Pyrope is a Homeworld Gem, and an original character that appears in Unleash the Light.

Appearance

Pyrope has an appearance similar to that of other Pyropes, as she is tall and slim with short hair and a red color scheme. She has a pink complexion with two dark pink eyes, no nose, and full lips. Her hair is in a tall and poofy updo, being a deep red color. Her gemstone is on her navel and is red.

She wears a pink and cherry red large gown with long geometric sleeves, very dark red leggings, and very light pink boots with small Pink Diamond insignias on them.

Personality

Pyrope acts in a cheerful yet snobbish manner and had a very high opinion of herself, which made sense considering her former status in Homeworld's Empire. According to Hessonite she could be easily distracted to the point of immediately abandoning a task when something else got her attention and could also be oblivious to information that was clear to others. She firmly believed all Gems needed a ruler and were lost without one.

Abilities

Pyrope possesses standard Gem abilities, bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.

Unique Abilities

• Handheld Fan Proficiency: Pyrope can summon a handheld fan from her gemstone, and she is skilled when wielding it.
