## Biography

### Emerging, White Diamond, and The Era 1 Ball

Imperial emerged in the Kindergarten six days before the Era 1 Ball.   As she came out of her hole, the first thing she saw was the kindergarten.    However moments after seeing this, a large white hand held out, followed by a voice telling her to come and and onto her hand.

Imperial came out onto the hand and turned to see White Diamond.   Initially startled by Whte, Imperial gasped a bit before White told her to calm down.   She introduced herself as White Diamond and told her that she was making an empire with her younger sisters and told her she was the first Jade and why that mattered was because she was the most important Jade in the galaxy.    And it was through that conversation, Imperial knew she had one thing in mind: be the top gem.

Over the next few days, she would practice and be trained by White to become a proper Jade after emerging.   And after only five days, she was ready.    She was told by White that the following night will be the Era 1 Ball.   She would spend the next day sprucing herself up and making sure she looked perfect to not only be how an aristocratic should be, but be a proper looking gem.

Later that night she would attend the Ball, and she would be infront of all the other Jades in attendance as she was the first Jade to emerge.   That night she looked as regal and confident as White Diamond had taught her.   The Ball of would go pretty well, with Imperial performing her dance perfectly along with the other Jades.    After the ball ended, White Diamond praised Imperial for her perfection, which was what she expected before Imperial went to her living quarters in the White Diamond Living District.   Additionally in the White Diamond Living District, she had one of the bigger quarters in the district.  This was due to the fact White found her important.

### Life in Era 1 and Aristocratic Days

In the following days after Era 1 commenced, Imperial would see all kinds of various new gems emerge, learn their abilities and duties, some begin building the Gem City, and more.  One day while she watched, White told her that this was the Empire she wanted, and said that this will grow to be big.   Imperial, realizing how much White wanted this, told her that she would make sure it happened and that she would do her part in order to make The Great Diamond Authority a significant empire.

Additionally during this time, she would officially begin being an aristocratic assigned by White.  With her Aristocratic Days beginning, she would have many servants and gemlings at her disposal to help her with her daily tasks. Her days would be filled with attending parties, gatherings, meetings, and other events. She would meet many other aristocrats such as Morganite, and Pyrope along each with their own unique personalities and quirks. Some she would get along with while others she would not.

As thousands of years passed, Imperial would be satisfied to see all the progress made to the city, over time saw all the numerous colonizations White, who she saw as a mother figure, alongside Yellow and Blue Diamond made, and everytime there was a successful colonization, the Diamonds’ youngest sibling, Pink, would throw parties for every one.   Imperial would attend the parties.  It was also during these parties she would see how Pink would be.  The most notable instance she saw in Pink was when she released a bunch of Rainbow Caterpillars in the Diamond Ballroom, culminating in calamity, with Imperial jumping onto a chandelier to avoid the calamity below.

It was through these parties that Imperial would see Pink most of the time, believing her to not be a good Diamond as her older siblings were.   However despite these beliefs, White did assume at times Pink could mature.

### Earth Colonization and the War

Another thousand years later, Pink Diamond was made the head of the Earth Colonization.  Imperial mostly saw this as another way for Pink to disappoint yet again, despite her showing some maturity in the millennia leading up to the Earth Colonization.

Imperial would not see much during the Earth Colonization as during the process, White would have her activate some injections for some of the gems White had planned on another planet at the time.   However little did she know was that things were going to change.

One day, over a thousand years into the Earth Colonization, she heard Pink had reported that a group of Rebels led by a Rose Quartz, who were calling themselves “Crystal Gems” were forming on the planet.  Imperial heard some but thought nothing much about it.  That was until a war broke out on Earth.   Imperial was initially shocked but didn’t worry.   She didn’t even seem to mind the situation.  Even when her Crystal Quartz guard wound up getting sent to Earth and a Ruby briefly filled in.

Eventually the war came to an end when Rose Quartz, the leader of the Crystal Gems, shattered Pink Diamond. White, Yellow, and Blue avenged their youngest sister by unleashing a power called, "The Light" which was believed to have annihilated all gems on the planet, with the planet now being believed to be unusable, and nothing more than a wasteland.

Afterwards, Imperial felt it was the right thing to be done.

### Meeting Citrine and Era 2 Days

In the days following the Era 2 Ball/Pink Diamond’s Funeral, she received a new guard in Citrene who was coming over from Yellow Diamond due to the Gem Boom of Era 2.

Imperial informed Citrene that he would have to adapt with the White Diamond Authority as the court was different from Yellow’s.   Citrine did his best to do so, and he was alright at it.   Although there were issues he would have, such as when trying to talk to Imperial, she would tell him to hush.   Additionally Citrene would also be a victim of pranks by an Autunite and White Moonstone.  And whenever he was pranked, Imperial would always tell him off.

During the next five millennia, work as an aristocrat would go on as usual for Imperial. She would still be assigned the same tasks as before, with little change.  However one thing she felt a bit upset about was White, who had hidden herself inside her ship.  Imperial tried to console her, but her attempts proved fruitless during the first few millennia.

### The Era 3 Ball and the Beginning of Era 3

In 2018, things would begin to change.

It all began when Imperial was informed Pink Diamond was alive on Earth and she was returning to Homeworld.   Imperial couldn’t believe the news.   She would later attend the Era 3 Ball that “Pink” would hold.  She was less then impressed when White Pearl said White wouldn’t be present for the Ball.  She would later ultimately witness the choas in the ballroom with fusions being formed, leaving her disgusted and once again having witnessed “Pink” make an embarrassment and fool of “herself”.   After it was all said and done, she was frustrated and disgusted.

Two days later, Citrene told her “Pink Diamond” who was actually her son, Steven Universe, had overthrown the Great Diamond Authority and all gemkind was granted its freedom.

Imperial did not believe it until she saw White for the first time in thousands of years, with White telling her it really was true.   Imperial would later bid farewell to Citrine and he left for Earth.

### Leaving White, Becoming Blue’s Daughter, Name Change and Present Day

A few years into Era 3, Imperial would discover and find out what White had done.  Upon discovering what White had done before Era 3, she became enraged and left White, knowing that the Diamond she saw as a mother figure was a horrible Diamond.  After venting her frustration to Blue Diamond,  Blue offered to make Imperial her daughter.   Surprised by the gesture and seeing how nice Blue was, Imperial agreed.

Imperial would later go to Earth, and become immersed in Earth culture, all the while learning about it, reuniting with the now Dr. Citrene, and other gems who she knew throughout the years at Little Homeworld and Little Homeschool.   Later on in 2022, inspired by an anime series named “Kokora’s Family”,  Imperial changed her name to be Kokora.  She decided to change her name since her aristocratic days were over and wanted to be called something else other than Imperial, and changed her form. Additionally during this time, she met an Ocean Jasper who she began to have some feelings for that eventually snowballed into a crush.

Now under this new name, Kokora decided to live on Earth.  After getting Blue’s approval, Kokora began living her new life on Earth, learning more human and Earth culture while additionally getting a pet tarantula who she named Willow.
