Magic Knight Rayearth is a popular Japanese anime and manga series created by Clamp. The story follows three high school girls named Hikaru Shidou, Umi Ryuuzaki, and Fuu Hououji, who are transported to the magical world of Cephiro after being summoned by the Princess Emeraude. In this world, the girls discover that Princess Emeraude is being held captive by the high priest Zagato and must use their newly acquired magical powers to save her and restore peace to Cephiro. They are given magic suits called "Escaflowne" and become known as the "Magic Knights." Emwraude, also known as Emeraude, is the central character of the series. As the Pillar of Cephiro, she is responsible for maintaining balance and harmony in the world.
In Japanese, she was voiced by Megumi Ogata. In English, she was voiced by Wendee Lee in the anime and Rhonda Gibson in the video games.
In the anime it is revealed that she was once a noblewoman of Cephiro, and had later used her power as the Pillar to prevent her younger brother Ferio from being punished for stealing something from her. That devotion does not allow for love, so when Emeraude fell for Zagato, she was caught in a terrible vice, and as a result, Cephiro begins to reflect that strife.
As the Pillar of Cephiro, she is responsible for maintaining balance and harmony in the world. However, she is trapped by Zagato's dark powers and cannot fulfill her duties. The Magic Knights are tasked with rescuing her and bringing her back to her rightful place.
