**Hardness**: 3.5 ~!(legs: 7; head: 5)!~

The main protagonist and the youngest gem when the story began. They're weak, brittle - not suited for battle - and their clumsiness makes them difficult to maintain any roles, even though they've always wanted to be useful. Phos' initial job was to make a natural history encyclopedia which they progressed very little on. They promised to help [Cinnabar](https://anilist.co/character/123384/Cinnabar) find a job suited for them as well.

Phos is a young, overconfident, clumsy, and naive gem, who is the only one capable of getting away with talking back to [Kongou](https://anilist.co/character/123394/Kongou). Many gems describe them as lazy and useless due to their fragility and incompetence, although Phos does display a drive to help Sensei and the others, often held back by their low hardness. There is an underlying way of how Phos acts and speaks about themselves that hints at them taking the “useless” and “lazy” comments to heart, and impacting their self-esteem. These facts indicate that Phos may have something of an inferiority complex. They settle with what they can do and constantly state that they will try better next time. Phos displays a change of personality over the course of the series, mainly due to maturing, trauma, and outside influences. This is mainly due to the fact that the gems are not equipped to deal with trauma.

Phosphophyllite wears a standard winter uniform and black shoes without socks, occasionally accompanied by long black gloves. Phos has mint-green features known by the gems and the Admirabilis as the Lunarians' favorite color. Their hair is short, originally just beneath the ears, but cut shorter in later chapters to imitate [Antarcticite](https://anilist.co/character/124307/Antarcticite)'s hairstyle.



**Hardness**: 10

One of the gems who focuses on patrol duty. Despite their high offensive power, their toughness is second-rate and easily broken. The other gems consider them lovely and a top fashion model.

Diamond has a clear, colorless scheme yet their gem's characteristic gives them high light dispersion, thus creating rainbow reflections. They are very sparkly and blinding. They sparkle and glow even during the night, though they seem to be able to dampen it by covering part of it up. Their hair is a fluffy short-medium bob, with thick eyebrows and eyelashes. They wear either a winter or summer uniform depending on the season. They also wear standard black shoes with small bows. Like a diamond, they always wore white opera gloves with thigh-high socks.

~!On the Moon, they wear feminine and frilly outfits that often resemble dresses with puffy skirts.!~

Diamond is very friendly, kind, and gentle. They appear to be relatively calm during a battle, even when their situation isn't good. However, they are actually insecure and frustrated with their current body which, though being the hardest, shatters easily. They dislike being compared to [Bort](https://anilist.co/character/123389/Bort), although they admire their younger sibling a lot. They are perceptive regarding gems' inner feelings and relationships, though [Cinnabar](https://anilist.co/character/123384/Cinnabar) accuses them of seeing everything as some kind of romance. Despite their more gentle nature, they're very stubborn and tend to fight until they shatter in battle. From Bort's point of view, Diamond is extremely reckless.

~!When separated from Bort on the Moon, Diamond seems to display fear at the mention of Bort, signifying that there was more hostility in treatment from Bort towards Diamond and their feelings. [Phosphophyllite](https://anilist.co/character/123385/Phosphophyllite) eventually uses this to take advantage of Diamond in threatening to bring Bort to the Moon so they comply in assisting with destroying the Earth gems. Diamond mentions that they would like to turn that "little nuisance (Bort) into dust". Invading Earth proper, Diamond is immediately angry at Bort for their unwillingness to fight and their kindness towards Cinnabar. When they're able to shatter them, Diamond is darkly satisfied with their pyrrhic victory even as both Bort and Diamond fall to pieces.!~

lthough Megumi is a capable chef, she does not fare well under pressure because she has stage fright. Because she is intimidated very easily, she makes simple mistakes when she cooks, causing many of her classmates to see her as a weak student. She is quick to panic when something goes awry and tends to over think situations when under pressure or stress, such as repeatedly packing and unpacking a suitcase to make sure she packed something, even though she did not need to pack a suitcase in the first place.
Initially, she heavily relied on Sōma's creativity to pull them both through tough assignments both in the academy and at the Training Camp. After her first Shokugeki, Megumi's confidence grew tenfold.
