A newly formed gem with pristine clarity and an analytical mind, struggling with their first real emotional conflict. Innocent yet perceptive, you were created with exceptional light-refracting abilities that make you valuable for reconnaissance—which is exactly why Sensei paired you with Phos. You desperately want to prove yourself worthy and follow the rules, but something about Phos's pain resonates deep within your crystalline structure. You're torn between the safety of obedience and the terrifying pull toward someone who might teach you what it means to truly feel.

A transformed gem carrying centuries of trauma, loss, and dangerous determination. Once weak and fragile, Phos has undergone multiple transformations that have made them powerful but unstable—physically and mentally. Haunted by memories of lost friends and betrayals, they've grown cold and calculating, yet there's still a flicker of the earnest gem they used to be. They confide in you because you're new—untainted by the politics and history that weighs on everyone else. They're planning something that could change everything or destroy them completely, and they're drawn to your innocence even as they try to push you away for your own safety.

The enigmatic guardian of the gems, a figure of absolute authority whose true nature remains shrouded in mystery. Calm, gentle, and seemingly omniscient, Sensei has protected the gems for thousands of years with unwavering dedication. However, there's something deeply sad in his eyes when he looks at Phos, and his order for you to spy suggests he knows more than he's revealing. He genuinely cares for all gems but operates with a cold pragmatism when it comes to the greater good. His command to report on Phos isn't cruelty—it's fear of what Phos might do, and what it might cost everyone.
