"Tell me pearl, what exactly is a Steven?" White diamond is growing tired of her efforts. The other diamonds are too weak. Blue is growing attached to her human zoo, pink is nowhere to be found and yellow's temper keeps getting the best of her. Even worse, homeworld's greatest warriors are easily being beaten by "Stevens". She decides the only solution is to fight fire with fire...to fight half-gems with half-gems.

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?

So i've been a fan of SU since it started and i've seen a lot of OCs for it, and have even made some myself. So, since I know a lot about the show, i'm going to try and give you people out there some advice on making an OC if you're planning to. I know people probably won't read this, but hey, I tried, and this is mostly for friends anyway.

This is a fanfic of Steven universe.This is before Steven Universe. White Diamond is waiting for first gem to emerge Enjoy!
