Antarcticite

Antarcticite, also called 'Antarc', is a Gems in charge of work during the winter. Due to the gem's unique composition, they spend much of the year asleep in liquid form, re-crystallizing when the temperature drops. The colder the temperature, the stronger they become. They usually patrol with Kongo-sensei while the rest of the Gems enter hibernation though they were paired up with Phosphophyllite for a short period of time when the latter refused to hibernate. During this time, they were taken by the Lunarians at the Shore of Nascency. Antarcticite has a white color scheme with tints of blue in their eyes and hair. They wear a white version of the winter uniform, which includes white shorts and a vest over a short-sleeved shirt along with a black tie. They wear black curved top-line ankle boots with stiletto heels and short black gloves. They have narrow eyes. Their hair is styled very short, with their bangs being made of longer strands with one long prominent one being in their face generally. Their hair is parted to their right with side swept bangs. Unlike the other gems who use an ordinary sword, Antarc's blade is saw-like with sharp teeth for cutting into ice. They also have stiletto heels on their boots to help in this endeavor. They also use the sword as a snowboard during fighting. Antarcticite is a perfectionist who acts like a soldier, marching and speaking with extreme formality, giving them a cold, almost apathetic aura. They are used to working alone, as all the other Gems hibernate during the winter when there is not enough sunlight to feed them and keep them active. Though they become partnered with Phos, they have difficulty working with another Gem and often end up doing most of the work. They are similar to Bort in being very blunt and judgmental, but deep down they are soft and kind. They point out the flaws in Phos, stating that the latter should do more than they can do in order to improve. They are very fond of Kongo-sensei to the point of breaking their usually formal appearance in order to embrace him in a hug. They do not like to openly show this softer side though, blushing when they requested a hug in the first place, and being extremely embarrassed when caught in the act afterwards.
