Hessonite

* Current
* Debut

**Hessonite** is a Homeworld Gem, and an original character that appears in *Save the Light* .

## Appearance

Hessonite has a tall body with wide and angular hips, two arms, and long legs. Her skin is a yellow-orange color and she has one yellow eye and one red-orange eye, with them both having a black pupil. She also lacks a nose and has defined lips. Her hair is short and poofy, being a light yellow afro. Her gemstone is on her chest and is dark orange.

### Pre-regeneration (debut)

She wore a dull red-orange sleeveless short bodysuit with a very large and bulky dandelion cape that was dark orange on the inside with lots of orange diamonds, and she also wore long ivory gloves and boots.

### Post-regeneration (current)

She now wears a red and very light pink long sleeved bodysuit with dark gray sleeves and shoulder pads, a matching waistband, and tall very light pink boots with red tipped toes.

## Personality

Hessonite was pompous but also vicious and aggressive when opposed. During her introduction Hessonite was shown to have a high sense of self looking down on others as beneath her. True to her former rank she was commanding of those she deemed inferior and not opposed to treating them as tools. She was also quick to anger when things didn't go her way and reactive to anything that removed opposition.

After her defeat, Hessonite admitted she was imperfect wanting to be as everyone told her but needed the Prism to live up to such expectations and called herself defective. This revealed that for her imperious demeanor she was insecure and might have felt trapped by her race's high standards.
