Nephrite (Starite)

**Nephrite**, also known as **Starite**, is a former Homeworld Gem, and now one of the Elementals prison wardens, currently living on Elementals Spaceship 9Z5. Originally from Spaceship 3X6, before it's destruction, Starite is officially first met in the story *Homeworld's Game of Love*, which covers her past before the Elementals, working as a Commander for Homeworld, however, she is first introduced in the actual RP as the Prison Warden of the Elemental's Spaceship 9Z5, overlooking the new, dangerous prisoners.

## Appearance

Starite, as a Nephrite Gem, has green skin and light, kind of pale, sage green fluffy hair which is shaped like a star. Similarly to another Nephrite, her gem is located on her face, and doubles as her eye, as well, being light green and dark green in colour. She seemingly also has no nose, or at least has a very small one.

As a member of the Elementals, Starite wears a silver coloured outfit comprised of a silver vest and trousers. When working in the prison areas she wears a black belt which has a Gem Destabilizer and tablet hanging from it. Starite is also usually seen wearing limb enhancers, being roughly similar in height to Peridots without them, albeit a bit taller.

## Personality

Starite is shown to be extremely loyal to the Elementals, seeing freedom as just some 'stupid concept' that the members of the Gem Rebellion came up with to fight against the Diamonds with, and taking personal offence to the Gems who blew up Spaceship 3X6 to be free again, which was her home prior to Spaceship 9Z5. When asked by Sean McCarthy over whether or not she enjoyed her job as the Elementals prison Warden she at first hesitated before telling him it didn't matter whether she did or not, and that whatever her job was she would do without question, as it was what she was made for, suggesting while she believes these ideologies, she doesn't actually enjoy it, as proven by her past.

When reprimanded by the Administrator Ametrine for not obeying her orders, telling Starite to 'know her place' and either do as Ametrine asks or get out, Starite becomes increasingly nervous and apologetic, in stark contrast to her cool and calm demeanour up until then. Sean tries to convince Starite that she doesn't have to do *exactly* what people like Ametrine say all the time, but it goes right over her head. She responds by saying Ametrine was right, that she spoke out of line and that she should have obeyed without question. Starite then leaves when told to by the Administrator, and mumbles to herself that it was incredibly embarrassing, before hoping that it doesn't show up on her report. With all this in mind, it's easy to imagine that Starite is afraid of what the Elementals will do to her if she disobeys them, which is one of the reasons she is so 'loyal'. Not just simply believing obeying them is what's right, but also being petrified of what they'll do to her is she doesn't.

### Ametrine

Not much is known of Ametrine and Starite's relationship, other than that Starite is seemingly terrified of the Administrator, due to the power that comes with her position. As such, while a bit oblivious at times, Starite *usually* obeys her without question, stating that Ametrine not only knows better, but that she doesn't have the right to talk back to Ametrine in the first place, reprimanding herself if she ever does.

### Chromite

Starite and Chromite both came from Spaceship 3X6, and so it is believed that they at least know who each other are. Starite is shown to have sympathy for Chromite, as she says if it were not for those 'Earth Gems' (Moonstone, Rubellite, Kyanite, Amber, etc), then Chromite would not have lost her home.

### Albite

Starite and Albite both came from Spaceship 3X6, and so it is believed that they at least know who each other are. Starite is shown to have sympathy for Albite, as she says if it were not for those 'Earth Gems' (Moonstone, Rubellite, Kyanite, Amber, etc), then Albite would not have lost her home.

### Sean McCarthy

Although Starite doesn't seem to necessarily dislike Sean, she is seen getting annoyed at him rather easily, especially when he tries to constantly tell him she doesn't have to obey the Elementals so strictly, and whenever he takes or tries to look through her tablet that she has clipped to her belt. Sean is also the one who decided to nickname Starite (instead of just calling her Nephrite), which was coincidentally the same nickname that Starite's crew once gave her when she was still with Homeworld. Overall, while Starite appreciates what Sean is trying to do for her, she would rather he left her alone, as she's already accepted that she will be stuck with the Elementals forever, and will never bother trying to escape.

## Trivia

* The tablet that Starite carries around with her is actually powered by a Gem on the back. This went unnoticed by Sean when he first took Starite's tablet from her. The type of Gem that powers the tablet is unknown
	+ It's believed that Starite is so protective of her tablet because of the Gem on the back, and not because of the tablet itself or its contents, as she says
