# Profile

## Lore

Nephrite is an idol-like twin maid clerk of Jadeite and is her older sister. Both jewel princesses have a jade magatama on their head that matches each other as their accessory.

A graduate of St. Maidens Garden, she is one of the twin maid clerks working at Cat's Eye Special Delivery under customer care. As a secretary, she's in charge of accounts and is a regular participant in business talks and advice.

## Personality

Nephrite can be said to be overprotective of her twin younger sister, though she denies that she's being over-protective, and instead calls it sisterly love. Her frequent mistakes while working worries her younger sister however.

Just like her younger sister, Nephrite is equally grateful to her superior Cat's Eye, for offering her a work she enjoys, and also admires her contributions towards recovering the world from its ashes. As both sisters are Garden graduates, they are entrusted to be bodyguards of Cat's Eye depending on the situation.

She is able to accept working with Tiger's Eye, not seeing her as nosey and annoying like Hawk's Eye.

Citrine is their senior student graduate.

# Mineralogy

**The term jade is applied to two different types of rock, nephrite and jadeite, that are made up of different silicate minerals. Nephrite represents calmness, stability, and mercy.**

Nephrite can be found in a translucent white to very light yellow form which is known in China as mutton fat jade, in an opaque white to very light brown or gray which is known as chicken bone jade, as well as in a variety of green colors. The name nephrite is derived from lapis nephriticus, which in turn is derived from Greek λίθος νεφριτικός; νεφρός λίθος, which means 'kidney stone' and is the Latin and Greek version of the Spanish piedra de ijada (the origin of "jade" and "jadeite"). Accordingly, nephrite jade was once believed to be a cure for kidney stones.

Nephrite is a variety of the calcium, magnesium, and iron-rich amphibole minerals tremolite or actinolite (aggregates of which also make up one form of asbestos). The chemical formula for nephrite is Ca2(Mg, Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2. It is one of two different mineral species called jade.

Both nephrite and jadeite were used by Stone Age and Bronze Age cultures for similar purposes. They are both about as hard as quartz, exceptionally tough, beautifully colored, and can be delicately shaped. Thus for a long time they were thought to be the same type of rock. It was not until the nineteenth century that a French mineralogist determined that "jade" was in fact two different materials.

During the Neolithic era, the key known sources of nephrite jade in China for utilitarian and ceremonial jade items were the now-depleted deposits in the Ningshao area in the Yangtze River Delta (Liangzhu culture, 3400–2250 B.C.E.) and in an area of the Liaoning province in Inner Mongolia (Hongshan culture 4700–2200 B.C.E.). Jade was used to create many utilitarian and ceremonial objects, ranging from indoor decorative items to jade burial suits. It was considered the "imperial gem."
