//This is part of the Hangover city, Liverpool, uk setting// =The Green Knight - Emerald (Emma) Clayton=

The role of the Green knight stems from when Toxteth was a royal Deer park and the mortals of the hamlet around the pool spent a significant amount of their day foraging in the surrounding woods for fire wood and mushrooms to staves of starvation or hypothermia for a few more days. The knight was charged with making sure the mortals got what they needed without damaging the natural environment.

Sadly for a long time the role of Green knight was held by Jonathan Gall, who was more interested in his personal success than his responsibilities. Eventually his partying caught up with him and he was killed in a duel in 1927. Emma inherited the task in 1953 when the Fisher King finally noticed that Gall had gone and found herself with a monumental in-tray of problems.

Now-a-days Emma spends most of her time liaising with people like the Parks department, the city developers and corporations and the Wolves and River Witches to try and protect the green space in the city. In this she has been remarkably successful, at 135 hectars, the city has the largest area of inner city parks in the uk, and almost double the average green space per person for europe. She has also managed to get a number of areas declared areas of Special scientific interest, there by preserving them for the future.

Her talisman of office is an oak leaf and acorn, which she wears like a broach. It gifts her the insight into what is important to the person she is trying to persuade so she can tailor her approach to that most likely to get them to agree to what she wants - essentially massive bonuses in social conflict.

Emma’s mortal form is a unassuming women with shoulder length brown hair and green eyes. She is around 5’6” and athletically built. Mostly she will be in a smart dark green business suits, or a track suit and trainers. She is a Nixie Changeling, but so far has managed to resist the whole ‘drowning husbands thing’ by not getting involved and only using her glamours and incites powers on official business.
