Name: Red Tiger's Eye Facet 12C7D Cut 5ZF, nicknamed 'Tiger'
Appeared Gender: Female
Appeared Age: Child-like
Gemstone: Her gemstone is a Red Tiger's Eye cut in a vertical and smooth oval shape.
Gemstone Location: Her gem lies on her stomache where her navel would normally be.
Corrupted: No.
Appearance: Short in stature, even with her limb enhancers, she ranges somewhere inbetween Lapis and Peridot. Her hair is scruffy, with tiger markings covering her cheeks and arms. Tiger's eyes are wide with feline pupils, giving her a kitten-like appearance that is sure to make the coldest of hearts warmer. More recently she wears an oversized sweater given to her by Vanadinite, covering most of her except for her limb enhancers. With her orange and red complexion she displays the ferocious colors of a tiger, and with her limb enhancer claws she is more than ready to pounce at any enemy if she feels threatened enough.

Personality: Red Tiger's eye has always been a technician at heart. Not to mention her persona of a nerd that would show whenever science of any kind was involved always persevered. She can be at often times found to be rather blunt and careless despite her most likely having the intelligence to think before her actions. This does not mean that she never plans, as whenever she knows she is going to do something she always plays out the scenario multiple times in her head to be ready of anything she could think of. Now that she is on Earth a bit of her has changed, without any prevalent superiors except for who she may potentially meet she is much less strict with her usual Homeworld rules and laws.
While being sometimes anti-social depending on her mood, whenever Tiger would succeed in making a friend she would remain loyal and dedicated to the person as long as they proved to be geniuine and trustworthy. Tiger being a Homeworld gem also complicates things further when she may encounter rebel gems, to which she has a mixed response with. While she likes to remain loyal to Homeworld she can see things within the movement that she agrees with. Joining the Crystal Gems would be something she'd never consider however, unless something manages to change her and convine her by an infathomable margin. She does fear her superiors finding her one day and she wouldn't want to be meeting them as an enemy either.
Should you manage to frusturate or betray Tiger she could hold a grudge for ages and be extremely vindictive and biased against you. Ofcouse the severity of this depends on what you did, whether you destroyed her technology or fought her friends, or pulled a prank on her. Tiger can also be found to be a bit overzealous when doing really anything, always expecting the best of results from herself. Failure was always met with punishment from her superiors, and since she didn't want to dissapoint them Tiger always put very high requirements on herself to improve and impress.
That being said, she can be quite cautious when facing new gems on the contested planet. She won't always be very welcoming of all gems she comes by but will try her best to make her time on the planet a good time. She is hoping to not stay forever though, for she has other plans of exploring more of the universe and give her space to make inventions.
Likes: Tiger enjoys the company of friends and rational thought. She loves to mess around with technology of sorts to try and come up with something helpful, especially with the primitive resources on Earth. Jokes and friendly behaviour is what she always welcomes as well. Her limb enhancers also carry sentimental value to her, so they are something she doesn't want to get rid off soon.
Dislikes: Tiger dislikes superstition of any kind, especially when it's unpredictable and unmonitorable. Barely having any magic powers of her own she prefers the use of electronics to solve her problems instead of relying of some odd force she has yet to discover. She also has a distate for uneccessary punishment or violence. Hostile gems will naturally go on her mental "do-not-approach" list and she will try to avoid them as much as possible.
Fears: Tiger fears both her own and any of her friends death, also including injuries if they are to the gem. She also fears herself to become "disconnected", lacking all of her technology be it broken or stolen, and not having any gadget or such to help her in her daily life.
Weapon: Naturally she uses the claws of her limb enhancers as weapons, as well as any other modern weaponry. Handheld weapons such as swords and bows are beyond her understanding, and she tries to avoid using them at all time. Her limb enhancers are not part of her and are thus not summonable, so without them she has no natural weapon that she knows of.
Ability 1: Gadgets: Tiger owns her own limb enhancers in order to further increase her height and travelling capabilities. Her boots are capable of giving her flight using anti-gravity technology, and also allows for simple hovering should it require. They have about the same potential power as a plane, though she is capable of controlling the thrust and such only using her mind. She also has her gloves able to cut through most organic, metallic and magic material that she may come across. They are hard to grab things with however and will take them off whenever doing work that requires the more practical use of hands. Tiger also has the knowledge to create other devices for different uses, both for herself and other gems, though with the primitive resources of Earth she is only limited to so much.
Ability 2: Magnetic Aura: Tiger has a natural occuring aura of a magnetic-like force covering and surrounding her that is able to stop or misdirect metal objects from hitting Tiger. The aura is like an invisible bubble covering her, with its size of influence growing or shrinking depending on her emotional state. Naturally, the larger and stronger the impact the harder will it be for the aura to stop. It will be much easier for sharp objects to cut through the protective field, while flat or round objects will have a much less effective time on penetrating it. The aura is affected by emotion, growing larger and stronger the more threatened she feels, whilst shrinking and weakening when she feels safe. Due to its magnetic properties, it has a tendency to mess with electronics around her. In certain cases she is able to manipulate this to her favor by sabotaging or altering a machine, though it's not something she can actively call upon.
Fusions: Tiger is not very keen on fusion due to fearing what might happen. She isn't very knowledgable on the subject either and isn't interested in researching the topic. Joining bodies with other gems feels extra weird to her and thus far she has not encountered anyone she would think about fusing with.
History:
Her life on Earth since arrival has been a bumpy ride. Being essentially surrounded by enemies, and some friends, whilst completely stranded has led to several shifts in behaviour. Now more naturally afraid of any strangers, she tries to avoid gem contact unless accompanied by anyone she trusts. Luckily, she met a gem that she can trust. Vanadinite, a rebel gem, had discovered her one day while Tiger herself was rooting through an old wreckage. Thinking that she was dead for, she quickly accepted her fate to be crushed by Vanadinite's warhammer. Yet things quickly changed as Vanadinite laid down her weapon. Instead, they began talking. Growing slightly accustomed to the rebel gem, the questioning of her loyalties became a heavier weight on her conscience. The Diamonds would kill her if they found out she was friends with a rebel gem.. But maybe she didn't need to fear the Diamonds. Something about Vanadinite's presence made her feel safe and protected, even from the Diamonds. Perhaps she had found a home here on Earth. Now cozied up in a sweater given to her by Vanadinite, she explores the strange planet in an effort to find out more about the odds of the Crystal Gems winning over Homeworld. Perhaps, if the odds are favorable enough.. she will give in and state her new allegiance.

History:
Red Tiger's Eye was a small gem that first saw the light shine once she was created on her Kindergarten. The planet was rich in iron and out from it came different gems, Tiger's Eye, Red Jasper, and Black Hematite. It just so happens that our Tiger would be assigned to working with technology maintenance, something which she eagerly picked up and favored. Her love for everything electronic and mechanical became obvious as she decided to create her very own limb enhancers, proudly walking around at her greater height whilst showing off her different newly acquired abilities.
Being part of the colonization crews, she got to see many of the different systems in the Milky Way. Although she didn't get much time to explore the planets herself, she enjoyed her job and the brief moments of beauty she would get when getting an up-close glimpse of one of the planets. Her life was simple and she liked it just the way it was. Whether it was piloting a ship, repairing a ship, fixing the comms or helping develop new technology she was eager to show her capabilities. When travelling to one of the new colonization areas there was a small error that she could not forsee that had happened. She experienced a magical power of hers, the same powers that she had seen other gems have. While some people could conjure water from thin air and others combust the materials around them she knew that her generation of gems lacked many of the impressive powers that other gems boasted. Yet an occurance would have her deep in the crevaces of a ship, and a sudden explosion from the engine would send several pieces of shrapnel into her and her gem at point blank. This would have ended poorly for her, yet as she opened her eyes she noticed that all the shrapnel had stopped a few inches away from her.
Confused and shocked she attempted to fix the engine to no avail, it was far too late for that. She noticed smaller scraps were still being pushed away from her as she moved. Some sort of magical field was surrounding her, though she herself was too oblivious at the time to realize it. The spaceship shrieked as the engine stopped working, and she knew the spaceship was on route to crash to the nearest celestial body. Panicking, she knew she had to leave the ship, which was by taking an escape pod or just jumping out of the ship. Her crew blamed the explosion on her, and didn't make it easy for her evacuation. After surviving near death by her fellow gems chasing her, she would be able to use her boots in order to fly away from the impending explosion though with a minor crash due to the boots malfunctioning. Presumably the rest of her crew died in the crash, though she tries to not think about it too much.
Meeting a few gems at the Communication Hub that they had crashed next to, the next weeks would be followed with her exploring the new planet with curiousity albeit having much mixed emotions from her gain and loss of friends in such a short span of life, with the added bonus of her life having completely changed from what she was used to.
