## Zircon

*You may be looking for Zircon the Cat.*
**Zircon the Jerboa** is a member of The Prairie Runners. She is the sister of Beryl the Jerboa.

## Physical Description

A fairly athletically-built jerboa who stands a fair bit over three feet tall, Zircon has a short muzzle with a triangular nose, very long, elliptical ears, and a long, slender tail ending in a tuft of longer fur.

Her fur is primarily boysenberry in color, with a light pink muzzle, inner ears, chest, and stomach. Her hair, which is shoulder-length and rather wavy, is black in color, while her eyes are emerald green in color. The tuft at the end of her tail is also black in color.

Zircon's outfit consists of a vest over a tank top, elbow-length gloves, khaki shorts, and boots.

## Abilities

Unlike her sister, who's powers are more focused around offense, Zircon's crystakinesis is more focused around defense; she is able to manifest diamond-hard crystals around her body for protection, and they are fully controllable. Her crystal armor can become spiked if she needs a way to threaten her opponent, or if they are trying to get too close to her.

Even without her crystalline armor, she is still deceptively sturdy; her muscles, despite being lean, are well-developed. She can take quite a few blows before falling. She can also hit quite hard, especially if she manifests crystals around her fists and feet, but has no reliable way to attack from range; her attacks are also primarily physical.

Being a jerboa, she has very strong legs, and she can jump 7 feet straight into the air; her huge ears are also very keen, and help to regulate her body temperature by releasing excess heat. Her long, thin tail is also semi-prehensile, and she can carry lightweight objects with it.

### Resistances

Zircon has no specific resistances to any Elements or energy-types. She is quite resilient, and, without her powers, can weather minor blows with ease; her crystal armor greatly increases her defensive prowess, however.

### Weaknesses

Zircon has no specific weaknesses to any Elements or energy-types. Her agility and reflexes aren't anything special, and she isn't too adept at dodging.

## Personality

Stern and reserved, Zircon is quite the opposite of her brash sister. She is not one to get angry easily, and is adept at keeping calm in tough situations. When she actually does get angry, she becomes withdrawn and bitter.

Despite her reserved nature, she doesn't mind hanging out with people, and around good friends, she is considerably warmer. Interestingly, she seems to have a hard time detecting sarcasm.
