Land of the Lustrous

Bee is an incredibly tall but chubby androgynous Lunarian with rounded, smooth features. Based on depictions of Lunarians so far, they are presumably a light cream colour. They have a large, round nose and short eyebrows. Their eyes are large, wide and framed with small eyelashes, and they have a short, parted bob-cut with two, large, floppy rabbit-like ear appendages growing from both sides of their head.
Bee wears a standard Lunarian outfit consisting of a long, loose skirt with a sash placed on their left shoulder. They wear a large, beaded necklace with bracelets on their wrists and arms. Bee also bears a striking resemblance to Cicada , but according to the latter, they are unrelated.
Much like Cicada, Bee is capable of transforming into a much larger, muscular, intimidating creature for combat scenarios. This form resembles a more humanoid version of the Buddhist depiction of a Snow Lion. They are capable of carrying heavy objects in this form, such as the large fan they wielded during the night raid. The only thing differentiating Bee in this form from Cicada is the large, beaded necklace around their neck.


Land of the Lustrous

Benito has a deep blue color scheme and wears either the winter or summer uniform depending on the season. They also wear the standard black shoes but without gloves or socks.

Manga Spoiler When they start working as a chef, Benitoite has their hair in the same usual style and wears a chef's double breasted jacket. During the Invasion Arc , Benitoite wore a bishop-sleeved shirt that had a large bow with a long bow tail that reached their waist and with wide shorts with flat heeled boots mixed with pants below the shorts. After becoming a lunarian, Benitoite goes back to using cooking attire, they are seen wearing a shirt with medium puffy sleeves and a kitchen apron. As of Chapter 95 , Benitoite has become a Lunarian and therefore has lost their deep blue color. End of spoiler. Personality [ ] They can't say 'no' to people who asked for their help. While they understand Cinnabar's condition, they can't help but feel scared every time Cinnabar is in their room. When Phosphophyllite was believed to have transformed into a slug, they said to Diamond that Phos' current condition made them unable to do anything. Neptunite reminds them that Phos never did anything in the first place, the same thing that Benitoite was thinking but wanted to avoid saying. They seem somewhat timid and insecure about their lack of individuality. Later in the story, they wished to go to the Moon like Phos in order to become special. Character Profiles [ ] Vol. 2: Easily dragged into things. Vol. 5: Cursed with bad luck. Vol. 7: Enjoys cloud-gazing. Also likes play card games at night with the other gems, despite being terrible at them. Vol. 8: The model of common sense. Occasionally grows anxious over an inability to figure out what Neptunite is thinking. Vol. 9: Normal. But that's a valuable trait in this group. Vol. 10: Your average ordinary gem. Vol. 11: Favorite signature dish is dandan noodles (normal spiciness). Story [ ] They lead Phosphophyllite to Cinnabar's room, who stays outside and patrols the beach at night, avoiding the other Gems because of the poison that their body secretes. They joined the other Gems pulling out the shell (Admirabilis shell) from the pond, collecting Phosphophyllite's fragments, and searching for him when he was lost in the sea (Betrayed by Ventricosus). They joined the winter hibernation like the other Gems since they cannot function well with the lack of sunlight. They and the other Gems collected " Shiro " parts together, only to have it reform into the full-sized Shiro when they have gathered 107 of them. When three sunspots were spotted together at the same time, Benitoite, Diamond, and Yellow Diamond, handled one together. After getting distracted by the diamond siblings good-humored teasing, they accidentally strike the lunarian vessel, causing the plan to lead the vessel to Sensei to fail. They had eagerly bombarded Phos with questions upon their return from the moon. They became interested about the Moon, therefore becoming one of the candidates for Phos to take back. They accompany Phos (and the other games) back to the Moon. Benito is asked by Alexandrite to help control them once Alexandrite's condition (Which is when seeing lunarians, Alexandrite turns red and loses control of themselves) is removed, much to Benito's dismay. They actively argue against such a thing. 220 years later, Benito is seen being a host at a cafe that Alexandrite runs on the moon, serving the lunarians. They are dragged into attacking the Earth Gems by Alexandrite in order to control Alexandrite. However, upon getting to Earth, Alexandrite faints upon seeing the Lunarians, rendering Benitoite's job useless. They point out that the "new Gem" approaching the ship is actually Bort themselves. Alexandrite wakes up after Bort and Dia's fight, dragging Benitoite along as they have entered their red form state, smashing most of the Earth Gems, Benitoite loses control, eventually telling Neptunite to run before their head is smashed by Alex's as it tears off. It's presumed they were restored along with the other Gems in Chapter 95 and turned into a Lunarian but this has not been confirmed. Relationships [ ] Phosphophyllite [ ] They agreed with most of the Gems in that the former Phosphophyllite never did anything useful, although wanted to avoid saying it out loud. They look annoyed when Phos nags them, but will still answer/help them anyway. They become more interested in Phos and what they have to say upon Phos's return from the Moon, and eventually go with Phos to the Moon. Neptunite [ ] Although they are partners, it's not very clear as to how well they get along. Benito thinks that Neptunite is weird and sometimes has a difficult time reading them. They later reveal to Phos that they want to be away from Neptunite (and go to the Moon) in order to feel special and not bland. This reveals that there is some tension between them, although it's not known if Neptunite is aware of this. Cinnabar [ ] Benitioite sleeps the room next to Cinnabar's. Because of Cinnabar's poison, however, they were always uneasy with them around. Sensei [ ] Like how other Gems treated each other, it can be assumed that Benitoite has nice relationship with their other siblings and also likes and trusts their sensei .

Land of the Lustrous

Bort has a black color scheme and wears the standard winter or summer uniform depending on the season. They also wear long black gloves and black thigh-high socks.
Unlike the other gems, Bort's hair is not translucent. Their hair is very long, sweeping the floor or waving in the air when they move. Their hair appears to be two-toned, black on the outside and dark brown on the inside. They tie it before going to sleep.

Manga Spoiler From Chapter 71 onward in the manga, Bort got their hair cut by Kongō into a pixie hairstyle due to Cinnabar's mercury covering them. The leftover hair is presumably turned into their new weapon: a whip. As of Chapter 95 , Bort has become a Lunarian and therefore has lost their unique black color. End of spoiler. Personality [ ] They excel at battles and are obsessed with combat, to the point that when Phosphophyllite becomes stronger by gaining gold alloy arms, Bort tries to cut their alloy to see what it does despite the danger to Phos' health. Bort is an efficient and analytic fighter, often pointing out the flaws in the other Gems in a blunt and straightforward manner. This causes them to be seen as cold and scary to the other Gems but also causes Bort to be respected and looked up to as a reliable Gem. Whenever Bort engages The Lunarians , the other Gems become instantly relieved. Despite their harsh personality, Bort does have a softer side, in rare moments displaying a sense of humor and a reluctance to hit cute things. They have also shown care and concern for their siblings, or at the least does a good job looking out for all of them. Despite being scornful of Phos, Bort was among those who searched the hardest for them when they became lost at sea showing they do care to some degree. Character Profiles [ ] Vol. 2: Second only to Sensei in strength. Battle freak. Vol. 3: Not interested in anything but battle. Vol. 4: Talks a lot when it's about battle, so may actually just be a battle geek. Vol. 5: A battle geek. Recently discovered to have a taste for correcting others' battle styles. Vol. 6: A battle geek. Secretly takes pleasure in going to the pond to set a new record for "number of jellyfish wrapped in a gem's hair". Vol. 7: Enjoys analyzing everyone's battle quirks, and likes jellyfish. Has fairly varied interests. Vol. 9: Feels the pressure of needing to be strong both physically and mentally. Vol. 10: Is capable of making decisions on what to believe without others' input. Vol. 11: Still the same on the inside. Story [ ] They saved Diamond and Phosphophyllite from The Lunarian attack. They are then seen yelling at Diamond for being so reckless and using a dangerous fighting style. Bort and Diamond fought the mysterious shell slug The Lunarians released. Bort's hair is partially corroded from the slug's corrosive properties. They hear the knocking from Phos on the shell, therefor finding the weak point and break its shell. They joined the other Gems pulling out the shell from the pond, collecting Phosphophyllite's fragments, and searched for them when they were lost in the sea. They joined the winter hibernation like the other Gems. They asked Phos to be their partner and fight Shiro . They and Phos then fled to the school and kept fighting it with Alex. Bort and the other Gems then collected all of Shiro's parts. Bort partnered with Zircon for some time and have practiced fighting together. When three sunspots spots appeared together at the same time, Bort and Zircon handled one together, trying to lead the vessel toward Sensei. They are also aware of Phos' actions, searching for Antarcticite 's fragments on Lunarians new models. Bort rescued Phos, Sphene , Peridot , and Cairngorm from a new model containing game pieces that stole pieces of the Gems. Bort and Zircon discover a model of the Doctor , dropped off by the Lunarians. Bort asks for Phos's opinion when Phos arrives at the scene. Bort destroys the ship that Phos returns from the Moon on. Bort is never seen approached by Phos to be asked to go to the Moon. They remain on Earth. They are seen in the lead chasing the Lunarian ship which takes the Gems to the Moon. Bort travels far into the sea to chase after them and has to be recovered by Sensei. They are the first to speak up against Sensei telling them to cast him aside, telling him that Phos is a coward and the other Gems who remained are not like Phos. They drag Cinnabar to include them with the other Gems, eventually becoming partners with them. Bort battles against Phos upon Phos's second return. Bort is overtaken in battle by Phos, and is damaged by Cinnabar's mercury when Cinnabar attempts to help Bort. Their signature long hair has to be cut in order to replace pieces that are too far damaged to repair from the mercury. They shatter Phos twice upon Phos's third return with their new weapon: a whip. They speak up against Euclase 's idea to allow Phos to speak again, saying that Phos's charisma created the trouble in the first place. They assist in hiding and scattering the pieces of Phos. They chase Phos after Phos awakens after 200+ years. They celebrate Sensei's "birthday" before witnessing the return of the Lunarians and Phos. They prepare to fight, changing into their winter uniform and getting their weapon. They face off with Dia, who challenges Bort to a fight despite Bort's reluctance. Bort fights Dia, and they then proceed to exchange blows. Dia is about to land a perfect hit on Bort, but they hesitate. This causes Bort to land one hit with their whip which shatters Dia along with them. The fight ends in a draw. Their shattered body was taken to the moon. And per Euclase's decision, they were restored as a Lunarian, along with most of their gem comrades. On the moon, Bort can be seen taking care of the jellyfishes in their own secluded room. They bluntly denied Diamond's request to have the former diamond-class gems reconvene after the latter barged into their room. Relationships [ ] Phosphophyllite [ ] At the beginning of the story, Bort looks down on the weaker Phosphophyllite , stating that it would be pointless to help them and that Phos would be better off as dust or gone. It is unknown if they were simply harshly joking or not. Nevertheless, Bort did help Phos in their own way. When Phos became stronger, Bort immediately saw their potential and wanted them to be partners. Bort displays more respect to Phos during that time, speaking in a less harsh but still blunt and straightforward manner. However, their view of Phos diminishes with Phos going to the Moon and returning, seeing Phos as a villainous figure now. Diamond [ ] Bort was partnered with Diamond for a long time before Phos, and they both have a deep relationship. Despite both being diamond-class Gems, and despite Diamond being the older one, Bort is stronger, tougher, and a better fighter. Not only that Bort also often becomes angry and scolds Diamond for their reckless battle style, considering them a hindrance when fighting. This has caused Diamond to feel jealous of their younger sibling, wishing that they could be on par with Bort. Nonetheless, they both care very much for each other. When Phos became stronger and replaced Diamond as Bort's partner, they were able to see view each other from a distance and realize how much they meant to each other. Around that time, Diamond was attacked by a new type of Lunarian using Bort to search frantically for them. When Bort saw Diamond fighting and receiving a lot of damage, they cried out "Nii-chan" (兄ちゃん/older brother) in alarm, the first time they were shown referring to Diamond in this manner. However, their relationship deteriorates later on as Diamond departs for the Moon. And when they finally reconvene for their last battle on Earth, Bort saw how much Diamond has changed, and gave them a word of acknowledgement with a smile before being shattered. After being restored as a Lunarian on the moon, they can be seen replying curtly to Diamond's request, suggesting they may be holding some form of contempt for their sibling, or they were simply dissatisfied with the changes in their way of life. Zircon [ ] The other Gems think highly about Bort's strength to the point where they become relieved whenever Bort fights the Lunarians. Bort's strength and harsh attitude often make certain Gems scared of them. After being paired with Bort, Phos recommended to Kongo that everyone should pair with Bort at least once to gain experience. Zircon was the first to do so, and they were struck with awe to the point of extreme nervousness. Zircon thanked Bort with extreme formality for the opportunity both before and after their first day together. Bort had not said a word to Zircon during this day, causing Zircon self-doubt. After consulting with Phos, Zircon learned to accept Bort's advice. Bort tells Zircon that they fight too recklessly in order to protect Yellow Diamond (Zircon's normal partner) and wants them to change their fighting style by relying on themselves. After becoming more comfortable around Bort, Zircon attacks them with a comb and hair brush because they think their hair is too dirty. (Diamonds tend to attract dust) Cinnabar [ ] Bort doesn't mention Cinnabar until Phos has taken other Gems with them to the Moon, in which they are the first to ask what Cinnabar was going to say rather than be forgotten as usual. They work more together, although the fight against Phos leads to Cinna's mercury causing damage to Bort's body and hair, leading to them having to lose their long hair. Cinna displays guilt but Bort reassures them that they don't believe Cinna is responsible for it, as Cinna was only trying to protect Bort and the other Gems. From there, they appear to work closely together and Bort attempts to make sure that Cinna is included now. They seem to form a mutual understanding for each other. Bort seems to be still protective of them, although Cinna wants to help Bort. Gem Info [ ] Mineral: Diamond Chemistry: C Color: Black Bort or boart is a term used to describe dark, imperfectly formed diamonds of varying levels of opacity. Bort crystals contain too many impurities or inclusions and are not suitable for use as gems or jewelry. Instead, bort is used for industrial purposes as tools for piercing, grating, or cutting other materials. The lowest grade, "crushing bort", is crushed by steel mortars and used to make industrial-grade abrasive grits. Small bort crystals are used in drill bits. rough bort Trivia [ ] Bort's personality and skills reflect the real-life gemstone, brash and harsh as opposed to being sweet, and useful for practical purposes rather than merely as nice-looking jewelry. It's possible that Bort's actual gemstone is carbonado. Bort tends to be a common lower grade diamond (and slightly less hard than regular diamonds), while carbonados are one of the toughest diamond variety. Carbonado is also used in cutting tools, but is a polycrystalline diamond made of three allotropes of carbon: diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon. Rather than a solid specimen, carbonado is made up of smaller specimens and have much of the properties similar to Bort's. Scientists haven't figured out how carbonado is made on earth, and some theories suggest that it's extraterrestrial. Bort's name in the Brazillian Portuguese translation is Carbonado, probably duo to Bort's description fitting that gem more. Bort seems to have "Adorabities", seen by them cracking when seeing a Shiro Puppy. Gallery [ ] Bort as seen in the 2013 Volume 1 Promotional Video.

Land of the Lustrous

When Cairngorm was first introduced, their "skin" was pitch-black and it remained exposed for some time in order to better feed on sunlight due to their inclusions being fickle. However, shortly after, they applied powder to their skin much like the other Gems. They wore a winter duty uniform with juliet sleeves, bobby socks, and a pair of black tassel loafers. They have a very short haircut that was noted to resemble Antarcticite's , though Cairngorm's is more tame and combed to the opposite side. While not very noticeable, Cairn is slightly smaller than the other gems.
Their weapon was the same scythe that had belonged to Ghost Quartz. When they took on Winter Duty, they began utilizing an ice saw similar to Antarcticite's.
After Cairngorm arriving on the moon, Aechmea removes the remaining pieces of Ghost on their eyes, truly becoming themselves according to Aechmea. After this change, Cairngorm removes their powder again, returning the black skin they normally have.
Their clothing then changes away from the standard Gem uniforms to clothing designed by Lunarians that often shows a lot of "skin" and are often cute that are usually worn with high platformed shoes. Aechmea remarks that he didn't believe that Cairngorm would choose these ones as Gems don't have any concept of sensual things.
As of Chapter 95 , "Cairngorm", now named Werregat has become a Lunarian and therefore has lost their unique pitch-black color.

Ghost Quartz described them as "rude, violent, selfish" as well as annoying. Ghost claims that Cairngorm was in control of their body when they recklessly climbed onto a sunspot cloud and almost got taken by The Lunarians. They seem to be very tough and strict. When they lost Ghost Quartz , they were infuriated and blamed it on Phosphophyllite , punching them several times and causing them to repeatedly need fixing from Rutile. At first, they acted harshly towards Phos. But they began to soften towards the other Gem after Phos had a breakdown and had confused Cairngorm for Antarcticite .
A few chapters into their introduction, Cairngorm began to act much kinder and gentle towards Phos and has become rather protective of them. When Phos lost their head to the Lunarians, Cairngorm even offered the head of their former partner, Lapis Lazuli, to Phos. When Kongo seemed unsure of this, Cairngorm even began to offer their own head to Phos. However, during Phos's 102 year long rest period, Cairngorm reveals to Aechmea that they wished to be crushed by the ice floes into nothingness and cease existing, revealing that Cairngorm had suicidal thoughts.
After Aechmea reveals that reviving the lower hardness Gems would not be feasible, Cairngorm offered to have a synthetic outer layer attached to disguise themselves as Antarcticite to calm Phos' trauma. Aechmea questioned Cairngorm's dedication to Phos and upon examining the Gem closely, he discovered that their eyes still contained traces of Ghost Quartz which was affecting Cairngorm's behavior. He told Cairngorm to wait there while he got his tools if they wanted him to fix them. Cairngorm wanted to wait and be free, but the remnants of Ghost tried to force them to leave and remain under Ghost's influence, and the struggle caused Cairngorm to break apart. Seeing this, Aechmea understood that Cairngorm wanted Ghost Quartz removed from their eyes.
With Ghost Quartz's influence removed, Cairngorm's behavior changes drastically. They begin to act more emotional and eventually vapid, often fawning over Aechmea and clinging to him every opportunity they get. They show very little affection for Phos or even Lapis, claiming those feelings were the result of Ghost's influence. Cairngorm even rejects their own name, mirroring Aechmea and going by "Princess" instead.

Land of the Lustrous

On the Moon, Cicada is a hulking person with a wide upper body. He is much taller and larger than normal Lunarians. He has thick, short eyebrows, short hair, and rounded features. Like other Lunarians, he has small rabbit ears on his head.
When on the planet in combat, Cicada takes on drastically different appearance of a much larger, intimidating creature resembling a demon or ogre in Western cultures, but actually more resembles a more humanized version of a Snow Lion in Buddhist depictions. Whereas before, he appears more round and soft, in this form he appears well-toned and very muscular. He wields a vajra , a type of club that symbolizes the indestructibility of diamond and the unstoppability of lightning. While in this form, Cicada proves to be a very dangerous threat to the Gems, holding his own against even Bort .

Cicada has a soft personality; he is very friendly, behave in an upbeat manner, and worries about the well-being of others a lot. Unlike most Lunarians, who have been shown treating Gems in an objectified manner, Cicada shows Phos kindness and concern.
He is somewhat unintelligent and clumsy though, making slips of the tongue and not being able to explain how things work. When he first met Phosphophyllite, he was unable to remember and speak their name. He later accidentally reveals Prince Aechmea 's name to Phos, causing him to immediately cover his own mouth in surprise.


Land of the Lustrous

They have a red color scheme and wear the winter uniform year-round due to not wanting to dirty new clothes. They wear black oxfords and sometimes black gloves when touching something, but no socks. They have a medium length, asymmetrical haircut with a longer section that hangs in front of their face. They have a cowlick in the anime.

Manga Spoiler On Kongō's "birthday" commemoration party, Cinnabar wears a long frizzy dress with a bow on the neck area, a crown of flowers, is barefeet and has beads on their ankle. After becoming a lunarian, Cinnabar in their florist attire is seen styling their hair in a bun, wearing a pair of pants, long boots, a shirt with long sleeves and a dirty apron. In the practice party they wear a fancy looking gown made of translucent fabric with puffy long sleeves and collar made of the same material, a flower on the chest, and has their hair down. Cinnabar is also seen wearing a simple dress with fabric covering their arms and hands, acting like long gloves, and has their hair down. As of Chapter 95 , Cinnabar has become a Lunarian and therefore has lost their unique red color. End of spoiler. Personality [ ] Cinnabar is gloomy and hates themself for dirtying the things around them with their poison, though they are outwardly aggressive and dispassionate towards others. According to Kongō , Cinnabar is far too wise and too kind to be alone. Although they try not to show it, they have a tiny sliver of hope that Phos will be able to fulfill their promise. They are depicted as being intelligent and mindful of things, able to provide Phos with some information they needed for their encyclopedia. Cinnabar also seems to have a form of social anxiety, as in Chapter 65, they have a hard time talking to Kongō as well as their fellow gems. When encountering Phos each time, they seem doubtful of their words and outwardly annoyed with them, even going so far as to run away at one point. But they are the only gem they regularly speak to, with even Diamond only coming by sporadically. After the 220-year time skip, Cinnabar is shown to be much happier and returned to live at the school, though they still find it difficult to talk with others. They seem to have a close bond with Bort. Abilities [ ] Cinnabar is able to pull out mercury from them to use for different reasons, mainly for battle. The mercury seems to be abundant and a constant supply of it is available to them. They are able to manipulate it in the air and from a distance, and some small droplets of it constantly hover around Cinnabar. They seem to not be in complete control of the mercury, and sometimes release it without wanting to. The mercury also allows them to stay up during the night due to its reflective properties shining light. The mercury is called "liquid poison" by the other characters within the series. It's known to damage both organic life and the Gems. Often with spills, the area becomes inhabitable for a long time afterwards, often looking dead after later observation. In terms of the Gems, the mercury is known to damage surfaces it is exposed to and causes light to be blocked from reaching those parts, requiring the pieces to be removed. Current known Gems who have been damaged by their mercury are: Phosphophyllite , Bort , and Padparadscha . Character Profiles [ ] Vol. 2: Lives in isolation so as not to infect others with venom.

Vol. 11: Is happy about a thing that happened. Vol. 12: Sees the whole picture. Story [ ] Cinnabar is a talented fighter but their body's poisons cause life around them to die. A long time ago, Kongō wanted them to accept their condition and simply be content with living, but Cinnabar insisted on contributing and doing a job. They came up with the idea of patrolling the land at night where they would not disturb anyone else. Not wanting to reject Cinnabar's own idea, Kongō agreed to the plan. He once explained this situation to Phos and apologized for still being unable to find a solution to Cinnabar's condition. Cinnabar plays a major part in the story as a driving force for Phosphophyllite's actions. They both meet directly for the first time when Cinnabar protects Phos from a surprise attack by the Lunarians. During this time, Cinnabar reveals the shame they feel at their body and wishes the Lunarians would take them away. Phos promises to find them a fun job that only they can do. While Cinnabar does not usually play a direct role in the events of the story afterward, they do act as an insightful advisor and consultant for Phos as well as the other Gems. When Phos was believed to have turned into a slug, Diamond seeks Cinnabar's advice on how to turn them back. Cinnabar did not believe Diamond and says that the slug they carry is just an ordinary slug. They further explain that those types of animals eat rocks and minerals to build their own shells, thus indirectly helping Diamond realize that Phos was in fact incorporated into the slug's shell. After Phos was brought back from the sea, they washed up on shore close to Cinnabar's cave and they took Phos back to the school. When Shiro attacked the school and was split into copies, one of them was found along with Bort's shoes by Cinnabar. Phos took them back, as well as told Cinnabar about their suspicions that Kongō is somehow related to the Lunarians. Cinnabar reveals that they were already aware of that and everyone else was also aware. While the other Gems have chosen to believe in Kongō no matter what, Cinnabar has not quite made up their mind yet. Later, Phos claims to have found Cinnabar a new job helping them find out the truth about Kongō. Cinnabar berates Phos because they promised a fun job that they would like. Phos admits this job is not fun at all, but would still like Cinnabar to help because it is a job that only they can do. Cinnabar asks what Phos would do if they found out a horrible truth about Kongō, to which Phos cannot answer, causing Cinnabar to doubt the other Gem. Phos praises them for their judgment and says that that is the quality that makes them suitable for the job. They leave but promise to come back again to once more attempt to recruit Cinnabar. The following article contain spoilers for non manga readers After Phos loses their head and gains Lapis's, they eventually approach Cinnabar once again to ask about the Admirabilis and memories they lost. Cinnabar informs them that Cinna only found Phos on the beach, and only informed Kongō as to what happened in the sea. Cinnabar notices differences in Phos's personality, connecting it to Lapis. Cinnabar doesn't go to the Moon with Phos and remains behind with the other Gems. They protect the School beside Bort during Phos's second return, and end up being damaged by Padparadscha during the fight. However, their mercury ends up on Bort and Padparadscha. This causes Bort to lose most of their hair, which Cinnabar apologizes for. Bort and Cinnabar are partners from this point. Cinnabar is present when Bort attacks Phos upon Phos's third return to Earth, remarking that they should keep Phos's pieces far away enough that Phos will be unable to get them. They suggest this again when Phos is shattered a second time in front of all the Gems and Kongō, and to be hidden and scattered by different Gems so that the Lunarians are unable to retrieve Phos. This goes against Euclase's wishes, who wants Phos to be able to speak and explain what's happening, which ultimately gets ignored as the other Gems agree to Cinnabar's plan. Although Cinnabar doesn't participate in attacking Phos when they are reassembled 220 years later, it's revealed in Phos's escape that Cinnabar had kept the writing pad that Phos was supposed to use for the encyclopedia all this time. Cinnabar is asked if they think Diamond is alright, since they are around the same age, to which Cinna remarks that Dia is probably doing better than they should be. Cinnabar joins the team to assist with the ice floes, but doesn't break them. New Morganite remarks that Cinnabar should cheer the other Gems on if they don't want to just stand there. Cinnabar shows hesitance before shouting encouragement to the others, to which the other Gems cheer back. Cinnabar is shown smiling and Kongō remarks that is a blessing to see Cinna happy for once. Cinna quickly falls back into their pessimism at his statement, stating that they wished Antarcticite was still around. Cinnabar sleeps for the first time in centuries within the School. They are given a box to sleep in that would allow them to as well as control their poison. After celebrating Kongō's "birthday", Cinna witnesses the arrival of Lunarians and Phos. They quickly change into their winter uniform along with the other Gems and are told to protect Kongō, although they attempt to help Bort. They are tasked with guarding Kongō, and eventually face off against Phos as Phos beats Jade. Cinnabar ends up the last wall of defense before Phos can reach Kongō. Phos attempts to manipulate Cinnabar's self esteem in order to win, which proves to be useless. They both fight using their liquid metal, resulting in them both shattering but ultimately Phos defeats Cinnabar. Cinnabar thanks Phos for following through with Phos' promise of getting them to be with the other Gems. Cinnabar is then shattered, with their liquid metal now merging as one with Phos' being. Following Euclase's decision, they were restored as a Lunarian on the moon, along with most of the gems. On there, they took up a job as a florist due to their joy of being able to touch delicate flowers without tarnishing them. They were seen attending the party on the moon. Before the party starts, they went out to the balcony to gaze at the Earth, reminiscing with Jade about the Earth and Phosphophyllite. Cinnabar then returns to the party shortly after. After the completion of Phos' divine conversion, they were present alongside all other Lunarians on their final trip back to the Earth, and were then prayed away by Phos into nothingness along with every remnants of humanity. Relationships [ ] Benitoite [ ] Whose room is beside theirs, says they can't relax near them. Generally, the Gems all know that they tend to not bother others, but their own existence itself is harmful so they can't help but avoid them. Diamond [ ] Dia is friendly to Cinnabar as they were born in the same year and also because of their personality; they can see what Cinnabar means between words, much to their annoyance. Diamond says that Cinnabar's comment about Phos is more than what they said in the last century. To Cinnabar, Diamond is kind of weird. Bort [ ] Once Phos and the other gems to go the moon, Cinnabar pairs up with Bort to an extent, with them both working together to fight during the night raid, and they attack Phos together when he comes down to earth to talk to Kongō. Bort also encourages Cinnabar to include themselves with the rest of the gems more. Phosphophyllite [ ] Cinnabar first said they envied Phosphophyllite since the latter is wanted by the Lunarians. They want to leave the night duty so when Phos promised they will find Cinnabar a job suited for them, they can't help but feel a little hopeful. Cinnabar saves Phos multiple times, making Phos determined to help them back. They picked up Phos' notepad, but did not give it back to them yet. Though they agreed that Phos is useless and a disappointment, they always remember Phos' promise and has held off on labeling them as a liar. Phos themselves is kind of happy to be depended on, as both actually are weak and not useful for their society. When asked by Phos whether they trust Kongō or not, Cinnabar replies that they are still observing. On the contrary, Kongō cares for them, telling them that they're worth something just by being alive, though they still can't find the best solution for them. Due to recent developments, Cinnabar is less reliant on Phos getting them a job, but reveals to Phos in their final battle that they are ultimately thankful for them - because of Phos, they were finally able to be with the other Gems. On the moon, they seem to harbor some complex emotions toward Phosphophyllite, stating that they feel happy where they are now, yet they feel bothered that they don't feel dissatisfied by Phosphophyllite's absence. their possibly bothered by Pho's absence, if Cinnabar wasn't. Why would they be bothered  if they didn't feel dissatisfied by the gem's absence? Gem Info [ ] Mineral: Sulfide Chemistry: HgS Color: Red, brownish-red Cinnabar and cinnabarite, likely deriving from the Greek κινναβαρι ( kinnabari ), refer to the common bright scarlet to brick-red form of mercury(II) sulfide, that is the most common source ore for refining elemental mercury, and is the historical source for the brilliant red or scarlet pigment termed vermilion and associated red mercury pigments. Cinnabar has been used for its color since antiquity in the Near East, including as a rouge-type cosmetic, in the New World since the Olmec culture, and in China since as early as the Song dynasty, where it was used in coloring lacquer-ware. Associated modern precautions for use and handling of cinnabar arise from the toxicity of the mercury component, which was recognized as early as ancient Rome. Source: Wikipedia rough cinnabar polished cinnabar Quote [ ] "To think they'd be on higher level than me, a gem useless since birth. How impressive..!" - Phosphophyllite, about Cinnabar. "I don't want to dirty anything more than I already have. I don't want to be seen. It's so shameful.. I don't want to fight." - Cinnabar, in Chapter Two. "Someone like you, who is beloved even on the moon.. couldn't understand what it feels like to be lonely." - Cinnabar, to Phos Trivia [ ] Cinnabar in Japanese originally written as ' 辰砂 /shinsha' in kanji (roughly means "dragon sand"), but in the series written as シンシャ/Shinsha in katakana. Kongō and Cinnabar/Shinsa are the only Gems who use Japanese names instead of English in the original Japanese version. Cinnabar's poison doesn't have a name, only called "poison" or "venom", but it is most likely mercury. Their hair is red, but it is more purplish in the animation PV. Despite the rest of the Gems getting a necklace in the collaboration with TASAKI, Cinnabar did not. This is due to the fact that Cinnabar in real life is toxic. Cinnabar is the first character to appear and speak in the anime adaptation. Unlike in the manga where it was the Amethyst Twins, Cinnabar is the one to save Phos from the lunarians the second time. They seem to not care about getting shattered, as they are okay with possibly being shattered beyond repair in Chapter Two.

Land of the Lustrous

Her appearance is very similar to her descendant Ventricosus with a long dress covering the jellyfish-like tentacles that makes up her lower half of her true form. Additionally, she also wears the same headdress as Ventricousus. However, unlike her descendants' dress, which is silky smooth and pattern-less, Convallarius' dress is patterned with vertical rows of holes on all sides. It is unknown what color she is.
Since the dress is similar in size and shape to other known King's of the Admirabilis , it is safe to assume that all rulers of the species wear the same attire, but are able to modify it to their liking.
Due to the famine, Queen Convallarius's dress and tentacles appear to be beaten and tattered.

Not much is known about Convallarius personality-wise, but it is apparent that her leadership skills were invaluable, as the Admirabilis would've likely gone extinct if she didn't make the decision to seek help from the descendants of spirit .


Land of the Lustrous

Diamond has a clear, colorless scheme, yet their gem's characteristically high refractive index causes the light that hits them to refract strongly, creating a rainbow effect. They are very sparkly and blinding, glowing even during the night, though they seem to be able to dampen this by covering parts of their body up. Their hair is a fluffy short-medium bob, with thick eyebrows and eyelashes. They wore either a winter or summer uniform depending on the season. They also wore standard black loafers with small bows. As a diamond, they always wore white opera gloves with white thigh-highs.

Manga Spoiler On the Moon, they wear feminine and frilly outfits that often resemble dresses with puffy skirts. During the Invasion Arc , the back of their head had a huge bow, they wore a light halterneck leotard with vertical stripes, they also wore a huge flower-shaped skirt and wore pointed toe boots with high heels and wore opera gloves. They wielded a sword as a weapon that was tough enough to break Bort . As of Chapter 95 , Diamond has become a Lunarian and therefore has lost their unique rainbow-reflective translucent physique. Although the effect might still be similar, as lunarian bodies also reflect various different colors at once. End of spoiler. Personality [ ] Diamond is initially very friendly, kind, and gentle. They appear to be relatively calm during battle, even when their situation isn't good. However, they are actually insecure and frustrated with their current body which, though being the hardest, shatters easily. Dia wishes to change this. Dia dislikes being compared to Bort although they admire their younger sibling a lot. They are perceptive regarding Gems' inner feelings and relationships, though Cinnabar accuses them of seeing everything as some kind of romance. Despite their more gentle nature, they're very stubborn and tend to fight until they shatter in battle. From Bort's point of view, Dia is extremely reckless. Diamond's contempt towards of Bort reaches a head in later chapters when Dia forces them into fighting, furious that the gem would not only show a softer side to someone else, but also abandon the one thing that they were so much better at. It's here that Diamond shows that they've gotten egotistical on the moon, ordering their fans to cheer and belittling them for not being good enough. Character Profiles [ ] Vol. 2: Wants to be like Bort. Loves to talk about love. Vol. 3: Cute representative. Top model. Vol. 4: Adorable. Just strong enough. Vol. 5: Cuties love cute things. Vol. 6: Very cute and relatively strong. Idol of all the gems. Vol. 7: Likes cute and pretty things. Vol. 8: Adorable. But still has worries. Vol. 9: Adorable. Adapts easily to new environments. Vol. 10: Likes it on the moon, where there are all kinds of love stories. Vol. 11: Appears to have found and ideal self. Story [ ] Phosphophyllite asked Diamond advice for performing better in their work, and they suggest to Phos to change what they normally do. When fighting the Lunarians , they broke their arm while trying out a new technique and threw Phos far so they could run away. Bort saved them both later and reprimanded Dia. Dia and Bort then fought the mysterious shell slug the Lunarians threw, and broke its shell. Diamond mistook the slug as Phos and began looking a way to bring Phos back. Cinnabar gave them an idea and later Dia asks the Gems to pull out the shell from pond and collect Phos' fragments. Dia searched for Phos in their room only to find out that Phos had placed a doll in their bed. Later they told the rest of the Gems and joined the search in the sea. They joined the winter hibernation like the other Gems. Phos told Dia about they became Bort's new teammate. They seemed shocked but then agreed. Diamond fought the anomalous Moon Person " Shiro " and defeated it for the first time despite losing much of their body to breakage. They became sad after that because they didn't have the chance to see the fluffy Lunarian so Red Beryl made a "Shiro" doll and gave it to them. When three sunspots were spotted together at the same time, Diamond, Yellow Diamond , and Benitoite handled one together. Benitoite accidentally struck the vessel after one of the arrows bounces off their sword. One of the gems who accompanied Phosphophyllite to the moon. Has found their true passion of becoming a pop star on the moon. Was present for Phos's return to the Moon after 220 years. Is threatened by Phos to come and destroy the Earth Gems and complies. On Earth, Dia forces Bort to fight against them. The fight ends in a draw, with both Gems shattering each other. Diamond is restored like all the other Gems and is changed into a Lunarian. After the completion of Phos' divine conversion, they were present alongside all other Lunarians on their final trip back to the Earth, and were then prayed away by Phos into nothingness along with every remnants of humanity. Relationships [ ] Phosphophyllite [ ] Diamond seems to spoil Phosphophyllite. They listen to them patiently and cares for them when they're sulking. When their blade was thrown and their arm broken, Diamond threw Phos and told them to run. It seemed because Phos tried to save Diamond's arm and got eaten, Diamond decided to look for a way to bring Phos back. When they heard that Phos' plea to go to ocean got rejected, Dia planned to persuade Sensei again together with Phos. Dia also accepted and was very understanding about Bort and Phos being teammates, and asked Phos to take care of the little one (Bort), though later they said it was so frustrating (for them). Though Dia thinks Bort is eccentric, they became upset when Phos talked badly about Bort. Along with most other gems, Dia's concern for Phos diminished after going to the moon, most likely because of their satisfaction with their new status as a pop idol. Bort [ ] Diamond's younger sibling. Their relationship with Bort is complicated. They admire and love Bort, but also envy and resent them for being so strong and otherwise undermining Dia's strength and honor as a diamond. Bort themself thinks of Diamond's insecurities as irrelevant and often physically berates and yells at them for their reckless and inefficient battle style, but Diamond is too stubborn to listen to them even though they know Bort is right. They tell Phos that Bort is the real diamond between them. Bort sometimes calls Diamond 'Niichan', while Diamond calls Bort their 'Otouto'. Dia want to somehow get rid of or leave Bort so that they don't feel so inferior. The other gems know about Bort and Diamond's strength situation and try not mention it in front of Diamond. When separated from Bort on the Moon, Dia seems to display fear at the mention of Bort, signifying that there was more hostility in treatment from Bort towards Dia and Dia's feelings towards Bort. Phos eventually uses this to take advantage of Dia in threatening to bring Bort to the Moon so that Dia complies in assisting with destroying the Earth Gems. Dia mentions that they would like to turn that "little nuisance (Bort) into dust". Invading Earth proper, Diamond is immediately angry at Bort for their unwillingness to fight and their kindness towards Cinnabar. When they're able to shatter them, Diamond is darkly satisfied with their pyrrhic victory even as they fall to pieces. After both of them were changed into Lunarians, Diamond was seen seemingly trying to reconcile with the now-despondent jellyfish breeder Bort, barging in and announcing that all the former diamonds will be reconvening at the upcoming party - to which Bort bluntly denied. It could be implied that Dia no longer has a reason to fear or envy Bort, now that their status is pretty much equal (or even higher, considering Dia's current profession as a performer.) Cinnabar [ ] Maybe because they were 'born' in the same year, Dia is more friendly to Cinnabar and wasn't afraid being near them. They can read between the lines of what Cinnabar says, much to their annoyance. Diamond says that Cinnabar talks about Phos more than they talked during the last century. They also like to tease them about their 'crush' on Phos. Yellow Diamond [ ] Older sibling to all the gems, but to Diamond especially due to their shared gem type. Dia looks up to Yellow like the other gems and was partnered with them for a short while. They got along very well while the two were partnered. Diamond doesn't seem to harbor an inferiority complex about Yellow, even with their super speed. Save for their shared diamond-class, Yellow Diamond isn't particularly close to Dia. Morganite [ ] Morganite and Phosphophyllite once played card games against Diamond and Euclase , calling them 'Team Eyebrows'. Morga was also one of the gems Dia asked for help in regards to 'Phos' turning into a slug. Euclase [ ] Euclase and Diamond played a game of cards against Morganite and Phosphophyllite. They won every time. Gem Info [ ] Mineral: Diamond Chemistry: C Color: Colorless Diamond (from the ancient Greek ἀδάμας – adámas , meaning "unbreakable", "proper", or "unalterable") is one of the best-known and most sought-after gemstones. Diamond is the only gem made of a single element: It is typically about 99.95 percent carbon. The other 0.05 percent can include one or more trace elements, which are atoms that aren't part of the diamond’s essential chemistry. Some trace elements can influence its color or crystal shape. The hardness of diamond and its high dispersion of light – giving the diamond its characteristic "fire" – make it useful for industrial applications and desirable as jewelry. It forms under high temperature and pressure conditions that exist only within a specific depth range (about 100 miles) beneath the earth’s surface. Diamond’s crystal structure is isometric, which means the carbon atoms are bonded in essentially the same way in all directions. Perhaps the most famous use of the diamond in jewelry is in engagement rings, which became popular in the early to mid 20th century due to an advertising campaign by the De Beers company, though diamond rings have been used to symbolize engagements since at least the 15th century. rough diamond polished diamond Diamond is the birthstone for April, Especially queenly Cut diamonds are Popular as April Birthstone. Colorless diamond is also the gem that marks the 60th and 75th wedding anniversaries. Source: Wikipedia | GIA Trivia [ ] Diamonds have been used decoratively throughout history. In modern times, it is often associated as a gem used in weddings or marriage. This can be seen reflected in the series with Dia's own sweet and romance-loving personality. Diamond is one of the few gems with a custom part of their uniform. In real life, diamond is said to be the hardest natural material on Earth. This can be compared to the character's own obstinate trait in some ways. There are many types of diamonds in real life. This is also reflected in the series with the various diamond-class characters, including Yellow Diamond and Bort . The hardest known type is known as Aggregated Diamond Nanorods (ADNR), which is 11% harder than bulk diamond. This type of diamond is also known to be naturally generated, rarely found in meteor impacts with graphite.

Land of the Lustrous

In the replica of her made by the Lunarians , she had light, straight, chin-length hair and worn a white lab-coat that is torn in places. It is incomplete, with flower-like structures that obscured her face and a stick-like right leg.
In Kongō's memories, she has light, shoulder-length hair that covers her left eye. She has burn-like scars on her face and partially on her torso, as well as an opening that exposes her veins and ribs. She wears a button shirt, straight black skirt, and a lab coat. Her right leg is a peg leg.

Dr. Ayumu is seen to have a kind, almost playful personality. She was affectionate towards both Shiro and Kongō , both of whom she considers family. Ayumu fits into the archetype of a mad scientist, having made multiple alterations to her body, whether out of necessity or not. She is shown to be indifferent towards extracting and consuming her own blood. Moreover, she dismisses the apparent death of her team-members as an inconvenience.
However, she appears to have a more serious side, shown when she describes humans being unable to solve their conflict with each-other and when she admits she is ashamed to be human. At times, she seems to doubt her sanity, such as when she dismisses her dream as being a by-product of modifying her body too often. She calls herself arrogant for leaving Kongō behind for the sake of the new world.


Land of the Lustrous

Emerald's only appearance is as their Lunarian form in the Volume 12 special edition artbook, The Party At The End . They are assumed to have green features. They have short, curly hair. They are seen wearing an outfit with diamond-shaped details while holding a handbag.

Because of their lack of appearances in the manga, not much is known about their personality. From their interview in The Party at the End , it is assumed that they have a bubbly and outgoing personality.


Land of the Lustrous

Euclase has a light-grey and blue color scheme and wears the winter or summer uniform depending on the season. They also wear standard black shoes but no gloves or socks. Their hair is cut short with a visible undercut and two rectangular hair strands below and infront of their hair with blue on one side and white on the other (The colors seem to be able to switch sides). They also have thick eyebrows.

Manga Spoiler As of Chapter 95 , Euclase has become a Lunarian and therefore has lost their unique light-grey and blue colors. End of spoiler. Personality [ ] Euclase takes their job as a secretary seriously. Despite this, they are kind and caring to all of their siblings, including Phosphophyllite . They were the first to rush into action when Phos was swallowed by a giant slug that invaded the school. It seems like they know their limits and will not do anything unnecessary if it's not the best course of action. They play along with Phos' jokes and have a strong sense of responsibility. They are shown to be quite perceptive, being one of the first to notice Phos' strange behavior after they returned from the Moon . But are also partial to reasoning over violence. Character Profiles [ ] Vol 2: A secretary. They're good at math. Vol. 3: Secretary. Actually an all-rounder who can handle any job. Vol. 4: Secretary. Can forecast the weather with 83% accuracy. Vol. 6: Good at math. Can recite any gem's age to the day on command. Vol. 7: Likes to look for patterns in all manner of phenomena, and then swoon over them. Vol 8: A quiet intellectual. Props Jade up as a leader, but is the gem who holds all the authority. Vol. 9: Kindly and knowledgeable. Always considers what's best for everyone. Vol. 10: Conscience incarnate. Worries about all the others. Vol. 11: Looking for clues to help change things for the better. Vol. 12: The conciliator. Story [ ] Euclase is introduced along with Jade at the beginning of the story. Lunarians drop a giant shell onto the Gem's school. Euclase tells Phosphophyllite to investigate it as a part of their job compiling the natural history encyclopedia. As Euclase and Jade start to leave, a slug comes out of the shell and swallows Phos. Euclase reacts quickly and slices the slug but finds that their blade has melted. After the slug was dealt with, Euclase helps the other Gems recover Phos' fragments from its shell. Later, Euclase drops their paperwork in the pond so they ask Rutile for anti-salt resin. During this moment, they discuss recent events such as the incident with the slug in which two sunspots appeared in one day. Euclase recounts that in the 2173 years that they know, the Lunarians have only come on average once every three days. Rutile tells them the container of anti-salt resin is missing, and Red Beryl also arrives to asks if they've seen a new underwater uniform that has also gone missing. The three find Phos, who had taken both items in order to sneak underwater with Ventricosus . Though caught and denied permission to do so, Phos manages to go underwater anyway. Euclase was among the Gems who searched the ocean for Phos later that night. They assist Phos in recovering and adjusting to new legs after returning from the sea. They go into hibernation with most of the other Gems. Euclase continues to assist Jade. After Phos successfully infiltrates the Moon and returns, Euclase becomes concerned by their behavior, speculating that it is a result of Lapis' influence, or even that the one who returned may not be the Phosphophyllite that they know. Phos manages to convince nearly half of the Gems to accompany them back to the Moon, causing grief to the rest of the Gems including Euclase. This action forces Kongo-sensei to reveal bits of his origin. He tells the Gems that they should seek their own paths as Phos did and no longer rely on him as he was responsible for the current situation. Euclase was the first to reach out and offer Kongo-sensei the chance to start over as an alternative to leaving him and following Phos. Upon Phos's second return with Yellow Diamond and Padparadscha , Euclase appears as the violence is over. They stand over Phos's broken body, asking calmly "This isn't what you wanted to happen, is it?". They offer an alternative to Phos in order to make sure everyone is safe and saying that they need Phos in their future and that the route currently unfolding will place others in danger. However, before Phos can truly agree or disagree, Cairngorm stabs Phos in the face and retrieves them and the other two Gems, leaving back to the Moon. After the departure, it's revealed that Euclase orchestrated and planned the defensive, using it to find Phos's weak point. Upon Phos's third return, Euclase acts as almost the mediator between Phos and Sensei, and is one of the Gems who doesn't jump to attacking Phos. In fact, they are seen shocked at the sight of it. They also attempt to persuade the other Gems to repair Phos and let them speak, however, their requests are denied. Euclase asks Sensei to pray for the next 220 years, slowly forgetting about Phos. After Sensei revives Phos, Euclase is woken up by the noises and speaks first when arriving at the scene. This seems to make Phos hesitate long enough for Bort to attack Phos. Euclase oversees the events of Padparadscha returning before allowing Red Beryl and Obsidian (who had helped reassemble Padparadscha) to go to sleep while Jade and Euclase shovel snow around the building and asks others to deal with ice floes. Euclase figures there is something more to the inability to pray, but doesn't question further and merely says it is a "tough situation". Euclase watches as the other Gems are shattered and attempts a peaceful talk with Phos to negotiate. They are swiftly shattered by Phos. Upon being restored on the Moon, Amethyst 84 informs them that they can be turned into a Lunarian, which they accept and are turned into a Lunarian. Extra Story [ ] During an omake (bonus chapter), four of the Gems are shown playing cards during the night. Morganite and Phos team together against Diamond and Euclase, who the former calls "Team Eyebrows". Diamond and Euclase end up winning, causing Phos to accuse Euclase of cheating and demanding that they switch teammate. Diamond partners with Bort instead and still manages to win. So instead, Euclase partners with Jade, and again still manages to win. Finally, Phos decides to partner with Kongo-sensei... Relationships [ ] Phosphophyllite [ ] Euclase acts as an older sibling type towards Phos, showing them kindness and patience. They display a certain level of assertiveness, however, which becomes more apparent after Phos's first return from the Moon. During Phos's second return, they emerge as the violence is seemingly ended to approach Phos, speaking to them directly and saying "This isn't what you wanted, was it.". However, their level of kindness and patience reveals itself to be prevalent when Phos returns the third time, this time by themselves. Euclase is one of the only ones who are willing to give Phos a chance to speak to Sensei while the other Gems are quick to shatter Phos. Even after Phos is shattered, Euclase seems to be greatly affected and in shock. They, however, pick up on Phos' request to get Sensei to pray, and carry on that request after Phos's pieces are buried for 220 years. Jade [ ] Though it hasn't been officially mentioned, Euclase seems to be partnered with Jade as the two are constantly seen together. Their jobs also seem to complement each other, being a secretary and speaker respectively. They have not been seen fighting together on patrol duty as other Gems have though. Euclase and Jade have one of the healthiest partnership among the Gems, respecting each other and seeming to have a mutual understanding and communication. They have not been seen belittling each other. Sensei [ ] Euclase has a high level of respect and loyalty towards Sensei, being one of the first ones to tell Phos that they do not wish to go to the Moon and that they want to stay with Sensei. They are also the first to speak up to amend things with Sensei after he reveals his true identity, wishing to "start over" with a mutual understanding and respect. Gem Info [ ] Mineral: Silicate Chemistry: BeAlSiO 4 (OH) Color: Shade of blue, colorless, white, light green Euclase is a beryllium aluminum hydroxide silicate mineral. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system and is typically massive to fibrous as well as in slender prismatic crystals. It is related to beryl (Be 3 Al 2 Si 6 O 18 ) and other beryllium minerals. It is a product of the decomposition of beryl in pegmatites. Euclase crystals are noted for their blue color, ranging from very pale to dark blue. The mineral may also be colorless, white, or light green. Cleavage is perfect, parallel to the clinopinacoid, and this suggested to René Just Haüy the name euclase, from the Greek εὖ, easily, and κλάσις, fracture. The ready cleavage renders the crystals fragile with a tendency to chip, and thus detracts from its use for personal ornament. When cut it resembles certain kinds of beryl and topaz, from which it may be distinguished by its specific gravity (3.1). Its hardness (7.5) is similar to beryl (7.5 - 8), and a bit less than that of topaz (8). Rough euclase Polished euclase Trivia [ ] Based on Ichikawa Haruko's illustration, they're most likely Jade 's teammate during patrol duty, but it's not confirmed. Euclase is implied to be at least 2173 years old at the beginning of the story during their talk with Rutile. Their hair color will change sides at random. It is said by Jade that if the blue is in the middle that it is good luck. Gallery [ ] Euclase as seen in the 2013 OVA. Euclase in the promotional cover of the 2017 anime.

Land of the Lustrous

Fluorite is first shown in their original form, before they were shaped by Kongo . Their hair is shown to be long and their body has a crystalline structure. Because of the variety of colors fluorite can come in, it was unknown what type they were until it was mentioned that their color is purple during Party At The End .
In their Lunarian form, they are also shown with long hair. They are wearing a shirt with long sleeves and a high collar, as well as holding a handbag.

Fluorite had not been shown talking or interacting in any way other than during the moment of their discovery. At that time, they were found twitching on the ground next to Red Diamond and Kongo-sensei. It is known that them and Red Diamond were friends in the translated text in the party at the end


Land of the Lustrous

Ghost has a clear colorless scheme and wears either a winter or summer uniform depending on the season. They also wear standard black shoes and bobby socks, but no gloves. These bobby socks seem to be worn to express their multi-layered structure to the other Gems. Their hair is messy and short with a side-part that covers their left eye. There are two long locks of hair on either side of their head that reach down to their thighs.
According to Kongō, Ghost Quartz is a multi-layered Gem, meaning their body is composed of a thin layer of white phantom quartz over a dark crystal formed inside of them, this dark crystal is also considered a Gem, and is able to communicate with Ghost Quartz. This crystal is a pitch-black variety of smoky quartz referred to as " Cairngorm " and would later be named as such by Kongō , and then later be renamed " Werregat " by Yama .
Ghost uses a scythe, which seems to have been made specifically for them by Obsidian . In the Life and Culture book, it is explained that the weapon requires a high level of skill and a strong sense of balance to wield.

Manga Spoiler After becoming a lunarian, Ghost Quartz uses a long sleeve shirt with patterns on it and has triangular glasses matching their companions Obsidian, Hemimorphite, and Watermelon Tourmaline. As of Chapter 95 , Ghost Quartz has become a Lunarian and therefore has lost their unique translucent physique. End of spoiler. Personality [ ] Quiet and calm, Ghost is very insecure about themselves, thinking that their fallen partner, Lapis, was much better than them. They have severe self esteem issues, and often put themselves in danger and show little regard for their own wellbeing. They fear becoming a burden to the other Gems, and deeply apologise for even the smallest of mistakes. Ghost was born with a multi-layered structure, meaning that two personalities inhabit their body, the other later being named Cairngorm , who is very different from Ghost. Ghost describes the other personality as violent and brash, but they both equally respected and followed Lapis. After the loss of their partner, Ghost did not seem to have any close relationships with the other Gems, seeming rather isolated and latching onto even the slightest affection shown to them, such as when Phos reached out to them as the Lunarians attempted to take Ghost to the Moon. In fact, it is even a running gag that the other Gems often forget or don't sense Ghost's presence, and are immediately shocked when they finally notice them. Character Profiles [ ] Vol. 5: A quiet gem who does many inexplicable things. Has a body made of more than one crystal. Vol. 6: A quiet gem who does many inexplicable things. Has a body made of more than one crystal. Story [ ] Ghost Quartz, along with the crystal inside their body , was assigned to supervise the Convalescent Centre, a room with the purpose of storing the recovered parts of Gems taken by the Lunarians with the eventual goal of restoring them fully. However, based on the diary entries of past supervisors and their own experience, both Ghost and the Gem within them came to the uncomfortable realisation that no Gem that was taken to the Moon has ever come back. Both internally decided to keep this discovery a secret from the others out of fear of negatively impacting morale. At some point in time, Lapis Lazuli was assigned to be Ghost's partner. Both parts of Ghost gained a deep admiration for Lapis, and Ghost believed that when the two of them were together they could achieve anything. However, eventually the majority of Lapis was taken to the Moon, leaving behind only their head. Their remaining head was placed within the Convalescent Centre, and Ghost took over their position at the library. As a result of the loss of Lapis, Ghost partnered with the Gem within them. After the loss of Chrysoberyl , Alexandrite takes all the books about Lunarians from Ghost Quartz to fuel their own hatred of them. Natural Historian Arc [ ] Ghost Quartz accompanying Sensei They are seen alongside the other Gems after Morganite and Goshenite challenged the Lunarians without Sensei's permission. They watch Sensei yell at the two for their recklessness and also witness Phosphophyllite being assigned their new job as a natural historian. Afterwards, they presumably take the parts of Heliodor that Morganite and Goshenite recovered up to the Convalescent Centre.
Ghost takes note of the fact that Phos did not even attempt to use the Library as a resource for their work of compiling an encyclopedia. Winter Arc [ ] Ghost Quartz and the Gem within them hibernate alongside the other Gems due to the lack of sunlight. Secrets Arc [ ] Ghost getting caught in the Lunarian trap While investigating the Library for books about Lunarians, Phos is startled by Ghost. Ghost explains to Phos that all the books about Lunarians had been taken by Alexandrite, however there was a singular "war diary" left behind. Before Phos could get a chance to read the diary, they are interrupted by Benitoite and Neptunite, who explain that three sunspots have been spotted. The Gems split into teams (with Ghost being partnered with Phos and Sensei) to tackle the sunspots all at once, as Sensei explains that splitting up cost them three Gems to the Moon the last time the Lunarians attempted this strategy. Ghost mentions to Sensei that they have a strong feeling that the sunspots might contain parts of Lapis. In the chaos, Benitoite accidentally destroys one of the sunspots before the others could get a chance to, causing the remaining to furl up into small balls. Sensei warns the two not to touch them but as Phos and Sensei argue, Ghost leaps up onto one of the balls to investigate, falling into the Lunarians' trap. As Ghost investigates the decoy ball, the Lunarians, hidden in a fold behind them, grab them and attempt to drag them inside the sunspot. Right before being inadvertently destroyed by Sensei, Ghost notices that Phos reached out to them in a brief attempt to save them. After being repaired by Rutile , Ghost thanks Phos profusely for attempting to save them, and goes off with Rutile to thank Sensei also. Unbeknownst to Ghost, this sends Phos into a crisis, as they ended up giving up on saving Ghost to watch Sensei's actions more closely. The next day, Phos is finally given a chance to read the "war diary" but ultimately finds out that the document is an inappropriately named jellyfish rearing log. Ghost is deeply apologetic for their mistake and ends up wishing that Lapis was here in their stead. Ghost ends up explaining to Phos what their old partner Lapis was like and the details of their multi-layered structure nature. Finally, they mention that the new Phos reminds them a lot of Lapis and tells them that they will help Phos with anything they need. Phos declines as they fear that involving them in their work would be dangerous for Ghost. Ghost watches as Phos is split in half by an arrow However, when Ghost approaches them again after Cinnabar rejected their offer, Phos ultimately decides to partner with Ghost for the time being. During a patrol with Phos, Ghost spots a sunspot and offers to go warn Sensei. However, Phos stops them, as they intend to try and communicate with the Lunarians without Sensei's knowledge. They ask Ghost to watch their back as they jump up to investigate the Lunarians. Phos ends up caught up in their thoughts about Cinnabar, and before Ghost can warn them, they get pierced in half by a Lunarian arrow. Ghost Quartz' final wish Despite their best attempts, Phos is unable to repair themselves with their own alloy, leaving it up to Ghost to save them. They end up strategizing with the Gem inside of them, thinking of a way to save Phos. However, they struggle to defend both themselves and Phos against the large amounts of Lunarians. Eventually, as a desperate attempt to get the Lunarians' attention off of Phos, Ghost ends up agreeing to throw away their own arm as a distraction. This works, and finally both halves of Phos fall down to the ground. As Ghost loses more and more parts of themselves to the Lunarians, they finally admit their long term feelings of resentment towards the Gem inside of them as they sacrifice themselves. However, in their final moments, they express their gratitude and make their final wish: for the remaining Gem to protect Phos. Afterwards, they are taken to the Moon. Although the Gem within them was also known as Ghost at first, eventually they were given their own name, Cairngorm . As Cairngorm is given their new name, they realise that now it feels as though Ghost is truly gone, but finally decide to keep their new name anyway in an effort to move on from Ghost Quartz's abduction. Prayer Arc [ ] Cairngorm imagines a phantom projection of Ghost before being dragged away by the remaining inclusions At some point, Cairngorm approaches Aechmea to ask about restoring Antarcticite fully for Phos' sake. After Aechmea confirms that it truly is impossible, Cairngorm asks him to attach a synthetic layer of Antarcticite to mimic the double-layered structure Cairngorm was once a part of with Ghost Quartz. He refuses and confirms that Cairngorm still has inclusions of Ghost Quartz within their eyes. He then theorises that the only reason Cairngorm is willing to go to these lengths to help Phos is as a result of Cairngorm being controlled by the inclusions remaining in their eyes. Aechmea offers to "free" Cairngorm by surgically removing the remaining parts and then leaves to get his tools. Just as Cairngorm considers his offer, the remaining inclusions seize control and attempt to drag them away, giving some credibility to Aechmea's theory. Cairngorm begs to be freed as they resist the control of the inclusions. Aechmea finds a destroyed Cairngorm clinging onto the doorway and takes them away to perform the procedure, removing the last remaining parts of Ghost Quartz. Due to the fact that the majority of Ghost Quartz was dust on the Moon at the time, it seems likely that Ghost Quartz as a whole was completely unaware of this happening, seeing as their inclusions were separated. Two hundred and twenty years later, Ghost Quartz is fully restored as a Lunarian. They join Hemimorphite, Obsidian and Watermelon Tourmaline on a trip to the "Eye-Opener", a Lunarian amusement park. On their way there, they meet with Caingorm (now referred to as Welegato), Antarcticite and Cinnabar and the group asks them what time the event takes place. After this is confirmed to be 6:00 PM, Ghost continues their conversation with the others and mention that the Lunarians have found it impossible to restore Lapis Lazuli into a Lunarian as their head is still down on Earth with Phos. Relationships [ ] Lapis Lazuli [ ] Ghost's former partner. Ghost speaks of Lapis Lazuli in high regards, referring to them as smart and organized. Ghost also maintains the library as if Lapis Lazuli will return soon. The library was put into Ghost's responsibility after Lapis was taken by The Lunarians -- leaving only their head. Although Ghost speaks highly of Lapis, it's unsure if it was a healthy relationship as it is learned later that Lapis was also clever and manipulative. It's unknown if Lapis treated Ghost this way, but Lapis did seem to place a lot of trust into Ghost. Ghost does say that "We both [Ghost and Cairngorm] lived by Lapis' instructions." so it's most likely an unbalanced relationship in which Ghost idolizes them too much.  It is unsure if Ghost or Cairngorm idolizes them, but it seems to be a driving force overall for the one being. It's also suggested that Lapis might have been slightly distant to Ghost, as even as Phos distances themselves from Ghost as much as possible in order to protect them,  Ghost still mentions that Phos reminds them of Lapis. Phosphophyllite [ ] Ghost's most recent external partner. Ghost appears to respect Phos, even thanking them for placing in the effort of stretching out their hand to save Ghost. Ghost however, seems to project Lapis onto Phos to fill a vacant spot for them in their life, seeming to want to follow Phos's orders without question as Ghost did presumably to Lapis. Ghost is willing to sacrifice themselves for Phos's safety, which ends up being the reason Ghost is taken to the Moon. Cairngorm [ ] Ghost appears to have an extremely complex relationship with Cairngorm, the Gem they formed with and for a time, shared a body with. It is often unclear how they truly feel about each other, and it is even more ambiguous who controls Ghost’s outward behaviour at times. Ghost is seen treating Cairngorm kindly, even referring to them affectionately as the “little one” inside of them. However, we see a clearer picture of the relationship as Ghost is taken to the Moon , when Ghost finally admits their long-term feelings of resentment towards Cairngorm, calling them violent, self-centred and annoying. Finally, Ghost Quartz also confesses that they partly blame Lapis ’ abduction on Cairngorm. Based on this interaction and Ghost Quartz telling Cairngorm “not to act up today” earlier, we can surmise that Cairngorm has acted counterproductively in the past while the two were still stuck together. Ghost Quartz fears becoming a burden to the other Gems and Sensei, and as a result it seems as though they began to resent the Gem within them for interfering. Nevertheless, Ghost shows Cairngorm gratitude in their final moments and entrusts them to protect Phosphophyllite in Ghost’s absence. Cairngorm seems seriously distraught at the loss of Ghost Quartz, showing that their relationship to Ghost was possibly alike to that of a sibling. While having animosity towards each other, at the end of the day both still cared for each other. This is turned on its head when Aechmea tells Cairngorm that, even after Ghost’s abduction, they were still being controlled by Ghost’s inclusions. Aechmea’ s theory is given some validity as the inclusions of Ghost drag Cairngorm away. After the inclusions were surgically removed by Aechmea, Cairngorm completely changes their attitude about Ghost, turning against Phos at odds to Ghost’s final wish and even showing no care for Lapis. They try to act as differently from Ghost as possible in an attempt to be “free” of their control. In spite of this, two-hundred and twenty years later, when Ghost is fully revived as a Lunarian the two seem to have no hard feelings towards each other. This makes sense, seeing as both are now finally able to be independent of each other. However, it is also likely that Ghost has no idea about their inclusions being forcefully removed from Cairngorm’s body, adding a sinister undertone to their newfound friendship. Gem Info [ ] Mineral: Oxide Chemistry: SiO 2 Color: Colorless Phantom quartz is a variety of quartz, or "rock crystal", that forms over pre-existing crystals. The included crystal is visible due to some variation in composition making the boundary of the included crystal visible. Such crystals display the outlines of numerous smaller crystals, known as phantoms . Quotes [ ] " You can never tell, can you? I mean, I never expected to see you here, Phos. When you were working on your Natural History, you never came near the library. " - Ghost, to Phosphophyllite. " You reached out to help me. I saw you. It might have been Sensei who really saved the day, but I was really happy to see you try. Thank you ." - Ghost thanking Phos for attempting to save them. " You know, you've always been here- this dark crystal inside of me. You're violent, self-centred and it goes without saying that you're annoying. Lapis isn't coming back, and we're always causing trouble for all the other Gems. I've always thought all of that was your fault ," - Ghost, to Cairngorm. " But today, I'm glad you're here. Once they tear me off of you, I want you to protect Phos, okay? " - Ghost's final words to Cairngorm. Gallery [ ] Ghost Quartz smiling. Ghost in combat A "phantom"-like projection of ghost quartz Ghost Quartz bust Ghost protects Phos Ghost in pieces Ghost's volume description Ghost's scythe Ghost caught in a trap Ghost Quartz talking about Lapis Trivia [ ] As mentioned earlier, a running gag with Ghost is their ability to sneak up on the other Gems and unintentionally frighten them. This character detail is likely derived from their name, "ghost". Ghost Quartz has not had any spoken lines in the 2017 anime so far. They have only appeared once as a cameo in the anime as they are considered a side cast member in the first season, along with Peridot, Sphene, Watermelon Tourmaline and Hemimorphite.

Land of the Lustrous

Goshenite has a clear colorless scheme and wears either the winter or summer uniform depending on the season. Their hair is shorter on their left side before becoming almost chin length on the other, the impression being their hair is being swept to the right. Their bangs often cover their right eye, although it is still visible.

They're very kind and gentle. While their partner tends to tease Phosphophyllite , they usually treat them with kindness instead. Despite this, they lend Phos their blade on one occasion, only in an attempt to inform them of the dangers of fighting.


Land of the Lustrous

Goshenite has a clear colorless scheme and wore either the winter or summer uniform depending on the season on Earth. They also wore the standard black shoes but no gloves nor socks. Their hair is cut very short with longer bangs swept to the side.
On the Moon, they are eventually seen with a new outfit resembling a snowboarding outfit. They wear a ski jacket, pants with cuffed bottoms that come just above the ankles, and sneakers with ankle socks. Their hair remains the same.
As of Chapter 95 , Goshenite has become a Lunarian and therefore has lost their unique transluscent physique.

The new Goshe is energetic and talkative, as opposed to the reserved and calm original Goshenite. They constantly reassure their partner that no one thinks badly of them for "replacing" the original Morga and goes out of their way to prove it. Similarly to the new Morganite , they held Phos in high regard due to how powerful they are.
It's revealed on the Moon that they don't like to be around "real talk", and would rather find escapes and activities they considered fun. Cicada considers them a natural at talking to others.


Land of the Lustrous

They are assumed to have green color scheme. Their hair is short and simple, with sharp points at the end which also cover their eyebrows as bangs. Their eyes droop down slightly, with a calm smile on their face. They wear the typical outfit, featuring opera gloves and thigh high socks to top off the look.


Land of the Lustrous

They have a greenish yellow color scheme. Heliodor has large, rounded eyes with presumably darker yellow eyebrows and eyelashes. They are shown to have full, shoulder-length hair along similar to Morganite's and bangs with what appears to be a red bowtie on top.

Not much is known about Heliodor since they were already taken by the Lunarians at the start of the story. They are only shown in a single flashback scene in which Heliodor, along with other Gems, curiously watch Kongo-sensei teach a young Phosphophyllite . After being spotted, all the Gems flee but Heliodor comes back to ask Kongo-sensei if Phos is a good fighter, to which he replies that he does not know yet but Phos has a kind heart.


Land of the Lustrous

They have powder-blue color-scheme and wear winter or summer uniform depending on the season. They also wear standard black shoes but no gloves nor socks. Their hair is long and swept over their right shoulder with full bangs and two chin-length hair strands infront of their ears.

They have been shown to have a kind and playful personality.


Land of the Lustrous

Jade has a dark green color scheme and wears either the winter or summer uniform depending on the season. They also wear standard black shoes and dark green knee-high socks. Their hair is long and tied on the back like a ribbon.

They are a very serious person. In the manga, their character profile shows them sitting in a formal Seiza position with legs tucked underneath. In the anime, they are portrayed more playfully and with humor.


Land of the Lustrous

Kima is a tall, slim Lunarian with light skin. They wear a loose shirt under a baggy coat and slim fit pants with low, flat-heeled boots. Kima ties their light hair in a bun on top of their head with a smaller bun at the side of the bigger one, Kima has blunt bangs with two, small appendages at back of their head.
During the Moon Wedding, Kima wore a light dress that had a slit at the side with a one-shoulder neckline and a collar. They wore opera gloves with this outfit.

Kima had very minor appearances. Kima looks up to their teacher, Quieta and was confident in making a better outfit for Phos. They are also rather friendly as they taught the gems how to dance and danced with them.


Land of the Lustrous

Kongō takes the form of a tall, bald man wearing a Buddhist monk kimono and robes. He always wears a pair of white gloves and usually sports a black cloak when going outside. He is often shown with a somber expression, frowning with his eyes closed.
Much like the other Gems, who are covered in a white powder that imitates skin, he is also white in color, but his complexion seems to be part of his anatomy. It is unknown what his inner color is underneath the white surface. The volume 9 omake discusses this, where the younger Earth Gems ask what color he really is. He explains that while he cannot give out full details, he confirms that he does have some transparency. He's described as solid and heavy, as he is able to create trembles with his footsteps and crack pillars simply by dropping his head onto them when sleepy.

Normally, he is very quiet and stoic. When he speaks, he is straightforward and concise. He only rarely displays emotions, but this is rumored to be because he is deliberately hiding them and that his face would be very easy to read otherwise. On the rare occasions where he shows humor, he is still as deadpan as ever.
His composure usually only falters under two conditions: first, when Gems put themselves in harm's way carelessly, second, when he is confronted by matters from his past, such as the subject of humans. These cause him great alarm. When he is angered, he is capable of tremendous unintentional destruction, shattering weak Gems with the force of his voice alone or cracking stone floors by walking over them. These emotional expressions never last long and he very quickly reverts to his relatively expressionless face.
Otherwise, he is nonchalant and tolerant. He allows Gems without critical duties to do work on their own times, and is blasé about them prying into his past or secrets.
Kongō seems cautious using his power as to not shatter the Gems, unless he decides to scold them for making trouble or putting themselves in danger.
He cares for the Gems considerably and blames himself when they are injured or taken away by the Lunarians. Kind and wise, he becomes sad when the younger Gems are sad. He only rarely demonstrates physical affection, such as hugging Antarcticite or patting other Gems on the head. For unknown reasons, he didn't tell the younger Gems about 'humans' and avoids any mentioning of them, instead vaguely referring to humans as an 'ancient species'.
He does not appear to sleep often, but his wakefulness takes a toll on him. He has a set period in a day where he goes under deep sleep-like meditation and becomes virtually impossible to wake. According to Jade , waking up Kongō from this "nap" period is more of a struggle than fighting the Lunarians, as demonstrated by the Gem shouting and even smacking Kongō in a futile attempt to wake him. Despite that, it is implied that he can be awakened from this state, as he once chastised the Gems for not doing so when the school was attacked by the Lunarians. During that same incident, he had drifted from meditation into sleep and starting dreaming, something which he considered reckless upon waking.
He is hinted to be very lonely.


Land of the Lustrous

The Ice Floes are bright-blue slabs of ice with a layer of white snow atop them. At times they take the form of a crude facsimile of Lunarian vessels.
Originally created to be in the shape of a metallic black box with a single camera eye, however this form was destroyed. They later took on the shape of the Ice Floes.
Currently, they appear as a singular flat oval shaped eye surrounded by an unknown black wire-like substance, with many thin black tendrils attached to it acting as arms and legs. Within the sclera of the eye is many dots that form the shape of a mouth.

Initially, the Ice Floes seemed to lack their own personality, instead reflecting the worries of others and exacerbating them. They seem to only focus on negative aspects of the thoughts of others, and the sounds they make when scrape against one another seems to imply that they are in constant pain.
When the Ice Floes were a black box, it had wanted to take control of the world from humans, go so far as to miscalculate the first meteor impact so it would hit Earth.
They appear to be happy and easy going, having a great love for "Sushi Cream Chips". Although despite this outside demeanor, they appear to harbor a deep rooted resentment for humanity, barring their creator.


Land of the Lustrous

Ladra is shown with a masculine appearance, but other than that not much is known, as he is usually behind the camera.

Despite him being prominently featured in The Party at the End , not much is known about his personality. He is appreciative of beauty and art, and frequently shows his appreciation in his comments during the interviews. He seems friendly with a lot if not most of the gems, and he is outgoing.


Land of the Lustrous

Their character color is ultramarine blue. They have thigh-length, straight hair with bangs underneath their eyebrows which they seem to have a habit of adjusting and pushing behind their ears. Small pieces of pyrite (also known as fool's gold ) adorn their hair, most noticeable at the ends and encircling their scalp. So far, they've been only seen in a standard winter uniform, occasionally sporting black opera gloves but is depicted gloveless and sockless in later appearances.
They have extremely keen senses, which have since been inherited by Phos.

They have a charming, leader-like personality. They have keen observation and great deductive thinking skills, and because of that have great confidence in themselves.
Euclase remarks that they were extremely smart and pleasant to talk to but were more eager to use their skills to satisfy their intellectual curiosity rather than for the benefit of others. This meant they could be quite manipulative at times. Cairngorm remarks that they could 'quietly conceal secrets for centuries' and were 'surprisingly deceiving'.
Phos once remarked how they feel calm whenever they read books, a possible trait that was inherited from Lapis.
In chapter 47, Cairngorm comments that Lapis had a habit of constantly touching their hair when they notice that Phos inherited similar behavior.
