Character Name: Spinel
Canon: Steven Universe
Canon Point: Right after Spinel gets her memories back
History: Here.

Personality:
Spinel is a fun-loving gem and Pink Diamond's playmate. She loves games, she loves making people laugh, especially Pink Diamond, with her cartoony antics. When Steven reset Spinel's memories by using her Rejuvenator against her, she latched onto him as her "best friend". To her, friendship means a lot of physical affection, lots of play, and trying to get her best friend to laugh by goofing off or singing and dancing. She treats serious situations like a game too, because she doesn't know any other way to interact with the world. Her entire purpose is supposed to be fun and games. For example, when Steven is about to cry because he doesn't know how to save the world from Spinel's Injector, Spinel immediately tries to cheer him up by acting silly instead of acknowledging the stress that Steven feels.

Spinel's world revolved around Pink Diamond. She was there when Pink Diamond was given her own planet. Spinel was delighted, because it meant a new place to play with her best friend, Pink Diamond. Pink tells Spinel they're going to play a game, which involves Spinel standing very still in the garden. Pink Diamond leaves her behind to go to Earth, and Spinel never leaves her spot for the next 6,000 years. Spinel's game ends when she learns through a transmission that Pink Diamond never planned on coming back for her, that she no longer exists, and now all that's left is her son - Steven Universe. It's then that she realizes the truth, that she'd be left behind for thousands of years waiting for someone who had abandoned her. Spinel's gem turns upside down, she loses her heart-shaped pigtails, and she gets black lines down her face that resemble tears. Spinel's fun and happy personality was replaced by bitterness and jealously. Her need for revenge is what drives Spinel to go to Earth with her Injector, intending to destroy the planet and ruin Steven's life forever.

Spinel develops a short temper after her transformation. She's always on edge, looking for the meaning in between what people say. She wants to hurt Steven, because it's her only way of lashing out at Pink Diamond for abandoning her. When Steven convinces Spinel to remove the injector, he says afterwards that they can go back to forgetting this incident ever happened. Spinel however, interprets this as Steven abandoning her. After all, Steven can't forget what happened and have his happy ever after with Spinel around. And after Steven accidentally drops Spinel's Rejuvenator, she assumes the worst. She thinks Steven is going to use it on her to erase her memories so she can go back to being the fun and cute Spinel again. She doesn't give Steven a chance to reason with her. After all, it's easy to assume the worst when she's been betrayed and left behind by the person she trusted most. Now, she has trust in no one.

Spinel also develops a fear of being abandoned, which she shows several times with Steven. She panics when Steven talks about forgetting the Injector incident, assuming that Steven is going to leave her on her own. Similarly, even with her memories erased, she still refuses to leave Steven's side. She even gets angry at Steven when he tries to make her stay. It shows that Spinel has a really hard time being alone, that she knows what loneliness feels like and never wants to experience it again.

Spinel sees herself as a bad person and has a low opinion of herself. When Steven helps Spinel get her memories back, and reintroduces her to the Crystal Gems, she's hesitant because she's not sure if they'll like her in her current form. She's also hesitant about meeting the Diamonds for that exact reason. She started off as cute and innocent, and then became vengeful and bitter - so much so that it altered her form. She gets angry at Steven for telling her she can change, because he changes for the good, but Spinel will always change for the worst. She calls herself "no good" while fighting Steven. She feels like people like her better as the old Spinel, the fun and innocent one, and that no one will love her as the gem she is now, because she's "bad" now.

Still, Spinel is given a second chance when Steven introduces her to the Diamonds. The Diamonds are thrilled with Spinel, knowing that she was once Pink Diamond's friend, and invite her to live with them. Spinel agrees, and her broken heart is mended a little by having someone who wants her.

Samples
RP Sample: Dear Player post.
Victory Road Sample:

[The feed cuts to a close up to Spinel, who's currently grinning. It's hard to see, but if you look close enough you can see her Zorua in the background.]

Heeeeellooooo Johto!

[She gives an enthusiastic little wave.]

So me and Obsidian here came up with a new trick! And we wanna show it to ya! Watch this!

[And with that, Spinel sets the camera down where it can still record her. While trying to stay in frame, she does a handstand. Her Zorua, Obsidian, proceeds to climb up Spinel, until he reaches her feet in the air. He balances himself on top of her feet, and then stands on his own hind-legs.]

Ta-daaaaa! What do you think? It's cool, isn't it? We've practiced all morning!

Canon Resource Links: Here we would have the links to wikis and other information sites. If none of those seem to provide enough information, feel free to add more about the character here. However, please do not use this section as a full history section unless your canon is ridiculously obscure. General rule of thumb: if there are a good amount of descriptive resources, please just link them and use this section to add in what may have been left out, as opposed to writing an entire history section.

Personality: Give us at minimum 2-3 full paragraphs of how you understand your character's personality. Talk about basic characteristics, any major developments over the course of their canon, their motives, their social behavior, strengths and weaknesses, and anything else you can think of that shows off your knowledge of this character.

Pokémon Information
Affiliation: What career path will your character be taking? Breeder, Trainer? Or maybe even down the dark path of becoming a member of Team Rocket? Note: All Rocket members start as grunts. (For right now, only those three positions are available, whether your character chooses to follow their assigned path or not.)
Starter: What starter Pokémon do you want your character to have? Please use the list linked above to choose from. Certain Pokémon have an orange star next to their names; if you choose one of these starters (Deino, Zorua, Litwick, Pikachu, Scyther, Dratini, Bagon, Gible, Axew, Ralts, Riolu, Beldum, Larvitar, Eevee, or Beldum) you must provide reasoning. You do not need to explain your reasoning for Pokémon other than those listed above.
Password: This is where you'll put the passwords from the Rules and the F.A.Q. There are two words, to assure you've read both.

Samples
RP Sample: The sample must be a thread, with at least five comments from you, that you have made anywhere with this character in the last four months at the canon point you have chosen for said character. Linking to a post or log containing multiple threads will also suffice, as long as at least one of the threads has the required number of comments. This thread sample can be in any format (e.g. network post, prose log, actionspam, Dear Mun post, and so on). While it does not have to be set in Victory Road's setting, you can use a Victory Road test drive thread for this sample, as long as it's a different thread than one used for the second sample below. What we are looking for here is grasp of your character's voice and a sense of how you operate as a role-player. If we feel that the sample provided is not adequate, we reserve the right to ask for another.

Victory Road Sample: This sample must take place in Victory Road's setting and can be EITHER a written post OR another thread if you would prefer not to write a post. The minimum is 300 words for a prose sample, eight sentences for a network post/actionspam sample, or ten comments total (five from you) in an RP sample. What we are looking for here is how the character responds to the Pokéworld's setting. You can also use a Victory Road test drive thread for this sample, but you cannot use the same thread for the first sample above.
