Name: Olivine
Appeared Gender: appears to be female
Appeared Age:
She appears to be somewhere between the ages of 18 and 23. Pinpointing an exact age that best describes her as she seems to have a mix of youthful and mature features.
Gemstone: Olivine
Gemstone Location:
Her gem is located on the nape of her neck. Not hidden at all by her hair it has a cuboid appearance with a refined beautiful cut.
Corrupted: Not in the slightest
Appearance:
Olivine is a youthful looking gem. Her appearance seems to fall into her late teens early twenties; yet, she retains some cherubic facial qualities. She dresses in what appears to be layered clothing that haphazardly conforms to her frame. She can often be see shoe-less and carrying a parasol of all things. The beautiful parasol contradicts her aloof attire and to any battle hardened gem she comes off as weak. To intelligent gems she comes off dumb. To consider Olivine as unassuming is the norm, which to her is exactly what she wants.
As far as proportions go she is deceptively curvy; though, beneath all the layers it may be hard to see. Like most gems her appearance really doesn't matter and she likely fails to notice at all. Her height is roughly 5'3'' and weight is varied depending on how much her ability is directly affecting her.

Personality:
Olivine is rather reserved with those she is unfamiliar and never talks first. She can come off as weak because she shows little ambition to most. However, those gems who are perceptive can see a shrewd intelligence to this silent gem. She opens up to others over time and her true potential can be seen.
Though in earnest her ever present aloof nature never fades. She takes things only as serious as she feels they need to be taken; which, most the time is not much. Where most will take situations on headfirst with all manner of fervor, Olivine hangs back and watches the situation with a smile and narrowed gaze.
If one gets to know her, they will find her aloof-ness is actually her means to savor the world she lives in. She has the purest appreciation for life in all forms and a deep disdain for those who trample on it. She rather let ones actions speak for them so she does much the same. So her inactivity is her way of making the moments of action mean more. Savor the flavors of life is her personal motto.
Likes/Dislikes:
+ sewing
+ listening to others stories
+ exploring the world at her own pace
+ flowers, shells, and all manner of Earth spawns
+ hot days and cold nights.
- moving too quickly
- hates flying
- all things rotten or discarded
- In general she hates wasted potential.
Fears:
She fears the hard decisions. She fears the world crashing around her and being the sole witness to it's events. She fears being abandoned to herself because she doesn't act as others do. She fears the day there is nothing to savor except for her gem being broken.
Weapon:
Olivine's weapon is a simple looking parasol. To most it seems harmless and a mere accessory. A weapon for a weak gem to be sure. However; Olivine has learned to use it to guard herself. She is adapted to protecting herself and others with this strange construct. To those of skill her style could be considered an annoyance as it lacks true form and refinement. However, she does possess considerable skill none the less. A fool's form to be sure; but, a good match for most.
Ability 1:
Olivine can defy gravity by jumping to extreme heights or walk on walls. However; her fear of free falling/ flying often keeps her feet bound to the ground in some means. If she ever does jump she can be seen gripping her parasol for comfort as she descends.
This ability is not innate however; meaning, if unconscious she cannot adjust her descent. So if she is made to fall from a great height while ensnared by a heavy object or unconscious she falls as a normal gem would
Ability 2:
Olivine is able to speak with inanimate objects. This is a peculiar ability as most objects have a low intelligence and are limited to what they can see and hear. Often times it is rather annoying to talk to an object; but, Olivine finds comfort in the fact she can exchange words with a rock if she really needed to talk to someone. Another issue is most objects have no sense of time or individualism so knowledge gained from an object is often cryptic or convoluted. It's a headache to try and obtain any specifics from some of her conversationalists.
History:
On homeworld Olivine didn't fall under any diamond's court. Seen as a weak and useless gem she was often left to her own devices. She showed some promise in combat and was one day hired on as a bodyguard to a low level gem in white diamonds court. Not eager to take on the task Olivine simply shrugged and aimlessly walked behind the other gem with little care. She managed to fend off an assault on her target around the 100th year of duty and her power was finally noticed. Annoyed white diamond's lowers ordered her to continue this duty among blue diamonds court as she attempts to create stability in other gem colonies.
The whole affair sounded tiresome and blue diamonds flying fortress often left her sick to her stomach. Other gems scoffed at her demeanor and didn't see the purpose of Olivine's existence at all. One day by happenstance she got in a tussle with a clearly more motivated gem who actively opposed the diamond's power and fell off blue diamonds floating fortress. She landed safely as gravity was never an issue with her and her gem weapon. But; oddly enough Olivine didn't want to return. There were so many new sights to behold below and the world was a palette of beauty. So Olivine simply wandered away presumed broken at the hands of the other gem.
Eager to see other world's she moved forward beyond the oppressive sight of the diamonds. She caught wind of a rumor of a new colony on a planet called "Earth," and a supposed rebellion. With a shrug she made her way to this planet and like most she found it interesting... interesting enough to stay, and interesting enough to get stuck on. She now simply enjoys the world one moment at a time as the scope of reality fly's by.
Character Arcs:
I hope through interaction with other characters Olivine will find the passion to act rather than react. Her nature doesn't allow her to truly fight for something with all that she is. Her scope is limited and her own potential wasted like the rot she despises. I would love to see her take up a cause under the wing of another and fight for what's right. I would also love to see her find another gem whom tolerates her enough to fuse. She is by no means a unlikable character; but rather, she see's no point to fusion. To her fusion is limiting. She doesn't believe she can savor her own existence when shared with another..
