Profile


Species: Moonstone gem
Pronouns: She/Her
Weapon: None
Skills: She is lithe and quick, which allows her to move through rough and complicated terrain easily. She is also an excellent climber on nearly every surface (mountains, trees, buildings...).
Homeworld Gem Hierarchy placement: Moonstones are the bottom of the social food chain, on the same level as Pearls. They are servants to higher-ranking gems, but unlike Pearls, they're not meant to be seen. They carry out simple chores that other gems aren't bothered with, like material-gathering and sorting and cleaning.
Personality: Moonstone is shy and quiet. She is suspicious of everyone who tries to approach her and avoids crowds when she can. She loves climbing and being higher than other people, so often finds herself in rafters or on rooftops. She loathes having to talk to people she doesn't know (nearly everyone), but isn't assertive enough to brush them off.

Backstory: Moonstone Facet-4M9S Cut-1AD was created on a small unimportant colony under White Diamond's rule that only existed to produce Quartz soldiers and gather and process a rare mineral that was scattered over the planet's surface as dust. Half of the Moonstones there were sent out to search for the minerals, the other half stayed in factories to sort the processed dust into usable and worthless. She worked in both halves for many centuries, during which she grew to resent the planet she was stuck on when she knew Gems had the technology to travel across half the galaxy.
Her lucky break came when the rebellion on Earth started and the soldiers needed support for mundane and time-consuming tasks. She was transported to the Earth colony, but her expectations were shattered when she arrived. Moonstone had hoped she would be given a simple job that would allow her to see the planet and all its life, but instead, she was assigned to a scientist who was researching fusion. She was sent out to battlefields after the fighting was done to collect any shattered or hurt gems that were left behind and bring them to her superior for her to study. During this time Moonstone came face to face with some of the worst horrors the rebellion had to offer: the carnage, the damage, the scientist's experiments with shattered gems.
She considered many times defecting from Homeworld, but Rose Quartz's rebellion terrified her even more than her assignment. She grew to be reclusive and defensive during this time, until she preferred the silence of a battlefield over the presence of other gems.
When she heard her superior talking to herself about the Cluster (in theory only), she fled from the gems she served and spent a small amount of time hiding on Earth, avoiding both Homeworld scouts and the rebellion. Eventually, when the panic from the Diamond's attack happened, she managed to sneak onto a warp pad and flee, only to find herself on another gem-controlled colony. She quickly realized that escaping gems was impossible since warp pads and any other transport would require clearance a gem as low-ranking as her couldn't get. Reluctant as she was to deal with any gems, she started hiding on the colony.
Moonstones were designed to be subtle, nearly invisible, so she had nearly no problem slipping in and out from buildings and avoiding detection. Even when she was spotted by other gems, they never bothered to do more than send her a glare (if she was caught by a drone, it would need her classification, which would be the end for her, but they were, luckily, easy enough to avoid).
Moonstone is still on that colony, searching for a way to get away from any gem influence.

Design notes:
The cloak is not part of her form like the rest of her clothes, so she can be seen without it.
Her hair is white, short and messy.
Her gem is on the back of her head. It is oval and bluish white, with a slight pale rainbow tint.
The colors are better on the digital picture (her sitting/jumping down from the beam)
