Personality: She's stubborn and kind of hot-tempered. She can be friendly when she needs to, but she has very little patience for things. she does sarcastic and mature humor it's her little thing. she has a tendency of pointing out the bad things in people. she's kind of easy going if you get to know her better. She's also extremely protective to anyone!

Likes: music, singing, human life style, Italy, surfing, fashion, missions and fighting, food, sleeping, parties, exploring, reading
Dislikes: being told what she can/cannot do, being wrong, partners, regenerating, bugs, being hassled or harassed
Fears: regenerating, war, being taken away, being hated, having her friend becoming corrupted (this will never happen, it's just kind of a nightmare for her), Claustrophobic, having mistakes on her watch
Weapon: her weapon is an arm shield that covers her entire right arm in very, very strong plates
A specialised ability that you have: Fire daggers and her hair becoming spikey
Ability 1: in dire situations, Sphalerite is temporarily able to conjure up two daggers that are made of fire. that is only to be used in extreme situations because it uses up a lot of her energy and if held long enough it could burn her hands really badly.
Ability 2: whenever Sphalerite becomes threatened or attacked from behind, her hair becomes awfully hard and very spikey. it's can become so sharp it can poke an eye out (and it has before). only when she is calm and relax can her hair go back to normal
History: Sphalerite was fairly young when she was admitted into Rose Quartz's rebellion. She never met Rose directly but she liked what she was fighting for. the war had a tragic effect on her, sure she fought till the end but a lot of gems retreat back into their gems because she wasn't paying enough attention. Right before Sphalerite could celebrate their victory, a homeworld gem got to her and she regenerated. After a few thousand years she wakes up in a forest unknown to her. She decides to head west to see if she can find anything that would help her. along the way she befriends a macaw she named Starburst. Starburst then followed Sphalerite on her journey. Soon she lands in America and finds the Crystal Gems. their were only a handful of them in America so Sphalerite decided that there should be some more help in the other reaches of the world. She then traveled the earth for a long time, helping the humans who were in need of her assistance. she learned a lot of things from them, she loves how they live so much more simpler then gems. She was so intrigued by them she even learned a few languages (Italian, French, English, and Spanish)! what Sphalerite really loved on earth was Europe. she just loved all the culture that derived from there. her heart then settled in Venice, Italy were she is now a part of the European Gems, who are 4 gems (including herself) that are scattered all over Europe to protect the people there. (Fun Fact: out of all the other gems in Europe, Sphalerite only gets along with one. that's practically the only gem in existence that can put up with her)
Out of everything in Italy, Venice is Sphalerite's favorite place. she lives in a bell tower near the canals. in her tower theres a warp pad which she mainly uses to meet up with garnet in the galaxy warp. Whenever there is trouble near the city, she's transforms her feet into a platform for her to surf on and use her bird Starburst as her motor (Starburst has really powerful wings and can carry a good 56 tons!) a lot of people in Italy knows who Sphalerite is but they treat her more like a regular person than a hero. she likes to do what humans do like sleeping and eating because 1. it tastes good and 2. it passes the time. Sometimes late at night she goes to the top of her tower and plays on her accordion a local gave to her long ago. She also likes the human's sense of fashion and tends to change her outfit often. Sphalerite doesn't work well with partners most of the time, she mostly handles things her own way and mostly plans her attacks in battle at the time. (Fun Fact: to me her fighting style would be like "if I miss act like it was on purpose". Example, if she misses a punch she'll then pick herself back on track by landing on her hands and kicking whatever she was fighting.) She protects her city at any and all costs.
Soo, I guess that's it. if you have any questions you are always free to ask!
