Gem: Pearl
Name if your gem goes by a different name: Moonstone. May go by Luna later.
Appearance:
This is what Pearl looks like, disguised as a Moonstone. Her original appearance had lighter colored hair (blonde to platinum blonde) and blue eyes. Her gem is located on the naval. She has a thin, but slightly muscular build. She wears a black top that shows her naval and black pants with boots that allow for easy maneuverability.
Powers:
-Shapeshifting (2 points) -- Like the Crystal Gems' Amethyst, this pearl is able to shape shift into other humanoid beings (like gems and humans), but still have the coloration of her gem and the gem over her naval. While she can hold a form that is not her own for longer than Amethyst could without breaking a sweat, she can't hold it forever.
-Illusions (2 points) -- She can conjure illusions. At the very least, this power allows her to cover what shapeshifting cannot: Her own color scheme and the appearance of her gem. At the most, she can conjure illusions of multiples of herself or an ally, or conjure an illusion of one or two humanoid beings that are not her or her friends. Similar to shapeshifting, she can hold an illusion up for a while, but she can't keep it up forever.
Items:
--She can summon a bow that generates its own arrows from her gem.
--She has a buckler shield and a shortsword as equipment.
Backstory: Pearl was once a servant for a noble gem of the Blue Diamond court. At first, she was like every other gem, quietly obeying orders and doing as she was told. However, her life changed when she saw a Ruby and a Sapphire fuse together, somehow defying what the Sapphire had predicted. After witnessing that event, she started questioning her purpose, her life, her own capabilities, even after they made it back to homeworld. Whenever she could, she soul searched and soon found she had the ability to change shape and create illusions. She kept all of this hidden, and as her capabilities grew, so did her desire to become something more than just a mere tool. She had the desire to serve to the utmost of her abilities. Simply opening doors and holding coats for nobles wasn't going to cut it for her anymore. She could sense she could do more and be more than just that, so that is what she intended to do. When her shapeshifting and her illusions had improved enough, she was able to leave shards, and make them appear as though she had been shattered. It wasn't surprising that the noble didn't seem to care and just simply replaced her with a different Pearl. She then managed to convince others that she was a Moonstone, and nobody had suspected otherwise. She had done her research and knew what was expected of a Moonstone. After going through training/skill assessment, she was able to prove herself and finally got a mission to Earth. She is still determined and looking forward to doing her best. Moonstones are known for being excellent combatants for their adaptability and cunning. They also make very good protectors.
Writing example:
"
Dodge!"
Pearl thought to herself as she jumped out of the way of a giant fist that was aimed for her. She backflipped in mid-air, landing far from her opponent, before she charged once again. This time, instead of running straight ahead, she zigzagged, dodging the missile attacks that were aimed at her, and she managed to jump up the golem's arm. She ducked, bobbed, and weaved with the grace of a ballet dancer, soon reaching the head and destroying the faux gem that controlled the golem, with the short sword she was given. The golem fell, but the battle wasn't over yet. Pearl merely glanced to see that two more golems appeared behind her in the arena. One had fired a fist, but the fist only seemed to pass through her figure, as though she were nothing more than a mirage. Before the golems had even seemed to realize what happened, she had replaced her true self with an illusion, and had taken cover behind one of the obstacles, and fired two arrows at the faux gems.
The test seemed to go on forever, more golems replacing the ones that she had taken out. Just when she thought she had reached her limit and that she was going to fail, she heard the Agate's voice command, "Enough! The Assessment has been completed! Moonstone FA-56, report to the assignment chambers. Moonstone FA-57, report to the Assessment Center," Pearl braced herself mentally as she marched out of the small arena and into the waiting room with the other Moonstones who had completed the test. Of course the Diamonds would want the best of the best when it came to the Moonstones. That was why the test was here. Pearl was pretty sure that if the Diamonds knew that a Pearl was taking this test, they may not be too happy about it.
Soon enough, all of the Moonstones of her group had finished and they were all awaiting for their missions in line...assuming they passed and were good enough to have a mission to begin with. The Agate marched in front of them studying them as though she was reconsidering sending any of them on a mission. Soon she stopped in front of Pearl and Pearl took everything she had to make sure that she didn't show any sign of hesitation, only the stone cold face of a soldier ready for anything. The Agate stated, "You! FA-56. You will be attending the Chromite and her team to Earth, and making sure no harm comes to them. Do you understand?"
"Ma'am! Yes, Ma'am!" Pearl answered the Agate, keeping her joy hidden. She had done it! She had passed the test and she was now able to go on a mission and truly prove herself once again! Not to mention that she was the first to get the mission...that had to say something about how well she did, right? The Agate gave other Moonstones their missions, while the rest, those who were left alone were sent back into training. Once they were dismissed and told to report to their mission leaders, Pearl obeyed. But as she marched, she couldn't help but discreetly smile to herself. Imagine how the Diamonds and the others would react if they heard that a simple Pearl had passed the test! They probably would shatter out of disbelief! ...Ok, that was a bit of an over exaggeration. But still, Pearl was proud of herself and she was motivated to keep on proving to herself that she is capable. That she is strong and intelligent. That she can do anything that she put her mind to.
Hope was going strong within her heart. But she knew better than to get careless. She would only be able to go on the mission, if everyone thought that she was a Moonstone, and not a Pearl.
Anything extra you'd like to add: As much as she would like to experience fusion someday, she is very wary of Fusing with other gems, because fusing might give away that she is not a Moonstone, but a Pearl. So chances of her fusing with another gem is very slim.
