## Biography

### Emerging and Work as an Ice Trench Digger

Snowflake Obsidian emerged a few days after the Era 1 Ball, under The White Diamond Authority. She was one of the first Obsidians to have been emerged. After emerging she was taken to Homeworld, where she would be enrolled into the Learning Academy, where she was taught how to use her abilities. After mastering her powers, she was given a job as an ice trench digger. In which her job was to dig ice trenches for Homeworld's armies or workers when it came to colonization of other planets. At first she would be on her own when it came to ice trench digging, but later more Snowflake Obsidians would be told to assist each other in their duties. During her work, she would get along with numerous gems in White Diamond's court. There were occasional gems who didn't really like her, with a Quartz most notably being the one who didn't like her since she didn't like an Obsidian doing trench work, think herself or her sisters or brothers doing it. Despite these little rude comment, Snowflake didn't mind and just kept doing her job.

### Later Work and move to Earth

Several thousand years later, Snowflake continued doing work as and ice trench digger. During this time, Snowflake was eventually given to do new work on another planet, along with several other Obsidians. The planet they were being sent to was Earth, a new planet selected by The Great Diamond Authority for colonization. On Earth, Snowflake and several other Obsidians would confine to do their assigned jobs which would be digging and working on tunnels that would be used for Kindergartens and the buildings that would be built. However Snowflake and some of her fellow Obsidians were fascinated by Earth, however the gem in charge of them, Albaster, would tell them to get back to work.

### Saving and Becoming a Crystal Gem

Several years into the Earth colonization, a group of rebels began delaying the colonization progress. However during this, Alabaster had told Snowflake and the other Obsidians that there would be no mention of "Crystal Gems" nor "Rose Quartz". However Snowflake asked what would happen if Rose and the Crystal Gems attacked, Albaster responded to not say a word about them and to not be concerned or else. However Albaster would be incorrect as sometime later, the Crystal Gems attacked the area where she, Snowflake, and the other Obsidians were. Albaster ordered the Obsidians to stop them. The Obsidians did their best to combat the rebels, but were overpowered with Snowflake being punched by a Biggs Jasper.

During the scuffle some of the Obsidians were poofed and while Rose Quartz and her Pearl were fighting against Albaster, one of the other Obsidians was punched into a structure by a Bismuth, which caused the struggle to collapse. In the mayhem that followed, Rose and her Pearl fled to the others, leaving a beaten Albaster behind, who felt she was going to poof. As Snowflake burrowed out of the debris, she heard the cries of help from an Ocean Jasper who was trapped under the debris, Snowflake wanting to help the Ocean Jasper, ran to her and began removing the debris to help her get out. However as she removed the debris, Snowflake heard the yells of an aggravated Albaster, chastising her for helping a rebel. Snowflake shouted that a gem was a gem and the she needs help, all the while the Ocean Jasper pleaeded with Snowflake to get the debris off her. Snowflake told her she'd get her out na kept removing the debris, however Albaster shouted to Snowflake to stop right now or she will shatter her. Snowflake, enraged by that threat, shouted back that she didn't care and was going to help the Ocean Jasper out. As Snowflake removed the last piece of debris from the Ocean Jasper, who was extreme grateful, Alabaster approached, intending to shatter Snowflake.

However before Alabaster could even have a chance to even strike, a fusion, the Biggs Jasper, and another Rose Quartz made their way to the battle with he three instantly springing into action, with the Biggs Jasper grabbing Alabaster's neck from behind and threw her from behind, the other Rose Quartz would then use a ribbon on her weapon to entrap Alabaster. It was at that moment the fusion formed a gauntlet and punched Alabaster, poofing her. However Rose Quartz, the Pearl, and the Bismuth approached the scene, with the fusion telling Rose that Snowflake had saved Ocean Jasper. Rose would then approach Snowflake and thank her for saving Ocean Jasper and standing up to Albaster. Additionally, Rose offered Snowflake to be a member of the Crystal Gems. Snowflake, not wanting to face the consequences of Homeworld, and amazed by Rose promptly agreed to join.

After the Crystal Gems took their new addition back to their hidden base, Snowflake would meet the Crystal Gems with Pearl, Garnet, Bismuth, Biggs Jasper, Ocean Jasper, and Nova, with Bismuth liking Snowflake the most. Snowflake felt like she was finally part of a team who respected and liked her for what she was. Snowflake would continue to serve the Crystal Gems and fight for the cause.

Upon the Larimar coming in, Snowflake asked who she was. The Larimar nervously replied she was Larimar and that she wanted to be a Crystal Gem. Upon the Crystal Gems hearing this, Rose let the Larimar join the Crystal Gems, though Pearl was concerned about Larimar's safety due to her being a smaller gem. However Snowflake stated she was a Crystal Gem and that's what matters. Larimar, feeling good, thanked Snowflake, the two instantly became friends.
