History
Roughly 50 years after the war ended, one more new Gem emerged from the Beta Kindergarten--Carnelian. She incubated longer than she was meant to, resulting in a smaller form, and her exit hole indicates that she emerged sideways.

Carnelian spent the first 100 years of her life wandering around, confused and wondering about her purpose. She had no Gems to talk to, and humans were unwelcoming to her. Eventually, she found a group of humans who were more hospitable and learned what they had been telling their children for the past few generations--legends about Gemkind and the great war that broke out across all lands. It didn't take long for Carnelian to learn that she herself was a Gem--and quite possibly one of the last, as far as anyone knew.

Carnelian didn't want to accept the idea of being the only one of her kind. So, she began searching the world for evidence that she was not. She soon discovered that the monsters--which she previously considered to be like animals--were actually the same kind of thing as a Gem, but that was surely not what she was looking for and she continued her search for a long, long time.

If only she'd known about the Crystal Gems, she might've been able to find them. But she didn't, what horrible luck.

So, for a long time, Carnelian only had humans to talk to. She became depressed, as her search for other Gems seemed hopeless. One day, around 300 years ago, she gave up. She decided she really was the only one left and went off to explore the world as a traveler, rather than as a searcher. She found that she was happier this way, and truly began to appreciate the Earth as she finally began to really pay attention to it and not just to her goal.
