The Crystal
The Magic Crystal is an object from Barbie of Swan Lake. It was originally held between the roots of a tree, and whoever pulled it out from the tree was prophesied to be the only one who could save the Enchanted Forest from Rothbart. Odette pulled it out, proving herself the prophesied hero. According to the Book of Forest Lore, the source of its power is true love. When worn, it can project a magical pink barrier to protect its wearer. It can also be used to open the portal to the human world, as well as the lock on the Book of Forest Lore.
History[]
It is a magic pink gem that appeared in a tree many years before Odette's arrival in the Enchanted Forest. According to legends, only the person who is able to free the gem can defeat Rothbart. That person turned out to be Odette, who at first refused the gem because she didn't believe herself the right person for the job and tried to return home. When Rothbart transformed her into a swan before she could leave, the Fairy Queen put the gem in a tiara and gave it to Odette to protect her. The protective magic of the crystal ensured her safety by projecting a barrier to shield her from Rothbart's dark magic.
Later, Odette used the Crystal's barrier to protect Prince Daniel by stepping in front of him when Rothbart attacked him with his dark magic. When Erasmus found the Book of Forest Lore, the Crystal emitted magic that opened the lock on the book. After Erasmus was then kidnapped by Rothbart, who wanted to steal the book off of him, and rescued by Odette and her friends, he told them about Rothbart's plan to deceive Daniel and Odette flew off to warn the prince. She used the Magic Crystal to open the entrance to the Enchanted Forest in order to leave.
The Magic Crystal lost its magical abilities when Daniel declared his love to Odile, thinking she was Odette. It was Rothbart's plan to deprive the gem of its magic because it was the only thing that protected Odette from him. Because of this, it turned gray and dull upon losing its power. Rothbart took out the crystal from Odette's crown and put it on his collar. Its power was eventually restored when Odette and Daniel proved their love for each other was true by trying to protect each other from Rothbart. This final act of true love caused the Crystal's power to consume Rothbart and destroy his dark magic completely, saving the Enchanted Forest.
