The Unicorn

Not every guardian is large and fearsome. In The Mystery Love of Dragon, the protector of Princess Natali is a small, gentle creature whose power lies not in strength, but in sight.

Who is the Unicorn?

The Unicorn is a tiny, newborn-looking foal, no bigger than a lamb — small enough that the forest ferns brush against its belly. It has fluffy white fur, a short mane and a little horn that is only just beginning to grow, glowing with a soft blue light. It looks fragile and sweet, the kind of creature you might mistake for a dream if you glimpsed it among the leaves.

A gift from a godmother

The Unicorn was a gift to Natali from her godmother, Allaryx — the keeper of the dragon palace, although Natali has no idea her godmother lives there. That makes the little creature a quiet link between the human kingdom and the world of dragons, a thread that ties Natali to people and places she does not yet know.

What it can do

The Unicorn is Natali's guardian, and its gift is a rare one: it sees magic and dispels poison. In a story where danger can hide inside the most innocent things, that is a precious ability. Where others see only a pretty gift or a friendly smile, the Unicorn can see what is really there.

A glow among the roses

The Unicorn has not yet been shown on screen, but attentive viewers may have spotted a hint. At the very end of Part 2: The Poisoned Roses, as Natali breathes in the scent of the white roses that Christabel gave her, a small, soft pale-blue glow flickers deep among the rose bushes behind her — as if someone or something is watching over her. The series has not explained the light yet. Is it the Unicorn?

Coming in the series

As Christabel's envy grows and a royal debt draws Natali towards the dragon she fears, the princess will need every friend she has. The Unicorn's role in the story is only beginning, and the coming parts will show how this tiny guardian protects the princess it was given to.
