Coal

Coal, a gem under White Diamond, serves as an assistant to builder gems at construction sites on Homeworld. With a keen eye for detail and a steadfast work ethic, she plays a vital role in facilitating the smooth execution of construction projects. From aiding in material retrieval and transportation to providing illumination in dimly lit areas, Coal actively supports the builders in their tasks.

==Personality==
Coal is a gem characterized by a fiery and unpredictable nature. With a temperament that can swiftly shift from calm to explosive, she embodies a volatile energy that keeps those around her on their toes. Coal's emotions are like a burning flame, intense and ever-changing, making it challenging to predict her reactions or moods.
Her fiery temper is a force to be reckoned with. When provoked or triggered, she can erupt with fierce aggression, unleashing her anger and frustration without restraint. In these moments, Coal's fiery nature consumes her, and she becomes a whirlwind of intense emotions and unpredictable actions.
However, just as quickly as her temper flares, Coal has the capacity to calm down and regain composure. She can display moments of tranquility and stillness, seemingly unaffected by the turmoil that rages within her. These serene intervals can be short-lived, as the smallest spark can reignite her volatile nature, setting off a chain reaction of emotions once again.

==History==
Coal's role is that of a dedicated assistant. Her primary purpose is to support the building process while construction gems are engaged in their work.
Her responsibilities encompass a wide range of duties, including retrieving and transporting materials, navigating construction sites for any dangers, swiftly delivering the necessary resources to builders, all to ensure a seamless workflow. Additionally, she plays a unique role in illuminating dark areas, utilizing her power of luminosity to provide optimal lighting conditions for intricate or low-light construction tasks.
With her keen senses and vigilance, Coal diligently keeps watch for any potential intruders or external threats that could compromise the construction site's security. Her heightened awareness and quick reflexes make her an essential asset in maintaining a safe working environment.
When the Rebellion started and things were thrown into chaos, Coal wanted to be a Gem warrior and fight for Homeworld, but due to her stature and abilities, she was deemed unfit for combat. Instead, she was given the task of retrieving fallen Homeworld Gems by bubbling them and sending them back to various bases set across the Earth.
Coal, after incessant complaining, underwent a test administered by Jasper to evaluate her combat capabilities. The outcome was clear: a devastating defeat that left her consumed by feelings of inferiority. Now, burdened by a disdain for her own self-worth, she harbors a deep-seated belief that success in achieving her goals will perpetually elude her.
==Gemology==
*It takes roughly 1 million years to form coal.
*Coal is an organically derived material. It is formed from the remains of decayed plant material compacted into a solid through millions of years of chemical changes under pressure and heat.
