Chocolate Tahitian Pearl (Facet-1G1P Cabochon-3XI) is a Pearl given to Leuco Sapphire. She currently resides on Earth.
Appearance[]
Chocolate Tahitian Pearl is tall and lithe as many other Pearls tend to be. Her skin is ash-black, with darker colour on the fingers of her hands, as well as her left wrist, and between tan-ish gold coloured bands on her arms. There are two bands on her left arm, one much larger than the other, with one black strip between them, and one small band on her right arm at the top of a larger section of black. On her right hand is a triangular section of tan-ish gold that has its base on the top of her wrist, and meets in a point between the middle and ring finger. She has a pointed, downturned nose, and rounded, chocolate-brown eyes. Her hair is also chocolate-brown, and is pulled back in the front by a large blue headband, two long sections of hair framing either side of her face, and in the back, her hair appears pointed, but curves upward, with a few loose strands spiking out and drooping. She wears what looks to be a light rose-tan puff-sleeved shirt, with the cuffs of the sleeves coloured white and flaring outward slightly. While the collar appears to be t-shirt style and is the same colour as the rest of the shirt, there is a white patch on her chest that makes it appear as though she is wearing a white t-shirt underneath an extreme scoop-neck collar. Her gem is situated in the centre of the collar. A thin red ribbon tied into a bow on her back separates her torso and her lower body. An ocean blue waist-cape with sky-blue rim and outward-curling coattails drapes outward over a pair of black-brown leggings. She wears tall white boots which split into three points at the front top like a crown, or the top part of a star. Behind these points, it simple goes straight around like a normal boot. In the back of the top, sky-blue bows are attached to rose-tan sections in vaguely triangular shapes. The points of the front of the boots are accentuated with a rose-tan crown-like shape in the centre of the points. Beneath this, rose-tan rounded shapes cover the fronts of the boots to the tips of the feet, stopping short of the toe area.
Personality[]
She’s nervous and meticulous, which tends to make her seem very slow because she likes to think out most of her actions. She’s constantly on edge and worried she may displease or upset Leuco Sapphire or someone else. Her cautious nature also links to her technical prowess as she can handle some programming work and finds enjoyment in it. She also feels strange being treated with importance, being that she’s a Pearl. She enjoys receiving compliments but gets flustered somewhat easily because of this. However, she has a habit of reflecting compliments when she receives them, making her well-known for some pretty good and frequent compliments. She’s also quick to make and laugh at jokes, which is one of the few things she doesn’t tend to treat with too much caution, though this can also be considered a negative, as she doesn’t always completely consider what might be offensive or uncomfortable. She is also incredibly protective, and can even be intimidating if she feels the need to be. She’s prone to the classic trope of making threats and referring to them with ‘it’s not a threat, it is a promise’. When she gets threatening, she’s also liable to speak far quicker, with more emphasis, and more confidently. She also will call the threatened an ‘ignor’ (as a shortening of ‘ignorant’ or ‘ignoramus’) or ‘dunce’. Although often too cautious and overthinking, when it comes to fighting, she can be reactive and nimble, and when it comes to dancing, she can be quick and adaptable when it is familiar to her. She can also struggle to keep up with or catch on to things. She finds enjoyment in entertainment like television and books. Leuco's influence on her leads to her enjoyment of snow and water.
History[]
She was given to Leuco Sapphire as a servant. Like, that’s about it. Leuco told her she wanted her to be her friend instead of her servant and that was about the most significant thing to happen to her.

Relationships[]
Bumblebee Jasper[]
Bumblebee and Tahitian Pearl, surprisingly to some people, get along fantastically well, as Bumblebee gets a kick out of Tahi's puns and knock-knock jokes and absolutely adores them, and Tahi encourages Bumblebee's exuberant personality and antics, finding Bumblebee an absolute joy to be around. Tahitian Pearl is Bumblebee's go-to for intellect-based situations. Their bond is shockingly strong. Also, Tahi once drew Bumblebee out of her gem simply using a knock-knock joke. It was whale-executed...
Cat's-Eye Chrysoberyl[]
Although they do not interact much, Cat’s-Eye has notably shown mild exasperation towards Tahi, however, it’s generally based on feelings of being outclassed, being underintelligent, or just exasperation towards Tahi’s flirty nature, possibly from embarrassment.
Lazurite[]
Lazurite and Chocolate Tahitian Pearl are very close. They care deeply about each other and are, unfortunately, often flirting with each other without realising. They also frequently compliment and offer support to each other. Lazurite shares a similar romantic attraction to Chocolate Tahitian Pearl as with Leuco, and Chocolate Tahitian Pearl mostly returns these feelings, but neither of them talks about it nor really acknowledges it. Lazurite and Tahi enjoy spending time together, and Tahi enjoys trying to learn the things that interest Lazurite. Lazurite very commonly gives and refers to her with nicknames, to which she admitted it was "strange to feel this important" many times. They respect each other a great deal, and Tahi gives a strong positive opinion of Lazurite, especially in terms of their storytelling abilities and leadership skills.
Lepidolite[]
Lepidolite and Chocolate Tahitian Pearl can be either incredibly close pals working collaboratively and trying their best, or two rivals at a constant stalemate. Lepidolite can prove to be unwilling to listen to others at times, which leads to teamwork being a hassle, or even impossible. While Chocolate Tahitian Pearl never tries to stir anything up, things get stirred up anyway. But aside from that, Lepidolite enjoys similar things to Tahi, such as tea and technology, and they will often discuss calmly about things with teacups in their hands. They often cooperate to get twice as much programming or other technological work done twice as fast, complimenting and respecting each others' efficiency. On the other hand, they also have plenty of arguments, especially when it comes to talking about the programming they collaborated on; as Lepidolite can get overzealous and claim more ownership of the programming than she really has a right to, and Tahi absolutely cannot stand false claims of ownership. They are either working together, arguing, or chatting passive-aggressively.
Leuco Sapphire[]
Chocolate Tahitian Pearl was given to Leuco Sapphire significantly long ago to act as a servant after much loyal service to Homeworld. Leuco made it clear that she would prefer Tahi as a friend rather than a servant. Due to their interactions in this capacity, and Leuco's insistence of Tahi being no less than a friend, they are very close. Tahi, being a Pearl, doesn't generally have hobbies of her own and typically can be found alongside Leuco, participating in the same activities that she does. Leuco is shown to greatly respect Tahi, despite her rank. Unfortunately, Tahi had been in the habit of referring to Leuco as mainly "Your Clarity" And "My Sapphire", but luckily, it is a habit she has slowly been growing apart of. Tahi seems to harbour feelings toward Leuco, and Leuco does seem to return these feelings to some extent. Leuco is also rather protective of Tahi, as Tahi is to her.
Rhodochrosite[]
Alpha[]
Although they do not interact personally all that much, Chocolate Tahitian Pearl seems nearly the least afraid of Alpha. They interact positively, Rhodochrosite finding comfort in a lack of fear and treating Tahitian Pearl with great respect, as she sees it as a sign of courage and mental strength. She's very encouraging and enjoys seeing Tahitian Pearl's growth as a gem.
Omega[]
Unfortunately, of course, Omega views Tahitian Pearl as no better than her intended purpose: a servant, the lowest rank. Therefore, she views her as incredibly insignificant and often ignores her or simply brushes her off. If Tahitian Pearl proves to be a match for her power in any way, Omega will become enraged and twice as violent as before.
Seraphinite[]
Seraphinite and Chocolate Tahitian Pearl interact on a similar level to Bumblebee Jasper and Tahitian Pearl, enjoying each others' humours and jokes, and encouraging each others' behaviours. Seraphinite and Chocolate Tahitian Pearl also enjoy sparring with one another when the place is right, as Seraphinite being larger provides a challenge for Tahi and thusly leads to more growth in combat skill.
Dottie[]
Chocolate Tahitian Pearl is almost scared of Dottie after one too many incidents of being hissed and jumped at, but Tahi can't help but find Dottie cute when she (loudly) apologises every time she scares her. Dottie finds Tahi's brand of humour an absolute riot, and this is mostly not a good thing.
Elle[]
Elle finds Tahi absolutely hilarious, but accidentally condescends or patronises her. She has a bad habit of associating Tahi with her own former Pearl, and hasn't quite adjusted to the whole 'not-referring-to-the-Pearl-as-being-owned' thing.
Moss Agate[]
They get along well, although Moss Agate can act a bit too... maternal towards the Pearl. Or otherwise patronising.

Trivia[]
- Her interests apparently include "rom-coms, teen romance novels, doing backflips, and telling people 'maybe you should look it up'".
- Her favourite colours are colours that don't count as colours in certain circumstances.
- This means black and white; on the light spectrum, black isn't a colour, but rather the lack thereof, and white is a mixture of every colour as well as a lack of pigment.
- She also is noted as disliking people bringing up that they aren't colours; "This I know, but I simply think they're neat."
- Her Lumnikinesis is meant to be ironic, as her gem is nearly absent of light on terms of the colour spectrum, yet it can project light.
- Her dance style is the hustle.
- It's! SPHERICAL!
- When she drew Bumblebee out of her gem with a knock-knock joke, it should be noted that all she said was 'knock knock' before the Jasper reformed, but the rest of the joke was "Whalecome back."
- She knows a few other languages from Leuco and Lazurite.
