Appearance [1][]
Snowflake Obsidian is a tall, bulky, warrior-like Gem. She has a spiky white mane-like structure around her head, shaped similarly to the patterns scattered over her form, which mirror real-life snowflake obsidian. She has only one eye (possibly due to corruption) that's closed most of the time. She also has no nose. Her gemstone is embedded in the back of her right hand.
Her outfit consists of a black breastplate with shoulder pads, shorts in the same color, and boots. Her waist and thighs are uncovered.
Personality [2][]
Not much is known about her personality, aside from the fact that she seems friendly and can become easily panicked. Despite being a Crystal Gem ever since the war, she still retains some of the mindset she had when serving Homeworld, as she still wanted to do jobs similar to the one she was made for. She, like Bismuth, likes to make puns.
