Big Red Jasper

Big Red is an unnaturally massive Jasper, more than twice the size of the average Jasper. She is one of three Jasper soldiers, the group unique in their third member, who is her.
== Appearance ==
Big Red Jasper is near twice the size of an average Jasper, with a slightly compressed stature muscle-wise. She's fourteen feet tall. Her skin is dark brick red with dark merlot red stripes on her arms, and one large stripe diagonally across her face connected to two thinner ones. She has well-defined lips, thin eyes with bright red irises, feathery eyebrows, and a slightly upturned round nose. She has long, straight, vibrant chilli-red bangless hair that reaches down to the ground and has two strands that frame her face. She has a polygonal, sharp, canteloupe yellow flower-like object affixed to her hair on the left side of her head. It has nine 'petals'. Her outfit has a light royal orange collar that attaches to two triangles that flank the top two sides of a large yellow diamond on her chest, reaching to the bottom of her chest. Her top itself is salamander orange. The bottom half, unlike most uniforms, seems to only reach to Capri-length, and are a dull ochre orange. She also has a pair of honey orange boots that reach just up past her ankles.
== Personality ==
Big Red doesn't generally get riled up and keeps to herself. She is reserved and submissive, holding heavy emphasis on following rules and social expectations, having a high value on ranks and hierarchy out of habit. Despite looking forward to the changes and freedoms the reform is bringing, she's not quite prepared to adapt to the changes and is still rather stuck in her ways. She is mild-mannered and respectful and gets incredibly upset about losing her temper. When she does lose her temper, she tends to display silent fury, unlike her teammates, who provide more vocal expression of their own, and she can become ruthless without something to stop her or calm her down. She finds bickering a bit irritating and becomes stressed when things begin to evade mental processability due to high chaos levels. When things, especially arguments, stop making sense, it is generally then that Big Red is most stressed. She is also very apologetic and likely to take the blame for some things she is not actually at fault for. However, despite this, she is not naïve, nor is she necessarily a pushover. She's simply passive and prefers to avoid stress and social conflict. She both tries to isolate herself from her group, yet cannot accept being totally alone, and so often reaches a stalemate with stress and trying to find a calm state of being. Because she's a little isolated and spends more of her time thinking than talking, she can be seen as more logical or reasonable than her teammates.
== History ==
Big Red was created a long while ago, and despite being defective, her size was seen as a sort of bonus or advantage, so she was surprisingly not ostracised or seen as lesser over it. She joined a tightly knit group of Quartz soldiers and guards and other gems who were close friends. She was accepted into the group, and although they were assigned in different places, and some had even chosen to defect to the Crystal Gems' side, they still kept in close touch, until the group dissonated due to the odd behaviour of one groupmate following the disappearance of another after the Diamonds' Corruption attack on Earth. After the essential dissolution of the group, Big Red remained grouped with the other Red Jaspers, continuing to carry out tasks for Homeworld and to serve Yellow Diamond. She had never become particularly close to the non-Red-Jaspers in the group so she was fine to stay with them, and was more accustomed to the old system than the new one.
== Abilities ==
Big Red possesses all the abilities of an average gem, plus:
* Metal Petals: Big Red possesses the ability to manipulate the metallic petals of the polygonal flower she has on her hair. It's not clear if this is ferrokinesis, magnetokinesis, or something entirely different, and she can only use it for her petals so far. With guidance, this power might be understood better.
* Size: While technically not an ability, she is ridiculously big, even for a Jasper.
=== Fusions ===
* When fused with Scarlet Jasper, they make another, very large Jasper.
* When fused with Mahogany Jasper, they make another, very large Jasper.
* When fused with Mahogany Jasper and Scarlet Jasper, they make the hugest Jasper you've ever seen!
=== Skillset ===
* Size: Being twice the size of her fellow Jaspers puts Big Red at quite the advantage.
* Battle Prowess: Big Red is a Jasper built for combat, and thus, she's had training and experience in fighting.
* Sasumata Proficiency: Although technically these weapons were not used often as a weapon for legitimate battle, Big Red is aware of the best methods to use it as one.
== Relationships ==
=== Mahogany Jasper ===
Big Red is often slightly exasperated and exhausted by Mahogany's temper and refusal to calm down. Irregardless, she cares about and enjoys the presence of Mahogany, and is supportive of her, and tries to calm her down when she can.
=== Scarlet Jasper ===
Scarlet is calmer than Mahogany, so she and Big Red can have something more closely resembling a reasonable conversation. They have gotten philosophical from time to time, and tend to enjoy having calmer conversations as well as friendly banter. Scarlet has saved Big Red a few times.

== Trivia ==
* Big Red is based on one of three red jasper gemstones that her creator owns in real life.
** The funny part is that there are actually two particularly large jasper stones, and one smaller one.
* Red Jasper is connected with the Root Chakra at the base of the spine and the legs.
* Big Red, Mahogany and Scarlet Jasper's weapons are all in the same grouping of weapon, known as the torimono sandōgu or the 'three tools/implements of arresting' used in Feudal Japan by samurai police forces. They were most prominently seen in the Edo period and were used to arrest or detain suspected criminals without injury. 
** Big Red's, the sasumata (刺股), translates to spear-fork. It is not meant to injure an opponent, but rather to catch and immobiliser them between its prongs.
