Ai Enma is the protagonist or leading character of this anime series yet she is also the anti-heroine. She is the girl with a long, straight, jet black hair and her eyes has the color of the finest rubies. She usually wears a seifoku or a black with white sailor collar uniform. However, when is out on a mission she always wear a black kimono with floral designs.
Ai is the one called Hell Girl, she is also the captain of the Hell correspondence team which can only be reached on the internet at midnight. Her ability to ferry souls in the depths of Hell and conjure vivid and realistic illusion that could wear down any target made her the best suited for this job. She became hell girl when she avenged herself from the villagers who sentenced her with sacrificial execution, as part of the village's tradition. Her eyes changed from deep brown, into crimson red when the first shovel of soil was thrown in her face as they buried her alive. Right after she broke out of her grave, she burned her village to the ground, along with the residence of the place she came from; the people who took her life away.
Being Hell Girl was given to her by the God of Hell not as something as prize but a punishment of the crime she did. The Hell God changed her name into Enma Ai and the God also demanded from from her that she locks away all her personal hatred and emotions so she could perform her duties well. The Hell God gave Ai her immortal form. Enma Ai, accepted all of this from the Hell God just so her love ones will be liberated from hell and be able to enter Heaven. Therefore,this is a kind of a martyr sacrifice from someone who ferries soul into hell.
Right now, Ai lives with her grandmother in the shores of Hell; a place forever frozen in time as it basks in an eternal sunset. They live in a small hut with an old computer inside where she receives messages in Hell Correspondence.
Despite Ai's apathetic and deathly expression, she still has some feelings left, just waiting patiently in her sealed heart.
