Chalcedony

## Appearance

Chalcedony is one of the taller Crystal Gems, standing just a few inches above Pearl and just a few below Garnet. Her skin is a soft blue, her eyes a calm grey. Her purple hair sits wavy and used to fall down near her waist. When she joined the Crystal Gems, she traded it off for a shorter style, having it cut off just above her shoulder-blades. It is usually tied up in some way with a white or purple ribbon when she needs it out of the way for battle.

Her gem rests on the center of her chest.

### Outfit

#### 1. (Homeworld outfit)

She wore a soft-purple leotard with a ruffled wrap train skirt of the same color. On her shoulders were horizontal spiked shoulder pads of the same purple color with little blue (fake) diamond gems hung from each spike. She wore white earrings with a matching white choker. Purple-Pinkish sort of ballet slippers covered her feet, with white ribbons attached to them crossing up to just below her knee. Soft-purple fingerless gloves covered up to her elbows.

2. (Crystal Gem outfit)

Another soft-purple leotard, with a darker purple pattern. She wore a double-layered tutu-skirt of the same soft color, with the same darker-purple in a slit of fabric connecting the skirt to the leo. She wears white star-shaped earrings, and the same gloves as before, only white now. She wears the same shoes as before, but the ribbons connected to them stop at her ankles now.

## Personality

Chalcedony is quiet most of the time, but will stand up for anybody she feels the need to. She is very protective over those she cares about, and cares about them a lot, maybe too much.

In secret, Chalcedony blames herself for the terrible things she did when she was apart of Blue Diamond's court, and believes she does not deserve happiness, and should feel the same pain she caused upon others.

## Weapon

Chalcedony can summon a glaive. At the end of the handle, there a long blue ribbon for 'aesthetic detail'.

### Updated Weapon

When the weapons of the Crystal Gems were updated (In the Bismuth episode), a second blade was added to the bare end of the glaive and the ribbon was doubled to the base of each blade.

## Other Abilities

Along with the standard abilities that every gem possesses, Chalcedony has two extra powers that she was given at her creation.

• **Hypnosis** - *She can use this ability at her freewill. Taking faint control of other gems, she can make them feel whatever she pleases. In the early days of her life on Homeworld, she would use this power for horrid causes. When she became a Crystal Gem, she refused to use this power ever again. Her entire eyes glow a bright neon white when she uses this power.*

• **Nephelokinesis -** *She can also use this ability at her freewill. Nephelokinesis is the ability to control clouds and vapor. Chalcedony rarely uses this power, especially not in battle or in a physical fight. She uses it more for show or for fun.*

## Backstory

In the early days of Era 1, Chalcedony was made as a one of a kind gem and a gift to Blue Diamond from White. A gift of unknown reason.

In Era 2, gems, especially those that came from the (now disbanded) Pink court, that misbehaved, refused to follow orders, or refused to share any crucial information about anything to Blue Diamond, were tortured by Chalcedony until they either poofed, they psychologically cracked (such as Volleyball did), or they spilled the information.

In trials of any kind, gems that too refused to share any important information they had were controlled by Chalcedony until they talked instead of the situation immediately resorting to Yellow Diamond (if she were present) to use her own power and instantly poof said gem.

During one of large rebellion battles on Earth, Chalcedony became aware of the Crystal Gem's real and unbiased cause and the true beauty of the planet and eventually joined the Crystal gems. Homeworld became under the belief that Chalcedony had been shattered (until the events of the original series' episode 'Reunited'.)
