Cracked Mask
Ayaka is an aspiring actress who is adopted by Kurenai Midori because of her potential talent for acting, but it's pretty obvious from the very beginning that she isn't nearly as talented or as gifted as her adopted mother had hoped for. Instead, she appears to be rather clumsy and untalented since can't even get her role as a weeping willow right, and she even has to endure an embarassing lecture from her mom in front of the entire class. She pathetically summons Emna Ai in hopes of teaching her mother a lesson in attitude adjustment since she's incapable of confronting her about it herself, but she thinks twice about her decision in revenge after getting a glimpse of spending eternity in Hell.

Hell Girl
Somewhere in the vast sea of the Internet, there's a website that can only be accessed at the stroke of midnight. Known as the Jigoku Tsushin, rumor has it that if you post a grudge there, the Jigoku Shoujo will appear and drag whoever torments you into the inferno. Very little is known about the girl - all we know for sure is that she lives with her equally enigmatic grandmother, that three magical straw dolls accompany and serve her, and that whenever a posting on the Jigoku Tsushin moves her, she becomes the Jigoku Shoujo.
