**Malachite**  is a male contestant in *Paper Puppets Take 2*. He was a member of Team 47.

## Appearance

Malachite is an overall very angular character (his current asset being a dodecagon) whose body consists of a light, dark, and regular peacock green. Two pentagons and one hexagon of a lighter aqua color can be seen near the top of his body. According to YellowAngiru's height chart, he is taller than Santa Hat, but shorter than Post-It Note.

In his older designs, he was a more solid green color, and in Episode 3 alone, he had ripple-like markings on his asset.

## Personality

Malachite is a kind character overall, with even YellowAngiru calling him "Disciplined and Noble". He is very loyal to Team 47 and those he deems friends/allies, which was especially shown when he decided to stay instead of leave for Team Bracket.

He is known to joke around however, such as in Episode 4 where he teases Chainsaw.

## Coverage

### Episode 1: Show On The Road

In Episode 1 of Paper Puppets take 2, Malachite was one of the last people to get splattered with a paintball. He would've gotten Globe out if not for the fact he squished the paintball too hard and got paint on himself instead.

### Episode 2: Culinary Catastrophe

In Episode 2, he helped Team 47 win the challenge by making the cake part of their dish with Ukulele, Chainsaw, and Slipper.

### Episode 3: Blue Nightmares

In Episode 3, Malachite is first seen walking into Mr. H Laboratories with the rest of the contestants. After that, he's seen with Team 47 as Chainsaw and Treasure Chest point to "a random hole in the hallway". He isn't sure why it's there, but strongly believes there's a bag down there. As the group compiles things to prepare to send someone down the hole, Malachite brings out two walkie talkies he says he "always carries around". The next time he is seen is with Chainsaw, the two supposedly having run from a monster prior (or at least, according to Globe). Malachite suggests they keep running, but doesn't have an answer as to why when Chainsaw asks. Globe then runs into him after encountering a Blue Monster, and after shouting at him, Malachite smacks him before telling him to get up. He then goes to leave with Chainsaw, only for Globe to request to tag along. After some debate, the duo agrees to let him tag along. Globe later finds a bag for the two, and after Chainsaw finds a bag on the floor, Malachite suggests that he give it to Globe because he helped them before. The two get into an argument before Globe shouts at them to turn around, as one of the Blue Monsters is watching. The two then exclaim "Oh crap!" and run away with Globe. He isn't seen until the end of the episode, with the rest of Team 47.

### Episode 4: The Paper Pelican

In Episode 4, Malachite is seen sitting with team 47 as Journal explains what happened in the previous episode. He laughs with the others after Journal finishes before asking if Journal really expects the group to believe what he told them. He eventually leaves with the other members as none of them believe Journal despite his pleas. Malachite later appears asking about the challenge as Gold Ingot explains it, asking "what's stopping the princess from just jumping down?" (Gold Ingot responding that it would be too easy). During the challenge, Malachite jokingly calls up to Chainsaw, saying "Don't worry, Princess. We'll save you". After Chainsaw says not to call him "princess", Malachite then adds "Hold tight, so I'll be able to give you a big fat kiss!" before laughing, to which Chainsaw replies that he wishes he were in another castle. Malachite later appears when Ukulele suggests Team 47 form a "human tower" to reach Chainsaw, stating "that [it] might actually work". He helped his team form a tower (going from heaviest to lightest), being lifted by Treasure Chest and thus (possibly) being the second heaviest member in Team 47. After Bubble Wrap got Chainsaw down from the tower, Malachite was not seen for the rest of the episode.

### Episode 5: Subordinate Solvers

In Episode 5, Malachite is first seen during the challenge's beginning, carrying a puzzle piece block with Chainsaw. Chainsaw then lets go of his end of the block without warning, causing Malachite to also drop his end of the block on his foot. After exclaiming "what was that for?!" Chainsaw simply replies with "I guess you could use that "big fat kiss" to kiss your boo-boo better", as a reference to what was said in Episode 4. Chainsaw then leaves Malachite to do the rest of the work as the latter calls the former a jerk.

### Episode 6: Don’t Press It!

Malachite did not make an appearance throughout the entire episode.

### Episode 7: All Fun & Games

In Episode 7, Malachite was first seen calming Treasure Chest down after he'd confronted Team Bracket over cheating. After Treasure Chest explained he was worried about everyone splitting up from the team, Malachite further added that he didn't plan to (along with Ukulele and Bubble Wrap). He doesn't show up until later in the episode, where he is seen attempting to grab a ball from a claw machine. He fails, calling the game "completely rigged", only for Topper T. Hat to show up and explain to him how his carnival works. Malachite calls it "messed up", to which Topper replies "Welcome to the real world, kid".

### Episode 8: Rowdy Runaway

In Episode 8, Malachite is first seen in a shot with (almost) everyone else gasping after Gold Ingot exclaims the challenge is to catch Pan escaping from the elimination. After that, he's seen with the rest of Team 47 as Treasure Chest explains his plan to catch Pan with some nets he got from the PPT2 Office. After Treasure Chest runs off with Journal in pursuit of Team Bracket, Malachite races after them, grabbing onto Journal's leg as the golf cart drives off. Chainsaw proceeds to drive the cart over a rock however, causing Journal and Malachite to fall off. Malachite catches up with Journal by the waterfall shortly after, asking if he's alright, only to be dismissed by him as he leaves.

### Episode 9: Picture Perfect

In Episode 9, Malachite is seen in the opening talking with Ukulele about Journal. Just as he is about to leave to "find out for himself", Journal shows up, prompting him to lie and say he was "heading to the elimination" instead. During the elimination, he comments on Silver's cupcakes along with the rest of the team, and the votes later reveal that between him and Treasure Chest, Treasure Chest was eliminated with 1345 votes (with Malachite himself having gotten 1156 votes). However, Treasure Chest decides to use the Immunity Token Gamebot Berry dropped during his elimination, and after some debate, Gold Ingot accepts it and has Malachite eliminated instead. Journal then briefly argues with Treasure Chest before Malachite cuts in, stating that he "doesn't want [the two] arguing to be the last thing [he] hear[s]". He then says that "it's been an honor being on [the] team" and that "[he] hopes [the others] can make it far". Right as he reaches the elimination cliff, he tells Journal to "take care of [himself]", shortly before saluting and dropping himself off the cliff.

### Episode 11: Rainy Day

He isn't seen for a while afterwards, but appears in Episode 11 briefly when thunder is heard outside the Dark Pit Of Despair, asking if anyone had heard it.

### Episode 12: Dungeons & Dimwits

In Episode 12, he is teleported with the other Season 2 debuters into the office's garage as Gold Ingot goes over the results of the Season 1 rejoiners.

## Votes

* Picture Perfect: 1,800 votes (644 likes, 1,156 dislikes), eliminated due to Treasure Chest (unfairly) using an Immunity Token.

## Trivia

* It was mentioned in a now deleted DeviantArt post that Malachite actually had a dad, and was involved in a Boot Camp. This makes him one of the few contestants with a canon parental figure, another being Ukulele (mentioned she had a mother in All Fun and Games).
* Malachite is a fan of the military and had attributes of it, while not being apart of one himself.
* He is the only contestant who didn't have safety for the elimination.

### References

* Malachite came from multiple inspirations prior to the creation of his character:
	+ He was mainly based on/inspired by Brick from Total Drama and Whistle from Object Twoniverse, which explained his gimmick of acting similarly to a military cadet.
	+ A TV show, Steven Universe, is the reason behind the design. YellowAngiru picked a malachite gemstone for his appearance due to the inspiration of said show.
