## Black Diamond

* Unhooded
* Hooded

**Black Diamond** is an unaligned Gem, and an original character created by GemCrust. She was bought by foreveroof for 50.00 USD.

## Appearance

Black Diamond has light black/dark gray skin, a long, slender build, long, dark gray hair, plump lips, sharp teeth (similar to a vampire), and a short, round nose. Her gemstone is located on her back.

She wears a huge and baggy black robe that obscures her face and reaches to the ground. Under that she wears a gray and dark gray sleeveless bodysuit with balck accents and high heels.

## Personality

Nothing is known about her personality yet.

## History

After Black Diamond was created, she was shunned and exiled when the Diamonds found out about her powers. Her immunity to the other Diamonds' abilities and her refusal to kneel before White Diamond's authority got her not to be allowed into the Authority ranks and furthermore expelled from Homeworld.

She is now in the possession of her own Homeworld, located on a tidally locked planet which orbits a black hole. Most of the Gems under her are, however, black and white.

## Abilities

Black Diamond possesses standard Gem abilities, bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability. She's so powerful her powers trump the other Diamonds' abilities.

### Unique Abilities

* **Light Absorption**: Black Diamond's most notable power is her ability to eat light. This power doesn't harm a Gem's gemstone, but it does leave it in a drained state, making regeneration take longer.
* **Nullification**: Black Diamond can cancel out the powers of all the other three Diamonds.

## Trivia

* She doesn't have a Pearl.
	+ However, GemCrust later made a Pearl for her when she was bought.
