Movie
Description
Rald is a male giant panda with distinctive black-and-white fur and teal or light teal green eyes crafted from emeralds. He consistently wears a dark pink waistcoat, a pink-and-yellow striped hat, and a white pearl necklace featuring a tear-shaped emerald pendant. His name originates from "emerald," reflecting his gemstone association and alignment as a May birthstone.
Introduced as a Jewelpet embodying "Happiness and Harmony," Rald's magic specializes in strengthening relationships, promoting peace, healing minds and bodies, and fostering new beginnings. He communicates shyly, frequently ending phrases with "laludo," and exhibits a calm, sensitive, yet deeply friendly demeanor. His abilities include musical proficiency, enabling him to play any instrument.
In *Jewelpet* (2009), Rald arrives in the human world following Diana's corruption of Rinko’s parents. He restores their love and partners with them, cementing his role as a harmonizing force. *Jewelpet Twinkle☆* depicts him seeking a human partner for magic studies. Akari temporarily hides him, though his presence complicates her school festival preparations.
*Jewelpet Sunshine* reimagines Rald as a Plum Class student at Sunshine Academy. Teacher Iruka initially misjudges him as a delinquent due to an intimidating reputation stemming from classmates' obsession with his irresistibly soft fur. Despite his popularity, he remains isolated at the back of the classroom. An episode highlights his companionship with a weasel, Itachiyama, that hibernates in his fur. From *Sunshine* onward, Rald became the franchise's largest character.
*Jewelpet Kira☆Deco!* portrays Rald living alone in Jewel Town’s outskirts. He communicates minimally, primarily using "Mofu," and grows behemoth-sized when lonely, nearly attacking the KiraDeco 5. He temporarily becomes Luna’s adoptive father in Episode 28, showcasing a protective side. *Jewelpet Happiness* shifts his role to a circus performer in Episode 32. He forms a "Magic Gem" bond with Apel Yamada and reveals an expanded vocabulary beyond "Mofu," confirming his capacity for normal speech.
*Jewelpet Magical Change* recontextualizes Rald’s existence, revealing him as Airi Kirara and Sakutarō Kirara’s father disguised in a panda costume. *Jewelpet Attack Travel!* includes Rald among the Jewelpets on a school trip to China’s Sichuan Province.
Across media, Rald’s design evolved significantly after early series, where he was initially average-sized. His powers are variably described as emphasizing love, health, or emotional healing depending on the season, though his core association with harmony remains consistent.
