Alias: Boulder 
Gender: Agender, she/her pronouns
Gem Age: Around 5, 600 years old.
Looks About: 30, probs.
Alliance: (Crystal Gems/Earth?Yellow Diamond?Other or Custom) She's a lone wolf, only occasionally helping the Crystal Gems every now and again until she eventually agrees to become part of the team. 
Weapon(s): A big pickaxe which only extends to its full size once it's outside of her gem, fully.

Appearance: Ugly as sin. She has a very bitter look to her with a constantly downturned mouth, narrow and tired looking eyes and a big nose. 
Build/OC Body Type: Her build is very thick carrying a ton of muscular weight on it. She is very top-heavy with average sized breasts, broad shoulders and thick arms and hands. She has no curves to her body but very long and muscular legs. 
Height: A couple of inches taller than Jasper.
Weight: N/A (probably rlly fucking heavy tho)
Skin Tone: Brown with grey undertones.
Eye Color: Mint green.
Hair Color: Blue.
Hair Style: Slicked back hair on top and straight long hair for the rest. Her hair is cropped and messy at the back with the two side pieces at the front being the only part of her hair that looks tidy.
Gem Placement(s): Left side of the chest, over her heart (her cold dead heart).

Attire: Skin tight light green turtleneck body suit with a darker green chest and a matching blue star and two curved stripes on each side, red boots and gloves.
Casual Wear: Baggy sports shirt with jogging suit bottoms.
Summer Wear: Blue knee length cargo shorts and a loose tank top.


Personality: Distant, angry, violent, non-sympathetic and non-affectionate, eventually caring. 
Overall: She's such a dick omg she rlly just needs someone to teach her how to feel.
Abilities: Weapon summoning, fusion, bubble gem shards (later down the line), project light from her gem to act as a torch, able to locate gem shards when her gem starts flashing.
Strengths: Her physical strength is really good, because of her lack of emotions she has no problem killing gem shards and hurting others.
Weakness(s): Emotionless and unable to detect emotions in other people making it difficult for her to understand other gems and humans, reckless and violent, bad with directions outside of shard hunting, mute most of the time since she doesn't know how to talk to others.
Likes: Being alone, shard hunting, listening to music (once Steven introduces her to it and she gets obsessed at one point), fusing with Ammo ('s gemsona).
Dislikes: Attention being solely on her in a crowd, Ammo (in the beginning), no routine, water. 
Hobbies: Bonding with Steven, listening to Steven play music, helping Greg wash cars (explained later) and learning about Gem history as well as human history from Pearl.
Talents: She can, uh.....idk she can balance 5 crisps in a tower on her nose.

Biography: (Will update later)
History: (History on the sheet above)
Place Of Birth: Earth in a mine.

Other:

Fan Fusions /w Names: Black Fire Opal (A fusion between Boulder Opal and Ammolite)
There will be a fusion between Boulder and Pearl I'll make soon but that's for later.
----------
Friends: Steven, eventually the Crystal Gems and later down the line, Ammo.
Enemies: Yellow Diamond, normal boulder opals.
Rivals: N/A
Relationships: She eventually forms some feeling for Ammo although she's unsure what it is. She gets easily suckered into wanting to fuse with Ammo more, wanting to learn more about it and also loving how it feels.
Interaction With Other Crystal Gems:
Garnet: Her relationship with Garnet was very rocky at the beginning. Garnet hated how Boulder crushed gem shards and was enfuriated and really upset that she didn't bubble them instead. Garnet eventually confronts Boulder on it to which Boulder just responds with a simple, "It's all I know". This gives Garnet the idea to teach Boulder how to bubble the shards instead of destroying them.
Pearl: Pearl, like most gems who know of boulder opals, was very scared of Boulder when she first caught wind of the gem being around Beach City. However, she did understand why Boulder did it but that didn't stop her from fearing the extremely tall gem. Somewhere down the future though, when Steven befriends Boulder, Pearl does start warming up to the gem but won't stay in the same room with her on her own.
Amethyst: Since both her and Boulder are defective gems with them not turning out like the other gems of their kind, Amethyst can relate to Boulder and does want to get close to the tall gem. She's frightened of her but not enough to stop her from trying to fight Boulder when she first sees her. Thanks to Garnet's stretchy arm ability, she gets dragged away from being possibly crushed. Later on when Boulder is with the Crystal gems on and off, she uses the tall gem to have fun with like playing pranks and basketball. Boulder and Amethyst have an unspoken bond and mutual understanding of one another which helps calm Boulder a lot of the time. 
Voice Actor: Idk. I never really thought about it since a lot of the time, Boulder doesn't rlly speak.
Theme Song: Either Power by Kanye West or Dark Storms by Our Last Night.
Quotes: (boulder grunts)

Trivia:

Steven introduces Boulder to his dad, Greg, and Boulder becomes fascinated with how his water and soap combination washes away dirt from the cars so much so that she actually ends up washing cars with Greg a lot now.

Boulder has a really long tongue that's really pointed. 

Because she can't sense what other people are feeling and is bad at picking up on social cues, Boulder doesn't feel when things get awkward when she and Pearl are alone together. It makes for a hilarious situation to outsiders.

She gets fascinated by small things like bobble heads, pinwheels and bubbles.

She has abandonments issues and resents her own kind for leaving her.
