Here's a really crazy theory but hear me out

What if echidna (of all people) was Emilia's mother

Now we know that Emilia's dad was an elf

His mother However is supposed to be human

Echidna has the witch gene of greed but she was human herself

There's also 2 echidna one 400 years old (in beako and Rosewall era)

One is the one Subaru and Emilia met in the memory palace

It was clearly mentioned that those two were different persons

And further facts supporting it is

1) the way she tried helping Subaru in the first trial 2) she proposed what was in her opinion the most logical choice 3) the fact that she till the end remained friendly towards her (well as friendly as a witch can be anyway)

Also in Emilia's scenerio 1)even though she was acting a bit rude towards her she was pretty supportive of her while she doing trial 2)she called her stubborn like her mother (stating she had atleast known her mom..

TBH echidna can be pretty stubborn considering how she hated envy)

So here's a theory of what happened

She was somehow able to break a part of her soul after dying and transcribed it on a human (which looked like the echidna in the dream castle.... remember she's doing same thing with anaesthesia right now) or made a contract with her mom she fell in love with his dad and they had a showdown with pandora in sanctuary they died but Dona was able to copy her consciousness into the trail system
