Gemma Firesplash

**Gemma Firesplash** (Japanese: **赤星青星宝石** *Akahoshi-Aohoshi Hoseki*) is one of the main characters of the *Rosie Magica* arc. She is a shy, somewhat anxious girl from Wisteria, Potpourri Island, Kanto who is the daughter of Christine Starruby and Jeremy Starsapphire.

## Bio

### Appearance

Gemma has half blue, half red hair reaching her chest and is usually worn in a ponytail, and it becomes sparkly and slightly longer after she gains Stage 3, though it does not gain a fade. She also has orange eyes. Her Harmony Mark (which changes to WIP after gaining stage 3) is a pink heart with a smaller blue heart, a smaller red heart, and red and blue gems. She has the Starsapphire birthmark on one shoulder and the Starruby birthmark on the other. As a civilian...

* In *Rosie Magica*, her outfit consists of a bright blue t-shirt under red overalls, and green sandals.
* In the series finale, she is seen wearing (WIP).

In her magical girl form, her hair becomes purple and is worn in looped pigtails while her eyes turn yellow. She wears a long, light green almost ankle-length open-fronted dress with spring green on the side and red and blue polka dots on the edge. In the middle is white, laced up almost corset-like fabric with red and blue trim below it. Her sleeves have red cuffs, and under her overskirt is a pale yellow and pale purple ruffled skirt, combined with pastel green tights and purple double-strapped heels. On her arms are spring green armwarmers with white fluff and her necklie is rhombus-shaped. On her head is a green tiara with a red and blue gem. She has white angel wings on her back and her Harmony Gem (shaped like a bow) is on her left sleeve while her Elemaximum Gauge is on the bottom of her dress. Her terminal/phone is in a carrying case on her waist.

After she gets Stage 3, her outfit changes. The polka dots on her dress change to star shapes while she keeps her tights but her purple heels are replaced with a pair of dark purple platform boots combined with puffy pale purple legwarmers that have red and blue bows (the combination resembling the boots and legwarmers in *Futari wa Pretty Cure* and its sequel *Max Heart*). Her whole dress becomes a pastel shade of green (with the inner skirt layers becoming brighter yellow and purple) and her miniature corset disappears, being replaced with a half red and half blue waistband that has an emerald green butterfly on the back of her waist, and she has earrings shaped like emeralds.

### Personality

Gemma is a fairly shy and timid girl who gets anxious very easily and is easily scared. She is often naiive and isn't very good at interacting with others at first, but she cares about her friends a lot (especially Melody) and is very helpful helping those she is close to, and rarely shows any anger or hostility towards anycreature. She soon learns to interact with others better despite still having a lot to learn about friendship. Sometimes, however, she can get frustrated, such as the fact she still has very limited magic untransformed compared to her friends despite her high aptitude, or when she desperately tries to transform to purify Chaospale but fails repeatedly.

Very rarely, she *can* get very furious, as shown when she tells Chaospale that she refuses to accept her as her best friend if she gives in to Chaos, saying that she is not Melody as Melody is strong enough to not give in to despair.

### Relationships

* **Melody Harmadale**: Her best friend and "heterosexual life-partner" who helps her be more confident in herself. When Melody witches out into Chaospale in the MAeH equivalent of "Melody the Corrupted Witch," Gemma *begs* Rosie (who is half Miko) while crying hysterically to ask the Light of Hope to let her transform, and it grants Rosie's request. In said chapter, however, she also tells Chaospale that she refuses to accept her as her best friend and says she is not Melody if she gives in to Chaos since Melody is strong enough to not give in to her despair.

### Etymology

* Her Japanese name, **Hoseki**, means "jewel," while she has the surnames of both her parents in the Japanese version.

## Magical Abilities

She normally does not transform unless necessary, However, as a magical girl, Gemma posesses enhanced physical abilities sudh as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

Gemma mainly posesses the power to manipulate fire, water, and plants. (WIP) She is considered very powerful *despite* being a Messiah and has very high aptitude. She does, however, still have limited magical ability in civilian form. Ironically, while her magic aura is emerald green in color, her soul is instead shown to be "topaz yellow."

## Dream Pixies

* **Coldbrew** - A kangaroo-like Dream Pixie who is colored green. He is Gemma's first Dream Pixie.

## Pokémon

* Bulbasaur (nicknamed Emerald; partner Pokémon)

## Magical Warrior

Gemma is the Warrior of Kinship and Family; she is a Water/Fire/Plant Elemental who represents the Element of Magic. Her theme color is green with a sub of red and blue, and her known weapons so far are a harpoon, a vine summoner, and a firecracker gun.

### Attacks

* **Eau, Feu, Herbe** - Her main purification finisher, which borrows power from Coldbrew.
* **Germination Spring** - One of her sub-attacks.
* **Starsapphire Tide** - Being half-Starsapphire, it is obvious she uses this attack.
* **Starruby Flare** - Being half-Starruby, it is obvious she uses this attack.

## Trivia

* Her purification finisher Eau, Feu, Herbe is very similar to Water Pledge, Grass Pledge, and Fire Pledge.
* She and Melody are considered the highest-ranking Magis according to the Taisha, despite the former being a Messiah.
* Gemma refers to Marina as her aunt due to her being Jeremy's close platonic friend. This is similar to how Blissany often refers to Jim (who is missing at that point and his whereabouts are unknown) as her uncle due to him being Nanette's close platonic friend.
* Originally, there was going to be a third gem-themed family called the Skyemeralds that was a rival to both the Starruby *and* Starsapphire families. However, this was scrapped since their creator deemed it too silly, though Gemma is a remnant of this idea.
* She is considered to be an "expy" of Melody, though she is a child of the *other* two Divine Families.
* Gemma has the most drastic sange of any Magi: when she purifies Chaospale singlehandedly, she temporarily dies when the Shinju takes her *soul* as payment for using so much power in her Elemaximum, causing her body to fade away until the Shinju releases it, thus restoring her body. However, this has also happened to Melody a few times when she sanges, however.
* In the rewritten timeline, she was never stillborn and so the MoF had no need to revive her. As a result, much like Melody, she is also no longer as powerful as she was in the original timeline.
