Enma Ai is the Jigoku Shouji (Girl from hell) and is the main
character of the series. She tend to wear a black and red trimmed school
uniform except when she is ‘working’ when she wears a black kimono
with colored flowers (looks a little different in the second series).
She receives request for vengeance through a website which can
only be accessed at exactly midnight and only by those who truly was
revenge. After getting a request she gives the person a doll with a red
string indicating that by pulling the string a contract is agreed to
take the target of revenge to hell in exchange for that person going to
hell when they die. Enma is assisted by three people Ichimoku Ren,
Hone Onna and Wanyuudou.
Each of these assistants can turn into the dolls she gives to the
persons requesting revenge. During the first series it is always
Wanyuudou that turns into the doll but in the second series it varies
between the three of them. She has some strange link to the girl called
Tsugumi resulting in what she is seeing being transmitted to her
sometimes. Enma has a tragic history that turned her into the hell girl
revealed in the later episodes of the series.
Enma appears to have some very strong powers creating complex
illusions, teleporting people and in some rare cases fire large bolts
of dark energy. Her most powerful ability is to send people to hell,
however she only ever uses this when she has a confirmed request from
someone.
