Hey guys, this is one of my gem OCs, Pyrite. She lives among humans in a small town in Flint Hills, and goes by the name "Lauren" to keep people from finding out that she's a gem. She does
that because she doesn't wanna have to deal with legal issues associated with not being human.
note: the thing sticking out of her vest is a tie which she is wearing incorrectly, hence it being bunched up weirdlyWhen introducing herself to humans, she says her full name is "Lauren Z. Pyrite". I chose that name because of Lauren Zuke, that one storyboard artist for SU who draws Amethyst with super floofy hair. Lauren Zuke is amazing.
I plan to tell Pyrite's full backstory in an oekaki comic, so don't ask about it yet please. (can't start it yet anyway because I can't figure out how to get pen pressure to work on the oekaki!)
How does she look?
Hi Hohki, I think that sounds really good. I love how you referenced Lauren Duke in your character.
I can't wait to read your comics! I will faithfully await them!

Its also interesting how you chose an iron instead of a gem.
!! thank
I wasn't really thinking about it being an iron sulfide at the time I chose the mineral for her lol. Any mineral is fair game as far as I know, and I thought Pyrite was less likely to become a canon gem. Just in case a pyrite happens in canon, her backstory is specifically set up so that she's already not doing what pyrites are made for and there's an explanation for it and everything already sorted out.
You may have to wait a while for the comics, because as I said, I can't figure out how to get pen pressure to work on oekaki.
