Spinel

Spinel is the twenty-eighth playable character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown.
==Character Description==
Spinel is the main antagonist of Steven Universe: The Movie. She was created thousands of years ago to comfort the lonely Pink Diamond. The two would play every day in Pink's Garden until she was finally given her own colony. At this point, Pink outgrew Spinel and abandoned her under the guise of playing a game by having Spinel stand alone for thousands of years; Pink never returned. After discovering this through Steven Universe's message to the universe, she went to Earth with full intent to destroy all organic life forms, as a way of getting revenge. After making amends with Steven and The Crystal Gems, the Diamonds take her back to live with them.
===Role in the Beatdown Lore===
After standing and waiting alone for Pink Diamond for 6,000 years in her garden, Spinel found out (via transmission manipulated by DIO) that Pink abandoned her after she was given her own colony. Following this, the garden was struck by an asteroid which brought it to Earth. Spinel's gem was found by Dan Backslide, and her gem was implanted with a flesh bud; forcing her to join DIO's cause with the promise of friendship. 
In BeatdownBound, when Tord tried to recruit her to help in on a mission, she snapped at him, being convinced that DIO will abandon her just like Pink Diamond. She soon started crying and apologized to Tord for yelling at him, telling him of her backstory. After sympathizing with her, the two became friends and went on a mission together, ending up in a fight with Sixshot. Later on, when playing poker with DIO's other allies, Spinel became angry after losing to Mrs. Mavilda, and tried to get the group to play Uno with her until Daniel D'Arby arrived to play.
Spinel also accompanied Tord, Dan and Psycho Dad on their mission to assassinate D Kess for refusing to join DIO's group, joining Tord in infiltrating Lawlcatraz Prison (since Psycho Dad and Dan were still with the mansion). The duo stop The Sheriff of Nottingham on his stroll through the prison, and he is willing to talk with them after recognizing Tord from his battle with Sixshot and DIO's affiliation with the (now disbanded) Chocolate Cronies. They make a deal with him to allow them to take care of Kess in exchange for the release of a prisoner. After looking at his prison roster, Spinel suggests that they release Roman Torchwick, along with his partner Neopolitan. The duo soon confront Kess's Krew after they escape Frollo's Dungeon, jumping them and locking the door. Spinel sucker punches Kess after he taunts Tord, and the two groups engage in battle. Spinel clashes with Kess, and taunts him on not always being a monster, but is knocked away by he cookin. Spinel then fights Quote- dodging all his attacks until he cookin helps him out and the two overpower Spinel with their meme attacks. Once Kess becomes Kesslossus, Spinel grabs Dan and Psycho Dad from the car to bring them in as backup. Spinel and the rest of DIO's group joined the battle with the Lawlkatraz staff and the remaining members of Kess's Krew, eventually defeating him as a team. After this, Spinel texted The Thwomps using Tord's cell phone, informing them of Kess' defeat and the addition of Torchwick and Neo to DIO's group.
When Tord came back from his fight with The Crystal Gems, an angered Spinel was ready to take revenge on them. When the Gems were out in the forest with the rest of the mansion hunting monsters, Spinel confronted the trio after tossing a boulder at them. When Garnet and Amethyst mentioned not recognizing her, she snaps and brings her rejuvinator out, ready to fight. After keeping the Gems on the ropes, Pearl attempted to stop her by herself- dodging Spinel's fist as it shattered a cliff and buried Amethyst and Garnet. Pearl confronts Spinel, but due to Pink's powers stopping Pearl from speaking directly about what happened to her, Pearl instead tries to talk about the garden. Spinel begins opening up about being abandoned, and Pearl attempts to sympathize with her. However, the flesh bud on Spinel's gem began overtaking her mind and brought her back to her animosity. She punches Pearl and tries to poof her with her rejuvinator, but she is stopped by Ruby Rose, who halts the rejuvinator with Crescent Rose.
== Moveset ==
=== Playstyle ===
Spinel is not the happy-go-lucky gem she was 6000 years ago. She retains her bouncy and quick movements and interactions with others, but her abandonment's made her more aggressive and ruthless. Even being able to match with the Crystal Gems no trouble, Spinel makes up for her small damage output with quick and decently-ranged standards. She loves toying with foes, but she can get knocked around easy by stronger blows. Luckily, her specials help close the gap while hitting an opponent with powerful debuffs to easily incapacitate them.

=== Special moves ===
Attack 	Name 	Description
Standard special	Rejuvenation 	Spinel slashes her trusted scythe, the Rejuvenator. While having the most start-up lag in her kit, hitting a foe with this move rejuvenates them, essentially leaving them back at the start of their journey. While this forces an opponent into an alt change or exclusive alt for this state, they also forget how to do certain things, particularly the neutral, side, and down specials for the next 6 seconds in addition to fighter-specific mechanics (i.e. Matt's vanity, Spamton's Kromer, etc.). It's a massive debuff that can give Spinel the upper hand by taking away pivotal moves. Of course such a move can't be spammed all willy-nilly as the more you rejuvenate a foe, the less time they stay in that state (.4 seconds less per re-rejuvenation). This also doesn't extend the duration, and they're back to normal after a KO. In midair, Spinel does a quick aerial spin with the Rejuvenator that racks up hits, but can't rejuvenate.
Side special 	Spin-Nel 	Spinel emphasizes the "spin" in her name and does a spinning series of punches. It deals rapid damage with the last hit delivering the knockback. You can hold B to charge the spin with Spinel spinning in place and launching forward once B is released, covering more distance and adding more hits. It can also eat away at a shield. Spinel bounces off walls during the spin and can only be stopped by traps or direct attacks. It doesn't go as far in the air nor be charged, but does provide good horizontal coverage.
Up special 	Top Launch 	Spinel turns her legs into a spring and springs herself upwards, hitting anyone in the way. Like her side special, you can charge this for extra coverage. Even without charging, she covers some good height at the cost of going into freefall and being unable to use other moves, so it's best to use this purely for recovery.
Down special 	Poison Horn 	Spinel makes a horn with her hand and blows it, making a drop of her Injector's poison fall from the sky (only onto the stage). The poison kills life around where it lands and acts as a damaging trap that poisons foes for the next 4 seconds. It also applies to assists and summons, damaging them over time. If anyone's directly hit by it during the fall, it poisons the opponent without leaving a puddle. Spinel can only have two puddles, and they last for 5 seconds. She can be hit during the horn blow, but only by hitting or grabbing her before she blows it will the poison not fall.
Final Smash 	Planetary Injection	Spinel jumps up onto her Injector and sounds off a huge horn, cuing the injection. While the Injector itself deals massive damage when it lands, it will begin spewing poison all over the stage and fill the central platforms with large puddles of it. Spinel can hop off the Injector to launch foes into it while being immune to the poison. If the Injector is destroyed, it explodes and spreads a few parting puddles of poison onto the stage. Spinel can deal more damage to the Injector. If it isn't destroyed, it leaves after 10 seconds.
