* Uncorrupted
* Semi-Corrupted

**Dioptase** is the fusion of Ice and Nephrite.

## Appearance

### Semi-Corrupted

She has a large, chubby, dark-turquoise Centipede-like body with multiple sets of pointed legs, a stinger, and a pincer on her tail. Her hair is mint green and fluffy, and she has a somewhat similar tuft of hair under her centipeetle jaw, in which her head is located. Her eyeball gem serves as its pupil, and her bottom set of eyes are the same teal color and she has a jagged mouth. She has a crystal-like turquoise carapace covering her back. She also has three sets of arms with functioning hands, with the first in their normal position, the second on her waist, and the third in the middle of her body. Her gemstones are embedded in her chest and her large eyeball.

Her hands split in color like dark-grey gloves, with the right hand splitting in a way that looks like tears, and the left hand splitting with turquoise trim in between. On her shoulder, a partial turquoise star can be seen.

### Uncorrupted

Dioptase's skin turns lighter, going from teal to light teal. Her eyes become larger and upturned, with cat-like eyeliner and light blue irises, while Nephrite's gem continues to be embedded in her forehead, acting as a third eye. She now has thin lips and wears a small helmet. Her hair is less unkempt.

Nothing is known about the rest of her body.
