Cat's-Eye Chrysoberyl

Cat's-Eye Chrysoberyl (Facet-2M3O Cabochon-8XF) is a chatoyant Chrysoberyl who aligns herself with the Crystal Gems.
== Appearance ==
Cat's-Eye has a short and bulky stature. Rather than proper feet, her legs seem to end in paws. She has two almond-shaped, chatoyant eyes, one of which is almost always covered by her bangs along with her gem, which is located above where the bridge of her nose would be, between her eyes. Her eyes are similar in appearance to her gem, with a cat-slit separating two different colours. On her eyes, these colours are milky gold on the left, and honey gold on the right. She has an arched mouth, plump lips and sharp teeth. The corners of her mouth are defined. Her hair is a light ginger colour, parted at the left with bangs on the right side that swoop down and curl inwards, covering her gem and right eye, one part of it only reaching down past her mouth and onto her lips, and the further right bit reaching almost to her chin. Her hair curls outward on the sides of her head, curling into small hair spikes and puffing out slightly at the top of her head. Around her neck, her hair wraps around like a scarf, then drapes down over her shoulders and chest, with a split down the front middle, giving the illusion of being a shawl. Her bangs are darker on the underside than the outside, unlike most of the rest of her hair. Her skin has a chocolate brown base, with paler sandy-tan spots, notably on the right side of her face, on spots of her right arm, a large diagonal streak on her left leg from thigh to knee, a spot on the front of her right thigh, and a spot on her right knee. She appears to wear a two-tone leotard in which the top half is an aubergine colour, and the bottom half is burgundy. She also wears asymmetrical aubergine socks, the left one being knee-high and the right one being thigh-high. Both socks have two burgundy patches on the heels. The right sock has a sun-shaped icon on the knee, with the centre- a circle- and the north and south points of it cut out, while the other six points are part of the sock, and coloured yellow. Four of the points in the 'intermediate directions' are shorter than the 'east' and 'west' points. This is supposedly her star indicating affiliation with the Crystal Gems. Uniquely, floating slightly above her head, little yellow spheres and shapes resembling cat's ears are attached to her head, with a bit of space between her head and the components, and between the components themselves, and with a similar arrangement, another yellow orb and a cat-tail shape are located at the base of her lower back as if sprouting from the coccyx area, where a tail would be if humans had them.
== Personality ==
Cat's-Eye is, fundamentally, and wholly anxious. The fact that they gave her hyper-audition makes it worse because she constantly hears potential threats and what other people are saying. You fixed her, Homeworld? You screwed up a perfectly good Cat’s-Eye, is what you did! Look at her, she’s got anxiety! She’s shy, and a bit cynical, and while she tends to be blunt, she’s usually trying to be humorous too. She’s asocial and nervous around strangers and considers everything unfamiliar strangers. Even things that aren't sentient. She’s the kind of person to drag her feet and hide her face constantly. Whenever she entres somewhere new, she always immediately seeks out the best hiding spots. Ironically, she is shown to have little regard to self-preservation, suggesting ideas that come to mind regardless of how poorly they would undoubtedly end. She gets excited around people she’s familiar with and has separation anxiety when not around anyone she knows. But she’s also curious to a fault, often risking inactive hazard to get more information. She is very attentive and perceptive otherwise. She's good at hiding. She enjoys napping and is, oddly, what one could call a claustrophile. Her favourite hiding spots tend to be tight spaces. if she had her own room, she'd be absolutely thrilled to have a room that can barely be stood in. Just a tiny room with pillows and a small entrance. It's likely she'd enjoy this because it makes it highly unlikely for a predator to be able to find or fit into her hiding place.
== History ==
She was created as a common soldier, but, was made poorly, and is fairly defective as a result. Short, hard of hearing and inarticulate, speaking with a lisp. To attempt to remedy these malformations, she was equipped with auditory enhancement devices (her 'ears'), and a ‘tail’ that can do multiple minor things but is mostly used as a shield. They couldn’t do anything about her lisp, though. She was originally best friends with another chatoyant gem. She defected from Homeworld with that chatoyant gem and Rhodochrosite in the Gem War, joining the Crystal Gems. During the war, the other chatoyant gem was caught and trapped- like Lapis- but in a pillow, like Desert Glass. Cat’s-Eye followed along clandestinely when Rhodochrosite was captured. On the way, she found and took the pillow that held her fellow chatoyant gem with her, helped stabilise Rhodochrosite, and then they stowed away on a ship to try to escape Homeworld again. While they were trying to escape, they ran into Lazurite and eventually joined the crew. She is the most aware of Rhodochrosite in general, having been around her for a long time. 
== Abilities ==
Cat's-Eye Chrysoberyl possesses many of the usual abilities of a gem, including shapeshifting, summoning a weapon, fusion, regeneration, bubbling and enhanced durability and strength. Along with this, she also has some unique abilities.
* Night Vision: Cat's-Eye has the ability to see in low-light conditions. The same biology that allows this also causes her eyes to reflect light when in the dark, making them appear to glow or shine.
* Technological Improvement Movement: Cat's-Eye has been equipped with permanent technological attachments that move as if part of her actual biology and give her a couple of extra abilities.
** Hyperaudition: Cat's-Eye has severely enhanced hearing ability, beyond the abilities of normal gems.
** Sound Localisation: As an extension of her hyperaudition, Cat's-Eye has the ability to distinguish distance and direction of sounds she hears, and therefore distinguish the locations of the sounds.
* Cat Righting Reflex: Cat's-Eye possesses the innate ability to orient herself as she falls in order to land on her feet.
* Burrowing: Cat's-Eye also has a unique ability to dig unlike most others and other creatures, able to penetrate and move through the ground or through sand as if swimming underwater, in such a manner that the ground she goes through appears nearly undisturbed (as long as she's not occupying a spot that would cause disturbance by occupation.) 
* Cat Claw Proficiency: Cat's-Eye is proficient in the use of her weapon, cat-claws.
* Jumping Ability: Cat's-Eye can jump about seven times her own height vertically into the air, which would be about thirty-four feet and five inches (or a thousand forty-nine and two-hundredths centimetres) straight into the air. 
=== Fusions ===
* When fused with Bumblebee Jasper, they form Tiger's Eye Matrix.
* When fused with Chocolate Tahitian Pearl, they form Axinite.
* When fused with Lazurite, they form Gold-Blue Pietersite.
* When fused with Lepidolite, they form Red-Golden Cat's-Eye Rutile.
* When fused with Leuco Sapphire, they form Star Rhodolite.
* When fused with Rhodochrosite, they form Chicken's Blood Stone.
=== Skillset ===
* Stealth: Cat's-Eye has an exceptional skill for stealth and sneaking, able to manoeuvre with rather efficient speed in unusual routes or paths.
* Accessibility: Cat's-Eye has the ability to fit through spaces without shapeshifting if her head fits through. This, along with her short size, allows her to access areas other gems cannot without shapeshifting.
* Battle Ability: As she was created for battle, she is good at it.
* Staff Proficiency: Although her summoned weapons are cat-claws, she's also proficient in using staffs in a variety of ways.
== Relationships ==
=== Bumblebee Jasper ===
Cat’s-Eye appreciates Bumblebee as a fellow defective gem, and they will from time to time just spend time as a duo and just talk about how terrible they feel about themselves. Bumblebee is rather defensive of Cat’s-Eye. Cat's-Eye is defensive of Bumblebee.
=== Chocolate Tahitian Pearl ===
Although they do not interact much, Cat’s-Eye has notably shown mild exasperation towards Tahi, however, it’s generally based on feelings of being outclassed, being underintelligent, or just exasperation towards Tahi’s flirty nature, possibly from embarrassment.
=== Lazurite ===
Their relationship is rather neutral, not interacting too much, but Cat's-Eye notably feels safe around Lazurite and looks to them for protection and support when her primary choice isn't an option. They both respect each other, and Lazurite tries to support Cat's-Eye when it comes to socialisation. Cat's-Eye generally refers to Lazurite as simply "Cap", "Cap'n", or "Captain".
=== Lepidolite ===
Cat’s-Eye and Lepidolite don’t generally get along, as Lepidolite struggles to actually calm down and listen to Cat’s-Eye, and her voice tends to be loud, hurting Cat’s-Eye’s sensitive hearing. But at times, they can get along, and bond over how ridiculous the others can be. 
=== Leuco Sapphire ===
Generally, unbeknownst to the others, Leuco and Cat's-Eye get along exceedingly well, Leuco's calm and gentle nature serving as a point of solace for Cat's-Eye. Even though they spend minimal time together, Cat's-Eye will often go to Leuco for guidance or for a calm environment. Together, they can be ultimately cynical, or they can balance each other out. Their personalities mesh well, even though Cat's-Eye can be more pessimistic than Leuco is comfortable with. When she spends time with Leuco, Cat's-Eye has the tendency to end up looking on the brighter side of things. 
=== Rhodochrosite ===
==== Alpha ====
Rhodochrosite and Cat’s-Eye are very close, having joined the rebellion together, becoming good friends, and Cat’s-Eye managing to save Rhodochrosite from Homeworld. Their relationship has only slightly changed since the fragmentation, and Cat’s-Eye highly relies on Rhodochrosite for protection and emotional support. Cat’s-Eye, when feeling threatened, may hide behind Rhodochrosite’s legs, like a child behind their mother’s legs. Cat’s-Eye is at her loudest around Rhodochrosite, and tends to be more outgoing when it‘s just the two of them. She’s shown to constantly worry about Rhodochrosite if she gets dissipated, and complains that ‘she always takes too long to come back’. They know each other better than anyone else in the crew knows them.
==== Omega ====
Although she nearly despises the other personality Rhodochrosite has, especially as a result of torment and criticism Omega gives her over her defects, Cat’s-Eye could be scared or persuaded into assisting Omega with her goals and schemes. She doesn’t like her, but she is still Rhodochrosite.
=== Seraphinite ===
Cat’s-Eye honestly finds Seraphinite quite amusing, and is often entertained by her antics. As long as she’s not feeling overwhelmed by direct interaction with Seraphinite, she enjoys her presence.
==== Dottie ====
Despite caring about Dottie and showing concern when something happens to her, she also directly states that Dottie’s screeching and pitch hurt her ears and that she is very sensitive.
==== Elle ====
Cat’s-Eye can appreciate Emerald’s laid back nature. She’s still intimidated, though.
==== Moss Agate ====
Cat’s-Eye states that she finds Moss Agate absolutely terrifying. She acknowledges that Moss Agate is very sweet, but fears her nonetheless.
=== The Crystal Gems ===
Being as she is a Crystal Gem, she has a positive relationship with them.

== Trivia ==
* Cat's-Eyes anxious and nervous nature is based on cheetahs in captivity being too anxious and shy to interact with other cheetahs.
* The placement of Cat's-Eye's gemstone is meant to resemble the third eye.
** Conversely, the placement also indicates a tendency to rely on instinct and being skittish.
* Apparently, when the question arises if Cat's-Eye eats, the response is "Eh, she'll eat bugs, probably.".
* Her multicoloured skin is meant to resemble:
** Her Gem, which features similar colours to both her skin tones.
** A calico cat, that has patches of colour aside from its base colour.
* She is, apparently, fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
** But generally, this refers to the American dialects of both languages.
