NEW GEMSONA: ALMANDINE
“I swear I will protect you, little gem. You can count on Almandine.” Almandine is one of the strongest and most noble gems on Homeworld, having gained a strong reputation since she was one of the soldiers of Homeworld who survive the war for Earth. Like the canon Jasper, she came out of her hole absolutely flawless, the best of all Almandines, so strong and tall. But even though she looks intimidating on the outside, she’s very sweet on the inside, always being respectful to others, even those of lower rank like Pearls. She is rather quiet though, only speaking when she feels she needs to. She loves to train a lot, working out in the gym, and sometimes she likes to relax and read poetry. Speaking of Jasper, Almandine and her tend to clash a lot, but not because Almandine wants to. Jasper and her are very much alike, but Jasper refuses to see her as an equal. She wants to be better than the best, and this causes her to always talk down to Almandine, mocking her for things that don’t really matter. Jasper even goads Almandine into fights sometimes, just to tussle and try to hurt her. Almandine really gets tired of her. Almandine also gets tired of other gems who try to hit on her, as they come off as too abnoxious or arrogant. She always shoves them away when they try to flirt. The only gem Almandine has feelings for is Ice, who she’s known since the war. Almandine was one of the many guards sent to protect the warp pads so Homeworld gems could pass through easily, this led Almandine to see Ice pass by many times moving gem tech here and there. Almandine would see her working so hard and trying to prove herself, which caused her to grow a crush on her. Whenever Ice passed by, Almandine would make an effort of herself to say hi, be very friendly to her, and even help her with heavy equipment. However, poor Almandine could never find the courage to admit that she likes her. She tried many times, even trying to write love letters to her, but she never signed her name on it. Perhaps maybe one day she can find the courage. Almandine’s summoned weapon is a Gladius sword, and her gem power is the ability to coat any object (like for example her Gladius) in fire, making it more powerful. Almandine also has a Russian accent, and has the voice of Zarya from Overwatch. (Ice belongs to @gemcrust, I hope you don’t mind that I drew her.)
