Cyan Diamond

**Cyan Diamond** is a Homeworld Gem, and an original character created by BTDA. She a member of the Great Diamond Authority, and part of the Yellow-Blue Sub-court.

## Appearance

As one of the rulers of Homeworld, Cyan Diamond has a massive size, being almost as tall as Yellow and Blue. She has light cyan skin and long, fluffy, pale seafoam hair with a wavy side bang. She has a long ovoid face, defined lips with teal lipstick, and a slim nose. She has black mascara and teal eyeshadow, bright cyan eyes with black diamond-shaped pupils and thin eyebrows.

Cyan wears a teal bodycon dress with a ruffled design around the legs and at the sweetheart neckline which has thin halter straps. She also wears deep cyan heels and gloves as well as a short, fluffy, mint-white fur coat that she wears off her shoulders. Her gemstone is located in the centre of her chest and is cyan.

## Personality

Cyan Diamond is said to be a very diplomatic and merciful Diamond, even more so than Blue. She is very caring and compassionate, believing that her Gems should always be given another chance to redeem themselves instead of being punished for any minor flaw. She shows great respect towards all the Gems in her court and treats them equally, no matter their status and position in the Hierarchy.

After Pink Diamond’s supposed shattering, Cyan was heartbroken, mourning her loss with Blue. Along with Blue Diamond, she became fixated on preserving Pink Diamond’s legacy.

## Abilities

Cyan Diamond possesses standard Gem abilities, including fusion, bubbling, shapeshifting, regeneration, superhuman strength/durability and agelessness. But since she is a Diamond, the abilities are expected to be much greater than usual.

### Fusions

* When fused with Blue Diamond, they form Azure Diamond.

### Skillset

* **Spaceship Piloting**: Cyan Diamond has a spaceship only she is capable of controlling with her left hand,

### Unique Abilities

* **Aura Projection:** The Diamonds can project an aura around them that they can control; they can either radiate it from their entire bodies or emit it from specific parts of their bodies (i.e., their hands). Cyan's aura is aqua and appears spiky on top but looks like dense mist on the bottom, symbolic of ice crystals and dry ice mist.
	+ **Cryokinesis:** Cyan's ice manipulation is the strongest of any Gem, able to create mass amounts of it and even gain control over ice created by others. She can use her ice powers both offensively and defensively. This ability is not always used deliberately as it is also linked to her emotional state, freezing up and creating ice crystals around her hands,feet and dress when upset, nervous or distressed.
		- **Freezing Beam:** Any Gem that is hit with Cyan's aura has their physical form freeze into solid ice, shattering shortly after. Their gemstone remains temporarily frozen and the time they spend dissipated lasts much longer due to them needing to thaw before they can regenerate their form, however this can be sped up if one were to fuse with the frozen Gem. Cyan rarely ever attacks as this is only shown when she accidently lashes out at Variscite.
	+ **Distress Inducement:** Gems that are hit with less concentrated amounts of her aura can also feel profound distress, helplessness and cold.
	+ **Corruption Induction:** Along with the other Diamonds collectively, Cyan Diamond can corrupt a Gem's form.
		- **Corruption Reversal:** Along with the rest of the Diamonds, Cyan Diamond has the ability to reverse the effects of the Corrupting Light on Gems.
* **Psychic Resistance**: Cyan Diamond's aura shields her from telepathic abilities through the sheer intensity of her thoughts, even without her own awareness.
* **Water Generation:** Cyan Diamond can create water which she can control, made from what once was the ice she created in her moments of sorrow. She can also manipulate small amounts of readily existing water sources, which once under her control gains special properties.
	+ **Serenity** **Inducement:** When a Gem comes into contact with this water, they feel warm, safe, and relaxed. This is the opposite of her distress inducement.
* **Water Walking:** Cyan can run or walk on the surface of water.

### Clandestine Abilities

* **White Capsule Generation**: While controlled by White Diamond, Cyan Diamond can create a kind of white capsule around itself or other gems, with several utilities.
	+ **Levitational Transport**: The capsule can also float around, as seen in "Change Your Mind".
	+ **Teleportation**: The capsule can also teleport Cyan Diamond, as seen in "Change Your Mind".
* **Levitation**: While controlled by White Diamond, Cyan Diamond has the ability to, indirectly, suspend her body.
* **Optical White Burst**: While controlled by White Diamond, Cyan Diamond is capable of emitting a sudden blast of white energy (equivalent to White Diamond's aura) from both her eyes. Those hit by this energy are then linked to White Diamond's hive mind and under her total mental control.

## Trivia

* Cyan Diamond's ice abilities are symbolic of her role to "preserve" the past, as ice can be used as a preservative as well as ice literally freezing things in time.
* The similarities between her and Blue Diamond even extend to accents, as Cyan has a Scottish accent and Blue an Irish accent.
* Cyan Diamond was the first out of the other New Generation Diamonds to be designed by BDTA, being created a year before the Extended Authority idea was made.

## Gemology

* Cyan Diamond is a variety of coloured diamond with the chemical formula C.
* They are either green diamonds with blue undertones or blue diamonds with green undertones, both creating a beautiful turquoise colour.
* Cyan Diamonds are incredibly rare as both fancy colour green and blue diamonds are also rare. They are used in jewelry but very sparingly due to their rarity.
* They are mostly found in Africa and Brazil.
* The largest and most well known natural blue-green diamonds are the Ocean Dream Diamond and the Ocean Paradise Diamond.
* Just as any other diamond, cyan diamond has a Mohs scale hardness of 10, ranking it at the top.
* Because of their rarity, they do not have their own healing properties but probably just the properties of green diamonds and blue diamonds, as well as the properties of diamonds in general.
