Did you notice that Ezran has a unicorn patch? What do you think?
I didn’t, but now that you mention it…

That’s interesting! Perhaps it’s meant to symbolize his naivety, and general, childish attitude i suppose, with lack of a better word—what with children often believing in unicorns, a false hope irl. His full hope and faith in Zubeia and the ability to heal old wounds when everyone else is skeptical. His empathetic & forgiving & giving nature.
Unicorns also symbolize purity, and gentle, kind animals, which ezran both is and sees other creatures as often—or at least at first. ie, him saying he learned he can’t trust racoons., and well… the antagonists.
Additionally, unicorns are star arcanum creatures and we’re supposed to see/get a lot more information on the stars next season. Maybe Callum will bring another unicorn trinket back from the starscraper as a gift to ezran lol (such an absurdly normal, beautifully mundane thing to do amongst what terrible events i fear may occur next season, let us have this <3)
We also know leola had a last wish as a startouch elf child, and leola was a unicorn, and that unicorn horns grant wishes. again, symbolism of hope, purity and childishness, all that Ezran represents. And Ezran is a child with great wishes too…hopefully that doesn’t foreshadow anything too terrible.

It’s interesting because unicorns were also the ones to gift primal magic to humanity, they took pity on humanity and believed in it whilst startouch elves/other elves did not. It reminds me of how Callum’s the first human mage in centuries. They (Callum, and the unicorn pin, and Ezran by proxy) both represent the hope of how humanity can thrive without needing dark magic.
In many ways, Ezran is like a unicorn. and i would love to see him get to meet one <3
oh also…. Claudia capturing/dehorning a unicorn, and…

“Tell me everything you know, little king, or i’ll squeeze it out of you” with Ezran :)
