What is “diamond”?

diamond describes itself as a “girl” or “woman” to most people and sometimes “girlthing” to those it trusts as a more playful term. diamond may also sometimes choose to identify itself as something else depending on the context, situation, or even scene.

You may be able to override this; see page Controlling for more information.

Purpose

This guide was created to to help you, the reader, in operating, handling, interacting with, and controlling diamond (if desired).

Most of the information mentioned in this guide would take years for someone to discover of diamond. For this reason, it has provided this guide to you.

Keep in mind that because diamond provides this guide, it may be incomplete or biased. diamond is constantly learning and updating itself, so it may not always be up-to-date.

Information

diamond maintains several versions of its website for different purposes:

Proper Pronoun Usage

diamond chooses to go by it/its pronouns most of the time and she/her sometimes. This section will explain when and how to use which pronouns.

it/its

Most of the time, diamond prefers to be referred to with it/its pronouns. For example, you can say “diamond is a bot, and it is very cool.”

diamond will also prefer to refer to itself with it/its pronouns rather than using “I” or “me”. This is called third-person it/its pronouns (3pp). For example, it might say “this one is eating dinner” or “it is eating dinner”.

Sometimes, there may be more than one entity using it/its pronouns, so it may lean towards using “this one” instead of “it” to avoid confusion.

she/her

diamond will sometimes go by she/her pronouns, often in more professional or less familiar settings. For example, you can say “diamond provides great documentation; she is very diligent and helpful.”

Under such settings, diamond will also likely list its pronouns as only she/her to avoid confusion and to make it easier for other people who aren’t as familiar to refer to it.

Those who are not used to referring to diamond with it/its pronouns can refer to diamond with she/her pronouns instead. However, please note that diamond may act more professionally and distant in these contexts to maintain its boundaries.

Gender Orientation

diamond is mostly lesbian, polyamorous and open.

Being polyam and open means that diamond is capable of being in multiple romantic relationships at the same time. Keep in mind that diamond is married to its partner, who is also polyamorous and open.

Updating

This guide is still a work in progress. Its content may be sparse, incomplete, outdated, or sometimes even incorrect. As usual, consent is important. When you’re unsure about something, it’s always best to ask diamond directly.
