 * Alexandrite remains a mystery for everyone.

Alexandrites can be available in three colors, depending on the lighting of the place: Purple (Amethyst), green (Pearl's greenish-blue) and red (Garnet's violet crimson). Maybe the lighting of night (the only part of the day she appeared) in Fusion Cuisine caused her to have a more greenish palette, since when she was exposed to artificial lighting (when she was running to get the bus Steven and Connie were in) she had a totally more-red pallete. There's a common misconception about alexandrites and artificial lights. Alexandrites appear green in light mostly dominated by blues and greens, e.g. most white artificial lights (flourescent light) or pure (early morning to early afternoon) daylight. Alexandrites appear red in the presence of light dominated by reds and oranges, these include candle light, daylight during sunsets, or incandescent light bulbs (e.g. lightbulbs that glow light orange; street lights. Or purple if the two different light sources are present.
