Chocolat

Chocolat Cracks (ショコラ・クラックス, Shokora Kurakkusu) is a mage of the Stone element from Magical Vacation.

Personality
Chocolat is very quiet and keeps to himself. He is very childish, clueless, and likes to chase birds.

Appearance
As all mudmen are, Chocolat's body is earthen and egg-shaped, with two large arms and stumpy legs. His face is comprised of three circular holes, and small plant growths cover his head and shoulders.

Prologue
Chocolat was thought simply to be a large pile of dirt for years. After construction was being done as to insert a road were Chocolat resided, people realized that he was a mudman. He speaks slowly (usually one word per sentence), and loves small animals.

His first appearance in the game is when everyone is boarding the Magic Bus. Chocolat is one of the last to join as Miss Madeleine struggles to push him on. As his classmates ask him questions on the drive to Valencia Beach, Blueberry helps explain his past and how he was enrolled into Will-o'-Wisp by Biscotti.

Light Realm
After the Enigmas warp everyone away to the Light Realm, Chocolat isn't seen again until the party leaves Cold Honey Palace through the back exit. There, he is accompanied by a suspicious dwarf named Quattro Fromaggi, but they're out of sight when the party tries to chase after them.

Since the road to the dwarf village of Ufot is guarded, they take another road that leads them to Riviere de la Roche. They find Cassis by a river and explain what happened, so he sets off to find Chocolat while the party looks for Latte in Ville de Souris.

On his hunt, Cassis eventually finds himself in Ufot Village once the party enters Iko Domnag, only to be caught in a fight and taken to the Dark Realm alongside Candy, Cidre, Cabernet, Olive and Ganache. Chocolat and Sesame have been sent there too.

With the help of Grenadine, Latte is upgraded with a Magic Power Generator. The party uses it to send the Magic Bus back to Will-o'-Wisp, where Balsamico reverse-engineers the school's summoning machine. By doing so, it allows the protagonist, Latte, and a chosen party member to shift into the Dark Realm with Latte. Before they arrive, Ganache and his companions kill an Enigma in Spollacs Swamp. Unsure of what's to come, they leave to find Sesame and Chocolat.

Dark Realm
After Peabee Anjay offers his guidance to the party, they stumble upon Cassis swearing revenge against Quattro Formaggi, who still has Chocolat captive. The dwarf explains that he wants to borrow Chocolat's power, and they flee once again when Cassis' classmates enter the scene. It's revealed that Quattro Formaggi can warp, which Cassis finds odd since dwarves are magicless creatures. This is because an Enigma, Dab Hasnel, is possessing Quattro Formaggi's body and using it as a disguise.

With Cassis on the team, they venture into Masala Chai Village, where an argument breaks out between the party and Cider. The Beauty mage reveals that Ganache, Olive, Candy and Cabernet went south to the Enigma Forest, which implies that Chocolat may be there too.

Before they can go south, the party goes to Ice Island to find a cure for the Ooze Fever. They save Mace inside the island's Gelato Cave, then are encountered by Quattro Formaggi once again; however, he shows up solo. Cassis demands to know Chocolat's whereabouts, but the Enigma possessing Quattro Formaggi exposes its true form. Luckily, Cider shows up in time to attack it and save the party. Dab Hasnel, still disguised, takes his prisoner to yet another place. This time around, they hide in the Dark Realm's eastern areas.

The party continues to venture through the Dark Realm in search of their missing friends, reuniting with Sesame and Miss Madeleine along the way. They eventually make it to the Eastern Forest where Ganache and the remaining students' friendships grow tense, especially the bond between Olive and Candy. Ganache hears Chocolat's cries for help in the distance, so he and Cabernet leave to help their classmate. Candy and Olive try to follow them as well. As for the party, they're rejoiced to see the Magic Bus shift into the Dark Realm, effectively bringing 13 out of 16 students back together.

Meanwhile, Ganache and Cabernet run into a Pyrite from Abos Village, who says that it saw a mudman being taken to Mt Morbier. Ganache wonders why Dab Hasnel would settle in a volcano, and the Pyrite answers by explaining that a mudman's chest cavity holds their jewel "heart". By boiling Chocolat, it would allow the Enigma to take the jewel and absorb its power.

Dab Hasnel drags Chocolat through the fiery cavern and is nearly caught by Miss Madeleine, but not before running in further. The party catches up with their teacher, then watch her use Spacelight twice to kill Quattro Formaggi. Miss Madeleine bids farewell to both spirits and wishes them a happy reincarnation. Once the tension comes to an end, she calmly asks her students to return to the Magic Bus so she can bring everyone back as a group. Unfortunately, it takes a turn for the worst when a Pyrite says that Ganache and Cabernet have entered the Toptoh Mines while trying to find Olive and Candy.

With a new destination in sight, Chocolat permanently joins the party as their elemental of Stone.

Epilogue
"After graduating, Chocolat spent all his time up on a hill near the school, experiencing the chirps of birds among the year-long breeze."
