Bismuth

Bismuth is a Metal from Homeworld. Although a triplet and sibling to Lead and Thallium, Bismuth is the complete opposite of her siblings. A motherly figure to most of the Metals, she is constantly worrying about the others and caring for them. She has some healing powers and is able to change colours in warmth and light, from dull grey colours to vibrant array of colours.

Biology
Bismuth is a rather tall being although quite short for a Metal. She stands approximately the same height as Rose Quartz. She resembles her siblings, although curvier and more geometric. In cooler temperatures she matches the other Metals' dull colour schemes, however she gains vibrant colours in the sunlight or warmth. She wears a dress that has many layers stacking vertically, each a different colour. A belt around her waist contains the alchemical symbol for bismuth. She has short purple hair, brought back by a headband although two curls on either side come to the front. She wears high heeled boots.

Biography
Bismuth was constantly caring for others for her entire life, acting as a motherly figure to them. Most didn't mind this, sometimes concerned that she was worrying herself too much. However, she carried with her the burden of being one of the triplets, her two siblings being Lead and Thallium. Both of her siblings considered her to be a "goody two shoes", although Bismuth would later on proof how much fight she had in her. She became protective of her species when the Gems attacked and joined the fight against them in a way no one had thought she was capable of.

She survived the Takeover, her guilt racking up as most of her species had been destroyed. She attempted to care for those left, trying to keep them together but the others spread out in their ways across the cosmos. She gained a bit of hope that there were more survivors and went looking for them, Iron accompanying her sometimes. She eventually made it to Earth, meeting Rose Quartz and her resistance to protect Earth from the Gems. Bismuth offered to help fight against Homeworld.

However this is the last anyone has heard from her.

Behind the Metal
Bismuth is a transition metal and element in the periodic table. It closely resembles lead in its normal state and was often mistaken for it. Bismuth however is non toxic and is the healthier alternative to lead. Most people associate this metal with its geometric spirals and rainbow colours. However this is a man made alteration, as one needs to heat bismuth until it melts and wait for it to cool off, creating the spirals. It exists otherwise as a colourless state like other metals.
