Description

INTRODUCING THE EQUESTRIA GEMS! The Mane 6 as Crystal Gems! Self explanatory, really. All of them are Crystal Gems, as such, all have the star insignia somewhere on them instead of something else. An interesting design choice I decided would be that, similar to how all of the Mane 6 are (or were, not counting Alicorn Twilight) two of each, three of the Equestria Gems have defined lips like Garnet and Amethyst, three don't. Three have eyes like Sapphire and three don't. Simple. Lilac Pearl has simple eyes and lips. I have a mythology set up for them already, which comes together with all of them, but I have yet to define their homeworld as Earth, considering the backstory is slightly different and clashing slightly with Steven Universe's events, and as such, may not take place on the same world as Steven's, at least, not without significant alterations to the Equestria Gems canon. Despite this, I don't want to specify it as not Earth, as it could still be Earth, and I don't want to ruin the idea of crossovers. And I would love to see people use the Equestria Gems canon if they so desire, seriously! All I ask is that you try to stay with the ideas I've lined out, and feel free to ask questions about everything! You can absolutely use these designs, IF YOU CREDIT ME AND RESPECT MY WISHES! Since this is kind of my idea and design (this specific canon, I do not own the idea of the Mane 6 as Gems, obviously) I would like if you asked questions about this! In short: :iconyouareplz::iconallowedplz:
Fluttershy=Lilac Pearl
Lilac Pearl is a standard pure aesthetic Pearl, designed to look pretty and nothing else, unlike some Pearls with utility features, Lilac Pearl is simply there for beauty. She was owned by Chalcedony from the moment she was formed, made to be Chalcedony's Pearl, she is extremely loyal to her. Despite this, Chalcedony's strange behavior, or at least, strange for an aristocratic member of Blue Diamond's court, often confused Lilac Pearl. Chalcedony would always ask her what she wanted to do, what she would like, and it was hard for Lilac Pearl to quite grasp that her opinion mattered to Chalcedony. As well as Chalcedony's insistence that Lilac Pearl's outfit be her own choice, and not Chalcedony's choice, the general atmosphere between the two was one unlike most relationships between a Pearl and their owners.
She and Iolite came along with Chalcedony to the planet when Chalcedony renounced Homeworld, the extreme end of what had so far, to Lilac Pearl, been the strangest ownership she had ever had. Especially the day when Chalcedony insisted she was no longer her Pearl, a day that, at first, Lilac Pearl was convinced that Chalcedony was abandoning her or going to shatter her. But in the end, it was truly meant as a gesture of freedom. Lilac Pearl wasn't suddenly not Chalcedony's friend and companion, but she no longer owned her, and that is and was still a very hard concept for Lilac Pearl to grasp. She still often acts as Chalcedony's Pearl, not yet adjusted to being a free Gem, even after all the time spent off Homeworld.
Lilac Pearl became intensely interested in the creatures on this new planet, non Gem life forms being nonexistent on Homeworld, Lilac Pearl loves animals and everything about how unique and special each one is. Each of them is their own individual, even the ones that look identical, and that was the most amazing thing to her, and is slowly helping her cope with being a free Gem, watching the independence of the creatures on their world. She takes care of them and keeps them in her section of the castle, though she always makes sure to ask permission, the castle garden belongs to her and Citrine, so Chalcedony insists that it's up to her and Citrine to decide what can be in the castle or not.
Lilac Pearl has the closest relationship with Chalcedony, being her Pearl, she looks to her for advice and directions, no matter what Chalcedony insists she do. She always obeys her orders, but she genuinely does enjoy her company, even if it's still foreign to her to not just be Chalcedony's Pearl. Her relationship with Iolite is second closest, especially considering how Iolite was the only other gem with her and Chalcedony originally, and the only other Gem that understands what it means to have been owned. Iolite may have adjusted better to freedom, but she still understands Lilac Pearl's issues well, and enjoys listening to her talk about her animals, and studying them. Lilac Pearl shares the castle garden with Citrine, and also shares a love of the wildlife of the planet they're on, though Citrine prefers plants to the animals, they understand each other's passion and have a close bond. Ammolite and Lilac Pearl would seem to be at odds at first, with Ammolite's brash personality, but her fellow understanding of being a Gem made to look pretty means the two share quite a lot in common, and Lilac Pearl understands what she's going through well enough, though she doesn't feel uncomfortable in her role, just the opposite. Her relationship with the newest Gem, Taaffeite, is strange. Taaffeite often is a very good friend, helping her when she isn't feeling good and cheering her up, but Taaffeite's extreme resistance to Homeworld roles and the idea of being a Pearl means that Taaffeite often makes her uncomfortable with her insistence that Lilac Pearl isn't just a Pearl, and she doesn't need to be a Pearl if she doesn't want to. But in the end, she's still friends with all of them.
Lilac Pearl has no weapon, as a beauty only Pearl, she is there exclusively for show.
