Joyful Knight Candelilla (喜びの戦騎 キャンデリラ,Yorokobi no Senki Kyanderira) is a former Debo Knight General in the Deboth Army.
She later reformed and became an ally to the Kyoryugers, eventually replacing Torin as the team's mentor, now known as Wise Goddess Candelilla (賢神キャンデリラ,Kenshin Kyanderira).
During the Debo Honenukky incident, she met Nobuharu Udo, Kyoryu Blue, and found a kindred spirit in the pun-spouting Kyoryuger. She said then that she could even come to love him, if they weren't on opposing teams. TV STORY-Brave 11: Utchi! How Cool
In the time following Endolf's "disappearance", she and Aigaron began growing closer, as Aigaron began harboring an affection for her. The Joyful Knight's kindness began rubbing off on Aigaron, and he soon began to regret his old tendencies of killing humans for fun, and the tin man's heart softened. Luckyuro aided Aigaron in numerous attempts to impress Candelilla, but the Sorrowful Knight's affections still went unnoticed, though the effort did not.
Candelilla met the blue Kyoryuger once again when she used Debo Kantokku to steal people's hearts. Posing as a potential wife for Nobuharu (in a meeting unknowingly set up by his sister), with Luckyuro posing as her mother, Candelilla realized that, whether or not she was Deboth, Nobuharu was willing to protect her and stand up for her due to her caring nature, and during this Nobuharu reminded her that she and Luckyuro were created to make people happy, so they could easily learn to live with humans. She aided Nobuharu in defeating her Debo Monster by returning his Gaburivolver to him, though she acted as if it was an accident. After this incident, she was asked by Nobuharu to leave the Deboth Legion. Though she refused, she began to question her standing within the organization. TV STORY-Brave 40: Good and Cool! It's Tough Being an Old Man
Once Luckyuro became relieved of her duties within the Deboth Legion, she ran away, prompting Candelilla to go out searching for her. Since Killbolero had effectively replaced her within the organization, and fearing that she would defect like Torin had done before (while considering how Endolf mentioned that she could be one of the strongest knights yet), Chaos ordered her to be executed. Overhearing this, Aigaron rushed to warn Candelilla and Luckyuro, having already received a tremendous beating from the forces within the Frozen Palace. TV STORY-Brave 45: It Can't Be, Dad! Silver's EndIcerondo rushed to confront them, and revealed that Aigaron had been undead from the moment Chaos revived him, and as the dead cannot fully know love, Aigaron's plight was hopeless. Realizing Aigaron's feelings at last, Candelilla was caught off guard, and was attacked by Icerondo. However, Aigaron took the hit, and was mortally wounded. Ian approached, however, and used Deinosgrander to free the Sorrowful Knight's soul from its metal prison. Aigaron's final act was presenting a severely distraught Candelilla with a pink flower. TV STORY-Brave 46: Great Duel! The Attack of Tears and Love After the Kyoryugers defeated Icerondo, Ian gave Candelilla the flower that Aigaron had dropped in his final moments, and Nobuharu comforted her. Both asked her and Luckyuro to leave the Deboth Legion and live a new life. This time, she agreed, promising to find her place in the world, as Torin had. TV STORY-Brave 47: The Great Counterattack! The Greatest Final Brave
When Torin, Ramirez, and Tessai's raid in Deboth Hell was stopped by Chaos (who had purposefully allowed the new Kyoryu Silver to defeat him to that end), Candelilla and Luckyuro (in possession of a lantern that allowed him to enter Deboth Hell without being dead) come in to assist the Kyoryuger allies, much to Chaos' shock. Candelilla, Torin, Ramirez and Tessai perform their special attacks along side each other and defeat Chaos, sending him hurtling against the pillar that held Deboth Hell together, destroying both him and the pillar in a single strike. The three former rangers express their gratitude to both Candelilla and Luckyuro. Torin also tells them to live a life filled with bravery, before their lifetime reaches its' end.
After the final battle, she cheers up a saddened Nobuharu from the shadows. As both reformed villains try to figure out what should they do now, they notice a lost girl trying to find her mother. Remembering Nobuharu's words, Candelilla decides to use her powers of joy to bring smiles to all humans on Earth. Luckyuro follows suit and both help the lost girl to find her mother.

Later Appearances[]
ToQger vs. Kyoryuger[]
Seeing the 'unlucky' plight of the ToQgers and Kyoryugers during the emergence of Deboth's creator, Creator Devius, Candelilla and Luckyuro go to pray at a shrine for help.

Brave[]
When the Neo Deboth Army emerged in South Korea, Luckyuro and Candelilla aid Torin's spirit in assembling a team of residents to become the Kyoryuger Brave.
100 years after defeating Chozetsushin Deboth, Candelilla has become the mentor to the new team of Kyoryugers known as Wise Goddess Candelilla. She misplaces all the original team's Zyudenchi (except #3) only having the five belonging to the other Kyoryugers (Silver, Cyan, Grey, Violet, and Navy) that she gives to the Future Kyoryugers. Later, Torin communicates with her in spirit to help Candelilla find the other Zyudenchi that are hidden by his team's photo, allowing her to give her team their intended Zyudenchi colors. She also lost her memory (except about the appearance of Nobuharu Udo and the place where Chozetsushin Deboth was born) due to Remorseful Knight Arslevan. She sings the earth melody during the new team's battle so they can reach their full potential. MOVIE STORY-Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Returns: 100 YEARS AFTER
Candelilla appears as both a villain and a Wise God in the mobile game Super Sentai Battle Base.
Personality[]
She is slightly vain and a bit of an airhead, but always keeps an upbeat and happy attitude. Since she is the Joyful Knight, she loves to make people happy, even her fellow Knights. When Endolf was about to crush Dogold's face, she actually showed aggression by holding her weapon to his throat and telling him infighting is a good way to stop smiling too. After seeing Aigaron die, she actually showed sadness. After leaving the Deboth Army, she became dedicated to making people smile by helping them. She is also the only living character that finds Nobuharu's jokes funny.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
Happiness Empowerment: As the Joyful Knight of the Deboth Army, Candelilla can siphon and empower herself with human happiness.
Human Form: Candelilla can assume the human disguise as a young woman. So far, only she, and Luckyuro, displayed this ability, of the Debo Knights.
Melody: Candelilla's singing voice can affect and draw the inner darkness of former Deboth armies like Torin. While the melody has no effect on humans, Torin was shown subjected to this due to his evil self in its dormant state. This eventually changed, followed by her redemption into Wise Goddess where she sings the Earth's melody, which empowered the future generations of Kyoryugers with Brave.
Evil Sense: As the Wise Goddess (2114 only), Candelilla can sense the actions of the Deboth Army via the winds.
Deboth Finish (章デーボスフィニッシュ,Dēbosu Finisshu): The most powerful attack from The Debo Knights where they call out their respecitve emotions and pile their weapons (Candelilla's Kyahahalberd axe, Luckyuro's squeaky mallet, Dogold's Kenka Jōtō sword, and Aigaron's Tohohawk axe) on top of each other, which would then focus their energy and fire a purple energy beam with a combination of their symbols. This finisher was strong enough to knock the Go Busters right out of their Powered Custom forms and de-morph them in one hit.
