I'm a freshly cut gem, straight out of the Kindergarten!

That is to say, i'm a brand new SU fan and spent the entire past week marathoning SU and I'm finally all caught up!

I think my introduction to SU was 'Stronger Than You' which showed up in my youtube feed. I liked the tune, so at a later date the orchestrated version of it showed up in my feed, and then I listened to the orchestrated version of Here Comes a Thought and I started listening to some of the SU songs and figured it was time to watch a few episodes of SU, with a hunch that it could be amazing, and it was!

I don't watch many cartoons these days and never expected this level of maturity, character development and story telling prowess in what looks at first glance like a children's cartoon.

My own personality is a bit of a mix between Lapis Lazuli (demeanour) and Peridot (intellect and also demeanor). And my favorite character (besides Steven) is Pearl because she's just so... multi-faceted (gem pun intended).

Also, I chose this nick trying to think of a type of gemstone and it was the first one I could think of, and when I looked up tiger's eye I really liked this description:

''Tiger’s Eye is a most ancient talisman, mysterious and powerful, revered and feared - an “all-seeing all-knowing eye,” thought to grant a wearer the ability to observe everything, even through closed doors. It was chosen by the Egyptians for the eyes in their deity statues to express divine vision, and was believed to provide the protection of the sun and earth combined, of Ra, the sun god and Geb, god of the growing land. Linked to the magical tiger, the king of beasts in Eastern mythology, Tiger’s Eye portrayed courage, integrity and right use of power. Roman soldiers carried it to deflect weapons and to be brave in battle. It has been highly regarded throughout history as a stone of prosperity and good fortune, protecting one’s resources and reflecting back malice or threats from others''

Thanks for reading this!
