Boy Blunder

Any gem of the Rose name was sealed away for the crime of the one. Iron Roses, Desert Roses, Inca Rose. But, when deciding the last gem to make in the memory of Pink with her essance, White Diamond decreed that this gem would be called Roselite.

The beastly thing emerged, the only one of its kind. And it would stay that way. Blue Diamond decreed it would hold the weight of their anger and Rose Quartz. Basically, Roselite would be a stand in for everything the diamonds wanted to do to Rose Quartz.

It has been shattered and repaired, beaten, tortured, made a foolish servant - on but a chain and collar and hurt horribly as it served like a Pearl. Anything they could think of, by both Blue and Yellow, but mostly Blue.

Due to the powers of Blue and Yellow, it is permanently crying, and permanently alight with Yellow Diamond's lightning might.

Era three brings it to the Zoo, and other Pink Diamond structures like the Garden, lost and unsure what to with the burden of the memory of the dead but not Pink Diamond. The burden of all the torture they've endured.

There was a time, my dear gems, when every single colony had a gem controlled by White herself. Hand selected to make sure everything was running as intended. Sometimes, they were perfect. Worthy of White diamond's visage. Sometimes, they were defective. A warning as to what happened to those who were outside the purview of the empire. Enjoy the fact you could move yourself instead of just being a puppet.

Upon Earth, as the first Rose Quartz began to emerge, a defective Quartz emerged. Emerging sideways- making her skinny. She was also, literally, off color. Red versus the pink expected from a Rose Quartz. Her gem upon her upper back, rotated sideways as to only see the bevel of it. She was promptly taken into custody and bubbled. She would be shattered when there was more time.

When the rebellion began, and Rose Quartzes began to be rounded up for being wholly defective, she was selected among the hundreds. White saw her as a warning. Cease this at once and only be shattered. Continue and the fate that awaits you be unspeakable.

She became White's watchful eye on Earth.

She was the lense through which White saw the shattering of Pink.

When the final attack was planned, White released her hold on this Rose at the final moment. She was corrupted with the rest.

And healed with the rest.

A fear of one day being taken over again commands this gem. They act as perfect as they can. Not speaking- not even forming a mouth, not stepping out of line, just doing what "higher gems" command of them. They have selected the name "Copper" in this new era. As, Rose Quartzes are gems that are sealed away. No, no. They can't go back to being sealed away, now, can they? Their new name doesn't help, though, other gems do fear they will try to report things to the diamonds or think they are still under White's command. Even in this new era, on Earth. It makes this gem rather lonely.... But that's fine. Whatever keeps them safe.
