Emerald Balewood

The protagonist of Misery of Magic, Emerald is a red cat with green eyes. For much of the game, he is the sole character, although later on it is possible to gain a second character.

Story
Emerald originated from Earth, from a world known as both "Axheylm" and "Whitegardens", along with his brother Ember. This is a pleasant grassland world, mostly cut off from the rest of the Earth and dominated by cats. Due to a problem on Earth, Whitegardens residents were thrown out of their world and became separated from each other. At some point much later, Emerald fell into despair and woke up in the Domain of Magic, and began searching for Ember who had already been there for quite some time.

In-Game
Emerald uses a Life Force Factor of 6, the highest in the game. Thus, Emerald will always have more HP than another character of the same level.

Permanent Weapons
Emerald begins with only his permanent weapons, and no others. These permanent weapons are:
 * Slash
 * Orb

After Awakening occurs, these weapons are upgraded to the following:
 * Heart Slash
 * Blood Orb

Emerald also has the unique property that his permanent weapons can be overridden by Time Transformations.
