Tetrabor / Boron Carbide and Wolbor / Wolfram Boride, two important characters from this blog’s storyline.
Both are industrial-class Circinian Gems, and the only two of their type, created specifically to fill the role of fusion partners for two ultra-durable Moissanites. Both of them are very small, less than the size of a common Ruby.
They have properties quite unlike that of other Circinian Gems, namely, both are metallic in nature, and borderline impervious to anything you can throw at them. However, besides being nigh-impossible to shatter, they have no abilities of their own, existing only to amplify their respective partner’s powers when fused.
Tetrabor / Tet is the bubbly, happy-go-lucky one of the two. She’s Mossy / Moissanite’s assigned partner. Mossy took to her quickly, and the two have bonded well over time. Their fusion, Lonsdaleite-H, is fully coherent, and the two can easily slip into their fused state on command. Tet is on the naive side, much like Mossy, and has trouble taking things seriously. However, Tet’s kind at heart, to the point they’ve even fostered a duckling as a pet. Tet tends to shy away from larger Gems, but once they get to know someone they’ll climb all over them.
Wolbor / Wol is the reserved, somber one of the two. While Tet and Mossy had gotten along great from the start, Wol’s assigned partner, Roger / Pink Moissanite, outright rejected her at first. Roger had been previously part of a permanent fusion, and he saw his newly assigned fusion partner as an insulting substitution for the partner he had lost. It took several years for Roger and Wol’s fusion, Lonsdaleite-V, to gain any sort of proper coherence. Wol and Roger currently maintain a polite, if cold, work relationship. While she’d never admit it, she’s rather jealous of the warm friendship Tet and Mossy share, since she’s stuck with a grouch.
Both Tet and Wol serve under the court of Gold Diamond / Deepdene, who herself has a peculiar fascination in discovering which gems she can partner together to create powerful utility fusions.
