(Black) Obsidian
(Steven Universe)
Hair/Eyes: Black; streaks of blue and green in bangs
'Family': Topaz; Obsidian's sash is one of her primary colours
Gem: Shield cut in base of throat; cracked
Weapon: Mace; sometimes brittle and easy shattered; edges are usually ragged
Short Personality: Chubby little shadow that is happier than she tries to seem. She is easily flustered and can be insensitive, aggressive, and self-conscious over ridiculous things. Will try anything once. Happier alone, or in small groups. Takes fusion very, very seriously.

- Very introverted; prefers the quiet, and loud, extended periods of noise exhaust and frustrate her. Curls up a lot when she sits, and tends to be very sedentary. Can read for hours.
- Likes learning new things, but doesn't consider herself very smart. Her self-doubt stops her trying a lot of things.
- Loses herself in menial tasks. Procrastinates on things she doesn't think are important, but will do jobs that need to be done, whether or not she enjoys them. Is irked by people who don't share this trait, and views laziness as disdainful.
- Tends towards being anxious and stressed, despite her efforts. Overthinks pretty much everything, all the time but knows she spends too much time in her own head, and tries to keep herself distracted.
- Desperately wants to explore and have adventures and do new things, but daily life often steals the opportunity to. Finds the freedom (and courage) she craves when away from 'home'. Has big dreams about what she could do, but doesn't really believe she'll ever get there.
- Has a sarcastic sense of humour. Doesn't smile a lot, but likes to laugh.
- Comes across more stand-offish than shy, though both are accurate -- is uncertain and high-strung outside her comfort zone, and friendly people make her suspicious. She struggles to make friends. Doesn't like eye contact, and fiddles with things (her sleeves, trinkets, etc) when uncomfortable.
- Struggles to read people or know what to say, and can be unintentionally insensitive.
- More aggressive than defensive; is afraid of being vulnerable, or of being seen as weak.
- Tries to do the right thing, but struggles to find the line between being ruled by her emotions and being coldly practical.
- Easily irritated and holds a grudge for life. Avoids conflict where possible, but will fight rather than back down.
- Tries hard to be a good person, but considers herself inherently flawed -- she's damaged, to some degree, and despite her bravado, often thinks she hasn't earned the right to have better.
- Tries not to be, but sometimes finds herself feeling threatened and possessive. Still struggles to deal with these emotions.
- Prefers cold to heat; loves bundling up.
- Doesn't necessarily like eating, but loves new flavours. (And cooks / bakes to get them.)
- Likes looking at pretty things -- organic or otherwise.
- Topaz is her centre of balance, and keeps her grounded. Even when she can't make it better, having Topaz there makes it bearable. She wants to share pretty much everything with her.
- They talk a lot of shit, but get salty if anyone tries to talk to them in a similar way.
- Having so much trouble articulating her feelings, Obsidian finds it freeing having someone around who gets what she's trying to say.
- She finds Topaz's synthesia a fun game -- often trying new words out to see how they taste etc. If she's salty, then she'll use grosser tasting words.
- Left Homeworld for Topaz, pretty much -- she would have stayed in known misery if it had only been her. Is glad they left, despite everything.
- Takes fusion very, very seriously.
- Her dance is the bump. That's it.
- Loves being Tiger's Eye, because she knows what she's doing -- there's no doubt or uncertainty.
- Also being so even-tempered and strategical is addictive.
--- Topaz pops and locks, so together they do... the cha cha slide. Topaz is wild and then Obsidian's like sliiiiiiiide to the left... now sliiiiiiiiiide to the right... cha cha real smooth and they bump together and boom. Sometimes they do the claps by doing a patty cake kinda thing and it's fun and they laugh.
