Garden Quartz

## Appearance

Garden Quartz is a rather large gem, standing at nearly seven feet tall in total height. However, she seems to have a build that is unlike other Quartzes, whom are burly and muscular soldiers; rather, she is slim and slightly curvy with delicate features. She has an almond shaped head, the upper half of which is covered by a large cream-colored afro. She has large plump lips and a rounded nose, and wears a light green Greek toga, with a light yellow and white sash, held with a white diamond-shaped pin. The bottoms of the toga are loose and layered, looking similar to flower petals. Garden seems to also have a liking towards jewelry, as she wears golden wrist bands and necklace.

## Personality

Garden is a very calm and collected gem, always remaining level-headed and mellow throughout every situation. Even in times of great turmoil, she acts as though nothing is wrong; this can often work in her advantage, as those who are influenced by anger often make mistakes during combat and other pressing situations. Garden is knowing to be extremely giving and friendly, spending her days healing wounded soldiers, and is glad to give her vast wisdom to anyone who will listen.

It is unknown exactly what Garden's hobbies are, other than the fact that she is almost always found inside of a mysterious flower garden, that is only accessible by a warp pad. She tends to play songs when she senses tension among others, or to pass time.

When confronted by anyone who is particularly rude to her, they are usually met by the dead silence of Garden, who ignores them completely. If she does chose to talk, she speaks in a monotone -and slightly cold- voice that shows no emotion.

## History

Garden Quartz was created a long time ago, thousands of years before the start of the Rebellion, even before the creation of Rose Quartz herself. Gems of her types are renowned healers, known for their extraordinary abilities to heal cracked gemstones, and even heal corruption. For thousands of years, Garden served diligently, until the start of the Gem War, when she was sent to Earth to aid in the upkeep of gem soldiers on the Homeworld side. After her base was raided by Crystal Gem soldiers, she was nearly shattered but was saved by a soldier who threw themselves in front of Garden, giving her enough time to escape. Due to this deed of sacrifice, Garden has since dedicated all of her time to healing every gem that is in need, regardless of their affiliation or danger towards her.

## Abilities

Garden Quartz possesses all standard gem abilities, such as shape-shifting, agelessness, fusion, and weapon summoning. However, Garden possesses multiple unique abilities special to her.

### Skills

* **Weapon Summoning:** Garden Quartz is capable of summoning a "weapon" from her gemstone, that takes the form of a harp. Although it serves no direct offensive usage, the music emitted from her harp is known to soothe and calm people, and even boost the abilities of friendly gems within a 20 foot radius of her. However, the harp is also capable of emitting horrible noise that can due vast amounts of damage to any particular number of people; however, to friendly gems, it will sound silent.

### Unique Abilities

* **Healing:** Garden can restore gems to their optimal health, curing damaged or withered gemstones. Though Garden may potentially heal any form of bodily damage, the patient must be alive, even if hanging by a thin thread, in order to be healed; once the patient has died, it would transcend healing and would require resurrection instead.
* **Florakinesis:** User can create, shape and manipulate flowers, they can cause flowers and parts of the flowers, including petals, stems and pollen, to grow and bloom, move/attack, mutate flowers by rearranging DNA structure, and revive withered or dead flowers.
* **Bubble Shield:** Similar to Rose Quartz, Garden is capable of creating a massive bubble shield around her and her allies. This shield is very durable and capable of surviving in even the harshest of conditions; the bubble is transparent, and a very light green-yellow color.

## Gemology

* Garden Quartz, also known as Lodolite, is a type of Quartz crystal with unique inclusions of many possible colors and types. No stone is ever the same. Often it has the look of gardens, landscapes, or underwater scenes. This is why it is known to offer a view into another world. Gazing into this stone is said to bring about a cosmic shift of consciousness. It harmonizes the higher vibrational energies of the aura, light body or subtle body. Lodolite is a very powerful journeying stone on all levels; cosmic, soul and personal.
* Garden quartz is a powerful grounding stone that is used extensively in healing and meditation work. It is one of the fundamental grounding stones. It is known to be able to establish a clear path to removing negativity by passing it back into the Earth where it can dissipate naturally. It is also used in praying to ancestors, grounding the spirit, and providing an anchor in the natural world.
