## Bio

Esmeralda is a young girl with mint green hair that reaches to her lower back, partly tied in a ponytail, and hot pink eyes. After she gets Stage 3, her hair is sparkly, slightly longer, and gains a fade of gold. Her Harmony Mark is a gold sun with a reddish-pink heart inside it and blue rays only on the right half. As a civilian...

* In Season 6, she wears a pale pink puffy-sleeved top, dark green sweatpants, and black wedge heel lace-up boots.
* In Season 10, (WIP).
* As a semi-immortal adult at the end of the GBC, her outfit is shown to consist of (WIP).

Per her wish, her magical warrior form is quite bizarre. While transformed, she changes species from a human to a Princess Celestia-sized (presumably around 6 feet tall) alicorn pony. Esmeralda's coat and wings are light pink, while her long flowing mane is an even lighter shade of pink and her tail (which is the same color) is braided and tied with a gold ribbon. Her eyes are sky blue and almond-shaped, and she has a long rainbow-colored horn. Her outfit consists of a gold-colored dress with a frilly white neckline and a white petticoat layer under the skirt, four goldenrod-colored heeled boots with white stockings, a watermelon pink "waistband," on her dress, earrings shaped like hot pink suns with a teardrop below, and a gold crown (containing her Harmony Gem which is shaped like a heart with a diamond shape above it). Her Elemaximum Gauge (with the rays now shaped like a star) is on her dress above where her normal cutie Mark would be.

After she gets Stage 3, her outfit is modified. Her collar becomes smooth and less ruffled while her pink "waistband" is replaced with a transparent pink cape (similar to a wedding veil) over her back. Her stockings are also removed and her boots are replaced with gold ballet slippers with "ankle straps" (or at keast the closest approximation for a pony). Her "sleeves" for her front legs also become white and poofy.

### Personality

Esmeralda is a joyful, cheerful, optimistic, and imaginative girl who loves cute things and fashion. She is very energetic and often cannot sit still for more than a few seconds. She is shown to have a wild, sometmes wacky imagination similar to Hime from *Happiness Charge Pretty Cure*, often thinking up crazy scenarios. It is also shown that she is an amateur novel and fanfiction writer. At times, however, she sometimes acts quite bratty, pushy, childish, and spoiled. She is also mischievious sometimes, as shown when she and Bonnie put shampoo (laxatives in the original Japanese version) into Fennel's coffee as a prank, causing her to run to the bathroom to vomit (in the dub) after she drinks it. This often results in her turning on Nanette's berserk button, although she truly doesn't mean any malice and just wants to make her friends smile.

### Relationships

* **Bonnie Lisco**: Esmeralda and Bonnie quickly become best friends despite their age gap. Despite Bonnie already having wings when transformed, she sometimes rides on Esmeralda's back in battle.

### Etymology

* Her Jaoanese surname **Hanahoseki** means "flower jewelry" while her Japanese name **Tama** means "gem."
* Her English name, **Esmeralda**, means "emerald" in Spanish.

## Magical Abilities

She normally does not transform unless necessary. However, in her magical warrior form, Esmeralda posesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly, as well as the Elemaximum ability granting incredible power unique to her for a limited amount of time. Being an alicorn, she also posesses telekinesis.

(WIP)

### Spells

Being a messiah, her magical ability is very limited in civilian form compared to the others. Her sole spell allows her to give someone beautiful-looking eye makeup of her choosing.

## Pokémon

* Chespin (Radish; partner Pokémon)
* Fletchling -> Fletchling-> Fletchinder (Scott)
* Goomy -> Sligoo -> Goodra (Aquafina)

## Magical warrior

Esmeralda is a Love/Sun Elemental who represents the Element of Happiness. Her theme color (costume color) is gold with a sub of pink, and her weapon is her horn.

### Attacks

* **Yellow Tourmaline Sun** - Esmeralda's main purification finisher.
* **Cupid's Sparkle** - One of her damamging sub-attacks.

## Trivia

* Esmeralda is the only magical warrior who changes species when transformed (not counting Shawn Stonebeach, who becomes a merboy). This is due to a loophole regarding wishes, since while a Chosen One does not normally choose their powers or costume, they *can* wish for specific powers or a specific appearance. In her case, she wishes to be an alicorn when transformed, though she is assigned love and light powers to go with it.
* As a running gag, she sometimes throws tantrums over not being able to transform whenever she wants, as shown when Clemont witches out and she defiantly goes into the witch barrier anyways despite it being extremely dangerous if not transformed. If it weren't for Nanette, Calem, Applejack, Bailey, and Nina forcibly dragging her out and making her go sit outside, the robotic witch would have *boiled her alive* with his blasts of scalding-hot motor oil while the others are unharmed by the attacks.
	+ In a deleted scene from the episode, she *does g*et a third-degree burn before Applejack uses her magic lasso and drags her out, but it was scrapped due to being too graphic.

* Due to the absence of the Porters and thus Melody from the series, Esmeralda instead takes on a slight bit of her backstory: as she mentions in her story of "The Marking Chronicles," her parents were infertile and doctors told them that they had no chance of having a baby without magical intervention, which devastated them. However, a few weeks later, her mother suddenly became pregnant spontaneously after experiencing a magical glow for several seconds a few days prior and eventually gave birth to Esmeralda. Unlike Melody in other series, this is not changed in the rewritten timeline.
* Esmeralda's transformation sequence is *extremely* unique: it takes elements from Yuni's transformation in *Star Twinkle Pretty Cure*, as at the beginning of the sequence before she even activates her necklace and gem and says the tranformation phrase, she quickly morphs into a pony in silhouette, albeit without her costume or accessories yet.
