Any fun facts about Corundum?

A few!

Corundum, before he was a crystal gem, was stationed at the lunar sea spire

Corundum was under White Diamond's court before being transferred to Pink "temporarily".

Corundum and Rose had a garden where they tried to craft unique hybrid plants together.

And just cause some for Chatoyancy and Sonora Sunrise as well!

Chatoyancy, Greg, and Vidalia all play poker every Tuesday.

Yancy never fused with any of the crystal gems before Rose passed. She first fuses with Corundum to fight a tough corrupted gem.

Chatoyancy is the first to fuse with Steven.

Sonora Sunrise stopped fusing with the others when Rose passed on. At first, out of respect. Then, it was just... Hard. Until she almost accidentally fuses with Coral.

Her and Coral's fusion is named Rosarita

Sonora keeps a diary! What's in it is private. No peeking.

All the Crystal Gems from the RACGWOCS au! Decided to keep Corundum but I'm gonna edit his story a bit. His redone bio will be uploaded later. But! All the cgs! Height ref for em really. Corundum is about Pearl height.

Sonora Sunrise - The First - She/Her

Chatoyancy - The Rebel - She/They

Corundum - The Eccentric - He/Him

"I don't want to hear about Pink Diamond anymore."

"Yeah, and I'm sure Pink Diamond would want to be alive!"

New racgwocs au gem - adopted from  DarkLolipop88 on dA (with some edits haha) - Chatoyany! An about her under the cut:

One of four survivors of the war for Earth (along with Rose Quartz, Sonora Sunrise, and a yet undecided gem), Chatoyancy was originally crafted by Blue Diamond (with Yellow’s essence) to humor Pink Diamond’s cries for peace talks with the crystal gems. Her purpose was to go before the crystal gems, and discuss agreeable terms of surrender for the end of the war. Things Homeworld would want if they won. And things the crystal gems would want if, stars forbid, they won. 

Chatoyancys are generally crafted for jobs that Homeworld does not want to waste an entire gem line for, and do odd jobs before being reassigned to other odd jobs. They’re seen as low class, no matter their task. Throw away gems no one really thinks of. 

This Chatoyancy….. Didn’t want her life decided for herself. She didn’t want to go into a war field and be inevitably captured for just doing her job. But, the whispers of her expected convincing to join the other side while she was there…. It kept her away. 

No, Chatoyancy did not fight for Earth, not for Homeworld, not for the crystal gems, not for Rose, not for the Diamonds. 

Chatoyancy fled and looked out for herself. and the small gems the war forgot.

She became a nuisance to both sides. stopping things she saw as wrong or immoral with her smoke creating cherry bombs, tripping gems up with her caltrops, throwing sharpened playing cards, or crafting near perfect shadow clones to distract the enemy and quickly getting away with her shadowy form and lithe figure. She stopped Homeworld from shattering those fighting for their own freedom, and she stopped the crystal gems from kidnapping loyalists to try to sway them to their side. She couldn’t be everywhere of course, always feeling bad she couldn’t do anything for Pink. She always said she was against homeworld but…. Pink was her diamond. The very reason she was alive. Maybe if she had discussed terms of surrender first before fleeing…. Just maybe…

She was her own gem, until the corruption light hit. 

Rose saved who she could in the moment, scooping the survivors close and bracing for impact. She thought she only saved two…. But Chatoyancy’s poofed stone was under her protective shield. Another was saved. 

Chatoyancy wouldn’t listen to any of the survivors for hide nor hare. She was a rebel to the rebels. Refusing to truly join their side, for she hated that Rose had shattered someone. And, it would make all those whispering gems right all those years ago. However, she stayed with them. Her chance of survival with all these corrupted gems was better as a group. Plus, well….. it was company that wouldn’t inevitably rot. 

Chatoyancy is head strong, won’t back down from anything, and challenges ideas Rose had more openly than the others. To Steven, she is the rebellion emo older sister who helps him get away with things the others would never let him do. She encourages him to think for himself, and secretly hopes he will be just as kind, loving, and wonderful as Rose was to her- despite her dissent.

Chatoyany’s gem is on her left palm. 

Chatoyancy uses she/they pronouns.
