Golden Heart

Golden Heart, a Dream Defender bearing the title of the Savior of all Children, is a supporting character who is the Dimensional Mate of Ranald's mother Belle, Hydara's wife, and Ra's mother.

## Character History

Not much is known about Golden Heart's past, but she once saved a young Cerynitis from bullies when she was a griffin cub. From that day onward, they became sworn sisters.

Golden Heart taught Cerynitis how to be brave and confident, and even taught her sword skills. She also shared the same dreams of being a Dream Defender with her. When they became adults, that dream came true. Since then, while Cerynitis stayed in Dreamland to do her tasks, Golden Heart went on to have many adventures.

### Meeting Her Future Husband

One of her adventures took her to a dimension where there was an underground island, the prison of the soul of a terrible hydra named Hydara who was sealed into his body as it decayed and then fossilized. She freed him from the seal by transferring his soul into her Stargem chest and took him to another dimension: Dreamland. After leaving his fossil body behind, Golden Heart granted him a new life as a Dreamland Beast by giving him a new solid body, powers, strength, intelligence, weapons, armor and some brand new angel wings to replace his dismantled dragon wings.

Hydara asked her why she helped him. And she answered, “Because I'm your summoning master and you were chosen as my new comrade.” Hydara felt so confused what Golden Heart just told him that, so he asked why he was chosen in the first place. He claimed that he’s a notorious villain in his world and he’s supposed to be staying in his prison forever, but Golden Heart said in her honest words, "After they put you in the seal, I sense that you have so much regrets buried deep into your heart and you realized what you did was wrong and unforgivable, but because you opened your heart even after they sealed you, you didn’t feel any anger but instead showed that you are truly sorry of whatever pain and sadness you put everyone through in the past. You wished to go someplace where you could do penance and show that you’re a newly changed dragon. That’s why you were chosen ‘cause I know every sinner and his heart can have a second chance & you will make a fine and worthy summoning comrade. And that's also why I brought you here. Because this is your chance to improve yourself and show everyone that you can atone for your sins and to know that you truly belong here in Dreamland. Answer me this: Hydara will you accept me as your new Summoning Master and Dream Defending partner?“

Hydara finally understood every word Golden Heart told him and decided to accept her as his new summoning master. So Hydara made a decision, he will do whatever she says and swore to protect his new homeland with all his heart to make up for what Golden Heart did for him by giving him another chance to atone for all of his sins and change his new life forever.

### Marriage and Family Life

Golden Heart & Hydara were a great Dream Defending Team, protecting children, leading them out from the Nightmare Realm and making children happy at their place called Dreamland where every child deserve to have a good dream time. Many years later, Golden Heart and Hydara were married at the same time as their Dimensional Mates on Earth, with Cerynitis being one of the guests attending. Sometime later, the Dream Defender Duo attended the wedding of Cerynitis and her husband, another reindeer. But after the reindeer got married, Cerynitis and her husband were called to Earth to watch over its forests. Golden Heart was sad to see her go, but Cerynitis assured her that she will not only remember their friendship but that she will keep in touch with her and meet her someday.

Later that day, Golden Heart laid an egg while her Earth Dimensional Mate is pregnant with a child and they're both looking forward to becoming parents when their child hatches or is born. They foresaw that their child and his Earth Dimensional Mate would be a hero of light in Earth and Dreamland, so they called their soon-to-be-born griffin/dragon son, Ra.

Then one day, their egg started to shake as it was ready to be hatched, same goes to their child who is about to let his mother know that it's time for him to be born, what a beautiful moment it is and they're getting close to becoming parents. But then something went wrong with their child's Dimensional Mate on Earth, their child is dying while still in his mother's womb, as he tried to stay alive in his mother's stomach but seconds later he died.

Meanwhile, in Dreamland, Golden Heart and Hydara watched in horror as their Dimensional Mates didn't notice the miscarriage Belem had, and all they do is watch, forced to wait till they noticed, suffering a broken heart. And as for their own child, he's about to hatch of his egg, first, they were happy but now they felt so sorry for their Dimensional Mates, they can feel their high hopes within their hearts even though they live in another dimension but they share the same body, soul and feeling, so they can't stand there and watch them suffer the bad news, they have to do something about it, but what?

And that's when they had a thought, there is one way to save them from the perpetual sadness of losing an only child, but it's a huge sacrifice. They have to give up their hatched child to live with their Earth Dimensional Mates as their own since both of their children share the same soul, body, and blood. So, Golden Heart and Hydara decided to send their child to Earth to live in his unborn Earth Dimensional Mate's body as a soul that found it's own home and body. And when their child is about hatch from his egg, they gently floated him down to earth, landing him in Belem's womb and inside the unborn's human body. When the right time came, he finally hatched while still in his Earth Dimensional Mate's baby body. And after that burst of light feeling, that's when the mother felt like her water broke and she's about to go into labor, and just in time she gave birth to a healthy baby boy and made his first whimper. Their Dimensional Mates were full of joy as their own child is finally here. Golden Heart's Dimensional Mate held her new baby in her arms, she cried tears of joy that she's happy that her child is going to have a great life with her, just like with Hydara's Dimensional Mate.

Even though it's hard for Golden Heart and Hydara to let their own child go and live with them on Earth now, but after all, they both share the same child, the same homeworld and now Ra shared the same soul and body with his Dimensional Mate even though his other self was somewhere in the other side but he'll be in peace and Ra will soon learn that both of his 2 parents and 2 worlds are truly where he belongs.

She gave her Summoning Stargem to Ranald once when he visited Dreamland for the first time. Golden Heart and her husband told Ranald the truth about who he is when he reached the age of 16: their son from Dreamland inhabiting his Dimensional Mate's human body, and that he can't pick between Dreamland and the Human World (Earth) since he came from the same biological parents, it's all because that his Dreamland parents are doing it for their Dimensional mates, saving them from a broken heart from their loss of their child, Ranald's late Dimensional Mate. Which he had trouble grasping, until now. After all, he could've been called Ranald when he lives with his own parents while he's called Ra when he lives with his Dreamland Parents but he has 2 (or 4) biological parents that he can't pick between.

When Ranald visited her and Hydara after the events of Pisces: Tai Chi Fist Style (Part 1),  she told him that she knows that her son's a good boy and that he will never even harm a flea. But to harm his friends, that isn't him. After her husband spoke, she reassured her son of his fears, saying that it doesn't matter if the villain's right or not. If he were, they know that he would make amends for what he did, and that's what their Dimensional Mates back on Earth taught him and the other orphans Ranald helped them raise. She adds that they remembered him telling them that he admitted his mistakes and improved himself from there. After that, Ranald hugs his Dreamland Parents and goes back to his body with their blessings.

She and Hydara watched as their son fought the Devourer of Worlds, and sealed him away with Mayari. She cried tears of joy while Hydara nuzzled up against her. Later, Ranald and Mayari met her and her husband at the Realm of the Sun's garden's lawn. Turns out, King Athos contacted Golden Heart and Hydara, asking them to bring the Star Orbs back to the Realm of the Sun's Zenith Castle. By day, they would check on the orbs, and by night, they would resume their duties of guarding the spirits of children going to Dreamland. Ra theorized that the reason Athos wanted the Orbs back in the Realm is that they absorbed the essences of Dreamland and the Sun. After the 108 Star Orbs flew to Earth, upon hearing her son tell Mayari that he has the duty of leading the future 108 Stars of Destiny and the Crusaders of the Constellations aside from his long-held duty of safeguarding the spirits of the good children of Dreamland from the Boogieman's nightmare spirits, she tells Ranald that it will take time for his leadership skills to blossom like a flower in sunlight. Ranald then gave the heart-gem he kept in his bag to his Dreamland parents. Golden Heart tells her son to visit Dreamland with his friends some time as she flew away with her husband back to Dreamland.

## Appearance

Golden Heart is an Oneiric Beast who is a griffin with golden feathers and fur, red eyes and horn, a Sun Collar Wheel on her neck, two huge golden wings, a crystal golden heart on her beak that stores Essence of the Sun and according to her, an extra fuel tank, and red earrings on her ears. Her four legs have red eagle's talons on her front feet, lion's paws with red claws as her back feet, and red bands with yellow spurs on each leg. Her right arm/front leg can form into crystallized swords - a trait she passed to her son Ra, who is Ranald's Dimensional Mate. She's bigger than her son and has an air of nobility around her.

## Personality

Golden Heart is feisty, brave, and loyal to the spirits of good children in Dreamland. She takes her job as a Dream Defender seriously and is honorable and golden-hearted. She can work with her husband and eventually, her son and his Dimensional Mate as a team. She believes that every villain deserves a second chance, as seen when she saved Hydara from his seal and gave him a new life in Dreamland as a Dreamland Beast. She is also a good friend to Cerynitis, defending her from bullies when they were young, and teaching her her sword skills, and was sad when Cerynitis and her family left for Earth, though the reindeer promised to meet her again and to keep in touch. Now that Cerynitis and her family moved to the Realm of the Moon, it may mean that Golden Heart would be filled with joy to meet her again...

As a mother and wife, Golden Heart can be strict to both Hydara before and after they married, and Ra when he was in his Dimensional Mate Ranald's human body as a spirit, but like her husband, she cares for their Earth Dimensional Mates, her son and his Dimensional Mate. To the extent that when she saw how sad her Dimensional Mate on Earth felt when her pregnancy ended in miscarriage, she and Hydara agreed to give up their hatched child to live with their Earth Dimensional Mates as their own since both of their children share the same soul, body and blood. Simply by sending their child to Earth to live in his unborn Earth Dimensional Mate's body as a soul that found it's own home and body. They did it for their Dimensional Mate's sake so that they would not be perpetually sad and broken-hearted.

She's also wise enough to give advice to him when he visits her and Hydara in his Golden Griffin Warrior Form in Dreamland.

## Powers

### Offensive

* Natural Weaponry: As a griffin, she can use her lion and eagle claws, horn and beak to attack nightmare spirits.
* Burning Sun Disc: Throws Sun Collar Wheel (horizontally or vertically) at monsters.
* Dream-Flare Fist : Wields the Sun Collar Wheel with her left arm like a chakram, and throws fiery punches at enemies.
* Nightmare X-tinguishing Dawn: Slashes nightmare monster with her Sun Collar Wheel and her Crystallized Swords changed from her right arm in an 'X' like fashion.

### Passive

* Summoning - She can use her Summoning Stargem to summon Hydara either as himself or as the Boat of Hydara.
* Dimensional Eyes - With this ability that is shared by all Dreamland Beasts, Golden Heart can view what's happening in other dimensions aside from Dreamland. As she's the Dimensional Mate of Ranald's mother, she can only view events on Earth.
* Teleportation of Objects - She and Hydara share this power and used it to teleport 3 pieces of the heart-gem to Ranald. But their sending powers were too advanced, therefore not only does it takes a while for them to charge up their teleporting powers, but they haven't learned how to send the 3 heart pieces to wherever Ranald is. So when their son is in trouble, they have no time to teach themselves how to teleport it to him in one piece, so they have no choice but to send those pieces to him even at random places that are not far from where he is. Ranald can find the heart pieces by using the magic of navigation from his locket and when he spots one like say, on the edge of the cliff, he has to pass through the rocky obstacles that are rolling towards him. It's a good thing Ranald has been training and studying his body and surroundings his whole life, so thanks for all the training at home and at his school he can overcome the obstacles and able to collect all 3 heart pieces superbly while he's still a human.
* Soul Transference - As a powerful Dreamland Beast, she can transfer a soul into a new body she creates from the soul's dreams and hopes, like with Hydara.

## Arsenal

* Multiform Weapon: CRYSTALLIZED RIGHT ARM: A big crystallized arm on her right hand that can switch between 6 different kinds of Crystallized Swords. Unlike her son's right arm, she does not need a dial to change crystallized swords. Her regular crystallized right arm can really pack a hard punch, and her claws on her right arm are so razor-sharp they can scratch through anything, even steel, like her son's.
* Sun Collar Wheel: A golden collar with the symbols of the zodiac drawn on it and red edges resembling the Sun's flames worn around her neck, spinning by itself. It was used to slay the most dangerous nightmare monsters. It can change size, and is powered by dreams of the Sun and warmth. When Hydara is summoned as the boat of Hydara, she places the Sun Collar Wheel on the bronze horn of the hydra head to act as a ship's steering wheel that she and Ra steer to ferry the children back to Dreamland.
