Crystal Gem: Larimar Information(WIP)
Backstory: Sodalite was a Librarian, keeping all of Homeworld’s
knowledge and enabling other Gems to access and gain information on whatever
topic they inquired about and Moonstone helped introduce Kindergarten Gems to
the ideals of Homeworld and Gem life.
Both were deeply in love with one another. They secretly fused to become
Larimar often as they felt most complete doing so and this was the form in
which they felt most at peace with themselves. Once this secret was found out
by the Homeworld authorities, they were punished while still in the fusion of
Larimar. As punishment, they took away
Moonstone’s compassion and caring nature while amplifying the cooler, logical
Sodalite’s personality, then twisting it to become as cold as ice. They were
turned into a killing machine to be used for the purpose of quickly wiping out the native species of
planets and enslaving them so they could use the planet for more Kindergartens.
One day, she was travelling to another planet and accidentally ended up on Earth,
where she crashed at such force it ended up giving her amnesia and in a way
interrupted her programming. When she is found by a family on some sort of trip
or vacation, she can only remember her name, Larimar. This family decided to take her in despite her
alien appearance. As a result of her gem physiology and her amnesia, she cannot
shapeshift an internal digestive system to eat. As a result, while she does
have interest in human behaviours and mannerisms, she can’t participate in all
of them, like eating. She also gained the habit of changing clothes. This habit
decreases substantially once Larimar gets her memory back.
Now, I have
yet to still figure out the details of when and how she meets the Crystal Gems
and Steven, but it will come. But I do know she parts with her adoptive family
to stay with them. But she still retains many of her human mannerisms. Eventually
she does get her memory back, and with Steven's help and love, comes to terms with the
bad that she did and aims for redemption by helping out the Crystal Gems and
saving the world. The interruption to her programming is one of the factors
that helped her to ultimately break it. (Her power that she gained from the
tiara/diadem/crown goes back to more normal levels) She ends up becoming more
powerful as a result of this. Pre-amnesia, she may have been
"powerful" but she wasn't complete.
She has had
some nightmares of the atrocities she has committed when in her programmed
state. Sometimes she’ll go into autopilot and even bring out her weapon while
half-asleep. One time she had a nightmare of killing her adoptive family, the
people she cares about and Steven, which is so vivid and violent, she almost
hurt Steven in the process.
