Amethyst (Pearl)

## Appearance

True to the standard Quartz name, Amethyst is a large and burly soldier created for the purpose of battle; her bodily figure of course reflects this. She stands at a rather intimidating 6 foot 7 and weighs around 368 pounds. Amethyst is extremely muscular and nearly every muscle that can be toned and shapely, is. She has long and curly (if not slightly shaggy) light grey hair, grey eyes, a small nose, and plump lips. She wears a light purple tank top with a circular shape cut out of of the chest, so it would reveal her gemstone. In addition, Amethyst also wears tight light purple pants with a belt, with a white diamond as the buckle, signifying Amethyst's loyalties.

## Personality

Little to nothing is known about Amethyst's personality, as she rarely ever talks and seems to not act very independently. However, she seems to of course be capable of proper interaction, as her boyfriend, Maroon Pearl, claims that she has a cold and brooding exterior that opens up to a slightly less cold and a little more loving interior.

## Relationships

### White Diamond

As Amethyst is the general of White Diamond's military forces, she is the one who gets orders directly from her superior, and gives them to her obedient soldiers.

### Maroon Pearl

With Amethysts quiet nature, again little is known about the relationship between the two. However, there are *often* and subtle interactions betwixt them, such as the occasional wink or butt slap; most of which has Maroon Pearl on the receiving end. The two seem to love each other very much, and it has even been rumored that they meet privately in an unknown location, so they can fuse without reprehension.

## Abilities

Amethyst, like other gems, is capable of many standard gem abilities such as superhuman strength, fusion, shapeshifting, and weapon summoning.

### Skillset

* **Disc Proficiency:** Amethyst is capable of summoning dual bladed throwing discs from her gem, which she has mastered the control of over the years. She is capable of throwing the discs with extreme force and precision that is known to completely dissolve a gems material body and kill lesser species.
* **Boxing:** Amethyst seems to be extremely skilled at boxing, and more particularly landing vastly devastating blows to her enemies as well as blocking.

### Unique Abilities

* **Petrifying Gaze:** Amethyst is capable of activating at will, the ability for her gaze into ones eyes, so that they will turn into solid stone. This effect can only be undone with a healing remedy or with manual deactivation by Amethyst herself.

### Fusions

* When fused with Maroon Pearl, they form Dragon's Breath Opal
