Gem Hardness - Shai can harden their skin much like a gem. Which increases their natural defense quite a lot. This however can only increase the defense to that of their natural gem lapis lazuli in Shai's case.
Gold Manipulation - Shai naturally produces gold from their body. They can manipulate the gold around. But also they can also harden the gold and even use that to patch up their skin.
Personality: Shai is a very calm and quiet person who tends to keep to herself a lot. Despite her quietness, Shai can be affectionate when she wants to. And most would probably call her a creative and generous soul. She's confident in who she is compared to before, as she at one point was accused of being a liar or having no true sense of self. Now, she doesn't allow herself to focus on the opinions of what others think of her and instead focuses on herself and her child that she has to take care of.

Shai I &
Shai IIHistory: Shai grew up in a fairly stable household with parents that were happily married pair and an older brother who teased her on occasion. Her mom being much like them as they had no natural secondary gender when they presented. The same could be said for Shai as well. When she became of the age where her secondary gender presented, she presented as all three and produced unnatural scents that would confuse those who interacted with her as they never smelled the same. So much so, that this confusion unknowingly angered those around them, calling her a freak of nature for at that time, it was uncommon for people to present as all three or even two secondary genders. It's also why when this happens, these same people are classified as "Unknowns".
Shai accepted this but thought the idea of being an "Unknown" was demeaning. She wanted to be more than that and it's lucky for her she had a supportive family. Her parents made sure she felt love despite the confused bullying she received from other people. And seemed like Shai was being very responsive to the support. To the point, they even got into a relationship with a nice more charismatic guy. Which their mom in particular thought it may be too soon for her daughter to seek a mate. For the most part, the relationship went well. Her dad due to the seeming recovery decided to put Shai into a self-defense class. And her mom continued to comfort them after. But also decided they should try an outdoor activity with just them. Which when they do it would help. But many times their boyfriend would schedule to do things that end up the same thing instead.
Soon enough Shai became pregnant and her parents were disappointed that this happened. Especially Shai's mother who was hesitant on the idea of her daughter finding comfort in who she felt was an immature young man who wasn't serious. Her father was just frustrated that she wasn't more careful. Due to this, she ran away from them with her boyfriend. Who also ran away. She realized this mistake upon telling her boyfriend about her pregnancy who didn't believe the child was theirs so he began to beat Shai and make her out to be a liar to others that would listen to him. So soon after they scrambled to run away. Being found looking like a wreck. Sent to the hospital and moved back with her parents who apologized. Staying with them as they build Shai back up. Supporting her as they helped Shai raise their child, which was a girl she named Liron. Once she got back up on her feet, Shai eventually moved out of her parent's home to fully support and take care of herself and her daughter. She will always be grateful for their help but she also needs to set an example for her child by providing a good life for them.
