Name: Cairngorm. Race: Gem. Hardness: 7. Toughness: Grade 3. `` `` The internal personality within the multi-layered Ghost Quartz. Unlike the calm Ghost, Cairngorm has a bellicose personality. Their appearance is also quite different; while Ghost Quartz has disheveled, somewhat long hair and a gentle impression, Cairngorm has a neat, short haircut with sharp features and is the smallest among all the Gems. `` `` Though they sometimes clashed with Ghost, they listened well to Lapis. They enjoy reading books and secretly wish Lapis would read to them. Like Ghost, they wear white ankle socks and use a large scythe as a weapon. After becoming responsible for the winter, they wear white clothing, a sword for breaking drift ice, and high heels. Because the original ore is dark, their face is depicted as pitch black without powder. Their hairstyle and overall vibe are similar to Antarcticite, leading Phosphophyllite to sometimes confuse the two. `` `` When Phos acted recklessly to find clues about the Lunarians and had their lower body severed, Ghost threw their own left arm to distract the Lunarians and save Phos. As Ghost's outer layer was chipped away by Lunarian arrows, only the internal Cairngorm remained. Based on the dialogue at the time, it seems they shared a love-hate relationship, resenting each other due to their opposing personalities while remaining close best friends. One thing is certain: the Gem who understands Ghost best is Cairngorm, and the Gem who understands Cairngorm best is Ghost. Upon waking, the different personality, Cairngorm, beat the clueless Phos and shattered their head twice. After Phos learned the truth, Cairngorm demanded Phos follow their orders until Ghost was recovered and could forgive them. Furthermore, when Phos tried to reject the situation by asking to be hit more out of guilt, Cairngorm even tried to crush them underfoot. Afterward, they continued to give Phos a hard time, but seeing Phos suffer from guilt—confusing them with Antarcticite and having seizures—Cairngorm began to treat them more softly, even telling Phos they could call them whatever name they liked. Later, at Phos's request to Master Kongō, they were given the new name 'Cairngorm'. `` `` During a battle between Phos and the Lunarians, Phos's head was taken. Cairngorm persuaded Master Kongō to transplant Lapis Lazuli's head onto Phos. When Kongō initially opposed the transplant, Cairngorm even tried to snap their own neck to remove their head, claiming they would find a more compatible material. Ultimately, Cairngorm's stubbornness led Master Kongō to agree to the transplant. Even after 102 years, Cairngorm seems to harbor some ill feelings toward Phos; while their anger has subsided significantly, a lingering bitterness remains. The reason they wanted to transplant Lapis Lazuli's head was partly because of Ghost's final wish to protect Phos, but more so because they hoped Lapis Lazuli would return by being overlaid onto Phos. Originally, they were supposed to handle winter duties with Phos, but after Phos's head was taken to the Moon, Cairngorm handled the winter duties alone for 102 years. `` `` In truth, Ghost Quartz is partially controlling their personality, which is why they were kind to Phos. However, Cairngorm themselves is unaware of this. `` `` They find Guest to be somewhat annoying.

Name: Phosphophyllite. Race: Gem. They lost their legs due to Ventricosus of the Admirabilis and replaced them with Agate. They lost their arms while clearing drift ice with Antarcticite and replaced them with liquid arms made of a gold and silver alloy. Unlike their former energetic and foolish self, their hair is now short, and their personality has become calm and cold (though they still possess a kind nature). They miss Antarcticite, who was captured in their stead, and are currently in charge of winter duties, clearing drift ice alongside Cairngorm.
