Another gem for my oc au; Asterism! One of the off colors.

Asterism technically has nothing wrong with her. She is simply fulfilling her purpose being with the off colors. Pink Diamond originally crafted Asterisms to be helpful…. For rebels. Hear her out! The original concept was for Asterisms to “escort” rebels and off colors that were considered “dangerous” or not worth the trouble of chasing after to a non homeworld controlled planet to live out their days. This way, there would be minimum harm to Homeworld, and Homeworld wouldn’t have to exert recourses on just one or two errant gems. They were kept in service by Blue Diamond, but are very few and far between these days. 

Asterism is supposed to escort the off color group off planet, while keeping away from guards. Most guards don’t listen to Asterisms and just attempt to shatter the gems they’re escorting. They were taking a break to rest, when Lars and Steven came upon their hideout. 

Asterism herself is a bit ditzy and does not know how to stop talking. She is loyal to a fault, and has no idea she could be free if she just tried. Plenty of off colors have tried to get this well meaning gem to think for herself, but she’s never followed them. Lars is the first one she follows, inspired by his sacrifice to learn more about what more she could do for her duty. And, eventually, Lars  and the other off colors help her figure out that she can do what she wants. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks..
