Profile
Lysander
Ebony Lavender Pearl
Could you stop being so horribly loud, please? I'm trying to listen to the Nacre.
Lysander is hardly ever one for the spotlight of conversation. Rather disinterested and aloof, he brands himself as someone who couldn't be bother to find the time for such idle childishness. Hushed words laced with condescension, while she's no epitome of malice, the pearl is far from the friendliest kind. She is as gorgeous as a doll, and cold as porcelaine.

Notes
- Lysander's vc is Kyoko Kirigir!
- She's a massive hoarder and has a knack for collecting shiny, pretty things. Every ribbons and accessories he received in the past - be it from nacres or elites, are all preciously stored inside their gem.
- Very stealthy and careful in movements, she can sneak around and no one would've noticed her.
- Lysander is often ... repulsed by their own reflection in the mirror. He's very insecured about his appearance, especially his grey complexion. And his freckles? Oh they're hideous. Of course, as eras progresses, the socialites have begun to take Lysander's odd complexions as more of an exquisite quirk, than a difference to scrutinize. Still, wounds of the past scarred deep.
- He's quite meticulous about his appearance. After all, that's all he's good for.
- He has a favorite hairbrush that he always uses! The pearl cherishes it dearly, but he doesn't know why. He can't even remember who gave it to him.
Oh you failed? Mmm ... I suppose that's unfortunate.
Personality
Smart-tongued . Insecured . Passive-agressive
An elegant pearl of closed-off demeanor, Lysander rarely speaks until they are spoken to. He is obedient, compliant, and timid towards elites, like a perfect doll they're expected to be. Never to voice their own opinion, never to protest or question. A major suck-up, essentially. But don't take their demure impression for naivete, Lysander is considerably sly. Shrewd, deceitful and cunning, he'd sometimes sweet talk his way into gaining favors and praises.
To other pearls, however, while still polite, Lysander is cold, careful, and judgemental with a subtle tint of condescension; the type to uses the flaws of those lower to soothe their own insecurities. But while they're definitely not the kindest, they are no where the meanest. Lysander can be...sweet, especially once you've gained her trust and worked through her walls of self-doubts. He's not necessarily malicious, either. Could one blame him? Pearl society is one cruel and hostile place; you must learn to survive, be it through one way or another.
Lore Overview
A pretty doll you could hardly miss in a crowd. His form is branded in excessive frills and ruffles, laced with intricate details and threadings. A delicate, elegant but over-the-top appearance that just SCREAMS trophy, more eye-catching than it is practical. Frankly, it looks uncomfortable, but who cares? Their only job is to stand around and look pretty. It doesn't matter whether it's convenient or not, they're not expected to move around much anyhow.
But, their appearance can be deceitful. As much as Lysander tries to be, he's not always elegant. His excessively large skirt makes it difficult to move in, often rendering her clumsy and ... useless. Her singing voice is also rather lacking, and his cut quality? Just slightly above the average. Lysander also emerged with zero coding in any talents whatsoever, aside from one. Combat. The most useless a pearl can have. Bitter and insecured, he grew to always feel small among the more talented, perfect pearls. Most skillsets he picked up were from scratch, and even then? He thinks it'll never be on par as those who were /born/ with it.
One of a Few Dozens
Lysander is a specimen of the Gargoyle Pearl Project, otherwise known as GPP. It was a collaboration between an Olivine and a Nacre dated way back from Era 1, which, at the time, was a rather controversial project. Directed by the brilliant minds of two forsaken misfits, the project's ultimate goal was to challenge the limitation of pearl production and, at the same time stretch the boundaries beyond the border which no gems had yet dared tread; they sought to create combat pearls. An outlandish notion this was. Pearls? *For combat?* The Gempire laughed and mocked. It was a predictable reaction, really. After all, pearls, especially back at these times, were really only ever good as trophy purses. Their sole purpose was to stand around and look pretty. What more do you need? Why lend the dainty, fragile doll a sword when you can give that to a /soldier/ and the result would be ten times more efficient? And yet, passion ultimately proved triumphant over statistics and defied all logics. The Gargoyle Pearl Project, despite all odds, came to be.

Lysander is /abnormally/ durable for a pearl, even among his own kind. His form is built rigidly and is incredibly difficult to poof, gemstone hardness nearly rivalling that of a Topaz. You can throw him against a wall, or kick her repeatdly, and she'd still walk it off fine. If fallen into the wrong hands, he could be more or less the perfect punching bag. Unfortunately, however, they don't have a high pain tolerance.
Sneak and PeakHad Lysander been equipped with more convenient clothing, she would be no where as clumsy or slow. With soundless footsteps and a thing for fading into the background, he's actually quite good at sneaking around! As a Trophy, this skill is more or less useless, save for the occasions of eavesdropping however.
Keen EyesHe has excellent vision and good eyes for detail, which ... for the better or worse, just simply enables more of his perfectionistic mindset. They're able to discern very small things even when standing far away, and further contributed by his observant personality? Nothing really escapes this guy. It's a shame Lysander is too much of a coward to actually do anything with the things he notices.
