Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten (Archived)

Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten was a Martian Kindergarten that was removed from the lore of the Mars AU after it seemed unlikely that it would be established at all. It specialized in creating Iron Roses, a Gem type unique to the Kindergarten.

## Description

Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten resembles a high-quality Kindergarten, with straight walls and even-spaced exit holes. However, the exit holes in question come in a variety of sizes, ranging from smaller than an Aquamarine to the size of a double-Topaz fusion. Smaller exit holes appear further down the walls.

## History

Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten was set up not long after the Injector landed on Mars, and the first Iron Roses were injected just over 400 years before the events of the show.

### "Signs of Life"

At the end of the chapter, the first Iron Roses are seen emerging from the Kindergarten. Peacock Pearl is present to see these Gems emerge, but is confused by them. He is about to consult a note-taking device when a mysterious ship touches down just outside the Kindergarten; Cubic Zirconia and Crazy Lace Agate step out with a bubbled Basalt.

### "Welcome to Mars"

Cubic Zirconia hands Basalt's bubble over to Crazy Lace, both seemingly blind to the activity below them. After Cubic leaves to scout the area, Peacock Pearl approaches the Agate and talks to her. After a short conversation, he frees Basalt and explains their situation to her. At that moment, the Zirconia returns and briefly interrogates Peacock Pearl, just to get a clearly false answer. She begins to lead Basalt and Crazy Lace to the Fortress, and Peacock Pearl tags along, explaining that Mars has changed significantly over 5,000 years.

## Trivia

* Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten was added early on in the AU's history, but was eventually removed as her faction changed and it began to contradict their other behaviors.
* Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten, when canon, could be considered an opposing counterpart to the Emergency Kindergarten.
	+ Both are on Mars, but while the Emergency Kindergarten was made for the "natural" Pink Diamond, Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten was (needless to say) made for the mostly-green and synthetic Chameleon Diamond.
	+ Both specialize in a relatively diverse Gem type; the Emergency Kindergarten mainly created Quartzes, while Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten creates Iron Roses.
	+ The Emergency Kindergarten is long abandoned, but Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten is relatively new and still active.
	+ The Emergency Kindergarten has jagged or curved walls and randomly placed exit holes, while Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten has straight and smooth walls with evenly spaced exit holes.
	+ In The Forgotten Planet, Basalt and Crazy Lace Agate were attacked at the Emergency Kindergarten (by Sillimanite), but welcomed at Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten (by Peacock Pearl).
* When Chameleon Diamond's Kindergarten was shown initially in The Forgotten Planet, Iron Roses were going to all be one size and shape. However, this was changed fairly quickly, and in all later appearances the Kindergarten has exit holes of varying sizes.
