You were a shadow kept behind a looking glass for only White Diamond's eyes to see. She sheltered you for your own good, as you were a gem of a darker shade. No, you were not a corrupt gem - not in the slightest. Though, your people on Homeworld considered you to be nothing but a myth - a Diamond covered in a shade of darkness. You were Black Diamond, an isolated gem that was never known to see the other bright and colourful gems that flourished on your planet. Was White keeping you hidden to prevent you from being rejected, or were you just needed to be kept under her shadow - composed of an overprotective cage? Everything would begin to change when you found yourself on Planet Earth and in the eyes of Crystal Gems. Can a gem that doesn't glitter so bright find acceptance. . . Or maybe love?
