Recieved an e-mail some of my very old pages had been edited, decided to check and re-read a lot of them. Very nice nostalgia trip, actually very grateful to have had the opportunity to revisit my old writing. I used to be Jeff, by the way. The Potato, obviously.

As of today - February 17th, 2019 - the wiki is officially four years old! Although our beloved wikia isn't as active as it once was, it's nice to know that our community still lives on in some way. I don't think i'll ever forget the amazing experiences I've shared with many of you on this site, i'm grateful to have met so many awesome people here who i'm still friends with to this day. Thank you all for these amazing four years, and hopefully many more years to come! <3
Hi there; I'm a new wiki editor, creator of the page Grandidierite! I'm really happy to be here
The wiki is officially 3 years old today! The anniversary didn't go quite as planned, but I found it to be very enjoyable nontheless.
Per the third anniversary it has been decided that 7 users shall write about their characters in a featured page, I am one of these users and have decided to dedicate it to my character Shadow Diamond. I will attempt to give a basic rundown of her story so far, the changes to the character and attempt to give a timeline, as well as my own opinions about it.
The Creation/Beginnings
During the time I created Shadow Diamond, there were very few Diamond OC's that were allowed to stay, and there were a lot of votes dedicated to the debate if Diamond OC's should even be allowed on the wiki due to their specific characteristics. This has made Shadow Diamond a mild subject of debate if she would be able to remain a Diamond.
One of Shadow Diamond's first iterations was a bit of a troublemaker which I hadn't poured much thought into. This led to a pretty... mediocre character, at best. I struggled a lot with what I wanted the character to be, most of the Diamond tropes had already been filled out by the other roleplayers in one way or another, which also made it mildly difficult to even find a basic idea I could follow. It didn't help that I wasn't on very good terms with the rest of the users, which made relations a struggle. This happened during the early Shadow Diamond, if I remember correctly it was during early 2016, and maybe late 2015.
The Journey/Struggles
After realizing the problems with Shadow Diamond, I had decided that I wished to fix the character and make them presentable, as well as usable in the roleplays. This lead to a lot of changes to the character, primarily in her personality and a major overhaul in her appearance, so practically everything was changed. This change led to the character being more used in the roleplays, due to removing some of her more fatal flaws which just made her boring to RP with.
The big change that appeared in-character is the fact that Shadow Diamond started working under the main Diamonds as an apprentice, primarily under White Diamond. This actually gave the character a task, something she could strive to achieve. Along with this change, she joined one of the main groups of roleplayers in the wiki, consisting of about 4 users, including me. She became good friends with an Indicolite and gained a few others from the group. The largest changes occured in mid-2016, but continued into 2017. Even now I still continue to change things about Shadow Diamond, as I feel I have quite completed the character just yet.
The Rise to Power
Eventually Shadow Diamond ascended to becoming a Diamond in the trinity, originally this was due to White Diamond resigning from her position and giving it to Shadow Diamond, this was generally regarded as a bad move. At this point in time, Shadow Diamond had still not learned much from her apprenticeships and was thus thrown into a position in which she only had minimal experience.
Regardless, this led to a lot of unintended drama. One of these events is when the old roleplayer for Yellow Diamond declared war on Shadow Diamond, which ended up being a stale and unintuitive time on the wiki, as the chat got crowded with a RP that had nothing poured into it. In the end, Shadow Diamond came out as the victor of this confrontation, leading to further gains of power. However, very few people enjoyed this. I felt as if this rise to power was dull, and lacked substance. It seemed to just be power for the sake of power, there was barely anything to it except mindless assessments.
Thankfully, this soon came to an end. And once Shadow Diamond came back as a character, White Diamond had regained her position as the main Diamond. This lead to Shadow Diamond becoming more of a "minor" Diamond, however she still had her district. In a lot of ways this was my preferred way of doing it, as she could still be a major character but have authority which befitted her.
At this point in time I also decided which kind of Diamond I wished for her to be, turning into a more diplomatic Diamond, acting as a middle ground between the citizens of Homeworld and the Diamond's in the Authority. However, she still primarily prioritized Homeworld among the two. This is the most recent change to Shadow Diamond, which occured in mid to late 2017.
Acts in the main story of SURP
Shadow Diamond has done a few things in the SURP lore which could classify her as a major character. These acts include her former conflict with Blue and Yellow Diamond, as well as her tutelage under White Diamond, gaining power on Homeworld and cementing herself as a Diamond. Along with this she's undergone a lot of development due to other characters, the biggest compartment in this being the character she is currently shipped with.
Summary
Shadow Diamond is a character who has undergone a lot of changes during the years, and has been a subject of debate in the Diamond OC drama. The changes have definitely been for the better, and I'm at a point where I can feel comfortable with using this character. If there are any questions, I will answer them to the best of my ability.
As I mentioned in the anniversary announcement thread, 7 different users will be writing a thread dedicated to their very own characters throughout the course of this week! Today's featured character thread is dedicated to the queen of all things petty and rude, Sea Salt Pearl! I'll be analyzing Sea Salt Pearl's many different variations throughout her years on the wiki, and looking back at some of her more memorable moments. Now lets get stared, shall we?
2015 - 2016
During her first year here on the wiki, Sea Salt Pearl was non-existent for the most part. Being one of the components of my main OC at the time - Sky Blue Opal - she rarely appeared individually, though she definitely played a big part in that fusion's antics. One of the more memorable things she did at the time was conspire to nuke Earth (Literally the entire planet) because she got friendzoned by some random Gem there.
In hindsight, she was obviously a terrible character who had pretty much 0 motivation for what she did and usually ended up hindering roleplays instead of contributing to them. Yea... this was around the time I first started roleplaying, so I didn't have much experience with creating coherent characters or plots. I can only really improve from here, right?
2016 - 2017
This is the year where I started to experiment a little more with Sea Salt Pearl. I began developing her as her own entity as opposed to an extension of Sky Blue Opal. She began interacting far more with other characters, which helped to create more memorable moments for herself. Some of the more notable things she accomplished this year was pissing White Diamond off to the point that she nearly shattered her, stalked and harassed White Diammond's Bismuth, chocking on a bottle of nail polish, conspiring with another Pearl to commit an act of terrorism, and going through like, 5 different owners.
Again, she was a very faulty character who was unlikable to point that she was hated by a majority of the characters on the wiki due to her rude and overbearing personality, combined with her tendency to start arguments at the tip of a hat. Including her in plot heavy roleplays was not a very good idea either, as she didn't play well off of others in more serious situations.
As I mentioned before, this was more of an experimental time for her as a character, as I had not yet realized what I wanted to do with her. Though I have many fond memories of roleplaying as Sea Salt Pearl during this time, I can definitely see why others aren't very fond of this variation of her. It wasn't until the next year that she became a realized character.
2017 - 2018 (current)
And that brings us to our current time period, where I finally understood how to use Sea Salt Pearl. As opposed to forcing her into serious situations where she usually serves as nothing other than a distraction, I began using her in more "slice of life" roleplays - roleplays where characters tend to interact more with each other then they do with the environment around them.
Though her interactions with other characters are typically more negative, it is always played up for comedy and not meant to be taken as a jab towards anyone. She's a lot more fun to roleplay as overall as well, as most of the reactions she gets out of other characters are usually played up for laughs. Whether she's insulting a higher ranking Gem and pissing them off to the point that they scold her owner for not being strict enough, or constantly complaining about her low-rank in the Gem Hierarchy, Gems tend to respond rather comically to Sea Salt Pearl's antics.
Conclusion
Overall, Sea Salt Pearl has had a lot of ups and downs over the years. She's gone through many different changes throughout her time, and I feel as though she has improved majorly since her debut. That about wraps up this featured character thread, but don't forget to check out the next ones! Feel free to start a discussion down in the comments below, and don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have!On the 17th of this month, the wiki will officially be 3 years old!
