware, but with confirmation from the Light Novels and Manga, her best friend wished to be reincarnated in order to become friends with her again.

Trivia

 * In her past life, Emika had the nickname "Wild Monkey" due to her love and skills in climbing trees.
 * Emika did not only climbs trees, but also hills. This has caused rumors in her area about a giant monkey hiding in the woods.
 * Emika died from getting hit by a moving vehicle at an intersection.
 * In the StoryMe game, it is implied that Emika had played Fortune Lover in this order: Keith, Alan, Geordo (attempted, before she died) and Nicol (she wasn't able to play his route)
 * When Acchan asks Emika how her playthrough of Fortune Lover was going during her comatose state, she had mentioned that she had just finished Alan's route, implying that it was the one she had finished before attempting Geordo's, and dying.
