What happens when you fuse a Pearl, an Aquamarine, and a Lapis Lazuli?

Bianca Blu Lazuli!

Made by Blue Diamond to assist in Cosplay/Costumed Events all over the Continental US, Bianca Blu started as an information gatherer; going to conventions to find the best/worst aspects of this exclusive community, and report them to Homeworld. After just a few short years, they found themselves attached to humanity; the art, the songs, the sense of community; and decided to loan their experience to the one-of-a-kind Gem of a Convention: Empire City Con!! An expert on information systems, crowd control, and public service, Blu is always there to assist anyone, gem or human!

It’s what they were made for!

Desi is a frazzled college student from North Carolina. A bio and psych double major pre-med student rarely finds themselves with free time but during this rare occasion she can be found reading, trying out all kinds of art, FaceTiming her birds, or in a creek somewhere catching Things. As an overpowered extrovert, Desi is more than happy to strike up conversations and offer help or company to anyone that needs it!
