Description
Have I mentioned I'm Gem trash? Because I'm totally Gem trash. And this is my Gemsona. NOW WITH MORE INFORMATION. Including a cute "episode" idea.

Name: Carnelian
Race: Gem
Weapon(s): Magmakinesis
Gender: Genderless
Pronouns: She/Her
Gemstone: Carnelian (no facets)
Gemstone Location: Central lower back

Abilities:
Carnelian possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shape-shifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.
Short-Distance Teleportation: She is capable of teleporting short distances of up to 10 feet or so, but it expends a lot of energy. After three or four "blinks", she's left exhausted. It's only often used as a last ditch effort to escape a deadly situation.
Heat Resistence: Similar to Garnet, she is highly resistant to heat, capable of swimming in lava.
Thermo-Regulation: Also similar to Ruby, she can change her body temperature to the extremes. This allows her to melt stone and sand, as well as starting fires. It appears to be closely linked to her anger, also much like Ruby, but due to emotional troubles, she is nearly incapable of channelling her power.
Magmakinesis: Her magmakinesis allows her to move and shape magma and lava with her mind, turning her molten surroundings into her weapons. This is pretty much useless when she's not in or near an active volcano, as she cannot get angry enough to melt objects in her surroundings.

Personality:
Carnelian is strong-willed and determined, but easily swayed by the opinions of others. She's highly self-conscious, worried about what others think of her. She comes off as quiet and sad when left to her own devices, preferring to shy away from others, especially if they might recognize her as a Crystal Gem. She’s rather street-wise for a Gem, well-travelled and generally more knowledgeable of humans.

She had done well to stay as far away from Beach City as possible, until a sense of duty had called her back there upon suspecting the possible return of Home World from seeing the hand spacecraft on Ronaldo's Keep Beach City Weird blog. While the other Gems thought she had perished, she eventually revealed that she had run away in fear like a coward and has been hiding all this time.

The Gems were initially angry about this, but it was Steven who convinced them that everyone gets scared sometimes, and now that Carnelian is back, she can help the Gems fight Home World again, for real this time. Carnelian was flattered by everyone's change of heart, but ultimately let them all know she had to help herself before she could help anyone else. She was last seen walking away from Beach City.

Trivia:
- In crystal healing, carnelian is associated with creativity, courage, and individuality. It's said to carry the energy of confidence and power, and if you've lost your zest for life, carnelian will help you find it. This is especially interesting as Carnelian spends most of her energy trying to please others while she herself has no "zest" for herself anymore.
- Carnelian is associated with fire.
- Carnelian is a Chalcedony gemstone, meaning it's a type of quartz.
- Carved carnelian was used by the Romans in ring-stamps for wax seals because of its not well known feature that hot wax doesn't stick to it.
