## Biography

### Emerging

Ice emerged on Homeworld in one of the Kindergartens under the Gem City under the Blue Diamond Following.

Once he emerged he was rounded up with several other recently-emerged Ices, and were taken by Cobalt guards to meet their commander, who was Mojave Blue Agate.   Ice was then informed and explained about what his occupation by Mojave was, which was to make ice and snow as it is an ability that could be used by Ices, with those abilities to be used to form ice for Larimars to carve ice sculptures from.  After being told this, Mojave and the Cobalts escorted Ice and the other ices up to the Blue Diamond Living District, where they were assigned their rooms to live in, while also being informed that their orientation day would be the following morning.

### Meeting Larimar

The following morning, Ice was awoken alongside his fellow comrades and were told to meet with Mojave.  Mojave informed Ice that today was orientation day.    Ice was then escorted by the Cobalts along with the other Ices to the nearby ice sculpture site, where the Larimars had just arrived to get to work.  Mojave then told the Larimars and the Ices that both gem types were cousins, and that each one had a cousin.

Ice was then paired up with his cousin, a forehead Larimar, where the forehead gem, introduced herself as Larimar.  However being shy and not saying a word, Ice didn’t respond.  He only looked at Larimar and said nothing.  A little bit confused, Larimar then asked Mojave if Ice was mute and couldn’t say anything.  Mojave then explained that Ice was only just recently emerged, so he was probably nervous around strangers and will eventually speak once he was comfortable.

### Workdays and First Interactions

Following that, the two gems started their work day, making ice for the Larimars to carve ice sculptures.  Larimar was surprised at Ice, as he was making ice quickly, which she was happy about because that meant she would have a lot of time to make her sculptures. The duo spent most of the day doing lots of ice sculpting.

After work was done for the day, after going back to The Blue Diamond Living District, Larimar thanked Ice for his hard work and hoped that the next day they will have another great work day, and told her cousin that she would see him tomorrow.  The following day at work, Ice and Larimar resumed their duties and it was during their work, the duo started to have small talk and conversed a little bit about each other, with Ice learning about the culture of Larimars from his cousin.   Ice started to feel more comfortable and started talking more often.   Ice and Larimar certainly enjoyed their bonding with each other as cousins.

### Later years at Work

Three thousand years later, Ice and Larimar continued their work as ice sculptors. As time progressed, Ice and Larimar became closer as cousins.

Following the completion of the ice sculptures, Larimar and Ice were then tasked with escorting the sculptures back to the Diamond living districts, and the ice sculptures were put on display in the Blue Diamond courtyard, where Ice saw the other sculptures the other Larimars made, in which he was astonished.  Larimar told Ice she loved him as her cousin and that she was happy he and her would do their work together.  Ice smiled as he knew he was living a wonderful life.

### Word of Rebels

Two thousand years passed, and the Diamonds began colonizing Earth.  Ice didn’t get to go to Earth but heard the planet was a nice place to colonize.

However things started to take a turn, when Pink Diamond explained that one of her Rose Quartzes had rebelled on her and began to form a rebellion called “The Crystal Gems” to overthrow The Great Diamond Authority, causing nervousness that would turn into a moral panic for gemkind as there was never a rebellion taken to this level.   Ice was among the moral panic with him and other gems in the Blue Diamond Following talking about the rebellion and sharing their rumors and theories about it. In a conversation with Larimar, Ice talked about how he feared that the rebellion would cause gemkind to start thinking of other rebels like the ones on Earth.  Larimar would tell him that everything was going to be okay.  Little did Ice know at the moment that this would the last conversation he would with his cousin for a long time.

### The Disappearance of Larimar

The following morning, it was reported Larimar Facet 384M was missing having been last seen the night before going to her room in the Blue Diamond Living District.  Ice would realize himself that 384M was his cousin, Larimar.  He was devastated that his cousin had disappeared without a trace.

When it was determined that Larimar 384M was not coming back, Ice fell into a state of melancholy.

### Six Millennia Goes By

Later the Crystal Gem leader, Rose Quartz, killed Pink Diamond resulting in her older sisters avenging her death by unleashing a power called, "the Light" which was believed to have annihilated all gems on the planet.  Ice during this time fell into another mood state. This time it was a state of mourning, not knowing if Larimar is still alive or not.   Despite it, he continued work but not without feeling his sadness about Larimar.

Six millennia would pass with his feelings with sadness still flowing through him.  Furthermore Blue Diamond’s constant grieving for Pink Diamond’s death didn’t help.

### Era 3 and Larimar is Alive

However one day on Homeworld, Ice would have a major turnaround in his life.  It all began when he informed all Gemkind had been granted it’s freedom while he was doing some new ice sculptures of the recently returned “Pink Diamond”, to which he was shocked and furthermore when he was told “Pink” was actually her son, Steven.

A few days later he was told gems that were presumably killed in the light on Earth were actually corrupted.  Ice would be discover Larimar was alive and was on Earth.  Overcome with emotion, Ice would warp to Beach City on Earth and he would find Larimar, where they embraced each other for the first time in six thousand years.

### Present Day

Over the next few years, Ice would meet Larimar’s friend Snowflake Obsidian and he became friends with Snowflake.  The three later began selling snowcones during the hot months of the year, and the three began living in a house together.  Ice is currently happy and loving his current life, while despite being a roller coaster, he still enjoys his life to this very day.
