Obsidian is a Homeworld Gem and a subordinate of White Diamond. She was created by Lenhi.
Description
Obsidian was made eons ago for White Diamond in order to assist in expanding the Gem empire by surveying newly discovered celestial bodies in order to evaluate whether or not they are viable as potential colonies or material mines. She is one of few remaining Obsidians made from the original template, and, as a result, has a higher status and more abilities than other, newer varieties of Obsidian.
