Cinnabar

Cinnabar, also known as Cinna and Shinsa, is one of the main characters from the Land of the Lustrous series.
== Charactah Account ==
Cinnabar is the only Gem who goes on night patrol. Due to their body producing a poison (Mercury) which is harmful to Gems and living things, they are isolated and ashamed of themselves. They hate fighting and hate to be seen.
According to Rutile, Cinnabar has an extraordinary amount of talent and combat ability, but is too much to handle due to their uncontrollable poison that ruins everything it touches. Cinnabar's silver poison gathers faint light at night, which keeps them awake and aware while night patrolling. According to Kongo-sensei, the night patrol is something Cinnabar came up with by themselves.
Cinnabar used to spend their time during the day in Hollow Cape waiting for the Lunarians to take them since they thought they may at least be of use to them. They are knowledgeable about things other Gems don't know and was recommended by the Gems for Phosphophyllite's work on the encyclopedia.

== Trivia ==
* Cinnabar in Japanese originally written as 'shinsha' in kanji (roughly means "dragon sand"), but in the series written as Shinsha in katakana.
* Kongou-sensei and Cinnabar/Shinsa are the only Gems who use Japanese names instead of English in the original Japanese version.
* Cinnabar's poison doesn't have a name, only called "poison" or "venom", but it is most likely mercury.
* CInnabar's hair is red, but it is more purplish in the animation PV.
* Despite the rest of the Gems getting a necklace in the collaboration with TASAKI, Cinnabar did not. This is due to the fact that Cinnabar in real life is toxic.
* Cinnabar is the first character to appear and speak in the anime adaptation.
* Unlike in the manga where it was the Amethyst Twins, Cinnabar is the one to save Phos from the lunarians the second time.
* Cinnabar seem to not care about getting shattered, as they are okay with possibly being shattered beyond repair in Chapter Two.
