Tourmaline is a Gem from Homeworld, now residing on Earth.

Backstory
Tourmaline was a Gem working for Yellow Diamond as a spy in the ranks of the Crystal Gems. Over time, however, she started to enjoy the Crystal Gems more than Homeworld itself. One day, after informing her Diamond on her mission in the Prime Kindergarden, she was found by Crystal Gem soldiers. They easily poofed her, which caused her gemstone to roll into one of the holes from the quartz soldiers. When this happened, the Diamond released their final attack, the Corruption Wave. Luckily, Tourmaline was protected from the blast due to being deep in the Earth. Later, she reformed to see Rose and the other Crystal Gems. She twisted the story in order to save herself from being poofed, and she was kept by the Crystal Gems. She decided to keep being a Crystal Gem anyways, and never tell the Diamonds that she survived.

Personality
Tourmaline is usually quite relaxed and calm. She is easily excitable, and loves to learn new things about Earth. Despite this, she enjoys battle and will usually charge in with few worries of the consequences. If made angry, she is a serious and deadly opponent, and will violently defend what she feels was offended or harmed. She feels incredibly passionate about fusion, and any comments made in disrespect to it will usually tick her off.

Appearance
Tourmaline enjoys the look of human clothing, so her form shows a simple dark green shirt-dress with a green cloth belt, and green leggings. She does not wear shoes.

Abilities
Standard Gem Abilities: Tourmaline has all normal gem powers, such as increased physical prowess, shapeshifting, poofing when her body is too damaged, bubbling, and weapon summoning.

Teleportation: Tourmaline can teleport short distances by absorbing her form into her gem, which will then quickly burst in the direction she wants to go, to which she will quickly reform.

Trivia
Tourmaline is the birthstone of October, along with Opal.

Tourmaline's love for fusion comes from her first fusion experience with another gem, and her lack of physical contact due to guilt and being a Homeworld Gem.

Tourmaline shares a close bond with Garnet out of all the other Gems.
