Kyanite (nicknamed Kyara) is a high-ranking Homeworld Gem who serves under Blue Diamond.
== Appearance ==
Kyara stands at 5'10 with a relatively thin build. She possesses a royal blue complexion, thin lips, a small, curved nose, and midnight blue eyes. She sports a dark blue messy bun decorated with the shattered remains of pearls she owned before. Her gemstone is located on the center of her back.
Her outfit consists of a midnight blue ball gown that obscures the lower half of her body. The chest features the Blue Diamond insignia, while the lower half is decorated with various different gemstone shards. Additionally, she wears a pair of dark blue cocktail gloves, a large, dark blue necklace, and dark blue knee high boots hidden away by her gown. 
== Personality ==
Kyara is an arrogant, condescending, snarky, Gem who doesn't care for anyone who ranks below her in Homeworlds hierarchy. She is a complete and total perfectionist who strives to complete everything she is tasked with quickly and proficiently. Her main goal is to create a reputation for herself, and make her mark on Homeworld known to all. 
== History ==
Kyara was created in one of Homeworld's many exclusive kindergartens around ten thousand years ago. She - like other Kyanites - was created with the intention of being a scout; specifically a Gem who tracks down certain rogue or defective Gems and returns them to Homeworld. To the delight of her superiors, Kyara was created almost perfectly - She came out of the ground knowing everything she needed to, and began working almost immediately. Upon creation, she was placed under Blue Diamond's court of Gems, where she has remained ever since.

Gemstone Information
* Kyanite is a gemstone quality aluminum silicate sometimes referred to as disthene, rhaeticite or cyanite. Its name is derived from the Greek word 'kuanos' or 'kyanos', which means 'deep blue', alluding to its typical blue color.
** Kyanite is a member of the aluminosilicate series and exhibits a distinctive property known as anisotropism. Kyanite can be very easily identified by its dual hardness. Many materials exhibit variable hardness on different crystal faces, but kyanite's variable hardness can be seen in the very same crystal. When kyanite is cut parallel to its long axis, its hardness can range from 4 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale, but when cut perpendicularly, its hardness can range from 6 to 7.
** With kyanite, color is typically not consistent throughout. In fact, most stones exhibit areas of light to dark color zones, along with white streaks or blotches. Kyanite is a polymorph of both andalusite and sillimanite. Polymorph gemstones share similar chemical compositions, but they exhibit different crystal structures. Kyanite forms as triclinic crystals, while andalusite and sillimanite are both orthorhombic.
* Kyanite most often occurs in various shades of blue. It is less commonly colorless, white, gray, green, yellow or orange. The colorless form is the rarest, though not the most valuable form of kyanite. The most desirable color is sapphire-like blue.
** Color is often inconsistent and unevenly distributed. Color zoning is common with most stones, which means that they exhibit multiple shades of blue in a single specimen. Streaks and blotches are common and typically white, but streaks may also form in other colors.
** Orange kyanite was recently discovered in Tanzania. Large teal crystals have also recently been found in Kenya's Umba Valley. Nepal is now widely regarded as one of the finest kyanite sources. Nepalese kyanite is said to rival the blue color of fine Ceylon and Madagascar sapphire.
* Kyanite is a polymorph of andalusite and sillimanite. All three are aluminum silicates, but kyanite forms as triclinic crystals, while andalusite and sillimanite are both orthorhombic. The different crystal structures are owed to geological conditions during formation. Kyanite forms at a lower temperature and in a higher pressure environment; andalusite forms at a lower temperature and lower pressure conditions. Sillimanite forms at a higher temperature and in higher pressure conditions.
** Kyanite is often confused with blue sapphire and topaz. In addition to sapphire (corundum), andalusite and sillimanite, kyanite also forms in close association with talc, hornblende, quartz, almandine and albite.
* Kyanite is believed to aid with self-expression and communication. It is also thought to strengthen supernatural abilities. In addition, kyanite is thought to be able to open the body's center for communication.
** Kyanite is not an official birthstone, nor is it associated with any zodiacal signs.
