Aventurine

Aventurine was once a proud soldier serving under Blue Diamond on Homeworld. She took great pride in her role as a guard, dedicated to protecting Chrysocolla. However, when circumstances left them stranded on an abandoned colony, their bond deepened and love blossomed between them. 
==Appearance==
Aventurine has olive skin with mint freckles on her face and arms. She has seafoam eyes and plump lips. Her gemstone is located on her epigastrium. She has thick, tea green-white-colored flowing hair. Physique-wise, she is a normal Quartz Gem soldier with a muscular body.
===Pre-regeneration (debut)===
She wore a sleeveless, fern green turtleneck bodysuit, with a solar plexus cutout and Blue Diamond insignia on the chest. Her bottoms are a darker pine green, with fern green boots with blue toe caps.

==Personality==
Aventurine is a gem characterized by a unique blend of headstrong determination and a constant battle with low self-esteem. As a Quartz soldier hailing from Homeworld, she embodies an unwavering sense of duty and obedience, following orders with precision and skill. Her commitment to fulfilling her role as a soldier is unyielding, driven by a deep-seated desire to prove her worth and validate her existence in the eyes of her superiors.
Despite her outward display of confidence and determination, Aventurine struggles with an underlying sense of inadequacy due to her status on Homeworld. The societal hierarchy and rigid caste system have left her with a lingering belief that her worth is defined solely by her ability to serve and protect. She constantly seeks validation from her superiors, hoping to find recognition and acceptance for her contributions.
Aventurine's headstrong nature is born out of a fierce determination to prove herself, constantly pushing herself to excel and go above and beyond expectations. She sets high standards for herself and strives to exceed them, often placing immense pressure on her own shoulders. This drive for validation fuels her unwavering dedication to her duties, as she believes that through exceptional performance, she can finally find the acknowledgement she yearns for.
==Abilities==
Aventurine possesses standard Gem abilities, bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.
===Skillset===
*Whip Sword Proficiency: With her chain sword, Aventurine can utilize both short and long ranged attacks at various angles and make use of the sword's flexible length to extend the reach of her attack such as turning corners to catch enemies off guards, or even entangle her opponents.
===Unique Abilities===
*Spin Dash: Similar to Jasper and Amethyst, she can rapidly roll in a ball-like shape to attack enemies.
*Overclock: A unique ability, she can temporarily gain a ‘power-boost’, vastly increasing physical strength and coordination, but making her much more vulnerable to poofing. 
==History==
Aventurine, a devoted bodyguard under Blue Diamond, was assigned to protect the skilled Homeworld Cartographer, Chrysocolla. The two reported to their merciless agate commander, Holy Blue. Aventurine's sole purpose was to safeguard Chrysocolla as she tirelessly charted the uninhabited new colony. Everything seemed to be going well for a time, and Aventurine felt fulfilled in her duty. However, on Homeworld, there was no room for error.
One day, Chrysocolla, captivated by the planet's beauty, overlooked an immense cavern, resulting in the unfortunate poofing of some aristocrats. The mistake was met with swift and harsh punishment: Chrysocolla was sentenced to be shattered. Aventurine's heart sank. Her only purpose was to protect Chrysocolla, and she would do so with her life. She refused to let her charge be shattered, so she stood up to Holy Blue.
Both gems were imprisoned on the colony, awaiting Blue Diamond's arrival to carry out their execution. Soon after, their division was summoned to quash the Rebellion forces, leaving the colony, the mission, and Aventurine and Chrysocolla behind.
Years turned into decades, and isolation weighed heavily on Aventurine. The once-vibrant purpose that guided her life began to feel hollow. Homeworld had long forgotten the colony, leaving them trapped in solitude. Aventurine felt useless. She had kept Chrysocolla safe, but for what? To be imprisoned forever? It seemed as though she had failed her only purpose. But as time went on, she found comfort not just in guarding Chrysocolla but in the new friendship they formed. A friendship grew into something deeper.
Eventually, the containment cell deteriorated, granting them their long-awaited freedom. The taste of freedom was strange and disorienting. Without Homeworld's guidance, Aventurine felt lost. Yet, one thing was certain: she didn't want to face the unknown without Chrysocolla. Protecting Chrysocolla had once been her assigned duty, but now it had become something she truly wanted to do, driven by her love for her. Aventurine was determined to face whatever challenges lay ahead, as long as they faced them together.
