# Profile

## Lore

Black Opal is officially the Seneschal of Knights Carbuncle. This means she's the second-in-command directly under Garnet. However, almost all the tasks that she is supposed to do is handled by her highly-efficient Marshal, Morganite instead while she herself acts like a more lower-ranked member.

As the name suggests, she is a member of the Opal Tribe, but she has decided to abandon her post as the chieftain and left her hometown, in the hope of living as a swordsman.

Black Opal's left eye is corrupted and enchanted, though how she got it and what it exactly does is still unexplained, and she herself refuses to use it. There is however the theory that she has succumbed to some form of corruption similar to Alexandrite. The eye is visible only on her base 6★ illustration.

## Personality

Unlike Garnet, Black Opal is not a very serious person, and is less rigid towards her lower ranked members of the caste. She is passionately involved with members of the order and often tries to put herself in the shoes of an inferior when making decisions.

As for why she chose to 'downgrade' herself in the order, probably has to do with how she wants to understand how a lower-ranked member feels when they interact with their superiors - Black Opal started at the top of Knights Carbuncle.

As a calm and collected vice-commander, her insight, judgment and commanding ability are very flexible, "as if it's origami", quotes Chrysoprase.

However, during on particular combat in her event story where lives are in jeopardy, she has went berserk into a rage. It is probably related to the demonic eye she talked about.

Red Jasper calls her *Opaopa*.

# Mineralogy

*Most desired of all opals, the black opal is the official state gemstone for New South Wales. Black Opal represents creation, vitality and menace.*

Opal is a mineraloid that can form or replace fossils. The resulting fossils, though not of any extra scientific interest, appeal to collectors because of the stones' myriad combinations of beautiful hues. Coloration can range the full spectrum from white to black and almost everything in between.

Black opal is by far the most valuable and appreciated of all opal varieties, especially those from Australia's famous Lightning Ridge. Often, black opal stones will contain aspects of common opal which remain intact throughout production. Typically, common opal is strategically left on the backside of finished black opal stones. The common opal, referred to as 'potch', actually enhances the black opal body tone and accentuates the boisterous vibrancy of other colors that black opal can radiate. It is because of black opal's ability to display such vivid and intense colors that black opal is considered to be the most valuable type of opal available today.

In the Middle Ages, opal was considered a stone that could provide great luck because it was believed to possess all the virtues of each gemstone whose color was represented in the color spectrum of the opal. It was also said to grant invisibility if wrapped in a fresh bay leaf and held in the hand. Following the publication of Sir Walter Scott's Anne of Geierstein in 1829, opal acquired a less auspicious reputation, people began to associate opals with bad luck and death.

The Halley's Comet Opal is the largest uncut black opal in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It is so named because it was unearthed in 1986, a year when Halley's Comet could be seen from Earth. It was found at Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia by the Lunatic Hill Mining Syndicate. It weighs 1,982.5 carats (396.50 g) (13.99 ounces) and is about the size of a man's fist.
