Emerald Goldenbraid

"Emerald's got a big heart."

- Female announcer of the new show

Emerald Zirconia Goldenbraid (called "Em" or "Poo-Tinkle" by her parents and "Boo-Tinkle" by her boyfriend/starmate) is one of the four main characters of the Mysticons television series, comics and chapter books. She is a teenage female dwarf, as her predecessor was a male dwarf.

Personal History[]

She is the second Mysticon Knight and a female teenage dwarf from the mining town of Rudick's Hollow who served as the Royal Griffin Wrangler and a good friend of Princess Arkayna, the "only child" to Queen Goodfey herself, even prior to becoming a Mysticon.

Appearance[]

Emerald is a dwarf who has a long blonde hair tied into a ponytail with shaved hair on top. She wears a green shirt under her purple vest, a hat with goggles, green shorts, and long bootlegs. When she turned into a Mysticon Knight, she wears a purple tank top with pants.

Personality[]

She has a big heart and is very smart in figuring difficult things out, create complex machinery and gadgets from her knowledge and expertise of dwarven technology, which she learned from her father Malachite.

She can be quite gullible and easy to deceive, falling for Kasey Boon; oblivious to the fact that he had been using her to track the Mysticons' every move via tracking bracelet. She had also believed Adakite Flowstone's tale of being a disembodied spirit; disregarding her instincts.

Mysticon Weapon[]

As Mysticon Knight, she wields a sword and can summon a shield of pink mystical energy. The shield has at least two forms, appearing as both a typical arm-mounted long shield as well as an encompassing sphere.

Additional Mystical Weapon[]

Eventually, she is given a mystical Silver Trident by Queen Truefin herself in gratitude for saving the thing most dear to her heart: her young daughter.

It can only be used underwater, capable of generating strong bursts of white electricity to induce great bodily pain from a distance or call upon those who wield said trident.

She eventually created her pink Lance of Justice to enhance her pink Unicorn Bracer temporarily. It generates powerful bursts of white lightning. It is unknown if she still wields it after destroying the Spectral Hand with it.

Mysticon Abilities[]

Her special power is never revealed in the show, but may be so in the comics or chapter books. It is not confirmed if the pink Knight Energy Shield she frequently uses counts as such.

Trivia[]

She is the only one whose hair does not change color or to a darker shade in her Mysticon form.
Her predecessor was a male dwarf who is said to have wielded a broadsword instead of the purple-and-pink Star Sword she does
Her character and personality are similar to Donatello from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
