About Emerald Turtles: Emerald Turtles are a special kind of turtles that belong to the animals born with mana. Which means that they have runes on their shells and can emanate natural mana, especially once adult.

Like normal turtles, emerald turtles live in groups or to be more accurate, in a bale. They lie their eggs on beaches and once out of the eggs, the baby turtles join the sea.

As babies, the shell of emerald turtles is the same for males and females, a dark nacreous green. It's only after each molt that the shell becomes shinier and that the difference can be seen. Male turtles have a shiny emerald green shell while females have a marbled jade green, but both have runes on it, shimmering with mana.

Emerald turtles are also known in Hino, but under the name of jade turtles. They're a bit considered like divine creatures or guardians from the gods back there, since jade is also considered a divine gem. The beliefs in Hino are saying that it brings misfortune when someone hurts a jade turtle.

In fact, emerald turtles or rather their shells are very well searched for their natural mana. Of course, once they molt, it is possible to take the pieces of the molted shells, the mana won't fade from it. But of course, stupid beliefs are strong and many corrupt nobles believe that only a whole shell is worthy, so they chase emerald turtles and kill them to gain the shells. The hunt of emerald turtles is illegal in Clover and no matter how much power a noble has, Damnatio Kira is one of the most radical fighters against the hunt of Emerald Turtles and even of endangered species in general. Damnatio won't be bribed when it's about this topic. Any noble who get captured hunting emerald turtles, can't except any mercy from Damnatio on that matter... the punishments are very big.

The shell of the baby turtles are rather fragile, while the ones of adults are very solid, except when it's time to molt. Also, emerald turtles are glowing in the dark. The shells more of course, the rest of the body is more subtle.

Emerald turtles, unlike normal turtles, are rather fast and can themselves back around once they're one their back. They also have a sense of humor and are known to have a sweet, pearly laugh.

Last but not least, emerald turtles have a very long longevity. The oldest emerald turtle known was over 500 years old at the moment she died.

Appearance:

Shell Color: Dark nacreous green as baby, a shiny emerald green with some runes as an adult.

Eye Color: A very dark green

Skin Color: A brighter shade of emerald green

Height: 5 cm when born, 120 cm as a full grown adult

Personality:

Crush is a very humorous turtle, always in mood for a laugh. He is also very attaching, as he grow to love the Silvas and preferred to stay with them instead of going back to the sea.

Like any emerald turtle, he munches on clothes when he imprints on someone, which he did first with Solid and Rosette, then with the others. He likes being held as a baby, going on people heads for example. Even Nozel let him rest on his head. As for Vanessa, Crush likes being under her witch hat, sometimes he popped out of it with a pearly laugh.

Crush is more easygoing, but he can go feral when he has to defend his family. As an adult, his bites can hurt a lot. He is not often in this mode, only when it's to protect the humans he came to love. In his mind, those are his bale and so, he has to defend them.

He can also be very empathetic and give some kind of comfort when one of his favorite humans are sad.

As an adult turtle, he adores being a ride or even a sled to the next generation of Silvas.

Last but not least, Crush adores being petted.

Background:

Depending on the story I write (or the stories written by @chaptersonetoinfinity), some details about how Crush became the Silva Turtle differ, but the basis remains the same. In most of them, though, it's Solid and Rosette who find Crush first.

Crush was born like his littermate on the beach near Raque. But as he was about to go the sea with the rest of the baby turtles, he found himself catches in a fisher net and part of his shell got broken as he got out after a while. So, Crush remained on the beach while the other babies joined the bale.

Luckily for Crush, Solid and Rosette went on a small vacation on Raque, just the two of them, while they were still engaged (and only slowly starting to fell in love with each other). One day, Solid stumbled on Crush. Seeing that it was a baby emerald turtle with a broken shell, Rosette convinced Solid to bring the little guy too Owen.

Owen was able to repair the hole in the shell, but said that the little guy has to wait for the next molt to get an unbroken one. Meanwhile, Crush grow actually attached to Solid and Rosette, starting to munch on their clothes. Which meant, according to Owen, that he imprinted on them and somehow considered them as his "mama" and "papa".

Which also meant that Solid and Rosette had no other choice than bring this little guy with them back to the Silva Palace. There, after a huge surprise from the rest of the family (and some cursing from Nebra and Zora), all of them started to grow attached to the little guy. Especially Vanessa, who got inspired to make turtlenecks and clothes with turtle patterns for each of them. As for Crush, he ended up imprinting on Nozel, Vanessa, Nebra, Zora, Noelle and Asta as well (even though he bit Asta in the fingers first, because obviously Asta was way too loud).

It was Solid in the end who gave Crush his name, as he stated that he almost crushed himself when found him. But Vanessa interpreted it as having a crush on someone.

Crush was more a new family member than a pet for the Silvas. He was free to go around, got his own water tank with his own room, was free to swim in the palace pool and most importantly, was loved. Which is a lot coming from the Silvas, with their past and the fact that usually, animals didn't like them. But Crush was different, he loved the Silvas immediately (Zora is still shocked by that fact).

Trivia:

Crush was named after the sea turtle in Finding Nemo.

Since emerald turtles have a long lifespan, Crush became some kind of Guardian for house Silva over many years, making turtles the second animal of the house, next to eagles.

When he died at a very old age, he was buried among the Silvas.

Yamis density about Charlottes feelings never stopped making Crush laugh.

Solid won't easily admit it, but he's a real softie for Crush. In a way, like with Rosette, Crush was one of the first creatures to like him immediately... and that meant a lot for him.

Rosette has read a lot about emerald turtles and so, knew how to handle Crush. She even read him stories and he loved that.

Crush is also a shipper. For example, he nudged Asta in Noelles direction once, laughed while observing Zora and Nebra flirting aggressively or closed a door when he saw Nozel and Vanessa kissing.

Nozel grew very attached to Crush that sometimes he took him with him at the Silver Eagles. But no one dared to mock or to say something, as Nozel would glare coldly at anyone mention something.

It also meant a lot for him because Crush is in a way the first creature to love him immediately from the start since his mother died.

Vanessa loves to baby talk Crush, who laughs about it.

She likes doing turtle themed and green clothes because of him.

Nebra came to talk to Crush as she was casually talking to someone else. And since Vanessas turtle inspired clothes, she grew fond of some shades of green.

Zora loves to use Crush to make small pranks. Crush laughs about it.

Noelle finds Crush one of the cutest not annoying things in the world.

Asta might have been bitten when he first met Crush, but he adores the turtle. When Crush grew older, Asta took him to do workout. Crush once slapped his head, because it was getting too much.

Yami calls Crush a jade turtle instead of emerald turtle. A habit from Hino. He also has the supersticion that it brings misfortune to hurt a emerald/jade turtle... and that it would bring him luck in gambles to have Crush with him.

He often tried to bring Crush to his gambles, but the Silvas refused, as well as their partners. Yami gave Vanessa, Zora, Noelle and Asta huge cleaning toilet chores after some refusals.

Crush is one of the very rare ones to actually like Damnatio.

Crush becomes friends with Salamander, so Fuegoleon often comes over so that those two can have a play date in a way.

Of course, you can imagine that Julius adores Crush and emerald turtles in general.
