Princess Emily has always loved a good prank, but when one of her subjects is seriously hurt everyone suspects her. Although she had nothing to do with it, Emily has lost the trust of her people and must find a way to earn it back before they dethrone her as their princess.

Main Characters
Emily: The Emerald Princess and ruler of the Greenwood. Believing that they find them just as funny as she does, Emily often plays pranks on people, even her own sister.

Determined to set things right and prove that she never meant anyone harm, she does her best to find out who really is behind the trap.

Arden: Emily's royal advisor and best friend.

She does what she can to help Princess Emily clear her name and regain the trust of her people.

Staghorn: The Emerald Palace gardener, formerly of the Jewel Palace. The victim of many of Emily's tricks, Staghorn finally has enough when one prank goes too far and nearly breaks his ankle. He feels so betrayed and humiliated, he thinks that Emily should no longer rule the Greenwood if she's going to harm her own people through practical jokes.

Fluke: A fisherman, resident of the Greenwood, and one of Staghorn's closest friends. When he hears that Staghorn has been hurt, he rushes to Nana Woodbine's cottage to be by his side. Outraged that Staghorn's injury appears to have been caused by another of Princess Emily's tricks, he resolves to inform King Regal of his daughter's dangerous behavior.
