heliodor is obv a warrior gem but shes got a real bad blood knight complex. shes got like a really cheerful demeanor and i dont mean like anime *~cheerful but with a scary side~* she just genuinely is in a good mood like all of the time. it can be intimidating in battle because she’s just laughing like shes playing mini-golf when shes shattering gems left and right. she love to Fight and shes real good at it but she gets bored fighting the same things over and over. thats why she gets so fucking excited when she hears about a pearl fighting in the rebellion because a Pearl fighting ! thats new and exciting. so heliodor gets obsessed with the idea of dueling with pearl to either kill her or be killed by her. thats hte only positive feeling heliodor really has the emotional capacity to understand. to her its the greatest show of respect. when she loses before she poofs she tells pearl to shatter her but naturally pearl doesnt b/c rose and also pearls not a bad person.Â
esperite was a mechanic, similar to an older variant of peridot but more construction focused than operation. thats why her weapon is those sticcky hands, makes it easier to lift large pieces of machinery while her actual arms do the detailed technical work. shes also pretty passionate about her work, likes making things that do great things like spaceships and super computers and shit. she was working on something planetside when some crystal gem rebels attacked, she got seperated from her guards. the cgs argued over what to do with her vis a vis taking her prisoner when she tried to run, and on reflex one of the cgs lashed out at her, cracking her gem. she managed to get away but her form began to distort heavily, until it eventually settled on her normal form-- without her arms. distraught she connected with homeworld troops again and they took her in. but what use does homeworld have for a cracked mechanic? none. when she realized she was going to be ‘decommissioned’ by homeworld, she bailed out again in a panic, ending up back on earth. avoiding homeworld out of necessity and the cgs out of Spite, she went into hiding on earth and did anything she needed to to survive. and she did, until she was eventually corrupted by tthe diamonds song. a very hostile and aggressive gem, her number one concern is self preservation at any cost. shes not above anything and she knows it, so she uses any advantage she can to manipulate and escape from any threat. her weapons arent really good for fighting anyway. shes a coward.
