SPHALERITE
He/They Pronouns
Mohs Hardness: 4 and 3
Nicknames: Sphae, Hale, or Phae
The third ever gem to be born, the original troublemaker - despite his age, he's considered an honorary delinquent. Though he has a low hardness, this fucker fears absolutely nothing. They're the teacher you never want to piss off, but they're actually very gentle in nature. They will only ever wear the winter uniform.
Somehow, they have teeth, unlike the other gems.
Sharp and made of Calcite, they require frequent maintenance, and he must speak quite carefully. If a tooth breaks, he completely forgets different words.
When they were born, they vehemently refused to let Kongo Sensei remove teeth.
Some stuff I didn't write on the drawing:
Sphalerite was the first gem teacher, and their first student was Blue Diamond- mainly because Blue was afraid of Kongo Sensei. After some trial and error, and a lot of help from Yellow Diamond, Sphalerite managed to teach Blue with their needs in mind- and gained a new purpose in the process.
