The JADE EMPEROR
Relation:
Father of the Jadecats/Originator
of the Animal Zodiac
Costume Color:
Green/yellow
Story:
Chinese Folklore speaks heavily of the Jade
Emperor. He may have been based on a real ruler of a Chinese dynasty
or he may simply serve as the archetypal benevolent ruler of ancient
ways. He is credited for many legacies such as the invention of
the Chinese Lunar Calendar and the Great "Mind-Seal" Classic
(a formula for immortality). In the show, he also sired the Jadecats
with the Moon Princess and was subsequently murdered by the insidious
Ratlord. He and the Moon Princess live on as spirit guides to the
Jadecats, occasionally appearing to them when they meditate or in
their dreams.
