Spinel

Spinel is a character in #1MikeFan's Adventure Series Team 28. She came from the series Steven Universe And Steven Universe Future. And also a character that might appear in in BeckLoveu6 Film Production's series Onchao And Friends also known as The Chronamantics along with the rest of the cast of Team 28. She lives with the diamonds but sometimes comes to Earth to hang out with Team 28 especially her mate Buck

## Personality

Spinel originally had a goofy, fun-loving personality. Acting somewhat naive and oblivious to others, she was to be Pink Diamond's best friend to the point of being clingy and ingenuine to her feelings. However upon being abandoned and later learning that Pink Diamond is gone with Steven taking her place and making new friends, Spinel is bitter and full of resentment towards everything connected with Pink Diamond. Due to this Spinel is unhinged, prone to spontaneous laughter, and extreme outbursts when reminded even indirectly that Pink Diamond forgot her. Despite her anger and irrationality, Spinel is somewhat trusting and she displays deeper emotions, Spinel is also mature enough to understand she will have difficulty creating friendships after what Pink Diamond put her through, but she is willing to start over with the other Diamonds and later on Team 28. Though silly and goofy in her original form, she is shown to be extremely intelligent and cunning in her altered state, something that she bonds with Buck over due to his love for danger. Years after returning to Homeworld with the Diamonds, Spinel returns to her goofy, fun-loving personality. She is still visibly embarrassed by her past mistakes, however. She is also noticeably less clingy, as she allows anyone to speak privately.

## Appearance

Spinel has a pink complexion, magenta eyes, a small pointy nose, and cerise hair that is styled into a pair of spiky pigtails. She also has three black lines underneath both of her eyes, an inversion of the eyelashes from her original form and reminiscent of running mascara. Her clothing consists of a plum-colored top, puffy pointed hot pink sleeves, puffy rose shorts, hot pink wrist-length gloves, white stockings, and a pair of rose knee-high pointy boots.

Her gemstone is located in the center of her chest, cut in the shape of an upside-down heart with lots of facets and detail.

## Trivia

* Spinel was designed to look like an *"out-of-date cartoon that never evolved"*: her design, gloves, first form's pupils and stretching abilities were based on old-fashioned cartoon characters of the early 1900s-era rubber hose animation style, having limbs bending and stretching freely with no articulation; and her movements were deliberate references to Grim Natwick, Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney's productions, which were cartoons of this style that are popular to this day (Her hair was similar to Mickey Mouse's ears since regardless of which direction she faced it always stayed along the outline of her head. While her original form resembled Mickey her new form resembled Mickey's predecessor Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.). Her opening song matched all of this in being similar to jazz or ragtime songs in these cartoons, such as Cab Calloway's involvement with Betty Boop. She tended to add old slang words into her speech such as *"swell"* and *"gee"* which were often used during the time rubber hose animation was popular. She also spoke with a slight New York accent referencing the speaking style of such cartoon characters.
	+ Her stretching ability and attacks could also be a nod to Jake the Dog from *Adventure Time*, as well as Monkey D. Luffy, Bellamy, and Charlotte Katakuri from *One Piece*, of which Sugar was a huge fan and used as inspiration.
	+ Her scythe attacks were similar to those of Maka Albarn from *Soul Eater*.
	+ She also seemed to be reminiscent of DC Comics' Harley Quinn, as both were colorfully modeled after court jesters and violent but disturbingly playful.
	+ Her squeaky feet were similar to the squeaky shoes of SpongeBob SquarePants from the eponymous TV series.
	+ The transformation back to her altered form was similar to transformations in magical girl anime.
		- Additionally, her hair buns resembled those of Chibiusa Tsukino and Chibi Chibi from *Sailor Moon*
