Embry

''' Major Spoilers! Continue at your own risk '''

Embry is the titular protagonist in the game It's Not Me, It's My Basement created by ArcadeKitten.

Embry is a confirmed Non-Binary child (approximately 12 years of age) who has suffered the last 4 months attempting to tame what they believe is to be a monster(s) in their basement, who has supposedly devoured their parents, though they remark they did not see what happened, so if the monster(s) did or didn't is up to the player.

Personality
Embry is shown to be an anxious yet calm individual who gets annoyed easily. They are often seen with a stoic or worried expression, and try not to prude on the past much, though it is difficult for them. Other than that, they are patient, waiting for the monster(s) to eat the food before moving on, and optimistic to an extent, telling themself to take it day by day and convincing themself their parents are alive as well (even though there is no proof). Embry enjoys things such as reading, drawing, and gardening, doing the last two activities with their parents when they were younger. They also seem to be a curious person as well, both of their parents teaching them life lessons in the dream sequences. On top of that, they seem to be very committed to taking care of the monster(s), making sure they always get fed and visiting the Marketplace 2-3 times a week to get meat, bread, jam, etc, for the monster(s).

Though initially committed, by the end of the story Embry gives up and seemingly sacrifices themself to the monster(s), walking down the stairs of the basement to never return (from what we know anyway). From this we can figure out that Embry may not be as optimistic and strong as the player was led on to believe, and we are left without information on what happens next, it is left up to our imaginations.

Embry also appears manipulated easily, as they let their guilt get the best of them, especially in their dreams. No much else is known about Embry

Appearance
Embry has short, fluffy white hair with white eyebrows. They have lavender eyes with some purple, and blush dark blue blush (could also possibly be eyebags). Their skin color is white.

they wear a long sleeve burgundy turtleneck sweater with an apron that has a star on the middle, the apron also has a blood/jelly stain on the bottom left and a green stain on on the bottom right. They wear pink pants with white stripes and they wear turquoise bunny slippers.

Relationships
Parents: Embry had a deep relationship with their parents until their parents disappeared due to the monster. In a short dream sequence it shows embry painting with their father and in another scene it shows embry with their mother looking at a flower that they planted.

Dr. D Light: Embry and Dr. D Light had a strained relationship, with Embry not liking Dr. D Light since Lucille introduced them to him. Dr. D Light was introduced to Embry to help their parents, as Embry had created the excuse that their parents were sick to avoid questions about why they're always alone. When Dr. D Light had insisted to help Embry even after their many protests on the way over to their house, Embry seemed to have given up on stopping him. We see them interact a little while Embry shows Dr. D Light around the house and finds the basement keys which they had lost previously, before arriving to the basement, where Dr. D Light asks to go downstairs. Embry freaks out and says that he can't, though unfortunately Dr. D Light tripped and fell down the stairs after Embry kept trying to drag him away from the door. That led to Dr. D Light's untimely demise, and a whole lot of new trauma for Embry.

There is another scene with the both of them later on, that takes place in a Nightmare. In the nightmare, Dr. D Light is seen teasing Embry about his death while his mask continuously keeps slipping, before inevitably falling off and triggering a Jumpscare. It has not been confirmed if this was the real Dr. D Light or just Embry's guilt towards the situation.
