Nephrite Lore + Personality
And her timeline sheet
Nephrite as I mentioned in the mini post is a gremlin without her limb enhancers. When stripped of them, she turns much more feral and aggressive, completely losing her unamused mask that followed her around with the enhancers. The truth is that under the 'capture' of the Crystal Gems, Nephrite was akin to a cornered animal. She lashed out and bit, clawing at any who dared to get too close. It is only when she establishes a tenuous allyship with Steven does Nephrite begin to calm down. From there, Nephrite begrundingly begins to develop respect for not only Steven but the rest of the Crystal Gems. Only after calling White Diamond a self-entitled goober does she truly flip sides and become part of the Crystal Gems, their first fresh member in centuries.
Nephrite never returns to being quietly grumpy and calculating, but that is because she never really was that way. The real, unfilitered Nephrite is loud, angry and not-so-secretly clingy. The 'worse' she treats you, the closer Nephrite feels to you, and her many insults never pack the punch they used to. It is all meaningless fighting for the sake of fighting, because that is essentially her love language. This is most seen in her relationship with the gem she mutually pines for, Sapphire. When Sapphire first invaded the cabin, Nephrite was enraged to say the least. The two would constantly clash, with Nephrite yelling at Sapphire for hours while she would coldly reply or ignore the other. The only real development in their relationship would be when Sapphire pushed through her mental fog and managed to predict that homeworld gems would be coming to Earth. Nephrite was completely caught off guard by this and from there their relationship bloomed. Nephrite and Sapphire still appear to be in the exact same cycle, but the dynamic is born of pure affection now. Each retort and insult doesn't hold any weight, even though from an untrained eye it would seem they hate eachother.
Today, Nephrite teaches meep morps at little homeschool via legos, as Steven introduced her to them when she first settled in and she has been obsessed since. She is a strong member of the CGs B team, and alongside Pumpkin, Sapphire and Bismuth make sure that everything goes smoothly at little homeschool while Steven and the others are away. She is the rabid gremlin chiwawa of the CGs and their most trusted pilot, engineer and lego aficionado.
Next up will be Prasiolite, the machine of brute force and violence. After this I will have finished introducing all the characters for now. The Diamonds have been designed but I plan on introducing them in the future so there is some mystery and hype around em. The Blue Steven Au is almost going to be officially kicking off, and with that will come the dedicated blog and more fun content! I'm thinking of maybe making it one of those ask character blogs that tumblr used to have tons of since it sounds super fun, feel free to share your thoughts on that in the comments. The asks would be outta canon but I still think it could be a lot of fun to have alongside the official story.
Anyone else ever think about Acid Puppy (aka Centipeetle, aka Nephrite) and how she made the conscious choice to make herself small and vulnerable for Steven when she saw him scared and cowering from her full height, and she didn't want him to be afraid, even tho she was obviously so scared and confused too?

NGL, I felt really bad for Nephrite here, especially when her hand turned back into an insect leg right when she was trying to open the door to her ship (which, of course, needs a humanoid handprint to open, so good thing Steven was there to help her out)
I was really struggling to design a dnd oc for a (possible) steven universe campaign but then i stated getting into chappel roan and sketched out Fire Opal in some of her outfits and boom she was complete
2nd drawing shows the gems which make up her fusion (she is incredibly unstable due to two of them denying the third exists!!! slay!!! love!!! icon!!!)
Nephrite, because she’s underrated and I love her 💚
this is actually what rebecca sugar was planning on making steven universe look like but as you can see it went through some changes
