Description
**Nephrite** is a male Pembroke Welsh Corgi Jewelpet. His amber fur covers his head and coat, contrasting with white on his body, inner ears, and muzzle. He possesses distinctive yellow-green or light pear-green Jewel Eyes crafted from nephrite. His signature accessories are a blue checked flat cap and a silver beaded necklace featuring a green diamond-shaped nephrite jewel, reflecting his namesake mineral motif. Physiologically, he stands out as the sole tailless member among the 12 canine Jewelpets, a trait true to his Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed.
His personality shifts significantly across the franchise. Primarily, he embodies cheerfulness and sociability, easily forming bonds; his speech often ends with "geroppa" or "Keropa!". He exhibits playfulness, showing enthusiasm for soul music and dancing. However, in "Jewelpet Kira☆Deco!", he adopts a darker persona as a mission-focused "cleaner-for-hire," parodying assassins. Here, he displays cold pragmatism, deliberately suppressing positive emotions like love, which he deems a weakness. This outlook falters when he develops feelings for Ruby, leading him to betray his ally Coal. To resolve the conflict, he erases all memories of Ruby. In "Lady Jewelpet", cynicism defines him, stemming from trauma after witnessing Lady Diana elope with Alto and abandon Luea; this makes him rude and distrustful. Partnered with Momona during a dog-walking initiative, he gradually reopens emotionally through her influence.
His magical abilities center on enhancing interpersonal dynamics. Representing Likeability and Teamwork, his powers improve human manners, foster leadership qualities, and enable effective collaboration. Contextually, these skills can promote solidarity, dynamism, or a good mood. Officially, his gem power enables individuals to "be liked by everyone" by demonstrating strong morals and leadership.
His history involves multiple partnerships. In "Jewelpet", he is the dedicated partner of Akira Nanase, aiding him in breaking a curse. He collaborates with Chite and Io in "Jewelpet Twinkle☆", forming an occasionally featured trio. During "Jewelpet Happiness", he assists Sapphie with her inventions and develops a romantic interest in her. His role in "Lady Jewelpet" as a dog-walking test subject highlights his initial reluctance and eventual emotional growth with Momona. His birthday is February 1.
