Magnetite

Magnetite is a Gem living in The Injector on Mars. She acts as its receptionist and operator, answering messages for the Remade Gems.

## Appearance

Magnetite is slightly shorter than a Pearl, with a thin build. Her face is pudgy, with her Gemstone replacing her left eye. Her right eye has a black iris, her nose is upturned, and she has no lips. Her hair is done in a short, neat bob.

Magnetite wears a long, dark gray dress with a skirt that has a lighter gray end and falls above her ankles, a pale gray collar, and green diamond-shaped buttons. The dress also has darker gray sleeves with a matching belt and slippers.

## Personality

Magnetite's behavior tends to revolve around the worship and glorification of Chameleon Diamond. Despite being a former Homeworld loyalist, she embraces the concept of Gemetic modification, seeing it as a blessing from Chameleon Diamond herself. She believes the Remade Gems are the answer to all her and other Gems' problems.

## History

Magnetite's past before the Rebellion is unknown. When Earth's colonization began, she was sent to Blue Diamond's outpost on the nearby Mars, to manage its communications. She worked uneventfully for nearly a millennium, unaffected by the war on Earth. However, once the war ended and Mars was abandoned, Magnetite was distraught. She became a formal member of the Martian Loyalists, whom she believed would fill the void left by the Diamond Authority's abandonment. Much to her displeasure, while the Loyalists maintained order within the Tower, they had no interest in "replacing" the Diamonds.

Around 500 years ago, an Injector-shaped ship landed on Mars, and Magnetite learned about the existence of a synthetic Diamond. She realized that this was exactly what she sought: a Diamond to replace the one that abandoned her. Using her position as an operator within the Tower, she reached out to the Remade Gems and arranged for transport to the Injector. After meeting with the faction's leaders (eventually including Chameleon Diamond herself), she gleefully joined the faction, taking up a job similar to that she had on Homeworld.

## Abilities

As an Era 1 Gem, Magnetite has standard Gem abilities.

## Relationships

### Chameleon Diamond

Magnetite idolizes Chameleon Diamond, and worships her as if she were the Diamond she was made for.

### Remade Gems

Despite being a fairly important member of the faction, Magnetite is not well-liked by most Remade Gems due to her fanaticism and apparent blind loyalty, which many members consider the antithesis of the factions ideals.

## Trivia

## Gemology

Gemstone Information

* Magnetite normally occurs in black, though it may also be dark brown, or lighten to a dark brown over time.
* Due to its natural magnetism, magnetite is believed to have magnetic healing properties, and is used frequently as a healing crystal.
* Magnetite is considered a grounding stone, supposedly able to help find balance and eliminate confusion. Magnetite is also supposedly able to "attract" desirable people or situations.
