Chrome Diopside is one of the first Crystal Gem that rebelled against Homeworld. She is "Best Friends" with Star Lemon Quartz, ifyouknowwhatImean. She has healing powers and a gem located on her forehead. She's the unofficial SIC of the CG's. Chrome Diopside is also one of the smartest Crystal Gems and her weapon is a staff.

No offense, but these gemsonas sound like carbon copies of Rose and Pearl. Why don't you try changing some stuff around. Get creative and stuff.
We needed a Rose type figure with a shield, I know Star Lemon wanted a different weapon but took the shield put of necessity for story, and chrome diopsideplaced is typically placed on the forehead and I just couldn't think of a weapon, that's why they sound like copies I assure you that they aren't carbon copy characters with different gems.
I didn't necessarily mean that they are carbon copies. I'm sure you had a specific personality for them that's distinctly different from Rose and Pearl, but you described them almost exclusively using terms and phrases that could just as easily apply to Rose and Pearl.
I would still change some things around if possible because the similarities are appalling, but if your dead set on the characters as they are, add more details to differentiate them. Don't just say she's the smart one of the group with a spear and is "best friends" with the leader because that could just as easily be describing Pearl.
The most important thing is creativity. It's not hard to make your character more unique. Go online and look for a cool weapon that's not already used by a canon character, imagine a cool power that no one else in the show has. Remember, the person reading this post doesn't know about your character so you want to let them know that even if you're using aspects of a character, you're not straight up copying them.
OOC: Good to see ya.

In the temple, Star Lemon is meditating by the warp pad
Chrome warps in with a bubbled gem after poofing it
"Oh, hello Star. I expected you to be in the city talking with humans as you usually do."
"Hello Chrome. I was meditating, I see that you took care of another corrupted gem. I so wish we could find a way to heal them, I know that you're the first step."

"Remember, this corruption was done to their minds, I heal can heal physical ailments, not mental."
"I know. After you put that corrupted gem away, do you want to go to town with me?"
