### Roleplayer

Ilta Impi (Amber&Onyx)

Lepidolite (Facet-3F7E Cabochon-5XK) is a Homeworld-opposed gem living on Earth.

## Appearance

Lepidolite is a somewhat tall gem with a curvy or feminine body shape. She has mauve skin with very light purple and very dark purple 'freckles' mixed together over her skin on her face, shoulders, back, arms and all over her legs. Her fingers are a dark aubergine. She has a fluffy, curly, orchid-purple mohawk, with dark aubergine colouration on the 'shaved' parts. She has a well-defined, angled nose, plump lips, and royal-violet downturned eyes with black, isotoxal-star-shaped pupils and thick, feathery, black eyebrows. Her outfit consists of a sleeveless jumpsuit-romper with a royal-blue sailor collar that ends at a point just above her gem. Going from this point and sloping outward down the front of her chest is a Prussian-blue triangle, which has two sky-blue, sideways squares on either side of the tip. The base of the triangle borders a royal-blue waist belt. Bordering the other side of the belt is another, shorter triangle of the same colour as the first one, which in combination with the top one forms a vaguely diamond shape. At the bottom of her waist down, she has a wide, asymmetrical, royal-blue stripe that tapers as it goes to her right thigh and thickening as it goes to the left, looping around. The base of the suit, both at the top and bottom, is a light salmon colour, and beneath the asymmetrical stripe is Prussian-blue. Her calf-high boots are the same colour as the base of her suit.

## Personality

Logical, ambitious and impulsive, Lepidolite focuses on the things that make sense to her most often. Though creative and passionate, she lacks a sense of proper forethought in a lot of social situations, saying things without thinking and often hurting feelings or being uncomfortably blunt. She’s possessive of the things she considers hers and doesn’t like anyone messing with them or the way she has them. Very set in a routine, she will always, for example, sit in the same spot when multiple spots are available and become incredibly aggravated if she is stopped from doing so, such as if someone decides to sit in ‘her spot’. She’s passionate when talking about something she likes, ridicules when others can’t take things seriously. Sometimes she makes assumptions that lead to her own embarrassment and gets frustrated about it. She also tends to reciprocate interruption. If she’s trying to explain something to someone, and they try to interrupt her- to clarify something or anything of that sort- she will aggressively assert having been in the middle of speaking. She gets excited by things, and annoyed by things easily, and feels emotions with incredible intensity. She likes peace and quiet and likes to show off, but she can hardly handle embarrassment, won't let anything mess with her things, and can't stand ending up with a misunderstanding.

## History

Too impulsive and passionate, this Lepidolite had too many incidents of being snarky, and then one big incident of snapping at and telling off one of her superiors, getting her in pretty huge trouble. She had constantly disagreed and argued over the way things were. She began helping defectors escape Homeworld, until she decided that she wanted to escape too. So, she left with Lazurite’s crew.

## Abilities

Along with the normal abilities of a gem- Summoning a weapon, shapeshifting, regeneration, fusion, bubbling gems, enhanced durability- Lepidolite has a few minor abilities of her own.

* **Photokinesis:** Lepidolite possesses the ability to generate and manipulate light.
	+ **Holomancy:** Lepidolite possesses the ability to create holographic projections, whether two dimensional, three dimensional, for demonstration or as an independent functional entity.
* **Audiokinesis:** Audiokinesis is the ability to create and manipulate sound. In Lepidolite's case, **t**his actually generally works more in the capacity of ventriloquism, in that Lepidolite possesses the ability to throw her voice, make it sound like it's coming from somewhere else, make it sound like someone else's, or make other noises.
* **Minor Psychokinesis:** Lepidolite possesses the minor ability to move objects without touching them via psychic ability and physical gesturing. She cannot move things that are too heavy.
	+ It's unclear if telekinesis and psychokinesis are actually different, but the distinction here is the usage of physical movement in tandem with psychic power.
* **Technopathy:** Lepidolite possesses the ability to control and manipulate electronics with her mind.

### Fusions

* When fused with Bumblebee Jasper, they form Golden Dendritic Opal.
* When fused with Cat's-Eye Chrysoberyl, they form Red Cat's-Eye Rutile.
* When fused with Chocolate Tahitian Pearl, they form Kunzite.

* When fused with Lazurite, they form Blue Adventurine.
* When fused with Leuco Sapphire, they form Cloudy Crystal Quartz
* When fused with Rhodochrosite, they form Fire Opal.

### Skillset

* **Technological Skills:** Lepidolite demonstrates mastery of programming and technology, and skill in engineering.
* **Confidence:** In battle, Lepidolite lacks hesitation and fear.
* **Focus:** Lepidolite is not easily distracted, in battle or otherwise.
* K**atar Proficiency:** Lepidolite is skilled in using and dual-wielding her Katar.
* **Swordsmanship:** Lepidolite has demonstrated aptitude and skill in swordplay.

## Relationships

### Bumblebee Jasper

Lepidolite and Bumblebee Jasper have a strange tense relationship, as Lepidolite and her would definitely play Mario Kart together and love it, but Lepidolite's aggressive nature can cause emotional stress for Bumblebee when 'passion' becomes 'anger'. While Lepidolite's passion also helps as she can be very encouraging to Bumblebee, she also carries an intense emphasis on fault and blame, which hurts Bumblebee.

### Cat's-Eye Chrysoberyl

Cat’s-Eye and Lepidolite don’t always get along, as Lepidolite struggles to actually calm down and listen to Cat’s-Eye, and her voice tends to be loud, hurting Cat’s-Eye’s sensitive hearing. They do have a good time talking when Lepidolite is calm, however.

### Chocolate Tahitian Pearl

Lepidolite and Chocolate Tahitian Pearl can be either incredibly close pals working collaboratively and trying their best, or two rivals at a constant stalemate. Lepidolite can prove to be unwilling to listen to others at times, which leads to teamwork being a hassle, or even impossible. While Chocolate Tahitian Pearl never tries to stir anything up, things get stirred up anyway. But aside from that, Lepidolite enjoys similar things to Tahi, such as tea and technology, and they will often discuss calmly about things with teacups in their hands. They often cooperate to get twice as much programming or other technological work done twice as fast, complimenting and respecting each others' efficiency. On the other hand, they also have plenty of arguments, especially when it comes to talking about the programming they collaborated on; as Lepidolite can get overzealous and claim more ownership of the programming than she really has a right to, and Tahi absolutely cannot stand false claims of ownership. They are either working together, arguing, or chatting passive-aggressively.

### Lazurite

Their relationship is a little strained, not because they dislike each other, but because they often come to arguments. Lepidolite doesn't always listen to what Lazurite says as captain and doesn't always *respect* them as a captain. Lepidolite has had the issue of snapping at superiors in the past, and that hasn't gone away. She has had incidents in which she has yelled at Lazurite for many reasons, some justified, some petty, some ridiculous. She does, however, enjoy their stories and is trying to learn to respect them as captain, and she already respects and cares about them as a person.

### Leuco Sapphire

Leuco Sapphire is commonly known to playfully tease Lepidolite quite often, usually because Lepidolite won't let Leuco warn her against saying and doing embarrassing things.

### Rhodochrosite

Lepidolite and Rhodochrosite rarely interact, but Rhodochrosite is exceptionally good at calming Lepidolite down and Lepidolite admires her. When Lepidolite showed interest- and some preexisting skill- in swordfighting, Rhodochrosite decided to act as a sort of mentor for her.

### Seraphinite

Lepidolite often chastises Seraphinite for acting childish and making foolish decisions, but secretly admires her strength and raw energy. Seraphinite playfully torments Lepidolite as a counterattack to her ridiculing.

#### Dottie

Lepidolite, like most everyone, legitimately cares about Dottie. She appreciates that Dottie and herself are both technologically apt, and likes talking about technological-based things with her. They're both kinda loud, though, and Lepidolite still chastises Dottie for childishness.

#### Elle

Similarly with Seraphinite and Dottie, Lepidolite can be critical of Elle when she acts childish but is generally reserved toward her otherwise.

#### Moss Agate

They often butt heads, but Lepidolite is noted as referring to Moss Agate as being 'always just so sweet'. Although they argue a lot, Lepidolite appreciates her good nature.
