it's a little bit barebones, which is why i'm reposting all the rest of the information alongside it also the old art on the old submission with the info was old and gross lbr

LUMINETTE TYPES
There are two types of Luminettes: Sun and Moon.
Sun-type Luminettes have diamond shaped or more squared gems.
Moon-type Luminettes have smooth, circular shaped gems.
Luminettes are a social species, living in groups generally corresponding to gem type. However, mixed groups do exist.
Sun-type Luminette groups can be very large, as their gems reflect some of the light due to their smooth, straight surfaces, which bounces off and reflects into other gems, allowing a streamlined process.
Moon-type Luminettes tend to be slightly more solitary, living in smaller groups. Their gems aren't built for reflecting light so much as they are built simply for capturing the light. This is due to the fact that moonlight is duller, and therefore needs to be collected as much as possible.
Luminettes convert the light into forms of energy to survive, in a sort of way that photosynthesis works, however since they are not plants, their cells aren't as effective at converting the light into energy.
Because of this, they cannot survive solely on light. Luminettes are otherwise omnivorous, eating both plants and animals. However, they generally feed more on plants and fruits than other animals, preferring to live with them rather than devour them.
However, if a Luminette cannot immediately find food, it is able to survive periods of time without it so long as it is able to collect reasonable amounts of energy through their gems!
The fur on a Luminette's neck is actually to protect a large row of their gems, which prove to be a very weak spot in their biology. They are nearly obsolete, being covered in fur, however stronger Luminette may shave their necks in order to gain more power, or to prove their ability to fend for themselves.
A Luminette's tail is actually fan shaped, with the large gem embedded in the center. This is where most of the light is captured, the fanned tail being in something of a leaf shape, with most energy-converting cells residing within it. The fur is thicker on the bottom, and drapes off of it, whereas the fur on the top is shorter, allowing small amounts of light to get through it and into the cells, and not through the gem.
GEM INFO
Most Luminettes will not have the same gem pattern! Some may have more than others, some may have similar gem patterns, and some may have very few gems. However, they all have the row of gems around their necks, and the large gem embedded into their fan-like tail.
Luminettes with fewer gems will generally be weaker, and Luminettes with more gems will generally be stronger. However this is not always the case, and considering gem size, this will vary. A Luminette with many small gems could possibly be weaker than a Luminette with a few large gems.
Two-gem Luminettes are as the name implies, sort of. Instead of just one gem on their tail, they will have two. One large one, and one slightly smaller one. Due to this, they are more able to collect energy and therefore can help to convert the energy into magic! Most two-gem Luminettes will have quite a few gems with which to draw energy from, aiding in their magic production.
A regular Luminette MAY practice magic, however it must have extra help in the event that it does not have enough gems to accomplish this feat.
It should be noted that two-gem Luminettes primarily occur in moon-type form. However, sun-type two-gems aren't unheard of.
A LITTLE ON DOMESTIC LUMINETTES
Domestic-living Luminettes exist. They are most often of the moon-type, adjusting their sleeping schedule to live comfortable lives with people as pets and family members. This is because wild groups of moon Luminettes are few and far between, given that they all sleep at night- for the most part- and are therefore vulnerable to attack in the night. Wild Luminettes find it much more difficult to adjust their sleep schedules to fit a daylight routine than a domesticated one might.
This is not to say wild Luminettes are savage or vicious, they are generally a peaceful race and are even known to act as traders or healers along routes or outside cities. Again, most often, these are moon Luminettes.
Sun Luminettes are more inclined to live in large family groups, as they're much more social, preferring to live with their own kind than with other species.
SOME INFORMATION ABOUT BROKEN GEMS
If a Luminette’s gem cracks, it’s stuck like that! As mentioned, tere are two-gemmed Luminettes who can practice magic, and can likely learn to fix cracks, but for the most part a cracked gem is stuck cracked!
If a gem is removed, the Luminette will probably not be able to survive ( if you’re talking about the big one in its tail, smaller ones they might be able to live without ) because light is a source of energy for them! Unless they’re owned by someone, and thusly well taken care of, they’re likely going to suffer for a long time. Gems don’t grow back!
if you have any questions about the luminette species, pleaaase direct them down below so i can answer them and other people can see!

most solitary moon luminettes will sleep during the day.
i guess i made a mistake writing it up! whoops.
like, if they live with a human family, they may adjust it so that they're awake during the day to be around them! or, if they become part of a large sun community, they will adjust it, too.
