Description

Emerald 'Ema' Green daughter of the Green Knight.

Roommate: Not lised
Story: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Side: Rebel
Hears desire: To be a knight of the round table.
Magic touch: Like my brother and father, I cannot be killed in battle. Once when I was twelve, no one in school believed me. So I cut off my own hand and snapped it back on with ease. No one found it amusing.
Oh curses moment: I have a bad habit of fighting too much. I crave a sparing match so much, that when I can't find a partner, I taunt them to get them to fight me. 
Favorite subject: Hero training. I adore the sparring matches. And It's the only time the boys are allowed to fight me and not feel ashamed.
Least favorite: Damsel-in-distressing. Why must I take a class that simply teaches me to sit in a tower? Why not something useful? Like self defense in case a villain breaks into the tower?
BFFA's: My brother, Caedmon Green and Griselda Robber. They are the only ones who never question me, or my adoration of weapons. Especially Griselda.

Anyway, I read the tale of Sir Gawain and the  Green Knight and soon came up this character.
Ema is the younger twin, and due to that, and her being a girl, Ema does not get the legacy of the Green Knight. Growing up, she always knew that, and was fine with it. However, once she reached high school, and everyone demanded her to take side and putting her in classes that did nothing but teach her to sit and look pretty, since that is so often the fate of daughters of princes and lords who do not get a destiny. They just become generic damsels for others stories. So when the whole destiny drama began, Ema chose to rebel, since she wanted to fight and be knight, just like her brother was allowed to do, but not her.
Ema obviously short for Emerald as stated above, which is just a reference to how everything about the Green Knight is, Well, green. 

 And before any of you say that the story is an Arthurian legend, and not a fairytale, Alice in wonderland is a fantasy novel. And Little Bo Peep is a nursery rhyme. Yet they are included in EAH. And the story of Midas is also a Greek myth. And it is often included in much fairytale related stuff. So....I don't wanna hear it.
