Name
Balas Ruby

Appearance:

Gender:
Female

Personality:
Some see her as a 'mother bear' type, and it is easy to see why. She enjoys being active and productive, it is rare to find Balas simply 'doing nothing' when she can be doing something useful or giving aid to another. She has a hands-on nature that make her seems to have a bit of an 'warrior of old' kind of persona. Often laughing and smiling, even in the heat of battle, and does not shy from combat. But when the going gets rough and the danger truly significant, Balas's energetic smile will fade away and she will demonstrate a very focused, deadly serious nature, revealing a much more no-nonsense side of her more similar to a battle commander. She does not tolerate serious threats to her allies lightly and will be the last willing to leave a fight to ensure other have a full chance to retreat.

Bio:
Balas Ruby is a very old 'foot soldier' gem, even by many gem standards. So much so that those of the same type as her are no longer called balas rose but 'Rose Spinel'. Long and faithfully she had been a warrior of the home world, for countless millennia she lived on the Gem's front lines until the stood as a dominate and rarely challenged force in their part of the universe. From there she had been reassigned to security detail on Kindergarten projects. She didn't only think that working as a guard was a waste of her abilities but she didn't like the results of the Kindergarten program. She always had half a mind to do something about it but she was but a single warrior, not a leader or strategist, and didn't believe she was able to convince others to follower her lead. But lucky for her, someone else came along. Rose Quarts.

She gladly joined the crystal gems in defense of this planet, and fought fiercely on their behalf of the crystal gems until, and she can't quite remember how, she was corrupted and became a horrible worm monster, as adult steven explained to her after she had been restored. She was pleased to once more give her skills in service to the earth and the crystal gems.

Other
She really enjoys shiny things, especially red shiny things, and her personal space is often filled with various trinkets of the sort

----EDIT----

@Pietra Oh wow those are Fantastic, I would also gladly commission your take on Balas!

AGHHH! Dang it, someone beat me to a wonderland character!!!!

Crap...back to the drawing board I guess...

-----EDIT-----

Though, if GM and Kinder are willing, my wonderland character could be altered in such a way to be the Ace's maid/bodyguard as I designed her as a maid turned warrior to begin with.
bump for your mother
-waves hand, going oooh! Repadetly so enthusiastically that I nearly knock my desk over- Room for anouther?
Everything happened so fast. Yoyo was waiting eagerly for the announcement of the next fight, fingers crossed it was her and someone interesting. Like that large robot-looking dude, or either of the reptilian beings, or perhaps that unique 6 armed woman (she wondered if she was simply born with the six arms, or was she perhaps using some form of the 'Four Witches Technique'...or even some other shape changing technique, while rare they weren't un heard of. She had studied form-shifting skills while back at home but only in scrolls rather than training. She had wanted to learn some of her schools form altering skills but her father and grand father kept telling her 'she simply wasn't ready nor suited for such techniques' stubborn old goats ) And while lost in this train of thought ting odd seeming bandits leapt from the crowed, exuding a sense of power, skill, and confidence told her instincts they weren't like the weakling show off she had fought earlier.

The next thing she knew they were flying off. With the money. With HER money. She stammered in stunned inaction for a moment as a few of the other tournament goers took up the hunt after the villains. She felt her temper flair and her blood boil as the audacity of those brigands taking her meal tickit filled her mind. With a focus of effort she activated her 'Tigers leap' skill, and with a jump that seemed to onlookers to take the same effort as a simply skip she bounded up into the air and clear out of the arena. She landed on outside, on some poor civilian fleeing the screen, but without so much as a 'sorry' she bounded off again ( and she was fairly sure as she bounded off the person they grunted the word 'POWER' in pain ). Now she was focusing her jump to have maximum forward velocity so it was as if she was running along the ground with each bound taking amazing amounts of distance. She wasn't exactly closing fast on the villians but she could see them and was not losing ground. "I'll teach you to steal from a Tiger!" She called in fury.
I will gladly do A or B!

So a quick FYI, While I have a couple of character concepts in the works for my second character, I would like to see one if not both of your characters first so I don't step on your toes.
