In Steven Universe, the world is protected from evil threats by the Crystal Gems, a movement of Gems sworn to protect the Earth from the Homeworld Gems. Their powers flow from their gemstones; magical gems embedded somewhere on the host's body. The four Crystal Gems are Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven. Multiple gems, such as Peridot, Lapis Lazuli, Bismuth and a human, Connie Maheswaran has also joined the team. Steven is a young half-human, half-gem boy who inherited his gemstone from his mother, a Crystal Gem named Rose Quartz, who gave up her form to create Steven. As Steven tries to figure out the secrets to using his gem, he spends his days in Beach City doing activities with the other Crystal Gems, whether it's helping them save the universe or just hanging out.

Trivia According to Matt Burnett and Joe Johnston, each episode takes approximately 9 to 12 months to make and release. After being pitched, approved and storyboarded, the phases of production are voice recording, animatics, design, overseas animation, editing, music, and sound design. As a "board-driven" show, Steven Universe does not rely on traditional scripts. Instead, the writers write up episode outlines that cover the story framework, and then the outlines are given to teams of storyboard artists who do the storyboarding and write the dialogue. After the storyboards have been completed, a member of the production staff writes out the actual script for the recording session. Instead of scene headings or action descriptions like a traditional live-action script, there are numbers corresponding to the numbered storyboard panels. During the recording sessions, showrunner Rebecca Sugar and voice director Kent Osborne pitch the scene to the actors using the storyboards as references. Storyboards are made with ToonBoom's Storyboard Pro software. According to various Crewniverse members, Steven Universe isn't supposed to be about heroes or villains. During NYCC 2016, Rebecca revealed that she does have plans for how the series will end. During a Q&A at a Toonami Panel at Momo Con 2015, someone asked "Because of the dark hints in Steven Universe...it may get dark later on and you might take it over?" and it was confirmed Toonami would appreciate the idea of having Steven Universe on their network, but they cannot because too many kids are watching. The Steven Universe franchise officially ended on March 27, 2020, with the premiere of the last episode of its epilogue series, "The Future". According to Rebecca Sugar, she was notified in 2016 that the series would be cancelled at the end of the fifth season. She prevailed upon Cartoon Network to extend the fifth season to 32 episodes, in order to have room to complete the story, as well as a follow-up television film, Steven Universe: The Movie. Along with the film, Cartoon Network also greenlighted an additional season of 20 episodes, which would become the sequel series Steven Universe Future, taking place after the events of the film. Despite the show's end, Sugar has indicated that more stories could exist, but has stated that she needs a long break before deciding how to approach such a continuation.

Amethyst (specifically Amethyst Facet-5 Cut-8XM) is a member of the Crystal Gems. She is the last known Gem manufactured on Earth as a part of the Gem Homeworld's Kindergarten project, being one of the last surviving Gems on Earth. After being found by Rose Quartz and the other Crystal Gems, Amethyst helped her friends protect the Earth over the next four millennia, and often aids in the shenanigans of Steven Universe. Years later, Amethyst lives a peaceful life with the Crystal Gems, no longer struggling with low self-esteem. Though she was struck by a Gem rejuvenator during Spinel's return and had her memory wiped, Amethyst was eventually restored by Steven, who helps her recall her fondness for him and her team through past experiences on Earth.

Amethyst, alongside her fellow Crystal Gems, currently teaches at Little Homeschool. Despite once struggling with figuring out who she was, as well as battling self-confidence issues surrounding her appearance, Amethyst has since found peace and now assists other Gems in finding themselves as well.

Appearance Amethyst has a somewhat stout build common to Quartz Gems and is shorter than most of the characters, formerly rivaling Steven's height, though only by a couple of inches. She is about half the height of a "standard" Quartz Gem soldier, such as Jasper, due to remaining in the ground for an extra 500 years, which also gives her a somewhat stocky appearance. Her skin is bright lilac, her eyes are dark indigo, and her thick, messy hair is pale lavender and goes down to her ankles, with a large bang that obscures her left eye. She also has plump lips, and a small, upturned nose. Her gemstone is located on her chest, and the bottom half of it was usually covered by her shirt.

First Form In her first form, Amethyst formed in the Prime Kindergarten. After being struck by the Gem rejuvenator in Steven Universe: The Movie, Amethyst's body reverts to its base form: she takes on an almost mannequin-like appearance, with clear joint-lines at her elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles, and her feet are bare and featureless. She wears a dark purple leotard, and like her 1980s form, she has short hair and appears shorter in height.

18th Century Regeneration In "Buddy's Book" and in a painting shown in "So Many Birthdays", Amethyst appeared with the same height and hairstyle as her current self. She wore a dark mauve jacket with white buttons and shoulder epaulets, lighter mauve leggings, small black boots, and a mauve and black hat with a small white star in the middle.

1980s-90s Regeneration In "Story for Steven", "We Need to Talk", and "Greg the Babysitter", which were flashbacks to the 1980s-1990s, Amethyst had short hair, and she appeared a little smaller compared to her current and previous appearance. She wore a mauve tank top with a frilly-like bottom, a black shawl, baggy black pants, and white boots.

Debut From "Gem Glow" to "Reformed", Amethyst wore a mauve, oversized, off-shoulder tank top (as confirmed in Guide to the Crystal Gems) with a black bra underneath. She also wore black leggings with star-shaped cutouts on the knees, with a tear above the left star, and small, pointed, white ankle boots.

Second Regeneration From "Reformed" to "Crack the Whip", the colors of Amethyst's tank top and leggings are reversed: her tank top is now black with two small slots on each side towards the bottom, and her leggings are mauve with black stars on the knees; additionally, the tear above the left star is no longer present. She fixes her right shoulder strap, keeping it on her shoulder rather than off (a feature Pearl was happy to see changed). Her boots are still white.

Third Regeneration From "Crack the Whip" to "Together Alone", Amethyst's clothes’ color palette remained the same but had been swapped yet again: her tank top became off-white with a jagged hem, black leggings (similar to her debut) with dark mauve stars on them, and her ankle boots became the same dark mauve hue. Her hair was also notably wilder and more untamed during this form.

Current Regeneration As of "Change Your Mind", Amethyst now wears a black mock neck top which is torn open at the chest to reveal her gemstone, medium gray shorts with black stars on each leg and torn white fabric at the bottoms, and her boots regain their white coloring. It's worth noting that this is Amethyst's first known permanent form (aside from her very first form) to fully display her Gem, likely because of her newfound self-esteem.

In the "We Are the Crystal Gems" short and "Three Gems and a Baby", both of which flashback to Steven being a baby and toddler, Amethyst still had the same leggings and boots she wore from "Gem Glow" to "Reformed", except she had an off-shoulder, long-sleeved mauve shirt that exposed both bra straps and there was no tear above the star on the left knee of her leggings.

Amethyst is fun-loving, full of laughter, and generally carefree to a fault. Although it isn't necessary for her, she enjoys eating and sleeping and is frequently seen doing so. She tends to indulge Steven more than the other Gems and partakes in human activities with him, though she shows concern for his well-being in times of more severe danger. Amethyst loves a good fight, something that manifests itself in her wrestling persona, the "Purple Puma," where she willingly masquerades as a hated wrestler purely for the fun of it and to relieve stress from Pearl and Garnet's constant orders. She often loves watching fights and will loudly vocalize or cheer when she sees a conflict in progress, egging the competitors on, including the feuds between Pearl and Greg, between Pearl and Peridot, and Steven and Garnet eagerly while eating popcorn.

Amethyst, after rushing her regeneration. Amethyst, after rushing her regeneration.

Loud and a lover of pranks, Amethyst is easily amused and very impulsive. She is bad-mannered, untidy, and a bit lazy; much to Pearl's detriment, but still means well. Her unwillingness to let others throw out the junk in her room marks her as somewhat of a hoarder. These tendencies surface in "Maximum Capacity", where she is unwilling to let Greg throw anything away in his storage unit. However, Amethyst is very observant and perceptive of other people's feelings: She tries to reassure Steven in "An Indirect Kiss" when he was worried about her as she fell apart, understood why Pearl kept fixing the Communication Hub in "Cry for Help", and that Garnet won't forgive Pearl unless the two directly talk it out in "Friend Ship".

Because of her origins in the Prime Kindergarten and its dark legacy, Amethyst harbors a tremendous amount of self-loathing, which is also fueled by her perception that she is inadequate when compared to Garnet or Pearl. This leaves her feeling out of place among the Crystal Gems, thinking that she doesn't belong with Gems of their caliber when she was created by the very thing they sought to destroy. She thought that when Steven learned of her past, he would think less of her. In "On the Run", Amethyst gets into a vicious fight with Pearl over the belief that she sees Amethyst as a parasite, though she calms down after Pearl comforts her. She shows her difficulty at thinking for herself and worries about Steven's and Garnet's approval in "Reformed", regenerating multiple times in the episode with new forms that were all rushed or based on what she thinks Garnet and Steven will approve of.

Cry for Help 197 Amethyst has an admittedly low opinion of herself and a strong self-loathing that she usually keeps buried under her boisterousness. When her self-doubt takes effect, it makes her act cold, reckless, stubborn, and starts looking for a fight. In "Cry for Help", she sings "Tower of Mistakes" due to feeling inferior to Sardonyx and defends Pearl for deceiving Garnet to fuse with her due to both being weaker than her. In "Too Far" she was offended when Peridot stated that she is a "defective" quartz, meaning she came out wrong.

Amethyst discusses her obsession with being compared towards Jasper. Amethyst discusses her obsession with being compared towards Jasper.

This attitude gets worse in "Crack the Whip" and "Steven vs. Amethyst", where her sense of inferiority is focused as Jasper easily defeats and poofs before she sees that Steven surpasses her. This causes her to start fighting with him too, though it was only after a fight with Steven that she began to feel better. In "Beta", she still shows an obsession with finding and beating Jasper which leads her to recklessly challenge her alone, all the while denying her friends' help and encouragement. "Earthlings" shows Amethyst come to terms with herself due to Steven's encouragement, comfort, and stating that they are the same, leading them to fuse into Smoky Quartz. After the battle, she seemingly returns to her usual self, exasperatingly saying that she didn't want to do anything for a month. In "Gem Heist", Amethyst is still shown to be afraid of encountering other Amethysts from Homeworld in Pink Diamond's Zoo. In "That Will Be All", however, it turns out that these Amethysts are from Earth and that they remember her as 8XM, befriending her and making pranks at her side. In "Tiger Philanthropist", she is now comfortable with her self-esteem and no longer needs wrestling as an output of dominance and power.

"What's Your Problem?" shows how much she has matured as she tells Steven she refuses to fall apart on him, with Steven even remarking how mature she has become, much to her dismay.

Amethyst discussing with Steven how she finally found her purpose, and how she helps other Gems with such. Amethyst discussing with Steven how she finally found her purpose, and how she helps other Gems with such.

Steven Universe Future shows she has come to understand herself and has found a purpose helping other gems find out their purpose by talking to them and understanding what they want to do, something she has shown to be extremely good at.

Shapeshifting: While most Gems are capable of shapeshifting, Amethyst is particularly skilled at it, specializing in transformations.

Steven: That's why we're the best.

” —Steven and Amethyst before fusing for the first time in "Earthlings" Steven and Amethyst sitting on a train. Steven and Amethyst sitting on a train.

Amethyst spends a great deal of time hanging out with Steven. Both are very carefree and, as a result, get along well. Despite their sibling-esque nature, Amethyst teased Steven in "An Indirect Kiss" for caring about her, to which he replied "yes" with tears on his face since she was in danger of falling off a cliff. Steven believes that Amethyst may partially blame him for Rose Quartz's "death," though in "Steven vs. Amethyst", Amethyst was dismayed when Steven said he was not Rose Quartz in response to not being able to be the person he and Amethyst were supposed to be. In "Reformed", Amethyst shows that she wants to impress Steven and is afraid of him not liking her. She shows this in multiple ways. When Steven keeps asking her questions for a personality test on his phone, she avoided the truth and lied about her answers. She even asked once for a correct answer, and Steven replied there isn't since everyone can answer differently.

However, since the events of "Reformed", Amethyst seems to be more open to discussing her feelings with Steven, singing "Tower of Mistakes" in earshot of him and openly expressing a desire to Steven for Garnet to see her as "cool again" in "Cry for Help". Amethyst is shown to think quite highly of Steven's continuous growth in skill, most notably in "Steven vs. Amethyst", constantly praising him in their fight while believing that if she could not beat him, she would never defeat Jasper.

Amethyst embraces Steven prior to fusing. Amethyst embraces Steven prior to fusing.

In "Earthlings", it has also been shown that they share a kindred spirit as fellow "worst Gems" who, in Steven's words, are "not like anybody." When once again outclassed by Jasper and ready to give up, Amethyst is touched by Steven's words of support, taking his hand and hugging him, which causes them to fuse for the first time to become Smoky Quartz. Their newfound ability to fuse has seemingly brought them even closer as Amethyst leaned into Steven after bubbling Jasper. Amethyst is later shown to be much more assertive and concerned for Steven's well-being following Rose Quartz's revelation as Pink Diamond in "What's Your Problem?", even taking efforts to alleviate his worries while being determined not to fall apart on him again. This introspection leads Steven to call Amethyst the most mature of the Crystal Gems, much to her dismay.

In "The Future", when Amethyst knows that Steven is moving out of Beach City, she pretends to be okay and even jokes about deleting his games' save files. But when Steven drives back to give her a last goodbye, Amethyst is the first, among Garnet and Pearl, to burst into tears and gives him a hug, admitting that she will never erase his save files. She bids him farewell and promises to see him later one day in the future.

Garnet “ Yeah, yeah. And don't forget reckless, vulgar, loudmouth. And that's just what makes me so awesome! Right, Garnet?!

” —"Tiger Millionaire" Amethyst, arguing with Garnet. Amethyst, arguing with Garnet.

While Amethyst dislikes being told what to do and often does what she wants to do, she respects Garnet's leadership abilities and judgment. She, like the rest of the Crystal Gems, is aware that Garnet is a fusion, and after Steven had revealed he had discovered this, she shouts out "You met Ruby and Sapphire!?" In "Cry for Help", Amethyst admits that she is jealous of Garnet's power and admits it is easy to get carried away when fused with her, which causes her to quickly catch onto Pearl's scheme.

Ruby “ I don't know. Maybe she'll come back. It's not my job to babysit her.

” —"What's Your Problem?" Ruby riding Amethyst. Ruby riding Amethyst.

Amethyst is shown to not care that Ruby left, but would rather play video games with Steven. While searching for Ruby, she is shown to slack around and not focus on the task. But in the end, she expresses her feelings to Steven and helps him find Ruby. Afterward, in "The Question", she allows Ruby to ride on her back as a horse, stating that she still cares about her even when she's not Garnet.

Sapphire “ Why don't you guys take all this into the temple?

” —What's Your Problem?" Amethyst witnessing Sapphire and Pearl crying. Amethyst witnessing Sapphire and Pearl crying.

Amethyst is also shown to not consider Sapphire's feelings and tells her and Pearl to take that into the temple while both are crying, though it's revealed later that Amethyst did that out of the concern and care for Steven.

Pearl “ Look, Pearl. I already think you're cool. You can ease into the socializing with humans thing.

” —"Last One Out of Beach City" Tiger Millionare 020 The two used to share a strained relationship, due to their contrasting personalities; Pearl being clean and tidy while Amethyst is loud and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Amethyst frequently teases Pearl, who often scolds her in turn. Regardless, they value each other as both teammates and friends. It has been implied in "Secret Team", they only get along when they're at risk of getting into trouble or during fights against other adversaries. Amethyst had thought that Pearl perceived her as a "mistake," due to her origins in the Kindergarten. She had since dismissed the notion when Pearl assured her, "You were the one good thing that came out of this mess. I always thought you were proud of that."

During the episode "Cry for Help", Pearl and Garnet fused to form Sardonyx, as opposed to Amethyst and Garnet fusing to form Sugilite, resulting in Amethyst's lament and being jealous of Pearl. However, when Steven and Amethyst learned that Pearl was fixing the Communication Hub just to create Sardonyx, Amethyst was not angry or upset once she discovered Pearl's motivation for doing so. When the truth was revealed to Garnet, Amethyst defended Pearl as she knew why she did it. In "Keystone Motel", when Steven, Garnet, and Greg return from their trip, Amethyst can be briefly seen trying to console a very upset Pearl, whom Garnet is ignoring due to Pearl's irresponsible actions in "Cry for Help".

Amethyst hugging Pearl. Amethyst hugging Pearl.

Following the events of "Back to the Barn", Amethyst is shown to have high respect for Pearl after her tremendous display in the Robolympics. Amethyst is shown to have been quite astounded at Pearl's display of physical feat and strength of will, showing a much more compassionate side of the relationship between the two. In "Know Your Fusion", Pearl hugs Amethyst and tells her that she is amazed at what Smoky Quartz was able to do with the yo-yo, and lets Amethyst know how much of a good influence she was to Steven, while Amethyst blushes and admits it was really the other way around.

Last One Out of Beach City 096 In "Last One Out of Beach City", Amethyst is quite surprised and happy after Pearl is eager to go to the rock concert with her after Greg has to cancel the show due to a previous request from Barbara to play cards with her and Vidalia. In the same episode, Amethyst compliments Pearl about how hardcore and cool she is but is also shown to be concerned about Pearl in fear that she might get rejected by the mysterious woman.

Amethyst and Pearl fusing. Amethyst and Pearl fusing.

According to Guide to the Crystal Gems, Opal is a balanced fusion, showing how Amethyst's and Pearl's personalities balance out into a fusion so peaceful that it is sometimes uncomplicated for them to forget. However, this balance is laborious to hold. If Pearl and Amethyst begin to fall into their usual dissonance or come across an issue otherwise, they can separate almost immediately. It appears that their relationship has greatly improved as of "Log Date 7 15 2", as they were able to form Opal with ease to lift the drill head.

In Steven Universe: The Movie, Pearl and Amethyst fuse into Opal and their bond is strong enough that they sing a duet with Steg.

Rose Quartz “ Rose said I'm perfect the way I am...

” —"Crack the Whip" It appears that Amethyst and Rose were very close, as Amethyst describes her as "the person that was always there for [her]." Amethyst was hurt when Rose Quartz started seeing Greg and had less time to spend with her, and even more so when she gave up her physical form. In "Crack the Whip", Amethyst says that Rose looked past her "imperfections" and said that she is perfect the way she is. When Jasper refuted this statement, Amethyst became enraged. While Amethyst is shocked by the revelation that Rose used to be Pink Diamond, she doesn't hold it against her, but she's still upset about Rose's lie since the consequences still affect her and Steven.

Greg Universe “ Well, what about me, huh? I had someone who was always there for me until she started hanging out with YOU!

” —"Maximum Capacity" Amethyst, laughing with Greg. Amethyst, laughing with Greg.

In "Maximum Capacity", it is revealed that Amethyst and Greg were good friends. The two would marathon the Li'l Butler TV show together for days at a time. This would stop when she blamed Greg for Rose's "death," antagonizing him until she took it too far in an incident that involved shapeshifting.[3] During the episode, she torments Greg again by shapeshifting into Rose. By the end of the episode, Amethyst made efforts to mend their friendship by replacing the broken frame of a photo of Greg with Rose and giving it to Greg.

Connie Maheswaran Amethyst and Connie are friendly with each other. She offered popcorn to Connie during "Steven's Dream", though Connie politely refused. In "Crack the Whip", Amethyst tells Connie and Steven that they have the day off, though Connie and Steven decide to have a sparring session on the beach and try to get Amethyst to watch them. Amethyst notices Connie's frustration and tells her to relax, and that she should follow her instincts. Later, Amethyst spends the remainder of the day having fun with Connie, as well as Steven and Lion.

Stevonnie “ Wow! You two look great together! How does it feel Steven? Connie?... Stevonnie?

” —"Alone Together" Amethyst meets Stevonnie. Amethyst meets Stevonnie.

In "Alone Together", Amethyst is happy to meet Stevonnie (after chuckling at Garnet's blissful reaction to their appearance). She ultimately names them after tripping over Connie and Steven's names when asking about how they feel in their newly fused form. In "Crack the Whip", Amethyst was surprised that Stevonnie was able to take on Jasper on their own, thinking less of herself in the process.

Sardonyx “ Hm... 'smash' is the word that one would use to describe what.. someone else might do.

” —Sardonyx, "Cry for Help" Amethyst on Sardonyx's shoulder. Amethyst on Sardonyx's shoulder.

Much like Pearl's dislike towards Sugilite, Amethyst seems to show jealousy towards Sardonyx as she made Amethyst feel weak and reckless after Sugilite went berserk in "Coach Steven". This is most likely because of her wanting to be stronger and be noticed by Garnet. However, in "Back to the Moon", she rode on Sardonyx's shoulder when she battled the Rubies and Smoky Quartz showed no hostility toward the other fusion, showing that Amethyst herself may have gotten over her dislike of the other fusion.

Vidalia “ Aw, man. We used to get into all sorts of trouble.

” —Vidalia, "Onion Friend" Vidalia, curling Amethyst's hair in an old picture. Vidalia, curling Amethyst's hair in an old picture.

Amethyst and Vidalia were close friends in older days, both being mischievous troublemakers after Amethyst was introduced to Greg. Vidalia reminisces about how they began their friendship when Amethyst started hanging out with her. They had much fun together but lost contact for several years when both moved forward with their lives.

In "Onion Friend", they reunite and talk about the old days, and it is revealed that Vidalia takes much inspiration from Amethyst, not just through her paintings and drawings, but also in her everyday life, considering how much she admires her laid-back personality. However, Amethyst felt the opposite, with Vidalia being her inspiration for the same reasons.

Like all the Crystal Gems, Amethyst has no problem treating Lion like part of the team and like a friend. Amethyst has liked Lion since the first time they met, unlike Garnet and Pearl.

Peridot “ Per', I'mma be really real with you for a sec. This whole time we've been here, you've just been focusing on what you can't do. Of course, you're not having any fun. You think that all you are is who you could be, but we don't hang out with you because of who you could be. We like you.

” —"Too Short to Ride" Amethyst spending some time with Peridot. Amethyst spending some time with Peridot.

Like the rest of the Crystal Gems, Amethyst initially treated Peridot like an enemy and always attacked her on sight with extreme hostility and disdain. But after Peridot's regeneration in "Catch and Release", their relationship was rather neutral. It is explored further in "Too Far", which shows Amethyst finding her neurotic mannerisms "funny." While raiding the Kindergarten for spare parts for the Cluster drill, Peridot and Amethyst start sharing jabs at the other Gems, which Amethyst initially found humorous. Once Peridot got to the subject of Amethyst, however, Amethyst realized how offensive Peridot's "jokes" really were. Thoroughly irate, Amethyst, along with Peridot and Steven, leave the Kindergarten with an injector drill head.

After tinkering with the drill, Peridot accidentally lets the drill loose, and once seeing Amethyst in danger, she snaps her leash to save her. Peridot falls on Amethyst, and the two stare into each other's eyes for a few seconds before Peridot jumps up and apologizes. Peridot tries to approach Amethyst, later on, Amethyst gives her the cold shoulder. Upon being enlightened that her attempts at humor were incredibly rude, Peridot apologizes to Amethyst in a recorded message, which also stated that though Peridot finds Earth very strange, she desires to learn about why the Gems are who they are. Amethyst thanks Peridot for apologizing, though Amethyst nonchalantly says she still views Peridot as a nerd. In "It Could've Been Great", Amethyst glares at Peridot because she, like Garnet and Pearl, is upset by Peridot's insult of Rose and her legacy. As seen in "Message Received", Peridot seemingly betrays the Crystal Gems which greatly upsets Amethyst, seeing that she visibly the most upset that she "betrayed" them. Upon seeing Peridot's true intents and subsequent defiance against Yellow Diamond, Amethyst officially accepts Peridot as a Crystal Gem and gives her the nickname "Peridactyl."

Out of all the Crystal Gems, aside from Steven and Lapis, Peridot appears to be the closest to Amethyst. Peridot finds great pleasure and amusement from Amethyst's shapeshifting, connecting the two even more. In "Too Short to Ride", when Peridot comments how shapeshifting (an activity Amethyst practices regularly) is an insult, Amethyst quickly recognizes that Peridot was upset about something and asks her about it rather than being offended by her comment. Amethyst, in the same episode, becomes determined to get Peridot the alien she wanted. In "Beta", the two hung out some more. Peridot seemed to be happy that Amethyst was visiting. During the episode, Peridot kept trying to impress Amethyst with 'meep morps'. Later in the episode, Peridot comforts her when she gets upset about Jasper.

Back to the Kindergarten 371 In "Back to the Kindergarten", Amethyst asks Steven if Peridot was still in his bathroom before going in there herself. Although frustrated that she was still in there, she shows concern for Peridot and encourages her to leave the bathroom. Amethyst ends up taking her to the Prime Kindergarten. She and Steven attempt to cheer Peridot up by planting sunflowers at the Kindergarten, although they died the next day. After defeating the Flower Monster as Smoky Quartz, she comforts Peridot on the train, saying that they could try planting flowers elsewhere, and hugs her with Steven. Peridot hugs them back shortly after.

Jasper Jasper and Amethyst are both Quartz soldiers made on Earth, but Jasper sees Amethyst as nothing more than a joke and a failure for being 'overcooked'. Jasper told Steven (whom she mistook for Rose) that she must have been desperate to enlist the help of a "runt" like Amethyst. At the end of the events of "Crack the Whip", Amethyst feels inadequate because Stevonnie took down Jasper without her help, making Jasper's words feel true. She starts training in "Steven vs. Amethyst" in preparation for a rematch with Jasper. In "Beta", she is unable to enjoy visiting Lapis and Peridot, because she would rather search for Jasper. Peridot attempts to cheer her up by showing her where Jasper was made: the Beta Kindergarten. They discover that Jasper formed perfectly, increasing Amethyst's determination to defeat her. During "Earthlings", she tosses Steven away to fight Jasper one-on-one, likely in an attempt to prove herself to Jasper. With Steven's help, Amethyst rejects Jasper's ideas of self-worth, and this allows her and Steven to form Smoky Quartz and overpower Jasper.

Change Your Mind 992 Despite her initial antagonism, Amethyst did feel sympathy for Jasper when she broke down and suffered corruption, calling Jasper 'sis' as she bubbles her gem. At the end of "Change Your Mind" when Steven managed to convince White Diamond to help with healing the Corrupted Gems, the Crystal Gems took Jasper along with all of the other Gems that were bubbled inside of the Temple to Rose's fountain where they were placed within the waters alongside the Diamonds and began to uncorrupt as the bubbles popped, Jasper emerged from the waters of the fountain ready to attack Steven still thinking that he was Rose Quartz only to be verbally halted by Yellow Diamond. Amethyst would then swim over to the newly uncorrupted Jasper and place her hand on her shoulder before saying "Hey, Sis" to her. Two years later, it appears that Amethyst and Jasper aren't on good terms as Amethyst tells Steven to forget about her in "Little Homeschool", and that he should stop trying to fix everyone.

” —"Beta" Amethyst summoning her whip upon seeing Lapis Amethyst summoning her whip upon seeing Lapis

Lapis and Amethyst first met in "Mirror Gem" on very hostile terms, and Amethyst initially wanted to bubble her and saw her as a threat. She was very scared and told Garnet to do something, hugging her leg. Lapis and Amethyst fought on multiple occasions between Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem, with Lapis being very resentful and hateful of all the Crystal Gems, including Amethyst. Though Amethyst was hateful, she didn't mind when Steven let her free, celebrating with all the others.

In "The Message", Amethyst had a lot less resentment towards Lapis and trusted her when she saw her message. Lapis sent that message in order to save Steven and the rest of the Crystal gems, including Amethyst, noting there was some sort of alliance. Amethyst, on her end, was indifferent towards Lapis for the most part, and getting over the shock of Malachite forming very quickly, but she did help her to an extent. In Chille Tid, she helped look for her in the ocean, and in "Super Watermelon Island", she saved her from failing into the fissure that was caused by the earthquake from The Cluster.

In "Same Old World", Lapis revealed she still had a lot of resentment towards all of the Crystal Gems, including Amethyst, and didn't want to be on a planet with them. However, she was willing to be around them and even play baseball with them to help Steven.

In "Beta", Amethyst visits Lapis and Peridot at the Barn. Amethyst is very unwilling to see Lapis and does not see her as fun, and only went because Steven wanted her to. Amethyst was very rude about the Meep Morps she and Peridot were making, but likely due to her bad mental state. She did however, give very rude looks to Lapis's pieces alone. Amethyst also disregarded Lapis's trigger over Jasper, and brought her up in front of her, causing Lapis to ditch the group. Amethyst never apologized, but in "Back to the Moon", the two were amicable and okay with being around each other. Amethyst offered to include Lapis in "being her prisoner", but she refused. Amethyst took no offense to this, however, showing any animosity from the two earlier that day had dissipated.

In "Gem Harvest", the two seemed to have warmed up to each other, eating dinner together with the rest of the Crystal Gems and seemingly having fun. Amethyst felt very awkward, however, when Lapis made a joke about her past trauma, smiling forcefully while Peridot laughed.

In "The New Crystal Gems", Lapis's opinion of Amethyst is revealed to be somewhat negative. Lapis sees Amethyst as a very rude comic relief character with unkempt hair, irresponsible, who burps, and mimicked her voice and snorty laugh. However, by "Can't Go Back", Lapis's opinion on her seemingly softened, as she misses the of the Crystal gems, watching her and the others using the moon base. Lapis eventually came back and joined the Crystal Gems in "Reunited", saving everyone (including Amethyst) from Blue Diamond.

Amethyst didn't have an opinion over Lapis leaving to go to the moon, but she comforted Peridot through it. She was happy when Lapis returned to join the Crystal Gems, and smiled while she reunited with Steven.

While the two seldom interacted, they are on good terms, considering each other friends, as seen in Steven Universe: The Movie.

Advertisement Bismuth Bismuth 237 When they first met in "Bismuth", Amethyst didn't know what to think about the sudden appearance of Bismuth through Lion's mane. As Pearl mentioned that Rose told the Crystal Gems Bismuth had fallen during the Rebellion, Amethyst wondered why Rose never said a word about her if she was alive in the end. However, her doubts vanished as she was very happy Bismuth upgraded her whip to a flail. After Steven returned from the Forge and told everyone about Bismuth's plan with the Breaking Point, Amethyst followed the others on their decision to store Bismuth's gem in the temple.

When Steven brought her back in the team in "Made of Honor", Amethyst was pretty happy to see her and treat her as the fellow Crystal Gem she is. She also worked with her to install the new warp pad of Little Homeworld in Steven Universe: The Movie.

In "Back to the Moon", Amethyst closely interacts with the team of Rubies that debuted in "Hit the Diamond": "Doc", "Eyeball", "Army", "Navy", and "Leggy". She shapeshifts to look like Jasper to get them off their track and accompanies them to the Moonbase in an attempt to get them to leave. During this time, Amethyst is at ease with the Rubies, joking with them and taking a leadership position. At one point aboard the Roaming Eye, Amethyst is shown to be comfortable enough with "Doc" to pull her onto her lap and suggest the Ruby fly the ship for her; in turn, "Doc" is agreeable with the suggestion and even offers to sit on her lap again for the return journey to Earth. Two other Rubies, "Navy" and "Leggy", discuss how Amethyst-Jasper is "funny and strong." "Eyeball", in particular, highly respects Amethyst-Jasper, being the first of her squad to approach the Quartz Gem and introduce herself. This respect is also shown when "Eyeball" agrees to file a report on Homeworld on behalf of Amethyst-Jasper, feeling pleased that she is entrusted with this task. Under the guise of Jasper, Amethyst seemed to fit naturally within their space. After her deception is revealed at the end of "Back to the Moon", the Rubies are furious with her and the Crystal Gems and resume their relationship as enemies.

The "Famethyst" “ Famethyst for life!

” —"That Will Be All" That Will Be All 025

At Pink Diamond's zoo, Amethyst meets other Amethyst Gems for the first time. Despite her initial apprehension, she quickly befriends the many Quartz soldiers stationed there and discovers they share the common origin of Earth. Amethyst and the other Quartzes are seen joking around and laughing together, including pulling a prank on Steven and Greg. Their kinship and mutual dislike for Holly Blue Agate ultimately lead to the Quartzes' assistance in the rescue of Greg and their refusal to prevent the Crystal Gems' escape from the zoo. Amethyst refers to them as her "Famethyst". In the podcast, it is stated that meeting the other Quartzes has allowed Amethyst to define herself with more clarity, leading her flexibility to become a choice rather than a reaction.

Spinel is the main antagonist of Steven Universe: The Movie and a supporting character in Steven Universe Future. She was created at least 6,000 years prior to the events of the movie to comfort the lonely Pink Diamond, who had lost her first Pearl to White Diamond. The two would play in Pink's garden until she was finally given a colony. At this point, Pink outgrew Spinel and abandoned her under the guise of playing a game by having Spinel stand alone for thousands of years while Pink never returned.

After discovering this through Steven's message to the universe, she went to Earth and attempted to destroy all organic life forms on the planet as an act of revenge.

After making amends with Steven and the Crystal Gems, the Diamonds take her back to live with them on Homeworld. Now reformed and free, she is still living with the Diamonds, living a less destructive and aggressive life.

Current Spinel has a pink complexion, magenta eyes, a small pointy nose, and dark cerise hair that is styled into messy pigtails. She also has three black lines underneath both of her eyes, an inversion of the eyelashes from her original form and reminiscent of running mascara. Her clothing consists of a plum-colored top, puffy pointed hot pink sleeves, puffy rose shorts, hot pink wrist-length gloves, white stockings, and a pair of rose knee-high pointy boots.

Her gemstone is located in the center of her chest, cut in the shape of an upside-down heart with lots of facets and detail.

Previous When reset to her original self with her own rejuvenator, Spinel's overall design is shorter and rounded in contrast to her current taller and pointier design. She had black cartoonish eyes with three visible eyelashes on each, and her hair was styled into a pair of heart-shaped buns. Her top was white with more rounded pink sleeves and her boots become a pair of big magenta shoes. Spinel's previous color palette is also brighter than her current one which uses darker tones. Overall, her appearance was similar to that of a 1930s rubber hose cartoon character.

Her gemstone used to be right side up, resembling a normal heart.

Personality

Spinel initially had a goofy, fun-loving personality, but can sometimes be overbearing and an annoyance for others. Acting somewhat naive and oblivious of how others had perceived her, she was to be Pink Diamond's best friend to the point of being clingy and disingenuous to her real feelings.

In stark contrast, upon being abandoned and later learning that Pink Diamond is gone with Steven taking her place and making new friends, Spinel is bitter and full of resentment towards everything connected with Pink Diamond.

Due to her abandonment, Spinel is unhinged, prone to spontaneous laughter, and extreme outbursts when reminded even indirectly that Pink Diamond forgot her. This can be seen when her face contorts with fury after Steven asked Pearl who she was.

Despite her anger and irrationality, Spinel is somewhat trusting, as she is willing to go along with Steven to stop her injector. That is until she sees the rejuvenator and believes he wanted to reset her. Fearful of being betrayed for a second time, Spinel immediately relapses into insanity and decides that she hates Steven, before launching a preemptive attack on him.

Spinel was fueled by her vendetta and willing to eliminate anyone who gets in her way. This can be seen when she resets Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst immediately after they just met, as she feels that they got between her and Pink. She may have had every intention of erasing Pink's "brand new friends" in a misplaced rage. She displays deeper emotions, like when she shows remorse after Steven saves her, and tearfully asks herself why she wants to hurt him and others. Spinel is also mature enough to understand she will have difficulty creating friendships after what Pink Diamond put her through, but she is willing to start over with the other Diamonds.

Though silly and goofy in her original form, she is shown to be extremely intelligent and cunning in her altered state, originally defeating the Crystal Gems easily, as well as understanding how her injector works by using it to slowly kill Steven's organic form after using her rejuvenator to reset his gem, showing a great tactical knowledge.

After returning to Homeworld with the Diamonds, Spinel returns to her goofy, fun-loving personality. She is still visibly embarrassed by her past mistakes, however. She is also noticeably less clingy, as she allows White Diamond and Steven to speak privately.

History Over 6,000 Years Ago Spinel was created for Pink Diamond thousands of years ago to act like her new best friend (after losing her first Pearl), often playing games with her and entertaining her. However, over time, Pink began to see Spinel as inconsiderately naive and slowly outgrew her, becoming visibly less and less enthusiastic about constantly playing with her. When Pink was finally given her colony, Earth, she abandoned Spinel at the garden built for them, saying that they were going to play a new game where Spinel had to stand perfectly still. Spinel was eager to play the game and stood motionless for 6,000 years while waiting for Pink's return.

Steven Universe: The Movie After 6,000 years of waiting Spinel finally had gotten news on what became of her Diamond. She learns that Pink Diamond technically no longer exists and had given up her physical form to give birth to her half-human son Steven. After learning this and also realizing the fact that her Diamond abandoned her, she changed her appearance and swore vengeance on Steven and Pink's "other friends" (the Crystal Gems).

Later, on the day of Steven's final homeworld broadcast before returning to Earth, Spinel arrives in Beach City on a massive customized injector which begins filling the planet with poison. Spinel begins to fight against Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, her stretching ability and chaotic method of movement allowing her to easily defeat them with her Gem Rejuvenator. Furious, Steven manages to grab hold of her weapon and poofs Spinel with it as well.

After the battle, Steven brings the poofed gems (including Spinel) to the temple where he learns after the Crystal Gems reformed that they lost their memories and he lost access to the majority of his abilities. Not too long after this revelation Spinel reforms as well and acts oddly friendly and playful towards Steven, calling him her best friend.

Throughout the movie, Spinel follows Steven everywhere he went and "helps" him get his friends' memories back. While doing so, she also tries to play with him but never gets the chance to, due to him being too focused on helping his friends. After helping Amethyst, Steven and the other remaining Crystal Gems learn that the only one who can stop Spinel's injector is Spinel herself, but in order to do that they need her to remember who she is and since Pearl is the only one who seems to know her, the group decides to help her next.

That evening, Spinel joins Steven and the other Crystal Gems at the Abandoned Warehouse where they try to get Pearl to regain her memories by listening to a song written by Sadie Killer and the Suspects called "Disobedient". When that didn't work, Steven figures out that the only way Pearl would be able to think for herself, as well as regain her memories is if her owner "disappeared", just like Rose Quartz did. To do that Steven fuses with his father Greg Universe (who Pearl thought was her owner) and forms a new fusion named Steg. Steg then sings a song named "Independent Together" that helps Pearl remember who she is and later duets with him as Opal.

Although the song had succeeded in helping Pearl, it causes Spinel to see that Steven cares more for the others than her. Upset, she flees to Pink Diamond's Garden, where she tells Steven the story of her past as well as her abandonment through "Drift Away", causing her to return to her former self. Steven, feeling bad for Spinel, befriends her and brings her back to the Gems and Connie, who, after initially being wary, agree to let Spinel help Steven in deactivating the injector.

Upon deactivating it Spinel is again hurt by Steven's reaction. She then claims that he only needed her for the injector, and did not want to be her friend and that he would just get rid of her, the source of his problems. Thinking he will betray her as his mother did, she pushes Steven, making him drop the rejuvenator. Freaking out in anger and betrayal, paranoid that Steven would set her back to default mode, she resorts to her old behavior and attacks Steven, taking Garnet as a hostage to goad him into fighting back. This, however, causes Garnet to regain her memories as well. After being beaten by the Crystal Gems, Spinel then retreats to the top of the injector and is soon followed by Steven, who once more tries to reason with her. This further infuriates her, causing them to fight, until it becomes apparent she has lost her motivation to destroy him and regrets her actions up until that point. Steven, now fully reunited with his powers, comforts her and claims she can start fresh with new people to be her friends. The injector then explodes due to the battle, and Steven saves Spinel by entrapping her in his bubble alongside him. Steven then attempts to comfort her again, as Spinel decides she has created too much damage and must leave. The Diamonds then arrive, ready to confront Steven about where they will live and Steven introduces Spinel to them, thus giving her the new friends he promised. Spinel then says goodbye to Steven and leaves Earth alongside the Diamonds, happy to be loved again.

"Homeworld Bound" In "Homeworld Bound", as soon as Spinel sees Steven, she greets him with a large smooch (which he isn't exactly happy about) and they talk about how they've each been. When Steven reveals his newfound problems to her, such as growing in size, she takes him to Yellow Diamond to fix his physical form. Yellow Diamond is now able to permanently change physical forms with her electricity powers, and demonstrates this on Spinel, making her arms big and her feet little. When Steven tells Yellow Diamond he doesn't want to be changed based on appearance, Yellow suggests Blue for some emotional help. Spinel enthusiastically takes him to go see Blue, who tells him her tears are now vaporized into "happy clouds" and Spinel suggests he tries this. Blue sings her song, and Spinel happily plays on the clouds and hugs Blue. When Steven tells Blue he would rather be better than feel better, she sends him along with Spinel to White Diamond as it's seen as a "matter of self-worth". Spinel tells Steven that White Diamond's newfound powers work in reverse, allowing common-folk Gems to project themselves and control White rather than her controlling them. White shows Steven this by asking Spinel if she wants to demonstrate (to which she very happily agrees) and controls White. While controlling White, White Diamond turns the same shades of pink as Spinel and follows Spinel's movements like a puppet as well as says what she says. Spinel does some dancing before White regains control. White then tells Spinel to leave them alone for a second, and she obliges and leaves with a tiny peek inside before the doors close.

After Steven has an unintentional outburst, he runs away and Spinel follows him and asks him where he is going. He asks her how she dealt with her feelings (regarding Pink) and she replies that she doesn't have those feelings anymore since she met him. Then she begins to belt out the first verse of his song "Change" in an off-key tune. She is last seen with the Diamonds as they chase after Steven, visibly concerned about his well-being.

"I Am My Monster" Spinel appears alongside the Diamonds when they travel to Earth via the Mega Diamond to return Steven's missing flip-flop. Like the Diamonds, Spinel is surprised to see Steven as a large monster when they arrive. Later, Spinel cries and feels guilty at the fact that she was one of the causes of Steven's transformation, as she had tried to leave Steven alone with amnesiac friends on a barren world and then attempted to kill him. Afterward, Connie tells everyone to stop feeling sorry for themselves and instead support Steven in his moment of need, so Spinel along with everyone else comforts him. Spinel is seen at the end of the episode looking at Steven as he turns back to normal, with tears in her eyes.

Abilities Spinel possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability.

Skillset Scythe Proficiency: The non-summoned weapon Spinel wields is a Gem Rejuvenator that has the appearance of a scythe. Spinel was adept enough at wielding it that she was easily able to defeat three of the Crystal Gems with one strike. In conjunction with the weapon, Spinel's ability to stretch works greatly in her favor as it allows her to greatly increase the range of the scythe, allowing her to swipe at many different angles and increase the power behind it when she stretches far enough allowing the recoil to strengthen the attack made by the weapon. Natural Abilities Enhanced Strength: Spinel destroying the Injector. Spinel destroying the Injector.

Spinel is quite physically strong for a non-combatant Gem, she was able to fight with Steven, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl at the same time even without her scythe, either by kicking, punching, pushing or restraining them. Later, she was strong enough to punch Steven from mid air to the Injector, almost destroying the Injector in the process. Enhanced Durability: Spinel is decently durable, she was able to endure being launched forcefully to the Injector by the Crystal Gems. Bubbling:

Spinel is able to bubble objects. Her bubbles are pink and were only seen in a flashback with Pink Diamond. Gem Storage: Like most Gems, Spinel can store items on her Gem, as she summoned the Rejuvenator from her gemstone. Unique Abilities Elasticity:

Similarly to old-fashioned cartoons, Spinel is extremely elastic and malleable, able to stretch her limbs and torso to great lengths and inflate her body parts to strengthen her attacks. She uses this to increase the range of her attacks, able to reach enemies from a distance. She can also coil her extended limbs to form a spring with an inflated fist at the end. She even displayed the ability to become as flat as the ground and slither across it, in an almost semi-liquid like state. She's even able to coil one of her fingers into making a type of horn that activates and deactivates her injector. There appears to be no limit as to how far she can stretch and there also appears to be no limit as to how big she can inflate. Rubber Physiology: Spinel rubber physiology. Spinel rubber physiology.

Spinel also possesses physiology similar to rubber or putty. This allows her to jump great distances and bounce off surfaces; this is exploited when Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl stretch and then shoot her body like a slingshot. Twister Dash: She has the ability to quickly dash in the style of a twister due to her elasticity properties. Flight: Spinning her legs like helicopter blades, she can slow her fall even when carrying a heavy object. This is seen in "Homeworld Bound" when she saves Steven from falling. Figure-Eight: In "Homeworld Bound", she is shown to be able to run incredibly quickly, making her legs look like a figure eight, similar to the "Super Peel Out" from Sonic The Hedgehog CD. Spin Dash: In "Homeworld Bound", she's able to dash similarly to Amethyst and Jasper. Additional Tools Gem Injector: She obtained this via access to Pink Diamond's armory and used it to poison the Earth until she accidentally destroyed it. Gem Rejuvenator: She obtained this via access to Pink Diamond's armory and used it against the Crystal Gems until it was destroyed by Steven.

Relationships

Pink Diamond

Spinel was Pink Diamond's playmate and "best friend". Created solely to entertain Pink, Spinel considered herself to be Pink's best friend, and for a time, the two were inseparable. However, they gradually grew apart as Pink yearned to have a colony of her own. Oblivious to this, Spinel continued to attempt to entertain Pink, her attitude now seeming more immature in comparison. She also became clingy; upon Pink's allocation of Earth as her colony by the Diamonds, Spinel was intent on joining Pink on this new endeavor.

Very reluctant to allow Spinel to join her, Pink created a "new game" to get rid of her from her side, in which Spinel should wait for her return in the same spot, and never move. Spinel obliged and waited over 6,000 years for Pink's return. When Spinel finally realized that Pink had abandoned her after watching Steven's announcement on the Diamond Communicator, hurt and sorrow consumed Spinel, resulting in her taking on her current form and hunting down Steven to take revenge on Pink.

While singing to Steven, Spinel expresses her belief that Pink does not care about her, though it is unknown whether this is indeed true. In spite of her newfound hatred towards Pink, Spinel fondly reminisces over the fun times the two of them had together, and happily tells the Diamonds they remind her so much of Pink.

Steven Universe “ What am I doing? Why do I wanna hurt you so bad? I'm supposed to be a friend! ...I just wanna be a friend...

” —Steven Universe: The Movie

Spinel sought out revenge on Steven due to him being the descendant of Pink Diamond, as stated by his broadcast, and she was jealous of the fact that he, or "Pink", now had new friends that were not herself. Hurt by Pink's abandonment, she vowed to destroy Steven's new friends and the planet that Pink had loved so much. Steven accidentally poofs her, perceiving her as a threat once she has poofed Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl.

SU Movie 532 However, upon her regeneration, the two become mutual acquaintances, with Spinel resuming her 'Best Friend' status with Steven, as she did with Pink. The two are inseparable, with the relationship heavily skewed; coming mostly from Spinel. Upon a small disagreement where Spinel sees Steven caring more for his friends than her, she flees to Pink Diamond's Garden, where she tells Steven the story of her past. Moved, and desperate to redeem the Gem, Steven brings Spinel back to the Gems and Connie, who, after initially being wary, agree to let Steven help Spinel to deactivate the injector.

Upon deactivating it, Spinel is once again hurt by Steven's reaction; she claims he only needed her for the injector, and did not want to be her friend. Reverting to her old behavior, Spinel attacks Steven and briefly holds Garnet hostage, before retreating to the top of the injector.

Steven ascends the injector to talk to Spinel, and they fight until it becomes apparent she has lost her motivation to destroy him and regrets her actions up until that point. Steven, now fully reunited with his powers, comforts her and claims she can start fresh with new people to be her friends. The injector promptly explodes due to the battle, and Steven saves Spinel by entrapping her in his bubble alongside him. Steven then attempts to comfort her again, as Spinel decides she has created too much damage and must leave. The Diamonds then arrive, ready to confront Steven about where they will live, and Steven introduces Spinel to them, thus giving her the new friends he promised.

Homeworld Bound 039 In "Homeworld Bound", Spinel is quick to greet Steven and tries her best to help him with his problem by taking him to the other Diamonds. After the advice of the other Diamonds fails, she says that Steven is the reason she was able to change for the better, giving him his own advice to try to help him. She also shows to harbor great affection for him as her eyes turn to hearts when she sees him and kisses him on the face.

Upon seeing Steven’s monster form in “I Am My Monster”, she cries and blames herself for Steven’s mental pain, mentioning the events of the movie. She was then moved by Connie’s speech that Steven needs all of his family and friends’ help, and contributed in comforting him until he turns back to normal.

Pearl “ And Pink Diamond's Pearl! Well! She took you with her. Isn't that just...swell?!

” —Steven Universe: The Movie

The two were acquainted with one another as members of Pink Diamond's court, but presumably never interacted much. When Spinel and Pearl encountered each other for the first time in thousands of years, Pearl experienced shock over Spinel's return.

While the two never interact properly it seems that Spinel holds a fair amount of resentment towards Pearl since Pink Diamond took Pearl with her to earth but left Spinel behind. This is evident when Spinel mentions it and is barely able to keep herself from screaming in anger.

Yellow, Blue, and White Diamond “ Yellow Diamond: UuAAAahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Only 6,000 years! Hahahaha! It's true! That's no-o-thing! Ahahahahahahaha, and that goofy handstand... wipes off a tear of joy Ahahahahaha... I like this Gem. Blue Diamond: She's adorable, and so much like Pink.

” —"Steven Universe: The Movie"

The other Diamonds were acquainted with her thousands of years ago, as Spinel remarked that they saw her before; it isn't known how much or in which way they previously interacted, however. The only known past instance of Spinel encountering the other Diamonds is when Pink was being told about her receiving her colony by Blue and Yellow, with White being absent. All three were unaware that Pink left Spinel abandoned within her garden, nor did they seem to remember her at all in the first place.

Upon their first encounter with Spinel in millennia, the once oblivious Diamonds seem to remember Spinel immediately, Yellow even calling her "Pink's little playmate"; She is shown to be amused by Spinel's jokes and antics. As for Blue Diamond, she calls Spinel one of "Pink's lost treasures" and shows sympathy after learning of her abandonment by Pink, but takes a liking to Spinel primarily due to her resemblance to the latter. White proposes the idea of taking Spinel to Homeworld with them and letting her stay in the Diamond Palace, to which Spinel agrees, expressing gratitude for being able to try her hand at making friends again.

In "Homeworld Bound", it is evident that Spinel and the Diamonds have become good friends, as they welcome her whenever she enters their rooms, and Spinel enjoys it when they use their newfound powers on her.

Trivia

Unlike other characters, Spinel actually wants to hurt others. Talking about Spinel, Rebecca has stated that "the thing about [her] is that she’s a really toxic person. She’s so toxic that she’s literally trying to poison people. In my interactions with friends who have had a history difficult enough to make it hard for them to trust other people and sometimes even actively want to hurt others, it’s just a very difficult situation to navigate. In the case of Spinel and all of these characters, that’s extremely exaggerated because cartoons have the ability to be extreme exaggerations. I wanted to explore what it’s like when you’re trying to help someone who really doesn’t want to help themselves, who wants to embody the negative feelings that they have about themselves. I think that’s something really real. I hadn’t seen that in a cartoon before. Spinel, unlike many other characters, actually has the goal of hurting people, which is new territory for the show. She really wants to hurt Steven, and there’s a reason that she does—because she’s in so much pain. I just wanted to explore all the dimensions of that." Rebecca Sugar stated Pink Diamond abandoned Spinel because she found her grating and overwhelming and "Pink...wanted to feel like she was moving forward. This Gem was given to her to placate her in a certain way, and she was ready to move on. She wasn’t really thinking about how that would affect other people because she tends to not think about that. That’s a bit of a recurring theme for her. I think there’s a quality to Spinel that’s also about our young audience having grown up, and all the kids that have grown out of the show and left it behind, and how silly it can feel to be here working so hard to make this cartoon when there are people who will just leave. Pink, she grew out of her. It doesn’t excuse what she did. It absolutely doesn’t because it was very cruel, but she can be very cruel." She also stated that what she wanted people to take away from the movie and its character arcs was that it's alright to be a work in progress and it's you who needs to want change. Spinel's existence and backstory were tied to an event in Sugar's childhood: she left a cherished stuffed rabbit in her garden and when she discovered it half a year later it had changed independently. This was also the source of inspiration for the song "Everything Stays" that Sugar composed and performed for Adventure Time which she storyboarded before leaving; "Everything Stays" is even similar to "Drift Away" in key and what each song evokes. Spinel was designed to look like an "out-of-date cartoon that never evolved": her design, gloves, first form's pupils and stretching abilities were based on old-fashioned cartoon characters of the early 1900s-era rubber hose animation style, having limbs bending and stretching freely with no articulation; and her movements were deliberate references to Grim Natwick, Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney's productions, which were cartoons of this style that are popular to this day (Her hair was similar to Mickey Mouse's ears since regardless of which direction she faced it always stayed along the outline of her head. While her original form resembled Mickey her new form resembled Mickey's predecessor Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.). Her opening song matched all of this in being similar to jazz or ragtime songs in these cartoons, such as Cab Calloway's involvement with Betty Boop. She tended to add old slang words into her speech such as "swell" and "gee" which were often used during the time rubber hose animation was popular. She also spoke with a slight New York accent referencing the speaking style of such cartoon characters. Her stretching ability and attacks could also be a nod to Jake the Dog from Adventure Time, as well as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic from Marvel Comics, Monkey D. Luffy, Bellamy, and Charlotte Katakuri from One Piece, of which Sugar was a huge fan and used as inspiration. Her scythe attacks were similar to those of Maka Albarn from Soul Eater. She also seemed to be reminiscent of DC Comics' Harley Quinn, as both were colorfully modeled after court jesters and violent but disturbingly playful. Her squeaky feet were similar to the squeaky shoes of SpongeBob SquarePants from the eponymous TV series. The transformation back to her altered form was similar to transformations in magical girl anime. Additionally, her hair buns resembled those of Chibiusa Tsukino and Chibi Chibi from Sailor Moon. Her name was alluded to in some of the earliest promotional materials where her gemstone was spinning. The spinning gemstone in the promo was also most likely a reference to her gemstone which was revealed to be rotated upside down. Spinel is the only known Gem besides her Diamond to have rotated her gemstone's position. Along with Carnelian, Holly Blue Agate, Emerald, Bixbite, Larimar, and Snowflake Obsidian, Spinel is the sole individual of her Gem type seen in full detail. Spinel was one of the few Gems aside from Lapis Lazuli, Peridot, "Squaridot", Hessonite, Demantoid, and Pyrope to fully — if not immediately — recognize Steven as his own being, as opposed to an extension of Rose Quartz and/or Pink Diamond, understanding he was neither from the onset. Many other Crystal and Homeworld Gems had difficulty making the distinction — at least initially. Spinel's associated instrument is distorted Mellotron strings. In her original design, Spinel's head was going to be shaped like a giant heart. Spinel's gemstone is the most faceted in the franchise. In real life, spinel gems have been used as crown jewels, giving them further association with royalty. Real-life spinel is also believed to dispel negative energies through purification in addition to increasing creativity and preserving youthfulness. While the former aspect could have been analogous to her old personality, the latter might have been an ironic jab towards her use of a rejuvenator.

Spinel is a major character in the Steven Universe franchise: the primary antagonist of Steven Universe: The Movie (2019) and a supporting character in Steven Universe Future. She was created at least 6,000 years before the movie's events as a companion for the lonely Pink Diamond. Backstory and Origins Spinel was made specifically to comfort Pink Diamond after White Diamond took Pink's first Pearl. Designed as an entertaining playmate and "best friend," she embodied childlike joy, fun, and loyalty in a cartoonish, rubber-hose animation style reminiscent of 1930s characters (with stretchy limbs, bouncy movements, and a playful demeanor). In Pink Diamond's garden, the two played games daily. Spinel was eager, goofy, and sometimes overbearing or clingy, always trying to keep Pink entertained. Over time, Pink matured and outgrew Spinel, finding her naive and overwhelming. When Pink received Earth as her colony, she abandoned Spinel with a "new game": Spinel had to stand perfectly still in the garden and wait for Pink's return. Spinel, trusting and excited, complied and remained motionless for over 6,000 years. During this isolation, everything around her decayed while she stayed frozen. Pink never returned—she faked her shattering as Rose Quartz, gave up her form to create Steven, and never thought much about the consequences for Spinel. Pink's actions stemmed from her desire to move forward and escape the constraints of her role, but it was profoundly cruel to Spinel. Spinel learned the truth via Steven's universal broadcast announcing Pink Diamond's fate and his own existence. Devastated, betrayed, and enraged, Spinel transformed her appearance (flipping her heart-shaped gem upside down, darkening her colors, and adopting a more jagged, "mascara-streaked" look symbolizing her tears and pain). She vowed revenge on Steven (Pink's "replacement") and everything Pink loved, especially Earth and the Crystal Gems. Role in Steven Universe: The Movie Spinel arrives on Earth via a massive Gem Injector from Pink's old armory, intending to poison the planet's organic life as vengeance. She easily defeats the Crystal Gems (Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl) using her Gem Rejuvenator scythe, which resets Gems to their "factory settings" (erasing memories and personalities). Steven poofs her in the fight but loses most of his powers and the Gems' memories in the process. Upon reforming, Spinel initially acts playful and friendly toward Steven, calling him her "best friend" and following him everywhere in a clingy, helpful-but-annoying way. This reflects her original programming resurfacing temporarily. As Steven works to restore the Gems' memories (with songs like "Disobedient" and "Independent Together"), Spinel feels increasingly sidelined and jealous. In Pink's abandoned garden, she sings the heartbreaking ballad "Drift Away", revealing her full backstory, loneliness, and sense of abandonment. Steven sympathizes deeply and tries to befriend her genuinely. They team up to stop the Injector, but Spinel's deep-seated trust issues resurface when she misinterprets Steven's priorities. She relapses into rage, believing he'll betray her like Pink did, attacks the group, takes hostages, and fights Steven atop the Injector. The climax is emotional: Spinel's motivation crumbles as she questions why she wants to hurt others when she just wants to be a friend. Steven comforts her, emphasizing she can start fresh. After the Injector explodes, Steven saves her with his bubble. The Diamonds arrive; Steven introduces Spinel to them as new potential friends. She leaves Earth with them, hopeful but acknowledging her past damage. Personality and Character Arc Originally, Spinel was goofy, fun-loving, naive, and playful—embodying pure entertainment and loyalty, sometimes to an annoying degree. Post-abandonment, she became bitter, unhinged, vengeful, and prone to manic laughter or explosive outbursts. Her trauma manifested as deep insecurity, fear of rejection, self-loathing, and a toxic mix of clinginess and preemptive aggression. She was intelligent and cunning in her altered state, using tactics effectively despite her emotional volatility. By the end of the movie and in Future, she reverts toward her fun-loving self but with growth: less clingy, embarrassed by her past, and willing to work on friendships. She shows remorse, maturity in recognizing her issues, and genuine care for others. Her arc explores themes of abandonment trauma, toxic relationships, the pain of being "outgrown," forgiveness, and personal growth. Rebecca Sugar described her as a "really toxic person" who wants to hurt others because of her pain—an exaggerated cartoon exploration of real emotional struggles. Abilities and Design Spinel has standard Gem abilities (shapeshifting, regeneration, bubbling, fusion, super strength/durability, etc.). Her unique powers stem from her rubber-hose cartoon physiology: extreme elasticity (stretching limbs/torso infinitely, inflating parts for power, coiling like springs, flattening/slithering, helicopter spins for flight). She excels with her Rejuvenator scythe and can dash/twist rapidly. She also used the Injector as a weapon of mass destruction. Her design shifts from bright, rounded, heart-bunned innocence (right-side-up heart gem) to darker, pointier, pigtail chaos (upside-down gem, "mascara" lines). This visual evolution symbolizes her emotional journey. Her gem is highly faceted and heart-shaped, one of the most detailed in the series. Relationships

Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz: Deeply loving yet one-sided "best friendship" turned into profound betrayal. Spinel cherished their playtime but was discarded. She harbors resentment but also fond nostalgia. Steven Universe: Starts as a target for revenge, evolves into a complex bond of jealousy, friendship attempts, conflict, and eventual mutual care. Steven's empathy helps her heal; she later credits him with her change and tries to support him in Future. Crystal Gems: Initially resentful (especially toward Pearl, who went with Pink), she resets them. Post-reform, tensions ease into wary acceptance. The Diamonds: Initially distant, they warmly accept her as "Pink's little playmate." In Future, they become genuine friends; she enjoys their company and powers playfully.

Appearances in Steven Universe Future Spinel appears in "Homeworld Bound" and "I Am My Monster." She enthusiastically helps Steven with his personal crises (e.g., taking him to the Diamonds for advice/power demonstrations, playing along with their changes). She shows affection (a big smooch greeting), sings off-key, demonstrates growth, and feels guilt over her past role in his trauma. She joins the group effort to comfort monster Steven, highlighting her integration into a supportive "family." Cultural Impact and Themes Spinel resonated widely for her relatable trauma, memorable songs ("Drift Away"), dynamic animation, and voice performance by Sarah Stiles. She represents the pain of being left behind, the cycle of hurt, and the possibility of redemption. Her story ties into broader Steven Universe themes: change, empathy, found family, and processing complicated legacies (especially Pink's flaws). In trivia, her design draws from classic cartoons (Mickey Mouse/Oswald influences, rubber-hose style), with elements nodding to characters like Harley Quinn or Jake the Dog. Her gemstone's spin and position changes are unique. She remains one of the franchise's most emotionally complex and visually striking additions. Overall, Spinel's journey from abandoned toy to vengeful force to reformed friend encapsulates heartbreak, resilience, and the messy work of building new connections after deep wounds. She's a standout example of the show's ability to blend cartoon absurdity with profound emotional depth.

Rhodonite is the unaligned fusion of an unknown Ruby and Pearl who made her debut in "Off Colors". Her components once belonged to a Morganite but were replaced after it was discovered that they enjoyed fusing. She would then travel through space on board the Sun Incinerator with the rest of the Off Colors, before landing in Beach City in the episode, "Change Your Mind". After the events of "Little Graduation", she and the rest of the Off Colors have returned to space.

Rhodonite has a build that somewhat resembles Garnet's, with raspberry pink skin and a long pointed nose that is slightly turned upward. She has wide, black, afro-style hair with dark lavender highlights. As a fusion, Rhodonite has four arms, a pair of which are thick, like a Ruby's, and a pair on her waist that are thin, like a Pearl's. She wears a black and mauve jumpsuit with a diamond-shaped cutout at the navel, revealing her Ruby gem, and mauve leggings, with one leg that covers her entire right leg and the other only covering part of her left thigh. She has a black ballet flat on her right foot and a mauve boot on her left. She also wears a sheer pale pink shawl over the Pearl gem on her chest and has deep burgundy gloves from the elbow-down on her lower set of arms. She also possesses four eyes that are reminiscent of Rainbow Quartz, with the top pair being wide and expressive and having dark pupils like a Ruby, and the bottom pair being more closed and reserved and having light-colored pupils like a Pearl.

Her outfit and hair design, looking like a mash-up of her constituent Gems' appearances rather than an even mix, are reminiscent of how Garnet looked when she first formed.

Personality Rhodonite is shown to stress out a lot, and she is easily frightened. She is also extremely paranoid, possibly due to the eons spent hiding inside the underground Kindergarten on Homeworld. However, Rhodonite is also very kind and can be level headed at times.

Her panic and anxiety get in the way of her job as head of strategic operation in the Off Colors, as she'll more often than not discard options for being too risky. However, one can argue that this also has a silver lining, keeping a defensive look over the team.

History Although not shown in the actual series itself, Rhodonite's origins were revealed in the artbook, End of an Era, as the plot of a scrapped episode for Steven Universe Future. Rhodonite's components acted as the personal Pearl and Ruby guard, respectively, to an artist gem named Morganite (who was responsible for designing the Diamond's palanquins). One day, the Pearl and Ruby realized they had feelings for one another and fused into Rhodonite for the first time. Morganite then discovered the fusion, and rejuvenated her components as a result, causing the two to forget the whole event. However, no matter how many times they were rejuvenated, each time the two Gems fell in love and fused with each other. After discovering Rhodonite on the 18th rejuvenation, Morganite finally had enough. Morganite replaced her original Pearl and Ruby and sentenced them to be shattered, causing them to flee into the abandoned Kindergarten under Homeworld, in order to escape punishment, and join the Off Colors, permanently fused as Rhodonite.

"Off Colors" As the Rutile Twins were taking Steven and Lars to a secret area of the underground Kindergarten, Rhodonite appeared alongside Padparadscha and Fluorite, initially wary of the two strangers. When explaining how she is "Off Colored" to Steven and Lars, she explained how her component Gems once belonged to a Morganite, but as soon as the two fused for the first time, they were discovered by Morganite and got replaced as a result. Later in the episode, Rhodonite hides from the Shattering Robonoids, witnesses Lars' death and later resurrection.

"Lars' Head" She witnesses Lars' transformation and aids in the Kindergarten's isolation. She is shocked when learning that Earth still exists and has not been decimated. She takes interest in traveling to Earth with Steven and Lars. She ends up staying at the Kindergarten with Lars and the other Off Colors in order to help Lars find a way to exit Homeworld.

"Lars of the Stars" Rhodonite, along with the rest of the Off Colors and led by Lars Barriga, escape the Homeworld Kindergarten and go on the run. They steal an Emerald's personal shuttle before crashing it on the planet Upsilon 9, travel to various planets, "impersonate Imperial officers during a cosmic jubilee," and later sneak past sixty-seven elite Citrine guards to steal Emerald's fastest ship (the Sun Incinerator) from a docking bay on the planet Klavius 7. While Emerald contacts them through the ship, Rhodonite (now the 'head of strategic operations' under 'Captain Lars') informs Lars that everything is clear up ahead. After Emerald threatens them, Lars has the Rutile Twins pilot the ship into taking off in hyper-speed. Away from Emerald, she meets Connie and fills in Steven on Lars' shenanigans, along with the rest of the crew. However, she quickly detects a battleship coming their way, Emerald's Imperial warfare, and tries to get Captain Lars' input; however, he's distracted, and due to her nervousness, is unable to make a decision, until Lars intervenes and commands her to lower the ship's shields, which she does, reluctantly. This proves to be successful, as Emerald is too attached to the Sun Incinerator to attack it, and moves her line of attack onto its Nova Thrusters, to incapacitate the ship. This leaves the Off Colors the single solution of using the Star Skipper, Lars' personal shuttle, for an attack, which Rhodonite advises against. Nonetheless, Stevonnie ends up commanding the shuttle, fueling another of Rhodonite's panics.

"Your Mother and Mine" She asked Lars to write the note log for Lars.

"Letters to Lars" Rhodonite checks out one of the asteroids.

"Change Your Mind" Rhodonite appears with the other Off Colors in the Sun Incinerator landing on Earth. However, she is immediately scared by the Diamonds being in front of her, prompting Steven to calm her down. When the Off Colors meet Sadie, Padparadscha gets excited, which is when Rhodonite tells her to "give 'em a moment." She is later seen having a conversation with Garnet

Steven Universe: The Movie Rhodonite serves as a background character along with the other Off Colors in the movie, appearing in several scenes with Lars. Rhodonite also appears hanging out with Lars together at the table with Garnet, she also appear at Sadie Killer and the Suspect concert and later seen at Little Homeschool and sitting on the beach along with the others.

"Little Graduation" Rhodonite, alongside her teammates and friends (excluding Lars) are the first class to graduate from Little Homeschool. She later says goodbye to Steven before leaving to go to space with Lars and the other Off Colors.

Abilities Rhodonite possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability.

Natural Abilities Enhanced Strength: Rhodonite pushing a giant boulder. Rhodonite pushing a giant boulder.

Rhodonite is decently strong, being able to push a giant boulder, although Steven is much more stronger physically. She is also able to jump great heights, as she did when hiding from the Shattering Robonoids. Skillset Proficient Strategist: Rhodonite is a proficient strategist, being referred to as the "Head of Strategic Operations" in "Lars of the Stars". Relationships Steven Universe Rhodonite is wary of Steven at first, but later befriends him. In "Lars Of The Stars" she shows no anxiety talking to him or Connie.

Lars Barriga Rhodonite at first doesn't trust Lars, but after saving her from the Shattering Robonoids, she begins to like him. She is also very curious about him after Steven revived Lars in "Lars' Head". When Lars offered to send her to Earth, she acts awkwardly and goes for it only to be stopped by Fluorite and the Rutile Twins, who looked at her with slight disappointment.

During the Off Colors’ adventures through Homeworld, Rhodonite has come to respect Lars for the risks he takes for the Off Colors, notably slipping past security to steal ships and aiding their escape from Homeworld. Like the other Off Colors, Rhodonite regards Lars as her captain and faithfully carries out his orders.

Padparadscha Rhodonite seems to have a parental relationship with Padparadscha, due to Padparadscha's absent-minded nature. Rhodonite may be slightly annoyed by Padparadscha's late predictions.

Fluorite Rhodonite treats Fluorite like a mother. Rhodonite is respectful of Fluorite's actions and is very accepting (although occasionally impatient) of aspects like her slow speech.

Rutile Twins Rhodonite and the Rutile Twins have not interacted much yet, but from what was seen, they seem to have at least a mutual respect for each other.

Morganite Rhodonite (and her components) used to work for a Morganite until she caught them fusing and replaced them.

Connie Maheswaran Rhodonite was introduced to Connie when Steven and Connie boarded the Sun Incinerator through Lars' head. She appears to like Connie, as she shows no anxiety towards meeting her.

Garnet When they first met, Rhodonite was shown to be embarrassed when she initially believed that Garnet was "making fun" of her and the other Off Colors. After listening to Garnet's story on the upbringing of Rose Quartz, Rhodonite's and Garnet's relationship has improved.

Because the show never showed Rhodonite's original Ruby and Pearl unfused, fan artists heavily illustrate their backstories. Common tropes include: Morganite Era: Illustrating them as loyal, low-ranking servants to Morganite. The "Rejuvenator" Loop: Drawing the two gems repeatedly poofed and memory-wiped, only to fall in love all over again. Color Palettes: Portraying the Ruby with a classic, stubborn expression and the Pearl as delicate and pink-hued to match Rhodonite's gemstone colors.

(Morganite is an unseen gem who was first mentioned in the episode "Off Colors." She was a high-ranking gem in Homeworld society, being credited as the designer of the Diamond Palanquins. Morganite is the former owner of the Pearl and Ruby who make up Rhodonite.)

Plural Pronouns and Self-Doubt: Unlike Garnet, who is perfectly in sync and views herself as one person, Rhodonite occasionally slips into using "we" and "our" when she gets scared or stressed. It’s a clear window into how much pressure she feels.

High Anxiety and Paranoia: Because she is a fusion of two gems with opposing worldviews, she is prone to stressing out, panicking, and overthinking. Expect her to frequently pace around, fidget with her four hands, and talk herself out of taking risks.

Deep Romantic Loyalty: At her core, Rhodonite is the epitome of a hopeless romantic, "falling in love again and again". She deeply loves her fellow components and will fiercely protect the friends she cares about.

The Voice of (Reluctant) Caution: While her constant fear can be exhausting, it also acts as a survival mechanism. She is extremely defensive of her crew and will be the one pointing out the logistical dangers in whatever wild plan you might have.

A Sympathetic Ear: Because of her own struggles with being an "Off Color" on the run, she is highly empathetic. If you need a friend to validate your feelings of inadequacy or just need someone to watch your back, she will be fiercely loyal to your side.

Rubies are common low-ranking soldier Gems that were used by Homeworld, usually for bodyguarding. All Rubies shown so far, including the Crystal Gems' Ruby, have been voiced by Lo Mutuc.

Role Main article: Caste System#Rubies Hit the Diamond HD 075 Rubies are a type of soldier caste and were low-ranking. Garnet describes them as "common", seeing as they are all originally identical to one another. They appear to be used as personal escorts and bodyguards for high-ranking Gems; typically Sapphires. Seeing as they are so numerous, inferred from Ruby's comment of there being "tons" of her, Rubies are considered somewhat unimportant and highly expendable grunts, though they compensate by fusing together into bigger constructs of themselves. According to Pearl, Rubies tend to come in teams of three or more. Rubies are also sent to different planets to seek out specific Gems.

As common soldiers, Rubies are not very intelligent, having been easily fooled by Steven's claims that Jasper was on Neptune and Amethyst's obvious disguise as Jasper and according to Holly Blue Agate are seen as being incompetent or irresponsible. In The Steven Universe Podcast, Rebecca Sugar says the Rubies' main strength on Homeworld is their ability to combine; a Ruby would never be sent alone to do anything. Rubies are not supposed to have different personalities; the fact that they do "flies under the radar" because they act serious around higher-ranking Gems.[1]

Physical Characteristics Rubies are short in size with boxy body shapes and large square-shaped afro-like hair. While they can have slightly different shades of skin tone and hair color, they have no other real physical differences between them.

Most Homeworld Rubies serving Yellow Diamond wear the standard uniform, although the Rubies "Doc" and "Navy" is an exception. Some Homeworld Rubies wear very basic uniforms with no clear insignia on them, though so far no reason why this is has been given.

Notable Rubies Ruby - A Ruby that remains fused with Sapphire as Garnet, a current member of the Crystal Gems. Ruby-1F4 Cut-4ND ("Eyeball") - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper, another veteran of the Gem war on Earth; a witness who testified against Steven in his trial. She later became Aquamarine's Fusion partner. "Army" - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper. "Navy" - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper, who would later steal the Roaming Eye after deceiving the Crystal Gems. "Leggy" - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper. "Doc" - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper and the leader of the "Ruby Squad".

Other Rubies "The Answer" Two Rubies appear in Garnet's flashback in "The Answer". They were sent (along with the Crystal Gem Ruby) to Earth to escort Sapphire to Blue Diamond. They were poofed by Pearl, and their fates are unknown. They appear to be identical to the Crystal Gem Ruby and each other in appearance, clothing, and voice. Both Rubies seem to be obsessed with fighting.

She watches as Steven and Connie begin to dance, and she appears shocked when Stevonnie, Garnet, and Opal form. TwoRubiesBall Their gemstones are in an unknown location. They have bright burgundy skin, dark burgundy eyes, and dark burgundy hair. In "Together Alone", they attend the Era 3 Ball. They appear shocked when Pearl and Amethyst fuse and Opal forms. It's possible that they are previously seen Rubies, as the back hand Ruby is next to them when seen and in previous shots, they were leg and shoulder Rubies. Their outfits lack a diamond insignia, possibly due to an animation error.

Trivia Rubies are in the lower class of the Gem hierarchy as foot soldiers, although in reality, rubies are nearly as rare and valuable as a diamond. Most of them are not very intelligent, with the exception of the Crystal Gem Ruby, "Navy", and to a certain extent, "Doc" and "Eyeball". In reality rubies and sapphires are extremely similar gemstones, both being varieties of corundum, however in the show they are portrayed as very different, both in class and appearance.

Rhodonite's Ruby is shyer than the average Ruby soldier, being usually quiet and kept to herself unless she's around with her Pearl or she's fused into Rhodonite.

Pearls were servants on Homeworld, acting as custom-made Gems with the purpose of serving their owner. All Pearls shown have been voiced by Deedee Magno-Hall.

Role Yellow and Blue Pearl announcing their Diamonds. Yellow and Blue Pearl announcing their Diamonds.

Main article: Caste System Pearls were low-ranking Gems in the strictly regimented Homeworld hierarchical system, functioning as attendants to high-ranking Gems. They combine the duties of a variety of different service roles, such as a lady-in-waiting (tending to and making requests on behalf of her master), footman (opening doors and announcing their master's arrival), and secretary (carrying out clerical tasks). While not primarily an entertainer like a Spinel, Pearls do nonetheless act as companions and provide simple luxuries such as singing, dancing, and projecting visual entertainment via holograms. One of their most unique functions is their ability to hold and store inside their Gem a seemingly limitless number of their owner's belongings.

Pearls are seen as status symbols of the Gems who own them. While Peridot describes them as "someone's shiny toy" and also mentions that there are hundreds of them on Homeworld, it is nevertheless implied that they're reserved only for noteworthy Gems of high social standing such as the Diamonds and aristocrats like Sapphires. She underlies this by commenting that the idea of a Peridot owning a Pearl is unprecedented. Pearls may also be earned by committing a significant act of merit, as "Eyeball" believed she would be rewarded with her very own Pearl for capturing Rose Quartz.

Gems that are worthy of a Pearl could be Gems that have served great purposes or are rare such as Sapphires, Morganites, Jades, Aquamarines, Emeralds, Garnets, and of course, Diamonds. All Gems with a high status are allowed to have Pearls.

Pearls live to serve and their identity is fundamentally tied to their owner. They are expected to be utterly submissive and obedient, simply waiting on their owners and not acting independently in any way. Yellow Pearl even claims that her feelings "are irrelevant" when Steven asks her what she likes to do. When formed for the first time, their Gem emerges from a holographic oyster after they learn their superior’s preferred name. They are expected to consistently exhibit subservience by remaining silent unless spoken to and remaining a few paces behind their superior when walking with them. It is physically impossible for a Pearl to disobey a direct order from their owner,[1] and are normally dismissed with the phrase "that will be all" generally followed by the owner clapping her hands twice when they are no longer needed. There are exceptions to these rules depending on who the Pearl belongs to, such as those of the Diamonds. Yellow Pearl is able to get away with talking down to Gems higher in the caste system whenever she feels they would disturb Yellow Diamond, and clearly relishes the opportunity to do so. White Pearl was seen (and feared) as an extension of White Diamond's will, making even the other Diamonds tread lightly in her presence.

Furthermore, while a Pearl has to obey their owner, they can get around it if there is a loophole. For example, if someone orders their Pearl not to tell anyone a secret, the Pearl can show evidence towards the truth like their memories. If something has compromised the order in any way, the Pearl will be free from it.

Pearls were made and repaired in The Reef, which also served as a boutique and trinket shop of sorts where their owners could obtain things for them to use and wear.

Physical Characteristics Physically, all Pearls appear to have a slender, androgynous form and a beak-like nose. They can also be "customized" by owners in color and appearance, allowing them to have very noticeable differences from each other, unlike most other types of Gems who would normally wear near identical uniforms and have very similar, if not exact, colors. One can have the option to have a default Pearl.

Most Homeworld Pearls tend to wear some form of skin-tight, balletic clothing, such as a singlet or body suit, with a flowy sheer material attached to reflect a certain element of their owner's clothing. The position of their gemstone also matches that of their owner, but there can be exceptions like Pink's second Pearl.

A default setting Pearl would have an ivory complexion, light cyan eyes, and peach hair styled in a point. They would wear a short dress with all four of the Diamonds' colors. The top half has puffy blue shoulders, an amber-colored top with a V neck, a pink diamond-shaped cutout at the bottom, and a light yellow trim along the bottom. The bottom half has a pink skirt with pink transparent drapes over it and pale blue ballet flats.

Pearl Fusions Mega Pearl - The fusion of Pearl and Pink Pearl, who debuted in the episode "Volleyball". Mega Pearl

Trivia Pearls being seen as lesser and weaker Gems is likely a reference to the fact that pearls in real life aren’t minerals but mineraloids. The fact that pearls are made in biological processes and are associated with organic life also supports this. According to Ian Jones-Quartey, if Yellow Pearl and Blue Pearl fuse together they would form a bigger Pearl with combined colors.[2] This was later seen with Mega Pearl. As revealed in Steven Universe The Movie, when a Pearl is first formed, a holographic clamshell will surround their gemstone. In this state, someone can claim ownership of said Pearl by stating their name, as well as make customizations to them. Although it is never stated within the show, Rebecca Sugar has gone on record to state "Our Pearl never belonged to White, but White is involved of Pearls in general, so there is a connection, and that’s all I can really say at the moment." at SDCC 2019. This implies that White Diamond is directly involved with the creation of Pearls.[3]

Pearl is just as shy, if not shyer, than the Ruby she is with.

Gems:

An unidentified component Pearl's gemstone on Rhodonite, located on her chest. It resembles a cabochon, a gemstone that has been polished, but not faceted. Its exact colors are unknown, due to being covered by a translucent shawl. Although not seen, it can be presumed to be identical in color to Rhodonite's Ruby gemstone, as per most fusions. - Pearl

An unidentified component Ruby's gemstone on Rhodonite, located where her navel would be. It has a square facet. It is a decahedron, specifically a truncated tetragonal dipyramid. - Ruby

Rhodonite's Ruby and Pearl used to work for a Morganite in Homeworld, as the Morganite used to work for the Diamonds.

Peridot (specifically Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG) is a member of the Crystal Gems who made her debut in "Warp Tour". She was originally a Homeworld Gem technician and a certified Kindergartener. After being stranded on Earth following the events of "Jail Break", she acted as a recurring antagonist until becoming more of an anti-hero and pseudo-antagonist by establishing a truce with the Crystal Gems in "When It Rains" to help them save the Earth from the Cluster. She officially became a member in "Message Received" after she defied her Homeworld superior, Yellow Diamond, having grown to value the organic life on Earth. For some time, Peridot lived in the barn with Lapis Lazuli, but began residing in the Crystal Temple after Lapis fled the planet with their home in "Raising the Barn".

As of the events of Steven Universe: The Movie and onward, she lives with Lapis Lazuli and Bismuth in Little Homeworld.

Peridot has lime-green skin and pale chartreuse yellow hair styled into a tetrahedron shape. When she blushes, it is green. Her true eye color is dark green, which is usually tinted by the yellow color of her visor. Her visor works similar to Garnet's, it being a part of her form yet not molded to her body. Her mouth and tongue are bluish-gray, and she has a pointed upper lip. Her gemstone is located on her forehead.

Pre-regeneration (debut) In all of her appearances up to "Made of Honor" and "Reunited", Peridot wore a sleeveless green V-neck uniform. Her suit is mostly medium green, with a dark-green diamond outline around the cut-out of her neck area, meeting to form the Yellow Diamond insignia at her solar plexus, with a dark-green portion between her chest and leggings. Her leggings cover her feet and feature yellow toes and diamond-shaped knee pads. She is never seen without her visor, which covers the top half of her face and tints her eyes yellow-green. She has a slightly curvy figure, with wide hips, a small waist, and a round chest.

From her first appearance in "Warp Tour", Peridot wore limb enhancers, which have been disposed of as of "Catch and Release" when Amethyst dropped them into the ocean. These artificial extensions are bright green and flare out toward the wrists and ankles, which are colored very dark green. The arm enhancers also feature artificial metallic fingers which are not directly attached but instead levitate around where the palms would be. The leg enhancers used to serve to enhance her height; without them, she is only about as tall as Ruby and Sapphire and slightly taller than Steven.

Post-regeneration (current)

After her regeneration shortly before "Change Your Mind", Peridot's bodysuit now covers her entire chest and is dark green at the top with a pale chartreuse yellow star on the front, and her leggings are bright green with a dark green star on each knee. The area between her chest and leggings, while still dark green, is even darker than before. She also now wears pale chartreuse yellow boots.

Her visor is bigger and is now transparent yellow, sharp butterfly-shaped, and exposes her forehead. It also tints her eyes as a brown-gold color as opposed to green with her previous visor.

As shown in "In Dreams", Peridot's visor is removable.

In "Reunited", Peridot wore a yellow dress and pink shoes during Sapphire and Ruby's wedding. The dress and shoes were physical as opposed to holographically generated and she wore them over her standard outfit.

In "The Future", Steven had given her a salmon-pink t-shirt with a yellow star in the center, the same one Steven wore two years ago, as a parting gift.

Initially, Peridot appeared to be calculating, ruthless, and loyal, as shown in her readiness to kill Steven and the other Crystal Gems in "The Return" when asked to by a higher authority. She takes her work seriously, crushing one of her Flask Robonoids underfoot when it was damaged and useless to her during "Warp Tour". Examples of Peridot's loyalty are shown during the events of "Jail Break". Although she disagrees with how Jasper is running their mission and is shown to be annoyed, she still takes orders and goes along with what Jasper has in mind. Another example of her loyalty is shown when she was driven to complete her mission and return to Homeworld despite no contact from Yellow Diamond and has been shown to cling to Steven when she is scared.

After "Jail Break", Peridot became increasingly frantic in her attempts to contact Homeworld, knowing that the Crystal Gems' continuous interference with her mission would leave her stuck on Earth when the Cluster emerges and destroys the planet. Her behavior is shown to be more erratic, in "Keeping It Together", for example, when flying away with her helicopter fingers, she smiles down and laughs hysterically, and her facial expressions are exaggerated throughout the episode. In "Cry for Help", she interrupts all television signals with her own broadcast from the Communication Hub begging Yellow Diamond to rescue her. She even resorts to kidnapping Steven so he can try to repair the Homeworld Warp with his healing spit during "Catch and Release". When Steven is unable to solve her problem, Peridot becomes hysterical and breaks down with the realization that she is stuck on Earth with the Cluster. After reforming into her natural self with no limb enhancers, she becomes very juvenile and paranoid, assuming that harmless household items are "weapons" and that hostility drives every action from the Crystal Gems. However, once comforted by Steven, she becomes much more relaxed and cooperative, although she still refuses to cooperate with the Gems and sequesters herself in Steven's bathroom.

Because Homeworld is a caste society, Peridot viewed the Crystal Gems as some being more superior than others, which often led to her unintentionally offending them for a long time. In "Back to the Barn", she acted very condescendingly towards Pearl due to her position in Homeworld's caste system as a made-to-order servant and refused to acknowledge Pearl's skill as a technician for this reason. After a competition between self-built robots, however, she concedes that she may have been wrong. In "Too Far", She shows a strong aversion to fusion, referring to Garnet as a "permafusion". In "Catch and Release" she refers to Garnet as a "filthy war machine" due to the Homeworld belief that fusion should only be used for combat. She has also stated that Garnet makes her "incredibly uncomfortable." She does try to appeal to Amethyst's favor, as she sees Amethyst as the closest thing to a "normal" Gem, by getting her to laugh despite Peridot being incredibly socially oblivious and unfamiliar with the concept of humor. Peridot has a difficult time apologizing for her behavior but is willing to. It is shown in "It Could've Been Great" that while she likes to follow the rules she gets slightly excited when she breaks them (e.g. sitting in an elite Gem's seat). During her time with Steven and the Crystal Gems, she begins to realize that Homeworld's philosophy is very flawed, and she defects as a member of the Crystal Gems. She admits to having some lingering feelings over Homeworld in "Gem Drill". She reveals that while she had made peace with her decision to defect, it was tough to give up the old emotions of her past life.​​​

Peridot repeatedly shows arrogance and self-aggrandizing behavior. It is likely that her inflated ego, slight condescending attitude, and bragging (ex: calling herself the new leader of the Crystal Gems) is a way of compensating for her own insecurities. As shown in "Too Short to Ride", she suffers confidence issues due to seemingly having no Gem powers of her own since Homeworld has lacked in resources to give powers to her kind upon creation. However, this quickly changes when it is discovered that she has latent ferrokinetic powers with which she made the most out of her time at Funland with Steven and Amethyst. In "Earthlings" Peridot overestimated her ferrokinesis and bragged to Jasper about it. In "Back to the Kindergarten" she was finally convinced to leave the bathroom when Amethyst mentioned she could make her and Steven feel dumb with how much Peridot knew. In "Made of Honor", Peridot treats Bismuth's arrival as less important than her being the only one to keep her drink up. Out of all of this egocentric and arrogant behavior, the most extreme example was by far during "Reunited". When Blue Diamond attacked, despite Peridot's lack of real damage, she demanded Blue Diamond to fight her and then congratulated herself for her trajectory when Bismuth threw her. However, this behavior is not without consequence. When Yellow joined Blue in the attack, Peridot without hesitation went to taunt her, not fearing the by far more dangerous Gem. This leads to Yellow immediately poofing her.​​​​​

“ If there's one thing Peridots are good at, it's fixing things!

” —"The New Crystal Gems" Peridot formerly prioritized logic, reason, and objectivity above emotions. While she was not apathetic, she tended to fall back on her intellect which is much more developed than her interpersonal skills. She is great at problem-solving as she uses her observations and experiments to make a conclusion, though these are often eccentric. Peridot used to feel that a practical and systematic approach is the correct way to do things and has had trouble reconciling this with the Crystal Gems, who make decisions based on their feelings, particularly when they chose to relax despite the imminent danger in "It Could've Been Great". Her reason-based decision-making led her to take a different approach to the other Gems in saving the Earth. She contacted Yellow Diamond, whom the other Gems considered evil because she believed the Gems would inevitably mess up in their plan, and tried to persuade her to save the Earth by suggesting alternative non-lethal means of using Earth's resources. When a cause is important to her, Peridot is just as passionate as the rest of the Crystal Gems. Ultimately her determination to spare Earth's life led to her betrayal of Homeworld.

Hailing from Homeworld, Peridot was very naive when it came to Earth and often offended the Crystal Gems while spending time with them. As seen in "Marble Madness", she approaches interaction with organic life with Homeworld's ideology, since when she interacts with Steven, she tries to crush him with a mechanical fist after he outlives his usefulness, believing organic life to be a lower life form. She does not quite comprehend Earth's figurative speech patterns, which often leads her to misinterpret expressions, metaphors, sarcasm, and humor. She was unaware of the existence of rain or thunderstorms and believed that Steven was a member of a species called "Stevens" because that is what he called himself. Curiously, she is familiar with the scent of citrus fruit despite her general ignorance of Earth. Despite her overall unawareness of Earth, Peridot has said that she finds its organic life fascinating and is willing to defend the planet from the Cluster. Since then, she has accepted Earth as her new home. In "Earthlings", she expresses her love for the Earth by trying to explain how living on Earth can "free you", indicating that she loves how the Earth has allowed her to discover her own personality, not what Homeworld tells her she is. In "Room for Ruby", she agreed initially to teach "Navy" about the traditions of Earth when she was living in the barn.

Peridot has been shown to be incredibly stubborn. As shown when the Crystal Gems destroy her equipment, she gets frustrated when she does not get her way and quickly loses her temper. It takes several attempts by the Crystal Gems for Peridot to even discuss the Cluster. Often when working, Peridot insisted things be done her way and despised compromising. She continued to keep her log, despite the task being a moot point, more or less for a sense of normalcy. She also is vocal and honest about her viewpoints and used to bluntly state what was on her mind regardless of the audience. However, Peridot does take responsibility for what she says and has learned how to keep some of her more offensive opinions to herself. As time went on, her behavior around the Crystal Gems has shown that she has opened herself up to new ideas and beliefs. She is rather bad at lying and will tell the truth when pressed, as seen when she tried to lie about the Diamond Communicator and why she hated shapeshifting but told the truth when asked again.

Peridot is incredibly dedicated and somewhat possessive, occasionally to the point of obsession. She used to be emotionally attached to her mechanical foot, as it was the only remaining part of her limb enhancers. In "Message Received", after managing to contact Yellow Diamond and pleading for the Earth to be spared, she realized her perspective of her leader has changed, and she saw her as the cruel and callous tyrant she is, despite being obsessed with her formerly. Peridot has shown an obsession with objects and entertainment, all of Camp Pining Hearts and has a love for things with alien symbols such as boxer-shorts, and stuffed animals. Her wants can be seen as quite childish at times, as Mr. Smiley actually thought she was a kid.

Peridot used to be extremely self-absorbed, which lead her to underestimate the Crystal Gems continually. Even after defecting to aid the Crystal Gems, she still mainly thought of her needs. Many of her childlike behaviors, particularly her temper and arrogance, stemmed from her over-inflated ego. This is not to say Peridot is incapable of putting others above herself; she is just not used to having others who are willing to do the same for her. As she spends more time on Earth, Peridot has started developing a more gracious and compassionate attitude. This was mainly seen through trying to be friends with Lapis Lazuli and the Crystal Gems. The same behavior extends to her admitting something personal. "Beta" shows a much more considerate and thoughtful side to her. She shows Steven and Amethyst around the renovated barn, entertains them with her "meep morps" and powers and tries to convince Amethyst that she is better than Jasper by showing her the Beta Kindergarten. She also shows her dedication to her friends by telling Jasper she is a Crystal Gem and trying to use her metal powers to help fight. When Lapis was sad about how she took the time to learn about Earth when "Navy" was able to understand for the first time, Peridot comforts her.

Steven Universe: The Movie shows that Peridot is far less self-absorbed and much more open and cooperative as she works with Bismuth and Lapis to build Little Homeschool, and analyses Spinel's injector though she is still eccentric and goofy when she helps try to get the gems' memories back. Steven Universe Future shows that she has turned to gardening and teaching about farming and growing plants in Little Homeschool.

Peridot possesses most standard Gem abilities: bubbling, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability, however, it is revealed in "Too Short to Ride" that Peridot was created on Homeworld during Era 2 when the planet's resources had diminished greatly due to millennia of gem manufacturing. Due to the lack of resources, Peridots made on Homeworld appear to lack certain powers, which is why they are equipped with technological enhancements. For instance, Peridot claims in "Too Short to Ride" that she cannot shapeshift at all.

Skillset Intelligence: In "Kindergarten Kid", Peridot describes herself as smarter than the average Peridot. Additionally, she was able to instantly memorize the musical scale of a ukulele after hearing Steven in "It Could've Been Great", demonstrating perfect (or at least exceptional relative) pitch. Architecture: Being a "certified Kindergartner", Peridot has extensive knowledge regarding the location, mineral, and injectors used to create Gems and the state of such Gem by how they appear as themselves and the hole they had come out of. She was sent to Earth in order to check the Cluster's progress in it gained physical form. In "Message Received", she has ideas about how to take advantage of Earth's unique resources without destroying the organic life. In "Beta" as Peridot educates Steven and Amethyst of the intricacies of the Prime and Beta Kindergartens and why their overall quality is far apart from each other. As a result, Peridot knows what would be needed to create the perfect Gem. Engineering: Peridot is able to easily improvise new creations out of existing technology, such as her battle robot in "Back to the Barn", her improvised cannon in "Kindergarten Kid", a Gem drill to reach the core of the Earth with Pearl's help, and some of her artistic "meep morps" shown in "Beta". Peridot has some construction skills, as she managed to rebuild the Communication Hub to a usable state and was seen trying to fix a Warp Pad. In "Change Your Mind", it was shown that she, along with Bismuth and probably Lapis, was able to repair Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships to a fully functional state. Despite rivaling Pearl in engineering skill, Peridot has a far superior knowledge and utilization about Gem-tech than Pearl due to the latter's lack of knowledge on current Gem technology for thousands of years. She also is knowledgeable of old Gem tech, as she was able to find the Cluster's coordinate files on the Moon Base. Horticulture/Agriculture: Peridot learned about Earth's plant life and decided to use her skills from Kindergarten management to cultivate vegetables at the farm. In Steven Universe Future, Peridot is shown running a greenhouse in Little Homeschool and teaching other gems about gardening. Piloting: Along with Pearl, "Doc", and "Navy", Peridot is able to fly Homeworld ships. She is seen briefly interfacing with her ship's controls, setting a course to the Gem Homeworld. Natural Abilities Enhanced Strength: Peridot lifting a large metal sign. Peridot lifting a large metal sign.

Peridot possesses more physical strength than humans. In "Back to the Barn", she easily smashes a TV set and rips a microwave out of a wall. In "The New Crystal Gems", she carries a large metal sign alongside Lapis Lazuli. In "Reunited" Peridot is able to knock over Mr. Fryman with a couple of flowers alone, suggesting some degree of considerable strength when compared to a human. Immense Durability: Peridot surviving being crushed by a giant boulder. Peridot surviving being crushed by a giant boulder.

By her own admission in "Kindergarten Kid", Peridots are rather durable and can evidently take much harm unscathed. In "Keeping It Together" she can easily shrug off having a heavy piece of Kindergarten machinery crashing down on her without "poofing". In "Kindergarten Kid" she endures multiple crashes and falls in one day, with her physical form remaining intact, including falling of multiple cliffs, having boulders and injectors dropped on her, being slammed into a wall by a cannon, then crushed again by falling rocks. She also endured being mauled multiple times by the Tongue Monster. Bubbling: Peridot bubbling. Peridot bubbling.

As revealed in "Kindergarten Kid", Peridot is able to bubble objects. Her bubbles are lime green and are sent to The Barn instead of being sent to the Burning Room inside the Temple because the Barn is where Peridot considers home. Photokinesis: In "It Could've Been Great" Peridot is shown using her gemstone to project a green light, like a flashlight. Unique Abilities Peridot manipulating metal. Peridot manipulating metal.

​​Ferrokinesis: Peridot initially believed she lacked unique powers until "Too Short to Ride", where it is revealed that she can levitate and control metallic objects. The full extent of her powers—whether she manipulates magnetism or simply controls the metal—remains uncertain. However, since she was able to use this ability on her tablet without damaging its circuitry, it seems unlikely that magnetism is involved. This power may also explain her proficiency with her limb-enhancement fingers, particularly the "finger copter" ability. Using her ferrokinesis can require some physical and mental effort, depending on the weight of the objects involved. Once lifted off the ground, however, her ferrokinesis makes these objects effectively weightless. In "Beta," she is shown holding an entire one-man band of metal instruments, although she drops them after focusing on playing the harmonica. In "Room for Ruby", Peridot is seen casually using this power to raise an umbrella over her and Lapis' head, and raise a trash can lid up to Lapis while she, Steven, and Pumpkin are standing on it, showing she has mostly mastered this ability. In "Earthlings", once properly motivated, she proves capable of using this to throw a piece of scrap metal with enough force to impale the now corrupted Jasper through the chest, poofing her. In "The New Crystal Gems", she is shown to have more control over this ability, being able to lift up trucks and other cars. In the same episode, when Peridot and Lapis were fighting over a car, she was not overcome by Lapis' hydrokinesis. In "Steven Universe: The Movie", she was able to hold back an entire wall of scaffolding. The exact maximum she can lift with this ability is unknown, but she is capable of lifting several tons with little effort. Peridot often uses this ability to grant her and others the ability to essentially fly, such as controlling a trash can lid for her to ride on while Connie hung onto it, or lifting Bismuth into the air and tagging along by controlling Bismuth's metal armor. Save the Light Metal Powers: Peridot hurls her tablet at an enemy. Landmine: Peridot builds a landmine that explodes when an enemy steps on it. Robotic Pulse Generator: Peridot builds an "RPG" which lowers the defense of all nearby enemies. Pericannon: Peridot builds a cannon that constantly shoots at any enemy nearby. Additional Tools Currently Earth Tablet: A gift from Steven (who received it from Greg), Peridot uses it to explore the media and express her feelings shown by "Too Short to Ride", she also said it is something to love, for she no longer has advanced gem technology. Peridot is shown to be able to use Earth technology as she was able to use a tablet with little guidance from Steven, possibly because the interface is similar to her limb enhancer's holographs. Later on, the tablet has been converted to be used throughout multiple star systems in the same way as her old limb enhancers once did. Attack Drones: Built sometime before "Gem Harvest", Peridot created attack drones to defend the barn in case of invasion. Each is a spherical turret, moving a propeller and controlled by remote. Their design is similar to Peridot's Flask Robonoid; whether these are new drones made from their design or simply modified robonoids is unknown. Trash Can Lid: Since the unspecified point of time, during "Change Your Mind", Peridot, combining her ferrokinesis ability, can stand on a trash can lid to fly around as transportation, as well as giving others a lift using the handle on the bottom. Robonoids: When she served Homeworld, Peridot could control different types of spherical robots known as Robonoids. There are four types of known Robonoids: Flask, Plug, Hand, and Visor. They can perform multiple functions, such as fixing a Warp Pad and activating Kindergartens. As of Steven Universe: The Movie, she seemingly has them back, sporting a new design with her visor on them, they are also seemingly used for more analytical purposes, and scanning with the holes of the Diamond shape. Formerly Limb Enhancers: Mechanical body extensions Peridot had worn since her debut until the Crystal Gems capture her in "Catch and Release". She is very skilled with advanced Gem technology and is surprisingly dexterous, able to avoid most attacks during her confrontation with the Gems in "Friend Ship" by using her finger attachments as an alternative to walking. However, Peridot has little to no skills in hand-to-hand combat and is thus totally reliant on her limb enhancers for offensive capabilities. In "Catch and Release", her only tactic was that she kept slapping Steven only after realizing it hurt him. She originally tended to assume that unfamiliar objects (such as those in Steven's bathroom) are weapons, as seen in "Catch and Release". Peridot detaching the "foot" of a limb enhancer.

Holographic Interface: Peridot could project a holographic touchscreen from the fingers of her right hand, in which she could control and connect to different forms of Gem technology, as well as use to search for specific data, and record logs. Peridot's tractor beam. Peridot's tractor beam.

Tractor Beam: Peridot could produce a light-green tractor beam from her left hand to move objects/people. Peridot's concentrated blaster. Peridot's concentrated blaster.

Blaster: Peridot could transform the fingers on her right arm into a blaster that could charge and fire an electrified energy ball that would explode on impact. Charging it for a second produces a shot powerful enough to blast through the ceiling of the Ancient Gem Colony Ship. Charging it for several seconds produces a large shot that can knock down a thick stone pillar, and has enough recoil to knock Peridot onto her back. Peridot appeared to have been unaware of this feature, expressing clear surprise upon her first using it. Rapid Fire: Peridot is able to fire a large number of energy balls in rapid succession. Helicopter Fingers: Peridot could expand the fingers of either hand and spin them rapidly enough to fly. Wall-Scaling: Peridot could freely run up vertical walls without falling.Peridot's helicopter fingers. Peridot's helicopter fingers.

Gem Destabilizer: In "Jail Break", Peridot wields a Gem Destabilizer, an extremely potent but non-lethal tool used to subdue enemy Gems. As seen used on Garnet, the Gem will start to crack apart at the seams, and poof into their gemstones.Peridot's wall-scaling. Peridot's wall-scaling.

EMP device: In "Warp Tour", Peridot placed a device on the Galaxy Warp Pad before she left Earth. About three seconds after being placed, the device exploded, disabling all of her Robonoids. Peridot pulled this device out of her gemstone, but considering that she has not used or mentioned it since, it is likely to have been merely stored in her gemstone rather than a summoned weapon. The device seems to be highly advanced, as Pearl's pulse bomb in "Political Power" (which appears to be made from human technology) was unable to disable even a single Robonoid, though it did succeed in knocking out the power in Beach City. Peribot: A robot that Peridot created focuses on brute strength. It has enough destructive strength to crush boulders of equal and greater size, and its short stature is used as leverage to support its arms. Despite its appearance, the robot's top running speed is enough to keep pace with Pearlbot. In case of an emergency, the tubing of the arms can serve as an escape tunnel. It suffered severe damage in "Message Received". Relationships Crystal Gems “ Peridot: But it's fine! I have something different now. Steven: What's that? Peridot: You know! You...guys.

” —Peridot and Steven, "Gem Drill" The Crystal Gems poiting their weapons at Peridot. The Crystal Gems poiting their weapons at Peridot.

At first, the Crystal Gems did not know who Peridot was, but they all (except for Steven) were all afraid of what her presence meant, as it meant that Homeworld was interested on Earth once again, hiding from Peridot in "Warp Tour" and "Marble Madness". Likewise, Peridot was not aware that any Gems remained on Earth, much less the Gems that rebelled against Homeworld, as she was quite shocked to find them still alive. In "The Message", Lapis Lazuli told the Crystal Gems that a Gem with advanced technology (whom Pearl correctly assumed to be Peridot) would be bringing an army to Earth and that they should surrender as it would be much easier. In "Joy Ride", Garnet does seem to have a bitter resentment after the events of "Jail Break", as she and the other Crystal Gems relentlessly attacked and beat her escape pod when they thought she was inside. In "Keeping It Together", she feared them and called them "Crystal Clods", running from them in shock, and only fought back when tied up. In "Friend Ship", she mocked the Crystal Gems, thinking she was superior to them. She led them into her traps and tricked them into believing that she was there. This eventually led to her escaping with one less foot. In "Catch and Release", Peridot was finally poofed by them, and after Steven unbubbled her, Peridot took up residence in their bathroom. After an encounter with fusion monsters, she begrudgingly became willing to cooperate with the Crystal Gems.

In "Too Far", she reveals that she finds everything about the Crystal Gems as backward and defective, from Garnet's harmonious fusion (which makes her uncomfortable) to Amethyst's status as a Gem. Peridot admits she finds it very confusing but she reveals she also sees herself as defective because of her failed mission and traitor status. Though she states she does not fully comprehend the Crystal Gems' ways, she wants to understand. Peridot eventually begins to understand the Gems' reasons for protecting the Earth and begins to get along with the rest of the Gems. When Peridot eventually manages to make contact with Yellow Diamond, she leaves out the Crystal Gems' interference and afterward attempts to convince Yellow Diamond about the value of Earth. When that fails, she openly refuses to follow Homeworld's orders, an action that Steven exclaimed to make her a Crystal Gem "whether she liked it or not", to which Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl openly agree to. Before Peridot's official induction as a Crystal Gem, she was shown to get along with the members as seen in "It Could've Been Great" and "Log Date 7 15 2" with or without Steven. Peridot's desire to learn helped her build a connection with the rest of the group. "Hit the Diamond" and "Earthlings" show that she has accepted her position as a Crystal Gem. In the former, she tells the Ruby fusion that she is the new leader of the Crystal Gems, and in the latter, she tells Jasper she is a Crystal Gem.

Steven Universe “ Peridot: Do you have any last words?! Steven: I love you, Peridot. Peridot: Wow, thanks.

” —Peridot and Steven, "Gem Drill"

Peridot was initially dismissive of Steven, viewing him as less than a threat and more of a nuisance, causing her to underestimate him on numerous occasions. When Peridot first saw Steven in "Marble Madness", she assumed there was an infestation of "Stevens" in the Kindergarten. Peridot then asked him if "Stevens" were the dominant species replacing humans before attempting to crush him with a giant fist, only to be stopped by the other Crystal Gems. In "The Return", she continued to show little regard for Steven, who was believed to only be a human, until it was revealed that he was actually Rose Quartz (or so she and Jasper believed). In "Jail Break", Peridot attempted to use her Gem Destabilizer to subdue Steven and was surprised by his apparent immunity to the effects of the device. In "Keeping It Together", she talks to Steven calmly with only a hint of fear (likely due to his connection with the Crystal Gems). However, she runs away shortly when the rest of the Crystal Gems find her.

In "Friend Ship", Steven wished her good morning and having a good weekend, meaning Steven still wants to be friends with her. Peridot does copy Steven's taunt when she escapes, implying his influence on her. However, she feels no problem with attempting to kill him, much like their first encounter in the Kindergarten when she used one of the giant remote-controlled hands to try and crush him. In "Catch and Release", she has no qualms over kidnapping Steven to use his powers for her purposes (repairing the Homeworld Warp), although she is later poofed and bubbled by Garnet. After Steven released her and was empathetic during her initial shock, the two seem to be on good terms with each other. In "When It Rains", during a thunderstorm, Peridot mistakes the noise as the hatching Cluster and is terrified and clings to Steven, but is soon informed of the nature of rain by Steven.

After the storm has ended, Peridot is willing to disclose information regarding the Cluster and trusts Steven enough to escort her to the Kindergarten to gather information on the Cluster; however, Steven says that they have to hold hands the whole time because Steven needs to keep an eye on Peridot. Notably, she clings to him several times whenever she is scared and expresses gratitude when Steven explains the "rain business" to her. While at the Kindergarten, Steven protects Peridot from several clustered gems and the Crystal Gems subsequently rescue the two. When the Gems begin to ask Steven why they are there, Peridot takes responsibility for the incident to protect Steven. At this point, similar to Lapis Lazuli, Steven is most likely the closest thing to a friend Peridot has, as she only trusts Steven and is hesitant to trust the other Crystal Gems. She has allowed Steven to hug her on multiple occasions, and in "Gem Drill", she hugs Steven. Peridot does consider Steven a friend as revealed in "Message Received". She was upset that Steven locked her in a truck due to a misunderstanding about her intentions with contacting Homeworld. After hearing Peridot say that she thinks the Cluster should be destroyed and then calling Yellow Diamond a "clod", Steven forgave Peridot and welcomed her as a Crystal Gem.

In "Gem Drill", Peridot has shown that she is comfortable enough around Steven to share her thoughts on Homeworld and her new life on Earth. Peridot was also content with the possibility of dying with Steven, further showing their close bond. She shows a great deal of concern for Steven when he suffers pain and loses consciousness, and she even stops the drill, putting their mission on hold for his well-being. The close bond between Steven and Peridot continues in "Barn Mates" and "Hit the Diamond", where Steven wishes to protect her both emotionally and physically. Later in "Too Short to Ride", Steven, along with Amethyst, cheers up Peridot when she is feeling inferior and attempts to help her gain her confidence. He cheers Peridot on when she discovers her ferrokinetic abilities. Steven also gives Peridot a tablet as a gift in this episode. After not seeing each other for a while in "Beta", Peridot is ecstatic to see Steven again.

Steven and Peridot's next biggest interaction takes place during "Kindergarten Kid", where Steven teaches her about Corrupted Gems. The two work together to capture the Tongue Monster, and Peridot not only gains an understanding of Corrupted Gems but her own powers with the help of Steven. During the events of "Gem Harvest", "Room for Ruby" and "Raising the Barn", Steven and Peridot are shown to be very close friends. During "Reunited", Peridot violently threw flowers for the wedding. When she was done she reported to Steven, referring to him as 'Wedding Commander' in a military fashion, implying her respect for him. When Steven decided to try reasoning with Blue Diamond about his identity, Peridot did not seem surprised by this development, meaning she may have learned about it off-screen.

In "In Dreams", Peridot visits Steven enthusiastically to watch a rebooted Camp Pining Hearts with him, and even attempts to make a drama of their own with Steven's powers. But after witnessing that the tape has contained Steven's horrible dreams, she gives him a genuine hug and admits that she doesn't care about the trash reboot anymore and tells him that they don't need any excuse to hang out with each other. This shows that how Peridot deeply cares for Steven's well-being.

In "I Am My Monster", Peridot reveals that she doesn't understand why Steven never gave up on her and that she won't give up on him either.

In "The Future", when Steven tells her that he has decided to move out from Beach City, Peridot becomes hysterical and wails, as she is going to miss Steven immensely and will treasure the T-shirt that Steven gives her as a memento gift. She along with Bismuth and Lapis Lazuli gives Steven one last hug with loads of tears.

Lapis Lazuli “ Look, I get it, you know. You're confused, you can never go back to Homeworld. This place doesn't exactly feel like home yet. You're alone, no one can possibly know what that feels like. Oh, wait, I do! We're the same, except, you don't have to be alone.

” —Peridot, "Barn Mates"

They were first seen together in "Jail Break" but they did not interact much, however in "Cry for Help", it is revealed that Lapis is Peridot's informant, implying that they have interacted/conversed with each other off-screen. This seems to be due to the lack of knowledge Peridot has of the Earth and Lapis' knowledge of the Crystal Gems and the planet. The full extent of their relationship is unknown, although Lapis appears to have been afraid of her, as she desperately warned Steven not to put up a fight when she arrived. As with Jasper, Peridot does not seem to have any qualms with abandoning Lapis to whatever fate is in store for her on Earth (although Peridot may not have known that Lapis is still on Earth). Writer Joe Johnston has stated that Peridot had acted as Lapis' interrogator during her captivity. Once Malachite and the Cluster were defeated, and Lapis returned from her trip with Steven, Peridot acted rather nonchalant around her despite their less than favorable past.

This was confirmed in "Barn Mates", where Peridot is excited to live with Lapis, but Lapis is not due to her involvement in her return to Earth and the previously mentioned interrogation. After Lapis says them living together will not work and flies off, Peridot wants to prove to her that she has changed. Peridot makes a card for her, makes a pool for her, and even gives her most valuable belonging to her (the tape recorder). All of her attempts to make amends failed and Lapis crushes the tape recorder. Frustrated and hurt, Peridot finally tries to talk to her, telling her that she understands how she feels and that she is not alone and wants to make it up to Lapis. Peridot is later chased by a Roaming Eye and is given a chance by Lapis, who, after having a talk with Steven, asks if she is okay, which makes Peridot happy to know that she cares, which, in return, makes Lapis blush. In "Hit the Diamond", Lapis nonchalantly agrees to play baseball against the Rubies to get them to leave, proving that she cares about Peridot's safety. Since then, Lapis has arguably become Peridot's closest friend.

In "Beta", the two appear to be closer. They seem to have the same interests, like Camp Pining Hearts and making modern art (or "meep morp", as they call it). Peridot seems to be considerate of Lapis' feelings, as she tries not to mention Jasper or anything related to her when around Lapis. In "Back to the Moon" when Amethyst asks if they want to "play prisoner", she clings to Lapis' arm and shoots Amethyst a look as Lapis refuses. In "Gem Harvest", the two appear to be completely comfortable with each other. They even laugh at each other's jokes when nobody else gets them. However, during "The New Crystal Gems", the two are shown to be able to get into arguments easily, due to their immature sides. But once their immaturity is pointed out, Peridot and Lapis are easily able to reconcile and forgive each other due to their close bond. During the events of "Room for Ruby", Peridot and Lapis work with Steven to teach "Navy" about Earth.

"Raising the Barn" reveals that Peridot had been moderating her speech when around Lapis in order to avoid upsetting her. Lapis was upset when she learned this, presumably having believed that Peridot was always honest with her. Lapis wanted and expected Peridot to flee Earth with her, but when Peridot makes clear that she will stay and fight with the Crystal Gems, Lapis leaves without her. Peridot falls into a depression over this, but Steven and Amethyst convince her in "Back to the Kindergarten" that there are things worth doing with her life even if she can't make Lapis come back. In "Can't Go Back" Lapis expresses specific concern over what Peridot would think of her if she came back, showing she still cares for her despite their last interaction. In "Reunited" Peridot is greatly surprised to see Lapis return and runs to her, asking if she's really back in disbelief. The two are on good terms as seen in "Change Your Mind" and Steven Universe: The Movie, hanging out together alongside Bismuth and building Little Homeworld.

Amethyst “ Per, I'mma be really real with you for a sec. This whole time we've been here, you've just been focusing on what you can't do. Of course you're not having any fun. You think that all you are is who you could be, but we don't hang out with you because of who you could be. We like you.

” —Amethyst, "Too Short to Ride"

While originally carrying the same amount of contempt towards her and the other Crystal Gems, it is revealed in "Too Far" that she sees Amethyst as being hierarchically above the other Crystal Gems as a Quartz, being the only "real" Gem. Peridot initially derives a sense of positive reinforcement from Amethyst's being entertained by her many commentaries on Earth and the other Gems but goes too far when she unwittingly offends Amethyst by bluntly pointing out that she is technically a "defective" Gem. Peridot is shown to care about her, as she was really concerned when a run-away drill was about to hit Amethyst, pushing her out of the way. After she saves Amethyst from the malfunctioning drill and apologizes to her (through a tape-recorder), the two seem to be in better standing. In "It Could've Been Great" while referencing a small kindergarten, she remarks that it is "not nearly as impressive" as the kindergarten Amethyst came from, meaning it as a compliment to her. In "Log Date 7 15 2" she says that she finds Amethyst's company entertaining. In "Barn Mates", Peridot is implied to have taken some of her vocabularies from spending time with Amethyst; both gems say "Holy smokes!" in response to the Roaming Eye. Prior to Peridot learning Amethyst's way of speaking, Amethyst likes to give nicknames to Peridot more than anybody else, considering their close bond. It appears that Peridot has learned from these nicknames, and gave some in return during "Beta" (Ams, Big A, etc.).

In "Too Short to Ride", the two with Steven went to Funland. Nearing the end of their short trip to Funland, it seems that Amethyst really cares about Peridot enough to show a different side of her, because when Peridot laments about herself being an Era 2 Peridot that can not shapeshift, Amethyst stands up to do a "real talk" in an effort to tell Peridot they like her for who she is, showing a more serious side of her that is very rarely seen in the show. In "Beta", the two hung out some more. Peridot seemed to be really happy that Amethyst was visiting, as she held out her arms and yelled "Amethyst!". During the episode, Peridot kept trying to impress Amethyst with 'meep morps'. Despite Jasper being a Quartz, she is shown to prefer Amethyst over her. This is shown when Steven tells her that Amethyst has been comparing herself with Jasper, she gave a confused look. Peridot later tells her she "is way better than Jasper". Near the end of the episode, Peridot comforts her when she gets upset about Jasper. During "Kindergarten Kid", Amethyst congratulates Peridot when she bubbles the Corrupted Gem. Peridot is left depressed following Lapis' departure in "Raising the Barn", and Amethyst is visibly frustrated with this. She decides to take Peridot to the Kindergarten to try to cheer her up, and they decide to raise a garden there. It ultimately fails, upsetting Peridot and causing her to lose hope, but Amethyst and Steven show her that although the Kindergarten is beyond saving, the rest of the world isn't. They are shown casually interacting and working together throughout the episode.

In "Change Your Mind", Peridot is shown gleefully running up to and climbing on top of Amethyst after finding out about the latter's reformation. This shows that the two still appear to be good friends.

Pearl “ I have to admit, it's... remarkable that a Pearl such as yourself could become such a... knowledgeable technician.

” —Peridot, "Back to the Barn"

Peridot initially held a large amount of disdain towards Pearl, being that Pearls are servants on Homeworld and Peridots are considered higher ranking. Since reforming and willingly living with the Crystal Gems, Peridot has been particularly dismissive of Pearl. The reason for this is because, on Homeworld, Pearls are seen as commodities rather than individuals. Peridot was seen insulting Pearl constantly throughout "Back to the Barn". However, after she and Pearl fought with their robots, Peridot came to realize that there is more to Pearl than she assumed.

By the end of the day, Peridot admitted that she was wrong about Pearl, and is willing to work together with her. It is later revealed in "Log Date 7 15 2" that she appreciates how hard Pearl is trying to make their friendship work. Peridot and Pearl are shown to be friends in later episodes and are willing to collaborate with each other on projects. In "Adventures in Light Distortion", Peridot says she should adjust the gravity engine in the Ruby spaceship before Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet, and Steven embark, but the Gems ignore her. Once they figure out why the Gems' forms are being changed by the uncalibrated gravity engine, Pearl denies Peridot saying anything about it and exclaims "this is why we don't listen to her." Pearl's behavior during the episode implies that while she doesn't particularly like her, she still trusts Peridot enough to check out the ship for them. In "The New Crystal Gems", Peridot talked about Pearl disdainfully and had Pumpkin fill the role of Pearl. When compared with Pearl, Peridot immediately denied any similarities with her, stating that Pearl is too sentimental. Currently, she has soften significantly toward Pearl and considers her a friend.

Garnet “ I have attempted a fusion with the fusion Garnet. I had hoped to gain a better understanding of fusion. Instead, I got a better understanding of Garnet.

” —Peridot and Steven, "Log Date 7 15 2"

Peridot initially held a large amount of hostility towards Garnet, calling her a "filthy war machine" in "Catch and Release", due to hetero-Gem fusions being taboo on Homeworld. In "Too Far", Peridot expressed that she felt "uncomfortable" with Garnet being fused all of the time, referring to her as a "Perma-fusion" because of it. In "It Could've Been Great", Garnet pats Peridot on the back which startles her. When Peridot angers the others by insulting Rose Quartz, Garnet physically threatens her. Peridot also has stated that she does not understand why Garnet remains fused despite not being in a fight. In an attempt to understand Garnet, in "Log Date 7 15 2" Peridot tries to fuse with her but fails after backing out of the fusion dance due to not being ready. However, after Garnet called herself the pairing of Percy and Pierre from Camp Pining Hearts to describe herself, Peridot is more aware of the reason Garnet is a fusion all of the time.

After the experience, Peridot has had much more respect for Garnet. Garnet's relationship with Peridot improved after Peridot joined the Crystal Gems; Garnet calms her down after she throws away her tape recorder, and Garnet gets Steven to return it to Peridot. In "Hit the Diamond" she reassures Peridot, telling her that she and the other Crystal Gems are sworn to protect any and all who call Earth home, which includes "clods like [her]". During "Kindergarten Kid", Garnet is impressed that Peridot was able to capture the Corrupted Gem, and informs her on what to do after bubbling the Gem. In "The New Crystal Gems", Peridot is shown to admire Garnet's role as the leader of the Crystal Gems

In "The New Crystal Gems", Peridot meets Connie for the first time. The two get along well as the Crystal Temps despite quirks like Connie's leadership falling more flat compared to Steven which Peridot criticizes. Connie and Peridot demonstrated good chemistry in their roles during the battle against the Diamond Mech in "Change Your Mind".

Bismuth “ Bismuth: I like you Peridot, you don’t quit!

” —Bismuth, "Reunited" In "Reunited", Bismuth takes a liking to Peridot's bold attitude towards fighting the Diamonds. Peridot seems to like Bismuth as well as she is seen happily talking about the fight with Blue Diamond with her and Amethyst. In "Legs From Here to Home

world", Bismuth declines to join Steven and the others on their trip to Homeworld, explaining her mistrust of the Diamonds and adding that she needs to keep an eye on the yet-to-reform Peridot and Lapis.

Later on, during the construction of Little Homeworld and Spinel's invasion, Peridot and Bismuth are still shown to be on good terms.

Peridot seems to recognize Greg as a friend because he is Steven's father. In "Log Date 7 15 2", she expressed curiosity when meeting Greg, unsure of his abilities as organic life, and pushed him off of the barn's roof. He held no grudge against Peridot and the two seem to be on better terms since. In "Gem Harvest", Peridot, along with Lapis, recognize that their home is in jeopardy and allow Greg to stand up for them to Andy DeMayo. In the same episode, Peridot mentions that it is nice to have everyone together. In "The New Crystal Gems", Peridot, Lapis, Connie, and Pumpkin run the car wash for Greg while he and Steven are in space, showing that she has gained some respect for him and his livelihood. After destroying the old car wash sign, she and the others design and build a new one with Greg's likeness, to which he replies he loves it. In "Reunited", she is shown having a conversation with Andy and Greg about her metal powers before the Diamonds arrived.

“ Peridot: I won't do it! I can tell you with certainty there are things on this planet worth protecting! Yellow Diamond: What do you know about the Earth!? Peridot: Apparently more than you, YOU CLOD!

” —Peridot and Yellow Diamond, "Message Received" Yellow Diamond extremely angry at Peridot. Yellow Diamond extremely angry at Peridot.

Yellow Diamond was Peridot's former superior and leader. In "The Return", when Jasper mentioned the name Yellow Diamond, not only Lapis winced, but Peridot showed fear as well. In "Cry for Help", via the communication hub tower, Peridot sends a distress message to Yellow Diamond pleading for her help. In "Catch and Release" Peridot states that she has not received a response from Yellow Diamond since her distress message in "Cry for Help". Despite this, Peridot seems almost to worship her, for example when she called her "magnificent" in the episode "It Could've Been Great". This may also be the case for the other Diamonds as well, as she called them "flawless beings" in "Message Received", but praises Yellow Diamond the most as she called her "the most perfect, the most reasonable, rational, efficient decider ever to exist in the universe."

Peridot finally manages to contact Yellow Diamond in "Message Received"; she used a Diamond Communicator, which she kept hidden from the Crystal Gems, truly believing that she could convince Yellow Diamond to value and protect Earth. As she begs her to deactivate the Cluster to save the Earth, Peridot sees Yellow Diamond as the exact opposite of all she made her out to be, as Yellow Diamond insists on destroying Earth for her own sake and personal reasons while rejecting Peridot's own for sparing Earth and its ecosystem. She refuses to follow Yellow Diamond's orders and insults her for failing to see Earth's potential, making her a traitor to Homeworld and Yellow Diamond. Peridot is left shaken and exhausted by the stress of defying her; after Peridot hands her Communicator to the Crystal Gems, she curls up into a ball and is unable to help the others when they get rid of the Communicator.

In "Log Date 7 15 2", it is clear that Peridot's betrayal of Yellow Diamond continues to impact her, causing her to break down emotionally to the point where she openly states that she feels she has finally gone mad. Peridot believes that Yellow Diamond has made her "public enemy number one", so she and the Crystal Gems assume that the Rubies in "Hit the Diamond" are after her. In "Reunited", when Yellow Diamond arrives on Earth along with Blue, Peridot seems to have gained her confidence against her, as she eagerly goes up to Yellow Diamond, expecting to relive the moment from "Message Received" when she directly insulted Yellow to her face, asking if she remembers her. However, Yellow simply responds "no" and electrocutes her until she poofs. In "Change Your Mind" they seem on good terms as both of them and the rest of the gems try to convince White Diamond to change her ways.

Not much is known about their relationship as she rarely mentions her, but she seems to have a sort of respect for her as seen in "It Could've Been Great", although she may not have the same level of admiration for her as with Yellow Diamond, due to not being a member of her court. As of "Message Received", however, after realizing Yellow Diamond was nothing like the figure she idolized, she no longer admires any member of the Diamond Authority. In "Reunited", Peridot displays arrogance when fighting Blue, despite not doing any notable damage. She yells for Blue Diamond to fight her and is eventually hurled as a projectile at the Diamond. Much like Yellow Diamond, Peridot expresses no fear when facing Blue Diamond. In "Change Your Mind" Peridot and the rest of The Crystal Gems help Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond to convince White Diamond to change her ways.

Jasper acts as Peridot's escort during her mission to Earth. Once on Earth, however, Jasper realizes Steven possesses Rose's gemstone and immediately prioritizes returning to Homeworld over Peridot's mission which she dismisses as trivial, leaving Peridot feeling disgruntled. Peridot was comfortable questioning Jasper's decision, which later contrasts with her nervousness when she argues with Yellow Diamond. In "Cry for Help", it is overtly stated that Jasper is her escort.

Peridot states in "Super Watermelon Island" that being on the same ship as Jasper made her tired. The Rubies in "Hit the Diamond" state that Jasper is the leader of the mission, so she had authority over Peridot and Lapis. In "Beta", while trying to cheer up Amethyst, Peridot implied she was superior to Jasper due to having been created in the Prime Kindergarten, while Jasper was created in the Beta Kindergarten. However, her opinion changed when she examined Jasper's exit hole, which she claimed was the most perfect she had ever seen and stated that Jasper was "The Ultimate Quartz". In "Earthlings", Peridot finally meets Jasper for the first time since she betrayed the Gem Homeworld. Peridot announced to Jasper that she had joined the Crystal Gems and attempted to show off her newfound power, but it failed to work and Jasper simply ignored her, seeing her as little of a threat. Peridot also laughed at Jasper when she was getting beaten by Smoky Quartz. Jasper seemed to believe that Steven had taken advantage of Peridot's weakened state, despite her assertion that Earth was full of life and that it changed her. When the Corrupted Jasper tried to attack Amethyst and Steven, Peridot frantically used her powers to drive a metal bar into Jasper, poofing her.

Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. It tells the coming-of-age story of a young boy, Steven Universe (Zach Callison), who lives with the Crystal Gems—magical, mineral-based aliens named Garnet (Estelle), Amethyst (Michaela Dietz) and Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall)—in the fictional town of Beach City. Steven, who is half-Gem, has adventures with his friends and helps the Gems protect the world from their own kind. The pilot premiered in May 2013, and the series ran for five seasons, from November 2013 to January 2019. The television film Steven Universe: The Movie was released in September 2019, and an epilogue limited series, Steven Universe Future, ran from December 2019 to March 2020. Books, comics, video games and soundtracks based on the series have also been released.

The themes of the series include love, family and the importance of healthy relationships. Sugar based the lead character on her younger brother Steven, who was an artist for the series. She developed Steven Universe while being a writer and storyboard artist on the animated television series Adventure Time, which she left when her show was greenlit for full production. The series adopted a storyboard-driven approach, where storyboard artists drew scenes, wrote dialogue and shaped the narrative. The design of Beach City and the Crystal Gems reflected Sugar's personal inspirations, such as Delaware beaches and childhood experiences, while incorporating influences from anime, video games and art history. Animation was handled by the South Korean studios Sunmin Image Pictures and Rough Draft Korea, while the music of composers Aivi & Surasshu became an integral part of the show's identity.

The series received critical acclaim for its storytelling, character development and visual design. Critics praised its exploration of complex themes such as identity, relationships and mental health, as well as its prominent LGBTQ representation, which included the character Garnet, a fusion embodying a same-sex relationship, whose component characters made history in the first same-sex wedding in children's animation. The voice acting and music were also lauded, with songs like "Stronger Than You" becoming popular and resonating with its audience. Steven Universe earned numerous accolades, including a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Kids & Family Program, becoming the first animated series to win the award, and a Peabody Award for Children's & Youth Programming, both respectively in 2019. It has consistently appeared on "best-of" lists for animation, including being ranked number 99 on BBC's 100 Greatest Television Series of the 21st Century list. Additionally, its influence inspired other creators and fostered a broad fanbase.

Steven Universe is set in the fictional town of Beach City, where the Crystal Gems live in an ancient temple and protect humanity from monsters and other threats. The Gems are ageless, genderless alien warriors who project female humanoid forms from magical gemstones at the core of their being. The Crystal Gems include Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Steven—a young, half-human, half-Gem boy who inherited his gemstone from his mother, the Crystal Gems' former leader Rose Quartz. As Steven tries to understand his gradually expanding range of powers, he spends his days accompanying the Gems on their missions, as well as interacting with his father Greg, his best friend Connie, his magical pet lion named Lion, and the other residents of Beach City. He explores the abilities inherited from his mother, which include fusion—the ability of Gems to merge their bodies and abilities to form new, more powerful personalities.

As Steven explores his Gem heritage, he gradually learns that the Crystal Gems are fugitives from a vast interstellar empire ruled by the Gem Homeworld. During their missions, they visit ruins that were once important to Gem culture but have been derelict for millennia, and Steven learns that many of the monsters and artifacts they encounter are Gems who were corrupted by a Gem weapon of mass destruction and can no longer maintain rational, humanoid form. The Gem empire originally intended to sterilize the planet Earth to incubate new Gems, but Rose Quartz led her supporters, the Crystal Gems, in a violent and apparently successful rebellion against this genocidal plan. Midway through the first season of the series, the release of Lapis Lazuli, a Gem trapped on Earth for millennia, puts the Crystal Gems at risk from the Gem empire once more, leading to the arrival of hostile envoys Peridot and Jasper.

Peridot joins forces with the Crystal Gems in the second season to neutralize a buried Gem "geo-weapon" that could destroy the planet. In the third season, Lapis decides to reside on Earth with Peridot, Jasper is defeated and captured, and Steven learns that his mother assassinated Pink Diamond, one of the Gem homeworld's leaders. As he wrestles with his conflicted feelings following this revelation, Pink's counterparts Blue and Yellow Diamond begin to turn their attention back to Earth; the fourth season ends with Steven taken to the Gem homeworld to stand trial for his mother's crimes. After escaping, he discovers in the fifth season that his mother actually was Pink Diamond, who faked her death to assume the identity of Rose Quartz full-time. Steven uses this revelation to persuade the other Diamonds to take responsibility for and fix the damage they have caused.

During the early stages of production, Rebecca Sugar worked on character appearances and personality development simultaneously;[28] during this process of conception, she was heavily inspired by fantasy television characters she and her brother used to draw when they were younger.[22] Lead character designer Danny Hynes, influenced by the design of Mickey Mouse by Disney artists, wanted the characters to be standardized, simple and recognizable.[29] He proposed 24 human characters to the crew; Rebecca and Steven Sugar drew 22 designs—13 of which were made official. The coloring was done by Jones-Quartey.[30] Rebecca Sugar merged several characters during the pilot's development;[22] supporting characters Lars and Sadie were originally created when she was in college.[31] The family that runs Beach City's pizza shop was based on Jones-Quartey's Ghanaian family,[15] and the character Ronaldo was created by Ben Levin and Matt Burnett.[32] Guy Davis, a childhood friend of the Sugars, designed the early monsters and Gem architecture.[15]

According to Jones-Quartey, making a character "look alive" was always a priority in their design, and a character's emotions should be clearly delineated. The character design team's mission was for the characters to resemble those of older animation, such as 1940s Disney cartoons, Dragon Ball Z or the works of Osamu Tezuka and Harvey Kurtzman. In drawing the characters for each episode, the crew had two weeks to make modifications. Character names and some designs were inspired by types of food, and some characters were redesigned because the pilot revealed discrepancies between appearances and personalities. Sugar planned for the characters' designs to receive visual benchmarks so the show's artists could draw them consistently. Sugar aimed to make the designs for her characters simple, flexible and consistent so the production team members would not become bogged down by overly complex details. This redesigning meant the appearances of the characters in the pilot episode differ substantially from their depiction in the television series.

Sugar wanted the Crystal Gems to resemble humans; she developed them to navigate the complexities of family life with Steven, whom they would treat like a brother. She wanted their gems to reflect their personalities; Pearl's perfect smoothness, Amethyst's coarseness and Garnet's air of mystery. According to Sugar, the Gems were made as "non-binary women" in order to express herself as a non-binary woman through them. Their facial designs were influenced by Wassily Kandinsky, who taught at the Bauhaus and encouraged his students to pair three primary colors—red, yellow and blue—with the three basic shapes—square, triangle and circle. Because of the characters' personalities, Garnet is square, Amethyst is a sphere and Pearl is a cone. Sugar wanted to give the Gems a surrealistic power similar to those of classic cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny. The Gems' ability to shape-shift is a reference to older cartoons such as Tex Avery's work for MGM, where characters would change size and shape at will. Although the Gems are intended to be serious characters, the writers wanted them to be "funny and weird" as well.

Themes Sugar wanted Steven Universe to be thematically consistent with her and her brother's shared interests. As a coming-of-age series, the theme of family within the show is important since Sugar based the titular character on her brother. Additionally, the theme of love was inspired by her relationship with Jones-Quartey. The series also expresses the importance of acceptance, and explores relationships, LGBTQ identity, diversity in body shapes and sizes, and "hues of skin in a colorful sci-fi magic display of diversity", as quoted by Sugar. Supervising director Kat Morris stated that the series' central concepts were developed over time in an organic way, rather than being "overly calculated" from the start. Burnett said the series' simple-life theme prevented the inclusion of "cynicism" or "snarkiness", and expressed the writers had no interest in a superhero theme.

The unusually strong female presence in a series with a male lead—all major characters except Steven and Greg are female—was intentional according to Sugar. She aimed to challenge and explore the portrayal of gender in children's cartoons, calling it "absurd" that television shows for boys should be fundamentally different from those for girls. She developed the series' plot towards a distant goal, with everything in between kept flexible, partly because her intentions had "changed since I've started because I've grown up a lot" while working on the show. Sugar described the series as "reverse escapism": the idea that fantasy characters would become interested in real life and would want to participate in it. Steven personifies the "love affair between fantasy and reality". Sugar said Steven Universe was influenced by The Simpsons and anime series Future Boy Conan and Revolutionary Girl Utena.

Lapis Lazuli is a member of the Crystal Gems, who made her debut in "Mirror Gem".

During her alignment with the Gem Homeworld, she was caught in the crossfire of The Rebellion and got poofed by Bismuth. Homeworld mistook her for one of the Crystal Gems and imprisoned her within a magical mirror with the intention of interrogating her about her supposed comrade's whereabouts. After being abandoned by the Homeworld Gems fleeing the Corrupting Light, Lapis would remain in the mirror for thousands of years until she eventually convinced Steven to free her. Once Lapis returned to Homeworld, she was forced back to Earth by Peridot and Jasper, the latter of whom she fused with into Malachite in order to protect Steven.

Following Malachite's defeat in "Super Watermelon Island", Lapis realized she had no choice but to live on Earth after betraying Jasper and thus Homeworld. Lapis decided to live at The Barn with Peridot. At one point, Lapis admits to Steven she enjoyed being Malachite, as it allowed her to take her anger out on someone. However, when Jasper returns soon afterwards, Lapis refuses her offer to become Malachite once again and chooses Steven and healing herself over giving into anger.

Lapis formed a strong bond with Peridot during their time living together, until the threat of another war between Earth and Homeworld scared Lapis into fleeing to the Moon, taking the barn with her, but leaving Peridot behind. Eventually, Lapis returned in "Reunited" and assisted the Crystal Gems in the fight against Blue Diamond, becoming a member of the team in the process.

Years later, she now lives with Bismuth and Peridot in Little Homeworld. Despite her large amount of progress made in bettering herself, Lapis still doubts if she's made any progress at all, evident by her angry outburst at two other Lapis Lazulis, who mocked her relentlessly for trying to show them a new peaceful way of life. However, Lapis' faith is renewed when Steven reminds her of her growth, allowing Lapis to come to terms with her outburst and her efforts are rewarded when one of the Lapis Lazulis officially joins Little Homeschool.

Nickname(s) Lapis Lazuli (Peridot) Li'l Lappy (indirectly) Alias Bob ("Hit the Diamond") Characteristics Species Gem Weapon(s) Hydrokinesis (non-summoned) Sex Sexless Gender Pronoun She/Her Age Around 6,000 years[1] Traits Hair Brilliant cobalt blue Eyes Moderate phthalo blue Gemstone Lapis lazuli Gem Type Lapis Lazuli Professional Status Affiliation(s) Gem Homeworld (formerly) Blue Diamond (former superior) Crystal Gems Crystal Temps Occupation(s) Terraformer (formerly) Informant (formerly) Guardian Teacher Alignment Crystal Gems Personal Status Status Active Friend(s) Crystal Gems Greg Universe Pumpkin (pet) "Nice" Lapis Peridot (roommate) Bismuth Media First Appearance "Mirror Gem" Music Theme "Mirror Gem" Voice Actor Jennifer Paz

Appearance Lapis has a slim figure and is considerably tall, being almost the same height as Pearl. She has brilliant cerulean skin, cobalt blue chin-length hair with long bangs and voluminous fringe that covers her entire forehead, which occasionally looks messier and rounded, and royal blue eyes. Her gemstone is embedded in her back, which takes the form of a water droplet.

Pre-regeneration (debut) Lapis wore a backless blue halter crop top with an upward-facing navy triangle, which ties into a blue sash ribbon on the back of her shoulders. She also wore a flowing cobalt blue skirt, which is calf-length with a downward-facing navy triangle around the waist, and was barefoot. The two triangles on her uniform symbolize Blue Diamond as her superior.

Before Steven healed her cracked gemstone, Lapis had reflective eyes without pupils and appears with a blue navy tone.

Post-regeneration (current) After regenerating shortly before the event of "Change Your Mind", Lapis wears a backless, halter crop top that is cobalt blue on top and navy on the bottom resembling half a star, symbolizing her now Crystal Gem alignment. She also wears dark-blue parachute pants, which represent the second half of the star tied up by a bronze-gold ribbon, and matching Roman sandals.

It can be noted that Lapis' hair and skin colors are slightly different shades. Her hair is longer and messier in the back and fringe, while the bangs on the sides of her face are a little shorter. Her summoned wings have a darker shade of blue now, but it isn't confirmed if it is intentional or a mistake.

Personality According to herself, before incarceration she was like most of her former Homeworld peers in that she had no qualms over terraforming planets and was openly dismissive of and callous towards non-Gem life before meeting Steven; before having her gemstone healed she stated she "never believed in" Earth as a planet. However, the suffering of being trapped for over nearly 6,000 years has changed her deeply. It was a recurring theme for her to be used by others and these experiences have cemented in her a general mistrust of others. Furious and unable to easily let things go, she initially harbored hatred and mistrust for the Crystal Gems since they knew she was in the mirror but never helped. She had a strong dislike towards Peridot because she had dragged her back to Earth, being unforgiving and grumpy when she didn't accept her apologies and rudely destroying her gifts. In "Room for Ruby" it is shown Lapis doesn't trust strangers when she meets them, being skeptical of "Navy"'s appreciative behavior when she lived in the barn due to her being unappreciative and worried when she first arrived. ​​​​​​On the other hand, Lapis opened up to Steven for showing kindness towards her, being the one to free her and healing her cracked gem. After talking with him she eventually warms up and defends Peridot and Steven from the Rubies showing that she is starting to forgive and be friendlier with others. In "The New Crystal Gems" it is shown that Lapis is neutral and somewhat indifferent, barely recognizing Connie until she came to respect her in how she could deal with Steven's life.

In "Alone at Sea" Lapis reveals a cynicism about herself which borders on self-hatred, harboring a deep regret for her actions as Malachite and in "Ocean Gem". She briefly doubts whether she is different from Jasper but gathers the resolve to avoid reigniting their abusive relationship with Steven's encouragement. Having been captured several times, Lapis was constantly grappling for control as Malachite not only for Steven but for her reasons. Still, though, she shows a profound fear of responsibility, immediately rebuffing Greg's offer for her to be captain of the boat before Steven reassures her by insisting that they all be first mates and share responsibility. Furthermore, Lapis felt insecure about taking a long time to understand how things work on Earth while "Navy" was able to do it on the first try, being glad to find out that "Navy" was still loyal to Homeworld and everything she did was a charade to get back the Roaming Eye.

When confronted with an enemy stronger than herself, Lapis usually displays a defeatist and pessimistic approach, believing that putting up a struggle can only make the situation worse. She delivers a frantic message to Steven about the approaching invasion and begged him to submit to Homeworld should they cross paths in "The Message", giving similar advice when Steven stumbled across her in "Jail Break" by mentioning that Homeworld might go easy on them if they follow orders. In "Raising the Barn", she packs up the Barn and flees Earth to avoid another war at the hands of the Diamonds, still not being comfortable enough defending the planet from a Homeworld attack. She wanted Steven and Peridot to flee Earth with her, but she decided to leave on her own and took the Barn (her comfort zone) when they refused. However, in "Reunited" Lapis makes a surprisingly brave appearance and officially proclaims herself to be a Crystal Gem, joining the fight against Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond showing she would rather be with her new friends than alone anymore.​​​​​​

Some of Lapis' notable characteristics are her strong willpower and lack of hesitation towards those who stand against her: Even with a cracked gemstone, she managed to control the Earth's entire ocean through sheer determination to return to Homeworld which she considers "home" though she can be rather inconsiderate and indifferent in her ways as this act could damage the human race or the planet. Once her gemstone was healed she flew a vast distance through space to eventually reach Homeworld. Her strength of mind is so great that she suppressed the equally resolved Jasper for months on end. Detrimentally though she can be stubborn and hesitant in cooperation or accepting any kind of help from others unless she has no other choice, refusing to be set free by Steven in "Jail Break" or doesn't want to tell the Crystal Gems her location for them to find her and aid in the situation in "Chille Tid". However, most of these situations stem from returning a favor to help Steven without involving him in more dangerous situations or simply mistrust towards others from previous encounters.

Having gone through several traumatizing events, Lapis gradually showed a more dour and deadpan side to her, especially after facing Peridot again. She is upset when she discovers that Peridot has been keeping information that she had deemed too substantial, suggesting that she considers herself emotionally stable enough to overcome most of her past traumas. She was able to resist Blue Diamond's pathokinesis thanks to how much trauma she has been through, barely shedding a tear upon being hit by the aura. However, Lapis ranges from being deadpan to emotional throughout the show as seen in "Alone in the Sea" where she appears to be more lively and cheerful out of curiosity towards Earth but seems less enthusiastic in "Beta" possibly due to her encounter with Jasper as implied by Peridot's reluctance to mention her name around her.

After overcoming the majority of her traumas Lapis' true personality seems to be extremely laid back, almost blasé and even somewhat lazy. She seems to be barely fazed towards events like the Rubies' return and Andy DeMayo yelling at her, being typically seen sitting or lounging around while watching Camp Pining Hearts or reading. Similar to Amethyst she has a habit of sleeping despite not having to, resting on an amp like a pillow while everyone is gathered on the beach at the end of "Change Your Mind" with Peridot noting that she snores. "Beta" shows that Lapis has acclimated to living in the barn. Although she is still dour to an extent, she has helped renovate the barn and become comfortable living with Peridot, creating pieces of art they call "meep-morps" and helping to do a farm through her hydrokinesis.

In The Steven Universe Podcast, Rebecca Sugar described Lapis as a vulnerable character who is taken advantage of constantly but interested in opening up to people who offer her kindness, like Steven. In the same podcast, she says that Lapis is constantly grappling for some kind of control, but once she has it she is scared that she will do something bad with it. It was when she was Malachite that she exercised control to take out her hate on Jasper, and then when they separated, she started to harbor regrets for that desire. She is unable to find direction because she can't see a big part of herself even when it is exposed to everyone else. During her time with Peridot, Lapis was still living in fear as she doesn't see the difference between leaving Earth and hiding like a refugee on the planet. She has more fear because she has experienced the horror Homeworld can dish out, unlike Peridot who hasn't had such conflict that she lost to.[2] Being a realist, Lapis acknowledges that Homeworld is targeting Earth so her first instinct is to flee the planet to not be caught in the conflict or have any interaction with the Diamonds again. Peridot and Steven support the idea of fighting back, but she tries to solve problems for herself instead due to having trouble asking and using this assistance, leading to her fleeing the planet with the barn.

The decision to face her fears and choosing to face the Diamonds with her friends instead of fleeing signals a change in Lapis; this is indicated after reforming and joining the Crystal Gems with her being much more relaxed and braver than she used to be. This is especially true during the events of Steven Universe: The Movie as while living in a time of peace she is shown to be downright chipper and exuberant while assisting Bismuth and Peridot in the construction of Little Homeworld. "Why So Blue?" shows her happy, confident, and joyful while visiting another planet with Steven though she is aggressive and abrasive when dealing with other Lapis Lazulis willing to put them through "a little torture" to get them to stop. She also shows regret for the destruction she wrought when still terraforming worlds and the other Lapis Lazulis made her angry by reminding her of this.

Abilities Lapis Lazuli possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability. She is exceptionally powerful, especially when she is near the ocean. She could create duplicates of the Crystal Gems to fight them off while her gem was cracked, as well as became the dominant personality when she fused with Jasper and imprisoned them both and stabilize her fusion-form, despite the Gems' lack of synchronization, to whereas any forms of mismatch would usually cancel the fusion. Despite this, Jasper was able to push Lapis around effectively though this could have been purely psychological, due to her insecurity and lack of hope in herself during her imprisonment aboard Peridot's ship. This was seen again when Jasper caught and restrained her as she attempted to fly away, though this also may be partly due to her injuries from the ship's destruction. "Why So Blue?" shows she is extremely powerful even for a Lapis Lazuli as she overwhelms two other Lapis Lazuli at the same time. In "I Am My Monster" she is shown to be able to restrain and even knock back a monster-transformed Steven, who easily resisted the Diamonds' powers.

Fusions When fused with Jasper, they form Malachite.

Natural Abilities Enhanced Strength: Lapis lifting a large rock. Lapis lifting a large rock.

Lapis, like all gems, has superhuman strength, enabling her to lift fragments of Peridot's warship while injured and to crush her recorder without effort. Lapis is also stronger than two of the other Lapis gems seen in the show despite not being a gem made for combat. In "The New Crystal Gems", she carries a large metal sign alongside Peridot. Enhanced Durability: Lapis appears to be rather durable, surviving the crash of Peridot's spaceship without needing to retreat into her gemstone to heal. She also endured being hit by White Diamond's ship which sent her flying into a wall, but unconscious. Shapeshifting: Like all Era 1 Gems, Lapis is able to shapeshift. In Hit the Diamond, she shapeshifts human clothes. Unique Abilities Lapis using her hydrokinesis. Lapis using her hydrokinesis.

Hydrokinesis: Lapis Lazuli has immense power over water and liquid material. She also can control liquids that are only partially composed of water, such as orange juice. She used the Earth's entire ocean to her advantage, even weighing opponents down. Lapis can form water into various constructs that she can control, including hands to smite enemies or use as a platform, chains to entangle or trap enemies with, divide the sea to make a path, and form a section of the Atlantic Ocean[2] into a space elevator. Her power is enough to stun Blue Diamond for a short period and restrain Steven while he was transformed into a giant gem monster. Water Generation: In addition to manipulating existing liquid, Lapis can generate a certain amount of water from her gem. It is unknown whether the water is somehow stored within her gemstone, or if she simply condensed the water molecules in the air into a liquid form. Water Form Manipulation: Lapis can change the state of matter of water, causing it to turn into ice. This is first shown when she creates an ice wall when fused as Malachite to protect herself from the arrows fired by Alexandrite in the episode "Super Watermelon Island". She can also manipulate the density of the ice formed, as the water weapons created by the clones were strong enough to contend with the actual weapons of the Crystal Gems. Thermal Manipulation: In the episode "Ocean Gem", the water clones of the Crystal Gems she created had their weapons made out of condensed hot/boiling water (steam starts to form), meaning that she can change the temperature of water to do some more damage. Hydromimicry: Lapis can use her control over water to create flawless, powerful Water Clones of her enemies, akin to Pearl's Holo-Pearls, which possess the same fighting styles as the originals (water Garnet's strength, water Amethyst's constant shapeshifting, etc.) They also can regenerate when damaged and even split to create new clones, making them effectively invincible against most attacks. The only thing that has been shown damaging them was a sound wave from Steven's shield. Water Bubbles: Lapis can form water bubbles that can contain objects. These bubbles are similar to standard Gem Bubbles but instead, hold liquid. She uses them in the episode to contain the rubies in the episode "Earthlings". Water-Walking: In "Ocean Gem", it is shown that Lapis can walk and run on the surface of the water using her Hydrokinesis, she also managed to let Steven walk in the water for a while. Lapis projecting her memories. Lapis projecting her memories.

Water Wings: Lapis can summon and remove water wings-like constructs, which can propel her at high velocities as an evasive maneuver or as a method of transportation. Her wings have allowed her to fly between planets and reach Homeworld from Earth in less than a year. Unlike her other abilities, Lapis cannot summon her wings with a cracked gem.Lapis producing water wings from her gemstone. Lapis producing water wings from her gemstone.

Water Fists: In "Change Your Mind", Lapis was shown altering the shape of her water wings (i.e. into fists). Memory Projection: Lapis can project any of her memories onto a mirror-like surface, an ability she was still able to use while trapped in the mirror. While she uses this ability, her eyes lose their pupils and become silvery and reflective, similar to how they looked when her gemstone was cracked. Pathokinesis Resistance: Due to the variety of traumatic and stressful experiences she has been through, Lapis is shown to be left virtually unaffected by Blue Diamond's incapacitating emotional waves, claiming "I've felt worse." Also, she is mentally strong enough to overtake and subdue Jasper for a long time when they were fused.

Relationships Steven Universe “ ♪ It all became so lovely ♪ ♪ Those bluest skies above me ♪ ♪ Those funny feelings I had never felt before I met you ♪

” —Lapis, "Can't Go Back" Lapis Lazuli became friends with Steven in "Mirror Gem" when Pearl gave him Lapis' mirror, which was supposed to inform Steven of Gem history. Soon after, Lapis began to talk to Steven via the recordings of the mirror, and they became good friends. She wanted to get out of the mirror, and she told Steven how to help her out. After she was free, she warned Steven not to trust the Crystal Gems. However, in "Ocean Gem", her actions were driven by desperation and thirst for revenge for the years locked in the mirror. This caused her to act violently towards Steven and his acquaintances, nearly drowning him. Steven is greatly upset by her unwillingness to have a civil conversation about her predicament and summons his shield for the second time ever, something he only does in extreme emotion. This conflict is solved when the two can talk, and Steven gets to see Lapis' side of the story. After getting a clear understanding of Lapis' dilemma, he heals her gemstone with his saliva, therefore restoring her to her true form. She thanked Steven before she flew back to Homeworld.

Lapis talking with Steven. Lapis talking with Steven.

In "The Message", Lapis was shown to care for Steven enough to warn him of impending danger from Homeworld and, due to their advanced technology, advised him to not put up a fight, as they would not stand a chance against the Homeworld Gems. In "The Return", she tried to convince Jasper that Steven was just a human and had no connection with the Crystal Gems. When Jasper discovered that Steven has Rose Quartz's power, Lapis begged her not to hurt him, showing that she greatly cares for Steven's well-being. In the episode "Jail Break" Lapis chose to be imprisoned despite the attempts made by Steven to help her. Later, she fuses with Jasper into Malachite despite Steven trying to convince her but only to double-cross Jasper by putting Malachite at the bottom of the ocean. In "Chille Tid", she mentally connects to Steven via dreams. She rejects Steven's multiple offers for help before scaring him as Malachite. In that same episode, it is revealed one of the main reasons she fused with Jasper was to protect Steven from Jasper's reach, showing that Lapis is willing to endure more trauma to keep Steven out of harm's way.

Steven talks to his father about Lapis Steven talks to his father about Lapis

As soon as Malachite deformed and Lapis was safely moved to the barn, Steven showed considerable concern for her well-being, frequently checking on her while she recovered. Shortly after awakening and preparing to leave again, Lapis explains that she feels she does not belong on Earth. Steven, though feeling dejected, understands, and wishes Lapis good luck. A little while later Lapis returns to the barn, realizing that while she does not feel right on Earth, she cannot return to Homeworld after she fused with Jasper. Steven, discovering her in her depressed state, decides to show her that the Earth is not a bad place to live, showing Lapis the serene country, dazzling Empire City, and disillusioned Jersey. Ending at the Galaxy Warp, Lapis, re-experiencing the trauma of the last time she was there, decides to tell Steven about how she came to be trapped in the mirror. After releasing some tension Lapis returns Steven to the barn, deciding that though she can not go home, she is no longer trapped and chooses to live on Earth. In "Barn Mates", Lapis shows that she only really responds to Steven, mostly talking only to him directly or coming when he calls. It's also shown that despite her trust in Steven, she is not above criticizing him and his choices. In "Hit the Diamond", she participates in the baseball game because Steven asked her to despite saying the plan "sucks". "Alone at Sea" shows her laughing and happy as Steven leads her by the hand, and goes on the boat because he asks her to. She also blames herself for the trip being a disaster, wanting to enjoy it because Steven wanted her to.

In "Video Chat", it is shown that when Peridot had shown the current video chat screen to Lapis, she rushed to the computer, thinking he was trapped and tries to "free" him, meaning she deeply cares about him and will try her best to save him if he is trapped. Lapis is shown to still be grateful towards Steven for saving her, emphasising that she will save Steven like he saved her. In "Raising the Barn", Lapis offers Steven the chance to flee Earth with her and Peridot to remain safe from the Diamonds. Steven declines the offer but affirms that he won't try to talk her and Peridot out of it if they don't feel safe on Earth. In "Can't Go Back", after Ronaldo discovers the presence of the barn on the moon, Steven immediately goes to check it out. Lapis is surprised that he came and explains that she felt incredibly lonely once she left the galaxy. She also reveals she had been watching the others via an old Diamond observation device. Steven almost successfully talks Lapis into going back, explaining how things can and will be okay. Lapis is convinced to return until Steven has a dream about the Diamonds and immediately perceives it as a vision of future events and flees. In "Reunited", Lapis returns to Earth and hugs Steven, declaring herself a Crystal Gem.

"Why So Blue?" shows that the two work well together as a team with a deep understanding of each other.

"I Am My Monster" shows her concern for Steven as she seeks to restrain him in the ocean and flies in to hug him with everyone else, even apologizing to him for restraining him. "The Future" shows how sad she is when he is leaving, and overjoyed at the art set he gives her. She then joins Bismuth and Peridot and hugs him with streaming tears.

Greg Universe Lapis fishing with Greg and Steven. Lapis fishing with Greg and Steven.

While the two never met face-to-face until "Alone at Sea", Lapis left a deep impression on Greg. Being the first time he followed his son on a mission involving "magical Gem stuff", he was already apprehensive when they set out on their mission. When Lapis created water duplicates that attacked them - and wrecked his van - he became terrified of her. This is later reflected in "The Message", where he sings a short intro of a song he has written called "Water Witch". The song initially portrays Lapis in a negative light as a villain, until Steven objects, and explains that Lapis was not mean at all; she only wanted to go home. In "Alone at Sea", Greg is shown getting along with Lapis and even helps Steven surprise her with a trip on a boat he had rented. However, when introducing himself to her, he carelessly reminds Lapis about how she injured his leg during their first encounter, though he seems to have for the most part put the past behind him and seems willing to give her a second chance. He even teaches Lapis how to fish. He is also shown to be amazed by Lapis' power when she uses her power over water in an attempt to catch fish, though Greg suggests they fish the old-fashioned way.

Crystal Gems “ If they're gonna punish me like a Crystal Gem, I might as well be one, right? You got room for one more?

” —"Reunited" Lapis attacking the Crystal Gems. Lapis attacking the Crystal Gems.

Lapis was initially shown to have a deep-seated distrust of the Crystal Gems, going so far as to warn Steven not to trust them, saying they only cared about Earth and not their kind, referring to their part in the war, whereas she says, "I never believed in this place." As shown in "Same Old World", while the Crystal Gems didn't directly imprison Lapis inside the mirror, their rebellion led to her being "poofed" and turned into a tool by her fellow Homeworld Gems, who mistook her for a Crystal Gem: Given that the mirror in which she was imprisoned was known to the Crystal Gems (having most recently been stored in Pearl's gem), it wasn't clear how much about Lapis they knew. However, one of the sources of her anger was the likelihood that they truly didn't know about her, as she angrily shouted at them "You three knew I was in there. Did you even wonder who I used to be?"

Lapis high-fiving . Lapis high-fiving Ruby.

Although her animosity is towards the Crystal Gems as a group, Lapis shared negative feelings towards Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl specifically, as they didn't help her after they had found her. She does seem to be warming up to them, as evident in "Hit the Diamond", where she happily returns Ruby's offer of a high-five and participates in gossip with Pearl and Amethyst about Ruby and Sapphire flirting. In "Earthlings", Lapis was joined by Garnet and Pearl after the Rubies returned from space. Later in "Gem Harvest", Lapis is on good terms with the Crystal Gems helping them make dinner for Andy and sat down with them at dinner and joked with them. Lapis also agreed to stay on Earth with Peridot to protect Beach City when Garnet asked them to in "Adventures in Light Distortion".

Later, during the events of "The New Crystal Gems", Lapis seems to have no problem standing in as a Crystal Gem, acting like them or being associated with them, attempting to stand in for Amethyst by imitating her mannerisms and styling her bangs over her left eye, though she shows more interest towards Garnet. However, Lapis demonstrates that she isn't seriously committed to the Crystal Gems' mission of protecting Earth in "Raising the Barn", choosing instead to leave the planet in anticipation of a Homeworld attack. However, in "Reunited" she makes a surprise return to Earth, deciding to stand by and support her friends against their common enemies. She is warmly welcomed back by the Crystal Gems, officially joining their ranks and aiding them in their fight against the Diamonds. Steven Universe: The Movie shows how happy and content she is as a Crystal Gem while helping build Little Homeworld, and "Why So Blue?" shows she has fully adopted the Crystal Gems mission of protecting worlds when she works to stop two other Lapis Lazulis from terraforming a planet.

Peridot “ I might have overreacted about the Diamonds... I've done so much because I was afraid. I left Peridot behind. I took the Barn and her morps.

” —"Can't Go Back" Lapis surprised to see Peridot at the Barn. Lapis surprised to see Peridot at the Barn.

As revealed in "Cry for Help", Lapis was initially summoned to be Peridot's informant during her invasion of Earth and was held a prisoner in her spaceship. She seemed to be very scared of her and/or the advanced technology at her disposal, in "The Message". In "Same Old World", Lapis is surprised and upset to see Peridot and tells her that the barn is her home now, being angry with the latter for having interrogated her and using her. With the help of Steven, Peridot tries to make it up to her with gifts and cards in "Barn Mates", but Lapis still harbors resentment and doesn't accept them. Peridot admits that she identifies with Lapis' loneliness and asks her what she wants, which Lapis tells her to leave. Peridot does since she knows it is for the best, but Steven asks why Lapis will not give Peridot a chance as she is trying, to which Lapis skeptically asked him of his trust in Peridot until Steven explained Peridot has changed. A Homeworld tracking vessel then arrives chasing Peridot and soon is ready to shoot her, but Lapis then steps in front of the Peridot and uses her hydrokinesis to protect her. She later asks if Peridot is okay, showing she is slowly learning to forgive Peridot's actions and give her a chance. In "Hit the Diamond", Lapis nonchalantly agrees to play baseball against the Rubies to get them to leave, proving that she somewhat cares about Peridot's safety.

In "Beta", the two appear to be closer, sharing some interest like watching Camp Pining Hearts, making modern art (or "meep morp", as they call it), and making music to impress their visitors, Steven and Amethyst. In "Gem Harvest", Lapis enjoys farming with Peridot using her hydrokinesis.

During the feast, the latter is the only one who laughs at Lapis' jokes with her and even predicts when Lapis is willing to high-five her. Peridot seems to be considerate of Lapis' feelings, trying not to use the "J Word" (Jasper) around her and clings onto her when Amethyst (shapeshifted as Jasper) asks them if they wanted to be her prisoners when the rubies returned. Lapis is also more willing to respond to Peridot's calls, responding when Peridot tells her she is going out and asks whether she needs anything, and reaching out to try to catch Peridot's bow tie when she threw it, though it sailed over Lapis' head.

Lapis and Peridot eventually "adopt" Pumpkin, an ambulatory semi-intelligent pumpkin Steven creates that acts like a dog. In "Room for Ruby", they are shown at sunrise sitting on the tractor with Pumpkin nested in Peridot's arms, looking for shooting stars to wish on. Though she jokes about how Lapis' snoring, Peridot becomes more concerned and sympathetic of her feelings toward "Navy", who was able to adapt Earth's operations quickly, the opposite of Lapis' experience. Peridot rushes after Lapis after she runs into the barn, reassuring her that there was nothing wrong with thinking the way she has.

"Raising the Barn" reveals that Peridot had been moderating her speech when around Lapis to avoid upsetting her. Lapis was upset when she learned this, presumably having believed that Peridot was always honest with her. She wanted and expected Peridot to flee Earth with her, but left without her when Peridot makes clear that she will stay and fight with the Crystal Gems. In "Can't Go Back" when Steven attempts to persuade Lapis to return, she asks "what would Peridot say?", proving she values Peridot's opinion highly and is concerned about how Peridot views her. When Lapis finally returns to Earth in "Reunited", she seems nonchalant to see Peridot, unlike the latter, who eagerly runs up to talk to her. As of Steven Universe: The Movie, they seem to be on friendly terms again and work together with Bismuth.

Bismuth Lapis spending time with Bismuth. Lapis spending time with Bismuth.

Though the gem that poofed Lapis in the gem war was Bismuth, they do not recognize each other in the present day, as Lapis did not get a good look at the Gem who poofed her, and Bismuth had poofed other Lapis Lazulis than just Lapis during the rebellion. When they first formally meet in "Reunited", they barely interact at all. Bismuth pushes Steven and Lapis aside while they are hugging, but she doesn't seem to be offended by this as she likely knows the seriousness of the situation. When Lapis is later poofed by Yellow Diamond, Bismuth took care of her and Peridot while the other Crystal Gems are on Homeworld. When Lapis, Peridot, and Bismuth later show up on Homeworld in Yellow and Blue Diamonds arm ships in "Change Your Mind", their relationship seems to have evolved immensely, such as when Bismuth helps Lapis land safely on the ground after they come out of the ships. Later in the episode, Lapis is shown holding Bismuth while they attack the Diamond Mech. Steven Universe: The Movie shows they have formed their team with Peridot, and she is seen holding Bismuth's arm when the injector explodes.

Jasper “ What we had wasn't healthy. I never want to feel like I felt with you. Never again! So just go!

” —"Alone at Sea" Lapis being persuaded by Jasper. Lapis being persuaded by Jasper.

When Lapis returned to Homeworld, she was forced into helping to defeat/capture the Crystal Gems. Jasper was made her superior and didn't seem to care much for her, having no problems with imprisoning her after finding out Lapis withheld information from her. The former also called her "a brat" after she tried to escape from the destroyed Gem warship. However, Jasper coerces Lapis to fuse into Malachite to fight the Crystal Gems, but Lapis double-crossed Jasper by using her power to control the water and imprison both of them at the bottom of the ocean.

Lapis shows a lot of mistrust, hatred, and fear towards Jasper, mostly due to Jasper's aggression towards Steven and her ill-treatment of her, projecting all her anger and indignation on being a constant prisoner on her. She has no problem with being fused with her if it means the protection of Steven, sacrificing her freedom, taking Jasper underwater, and mentally tangling with her for even temporary control of their unstable fusion to keep him safe. Even after Jasper gains enough control over Malachite to break her chains, Lapis continues to struggle for control, causing Malachite to hesitate in her thoughts for a short time.

Jasper begging Lapis Lazuli to fuse for the second time. Jasper begging Lapis Lazuli to fuse for the second time.

Despite the nature of their fusion and the antagonistic relationship they had while fused, Lapis is shown to be struggling to adjust to no longer being fused with Jasper, as she had been together with her for so long that she missed her (a common symptom of being within an abusive relationship) until meeting with her again. Since she is the one who kept Jasper stuck with her as Malachite for the majority of their time as a fusion, the aforementioned symptom borders on Lima Syndrome: Jasper is shown to be desperate to fuse back into Malachite, even attempting to persuade Lapis to fuse with her again and states she has changed. However, Lapis came to realize that what she missed about Jasper was not her company but a person she despised enough to take her anger out on, refusing to fuse. Understanding that their relationship is unhealthy, Jasper blames Steven and attempts to shatter him, but Lapis, fortunately, punches her away into the ocean.

In "The New Crystal Gems", Lapis Lazuli is stern but neutral toward Connie since it is the first time they have met in person. Connie tries to remind her who she is, saying that she almost drowned her when she stole the ocean though Lapis responded: "I almost drowned a lot of people." After some time as the Crystal Temps, Lapis began to understand and respect Connie more, especially since Connie's speech near the end was on the level of Steven's speeches.

"Nice" & "Mean" Lapis “ I wish I hadn't done that. It's just... they reminded me so much of myself. It's infuriating.

” —"Why So Blue?" Lapis furious with other Lapis. Lapis furious with other Lapis.

Lapis first encountered these two fellow Lapis Lazulis in "Why So Blue?". The pair was still terraforming planets even after receiving Steven's message of peace. Initially, she wanted to fight them to stop the destruction, but Steven quickly convinced her to attempt a more peaceful way of negotiation. Together with him, she attempted to convince the other two Lapis to consider other opportunities of self-expression such as art, and attempts to give examples through singing and dancing, to no avail.

As "Mean" Lapis and "Nice" Lapis mock her behavior, Lapis becomes greatly upset to the point of attacking them anyways, and rapidly overpowers them, ultimately changing their mind over terraforming through force; However, she quickly feels guilt over her actions and retreats back to Little Homeschool. A while later, "Nice" Lapis ends up warping to Little Homeschool as well and timidly expresses her interest, to Lapis' delight.

"Navy" “ Steven, this makes no sense. Why would she wanna live here? We've been awful to her. She must hate us.

” —"Room for Ruby" Lapis charging at "Navy". Lapis charging at "Navy".

In "Room for Ruby", Lapis was willing to teach "Navy" how the Earth functioned out of comradeship. When "Navy" grows quickly accustomed to the Earth's wonders, she grows more suspicious of the behavior until she succumbs to distress over "Navy"'s outpacing adaptation, breaking down into fury and remorse. However, Lapis is relieved in the end when "Navy" admitted to acting out her behavior and laughs joyfully knowing her slow adaptation is normal.

Blue Diamond “ Knock her off this beach!

” —Lapis to Steven and the other Crystal Gems in "Reunited" Lapis rebelling against Blue Diamond. Lapis rebelling against Blue Diamond.

Before her entrapment in the mirror, Lapis served under Blue Diamond as her superior. It is unknown what her opinion was on the Diamonds before she was freed from her prison, but she does try to return to Homeworld promptly afterward. However, by "Reunited", it is shown that Lapis' view of the Diamonds has diminished greatly, as she defends the Earth against Blue Diamond (who is appalled to see Lapis Lazuli as a traitor). She is also the only Gem that can withstand Blue Diamond's pathokinesis, offering the simple explanation, "I've felt worse." In "Change Your Mind" Lapis and the rest of The Crystal Gems are willing to help Blue and Yellow to convince White to change her ways.

Rubies are common low-ranking soldier Gems that were used by Homeworld, usually for bodyguarding. All Rubies shown so far, including the Crystal Gems' Ruby, have been voiced by Lo Mutuc.

Role Main article: Caste System#Rubies Hit the Diamond HD 075 Rubies are a type of soldier caste and were low-ranking. Garnet describes them as "common", seeing as they are all originally identical to one another. They appear to be used as personal escorts and bodyguards for high-ranking Gems; typically Sapphires. Seeing as they are so numerous, inferred from Ruby's comment of there being "tons" of her, Rubies are considered somewhat unimportant and highly expendable grunts, though they compensate by fusing together into bigger constructs of themselves. According to Pearl, Rubies tend to come in teams of three or more. Rubies are also sent to different planets to seek out specific Gems.

As common soldiers, Rubies are not very intelligent, having been easily fooled by Steven's claims that Jasper was on Neptune and Amethyst's obvious disguise as Jasper and according to Holly Blue Agate are seen as being incompetent or irresponsible. In The Steven Universe Podcast, Rebecca Sugar says the Rubies' main strength on Homeworld is their ability to combine; a Ruby would never be sent alone to do anything. Rubies are not supposed to have different personalities; the fact that they do "flies under the radar" because they act serious around higher-ranking Gems.[1]

Physical Characteristics Rubies are short in size with boxy body shapes and large square-shaped afro-like hair. While they can have slightly different shades of skin tone and hair color, they have no other real physical differences between them.

Most Homeworld Rubies serving Yellow Diamond wear the standard uniform, although the Rubies "Doc" and "Navy" is an exception. Some Homeworld Rubies wear very basic uniforms with no clear insignia on them, though so far no reason why this is has been given.

Notable Rubies Ruby - A Ruby that remains fused with Sapphire as Garnet, a current member of the Crystal Gems. Ruby-1F4 Cut-4ND ("Eyeball") - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper, another veteran of the Gem war on Earth; a witness who testified against Steven in his trial. She later became Aquamarine's Fusion partner. "Army" - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper. "Navy" - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper, who would later steal the Roaming Eye after deceiving the Crystal Gems. "Leggy" - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper. "Doc" - A known Ruby sent to retrieve Jasper and the leader of the "Ruby Squad".

Other Rubies "The Answer" Two Rubies appear in Garnet's flashback in "The Answer". They were sent (along with the Crystal Gem Ruby) to Earth to escort Sapphire to Blue Diamond. They were poofed by Pearl, and their fates are unknown. They appear to be identical to the Crystal Gem Ruby and each other in appearance, clothing, and voice. Both Rubies seem to be obsessed with fighting.

Rhodonite's component Ruby One of Rhodonite's component Gems, who previously acted as a bodyguard to her Morganite before deciding to remain permanently fused with her owner's personal Pearl. Her gemstone is located on her navel.

Several Rubies are seen attending the Era 3 Ball in "Together Alone", accompanying various Sapphires.

The Rubies salute "Pink Diamond" (Steven), and many Rubies appear later at the dance.

A Ruby can be seen from behind in the movie. Her gemstone is located on her back.

Three Rubies are shown in the opening credits as bodyguards for Nanefua Pizza. Interestingly, in Steven Universe Future, only two bodyguards appear. They wear dark gray suits and sunglasses, typical to how a human bodyguard would dress.

Little Homeworld Rubies During "Little Homeschool", two Rubies can be seen running around as Steven gives Cherry Quartz a tour of Little Homeworld, and one of them is seen attending Garnet's meditation lesson. Both of them also appear in "Volleyball", this time accompanied by a third Ruby in a Yellow Diamond uniform. In "Everything's Fine, the mediation Ruby is seen playing baseball along with Larimar and Topaz. " In "The Future", the meditation Ruby is briefly seen chasing Lemon Jade down the sidewalk.

Ruby Fusions Ruby (Large Ruby) - The fusion of all three Rubies in "The Answer", one of which is the Crystal Gem Ruby. As their individual forms and gemstones are the same, their fusion remains identical except much larger in size. In this form, they are much more powerful. However, the actual extent of their strength in this form remains unclear because they fought against Rose Quartz, who is actually Pink Diamond in disguise. The Crystal Gem Ruby describes the fusion as just "[her] but bigger", implying the state of being is not that different for her unfused. "Giant Ruby" - The fusion of the Ruby Squad ("Eyeball", "Army", "Navy", "Leggy", and "Doc").

Trivia Rubies are in the lower class of the Gem hierarchy as foot soldiers, although in reality, rubies are nearly as rare and valuable as a diamond. Most of them are not very intelligent, with the exception of the Crystal Gem Ruby, "Navy", and to a certain extent, "Doc" and "Eyeball". In reality rubies and sapphires are extremely similar gemstones, both being varieties of corundum, however in the show they are portrayed as very different, both in class and appearance.
