Heroes

Diamond Gem’s disembodied mentor. Respected female super who died years ago, maybe at the hands of Ambassador Bell.

Sanguine Sisterhood Alternate versions of the girls from a high-magic version of Earth. Bell calls them the "creepy wizard chicks."

• Ms. Mercury Elemental Essence!
• Stone Immortal Wizard-Warrior!
• The Surgeon Blood-Fueled Healer!
• Princess Power Visitor from Another Realm!

Villains

Ambassador Bell Bell’s older self. She killed Diamond, worked for Aegis, did a lot of stuff.

Locations

Gem’s Hidden Base (with Security System)

It's rundown a bit due to 8 years of no repair, but Gem is working on getting everything functional-ish. The security system was the easiest, as it already had some self-repair properties. The lounge, at least, is nice with mis-matched old sofas and thick quilts that Gem picks up at the occasional yard sale.
