💧Love interest
Wade Ripple
Fire and water — a fundamental opposition. Yet Wade is the first person Ember has ever shown her real self to.
🔥Father
Bernie Lumen
Her greatest love and her greatest burden. The fear of disappointing him is what kept her trapped for so long.

01Director Peter Sohn is a second-generation Korean-American immigrant; he has said the film is inspired by his own parents' story.
02Ember's emotion-reactive flame color required a new simulation technology developed by Pixar's tech team, years in the making.
03"Ember" means a glowing coal, and "Lumen" is a unit of light. Her name carries her essence — a small light that refuses to go out.
💭Personality Deep Dive
