Zhemchuzhnikovite

(its pronounced zem-choose-nick-oh-vight)

## Appearance

Zhemchuzhnikovite is an extremely high-standing gem, considered to be one of the highest in the Homeworld caste because of her rarity and extremely powerful botanokinesis that is often used to cover entire sections of planets in flora that can then be used to create better, and stronger gems. Like most powerful gems, she is extremely tall, standing at a total of ten feet seven inches tall. She has a light olive complexion, with dark olive eyes. She often wears her light lime colored hair in a large beehive updo, and wears a long light green dress with darker green diamond patterns across the trim and neck of it, with two sideways triangles at the waist. Her gem is located on her left eye and is a diamond shape.

## Personality

Zhemchuzhnikovite isn't exactly unique in terms of personality, because of the fact that she acts exactly like every other high ranking gem in the Homeworld caste; pompous, self-centered, and extremely pretentious. Zhemchuzhnikovite believes that she is the single most powerful and important gem under the Diamond Authority, and acts like so. She often treats other gems like dirt simply because she knows that she can get away with it, due to her very strong ties with other important gems. She will often have her entourage members groom and take care of her every need; should they fail in doing so, they are often poofed and bubbled for punishment... those who dare to betray or not listen to her every order, get shattered.

## Abilities

Zhemchuzhnikovite possesses standard gem abilities, such as shapeshifting, immortality, fusion, and superhuman strength. However, it is unknown if she can summon a weapon from her gemstone, or if her botanokinesis is her gem "weapon".

### Unique Abilities

* **Botanokinesis:**  Zhemchuzhnikovite can create, shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, moss, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits and flowers. She can cause plants to grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure and revive withered or dead plants. She can use her power for defense and support by growing plants from the ground and make them sprout seeds/fruits/berries, or even to possibly use plant chemicals to heal people or objects or manipulate their properties for a wide range of effects. Though less commonly activated by her , the ability may deal a series of offensive techniques on a target. Using the plants as weapons enables her to grasp and strike continuously with vines and roots, project thorns at a distance, and quickly regenerate the withering weapons at the user’s will. She can make vines grow and climb around a target's neck, causing choking, or even strike with plants. A more subtle technique is to release damaging toxins and pheromones, affecting targets in which conditions should be treated quickly with ailments. Zhemchuzhnikovite may also control plants in their altered forms, i.e. concentrated forms, such as cotton clothing/fabric, paper, etc.
	+ **Plant Enhancement:** Zhemchuzhnikovite can increase the amount and health of plants, flowers and other produce, heal and otherwise nourish them and influence environment to reach and stay on the ideal range to help plant-life flourish. She can communicate with plants, accelerate their growth and even create them from nothing if needed.
