Magnesite

**Magnesite** is a formerly corrupted Gem and one of the Elemental's Administrator's, currently living on Spaceship 9Z5. She works heavily alongside fellow Administrator Sunstone, both of whom have taken an interest in a human on their ship named Kuuruko Wallerstein. Kuuruko is, officially, an ex-prisoner who was once an assistant to Magnesite, yet was treated more akin to a 'pet' or slave until recently.

## Appearance

Magnesite is a Gem of average height, with pure white skin and messy, long dark grey hair, which reaches below her waist. In the past, she was corrupted through fusion with an already corrupted Gem, however has since been healed along with all the others. After becoming uncorrupted, she has been left with some scarring; she now has two black horns on each side of her head, purple swirls and markings all over her body, and her eyes no longer have pupils, becoming dead and emotionless. Her Gemstone is located on her upper back.

As a member of the Elementals, Magnesite wears a silver-coloured outfit composed of a tank top and skirt, which goes down just below her knees, along with simple shoes and a long, grey cloak, which flows down to the ground. It is clasped together around her shoulders/neck with a dark red cloak clasp shaped almost like a four-leaf-clover. It is believed to have been given to her as a gift from her previous Commander.

## Personality

Magnesite, as a stark contrast to her coworker Sunstone, is about as mundane as one can be on the surface. The only times other Elementals see her outside of her room, she is carrying out orders for the Commanders, simply going about doing her job. She is incredibly quiet and only really ever speaks to either Kuuruko or Sunstone, and dislikes interacting with others. Despite this, as best known to Sunstone and Kuuruko, she is completely different in private. When talking to anyone outside of working, unless they are a Commander, she is rude and arrogant, often ignoring others unless she deems them worthy of her time. She keeps her monotonous and deadpan expression and voice, however, and acts practically dead inside around them. In a simple sense, she's a snob; believing she's better than most others, and always demanding perfection from those under her employ. She gets along with almost no one, and is seen as a nuisance to work around/with.

Unknown to most, Magnesite has a much more sinister side to herself. As seen around Kuuruko, she sees humans as an inferior race to Gems, and as such treats some like they're nothing. In the past, she has taken great joy in any opportunities to experiment on or study humans, due to her limited knowledge of them. She only ever shows any real respect to the half-human Sean McCarthy. She does, however, seemingly hate Sean's father Finn to some degree, blaming him for the loss of the Gem Azurite, whom, despite probably thinking less of Azurite than herself, still believes she would have been more valuable to the Elementals than Sean.

Having Kuuruko live in her room, practically treating her as a toy, Magnesite takes any and every opportunity to mess with the human Elemental. She studies Kuuruko in her free time, often seeing how much pain she can bare before breaking down, or forcing her to stay awake so that she can see what effects having no-sleep has on humans. And despite being Magnesite's assistant, Kuuruko is never really trusted with anything beyond carrying things around for the Administrator, or looking after files. This is because, as a human, Magnesite believes Kuuruko to not be intelligent enough to handle harder tasks, often referring to her as a 'dunce', sometimes without reason, and 'disciplines' Kuuruko with all levels of physical punishment. It is safe to say Magnesite has taken advantage of Kuuruko in every way possible by now; being both physically and psychologically abusive. As such, she may actually be the most knowledgeable person on humans in the Elementals, however keeps the information to herself to torment Kuuruko, doing so with a grin.

## Background

Not much is known about Magnesite before joining the Elementals. She has been a part of them for as long as she can remember, being on board a different ship before joining Spaceship 9Z5. At some point during this transition, she had been left stranded on Earth, and, out of curiosity and naivety, attempted Fusion with a corrupted Gem. This eventually left her Corrupted too, however she was eventually cured along with all the other corrupted Gems on Earth.

After being cured, Magnesite went on to poof and bubble Imperial Jasper, another formerly corrupted Gem, believing her to be the one that caused Magnesite's corruption. This is likely false, however, as while her scarring from corruption is purple, Imperial Jasper's scarring is light blue. Nevertheless, Magnesite eventually found her way back to the Elementals, more specifically Elemental Spaceship 9Z5, and was reinstated as an Administrator, her rank in the past. She handed Imperial Jasper over to the Elementals, and she was eventually made a guard, now nicknamed 'Blueberry'.

## Relationships

### Blueberry

Blueberry (Imperial Jasper) and Magnesite have a tension-filled relationship, both loathing and blaming each other for ruining each other's lives. As Magnesite believes Blueberry was the Corrupted Gem she Fused with, which made Magnesite herself Corrupted, she now blames Blueberry for the permanent scarring and markings she now has. Blueberry, on the other hand, despises Magnesite for being the one to bring her to the Elementals, which lead to her current entrapment and employment as a guard. Blueberry, previously being apart of the Gem rebellion on Earth, has strong beliefs towards the way the Elementals run their organisation, and despises most of them as a whole, seeing them as the exact thing she once fought against. This includes Magnesite.

### Sunstone

Sunstone and Magnesite have both worked together for quite sometime now, and while they don't necessarily get along, with Sunstone constantly teasing and mocking Magnesite, especially for her treatment of Kuuruko, and with Magnesite constantly belittling and mocking Sunstone, believing her to be a loud nuisance that does nothing but take up space on Spaceship 9Z5. Despite all this, they maintain a healthy working relationship, and likely just enjoy messing with each other. Well, Sunstone certainly enjoys it, anyway.

### Kuuruko

Magnesite is one of Kuuruko's tormentors, and would likely be called Kuuruko's owner if asked by an Elemental, being seen as basically just property by Magnesite. They have an unstable and toxic forced 'romantic' relationship, best seen in private. Magnesite is known to have both physically and psychologically abused Kuuruko on many occasions in the past, and continues to do so now. Despite this, Kuuruko stayed silent and obedient throughout everything for a very long time, only really trying to get away when encouraged and backed up by Sean McCarthy, and later Blueberry. When Kuuruko worked for Magnesite, whenever Kuuruko '*misbehaved*', Magnesite would punish her usually by beatings, and even sometimes through the other forms of abuse mentioned earlier.

However, after losing Kuuruko in a sense, as she no longer works for Magnesite, she has started to become a lot more compassionate all of a sudden. Magnesite claims to have done what she did to Kuuruko out of love, coming from a state of confusion as she has never truly understood humans, or how to properly deal with them. While this may seem like another lie to try and bring Kuuruko back, Magnesite is genuine; having '*disciplined*' Kuuruko in the ways she did because there was no other way she knew how. There were also times where she simply abused Kuuruko as she found it amusing, such as when she put Kuuruko on a collar and leash, however these times may have been rare. Magnesite is currently attempting to apologise and make up with Kuuruko, however as she simply wants to be left alone, these attempts have failed. As said by Sean, Magnesite will get her chance when Kuuruko is ready, and shouldn't keep trying to force herself onto Kuuruko anymore.

### Sean McCarthy

Magnesite holds a lot of resentment towards Sean, seeing him as the sole person that has driven a wedge between herself and Kuuruko, and so blaming him for her current loneliness. Sean in return seems to dislike Magnesite, at least to an extent, especially due to her mistreatment of Kuuruko in the past. Magnesite, while no longer as aggressive as she once was, has been seen still acting out towards Sean in tiny ways, such as rudely pushing past him by bumping him out of the way, or simply ignoring him whenever he speaks. Simply put, they don't get along.

### Royal

With Magnesite being the Gem that replaced Royal after his disappearance, they seem to be rather tense around each other, with Royal being jealous that she now holds his former place as an Administrator of the Elementals, and Magnesite worrying that he may try and take his position back from her. As such, from the few times they've interacted, they don't seem to like each other too much.

### Stingy

While she has no problems with Stingy on a personal level, Magnesite hates being around Stingy, no matter how far/close, and upon first seeing her even remarked that 'it's hideous', not even bothering to call Stingy a 'she'. This is because Magnesite sees Stingy as everything that she hates; Corruption. It is the one thing besides death that Magnesite truly fears, and is revolted simply by the sight of Corrupted Gems, like Stingy.

> "*Because... She's my pet. An accessory. Understand? So when she does something bad, that reflects onto me, and I don't exactly like looking like a fool. Isn't that right, Kuuruko...? She resisted at first, sure she did, but once she saw what became of her brother, I understand she became obedient real quick... \*Starting to grin\* She's just a lowly Human. You should count yourself lucky that you're at least half Gem, Sean. Or you'd be just like her... Dirt. \*Throwing Kuuruko into the wall by the wrist\* Her own life doesn't matter now. She's mine. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's all she ever will be. Just look around... You don't see anyone rushing to help her, do you? That's right... Because nobody could care less whether she lived, or died. \*Roughly ruffling Kuuruko's hair, before pulling her head up by hair to look at her\* Aww, you're crying... \*Giving her a smug smile\* Well, I'm not wrong, am I?*"
