Steven Universe Life Continues

   Keys: Earth. · Secondary: Main setting.

   Earth, also known as "Crystal System Colony Planet Earth", is an abandoned Gem colony planet and the primary location of Steven Universe and Steven Universe Future. Earth contains many native species, with the dominant species being humans. This Earth exists in an alternate universe, and while it is apparently similar, there are many differences.

   Type Planet Location Solar System, Orion–Cygnus Arm, Milky Way Galaxy Inhabitants Humans (dominant species) Animals Gems Homeworld Gems (originally; currently) Crystal Gems Off Colors (formerly) Corrupted Gems (formerly; currently uncorrupted) Cluster Gems The Cluster (inside)

   Colonization Era About 6,000 years ago, Pink Diamond was granted her first colony named Earth. Under her leadership, Homeworld Gems traveled to Earth in Era 1 Colony Ships and began to build a variety of structures all around the planet, such as spires, arenas, temples, and other buildings. Homeworld Gems also created Warp Pads, which allowed Gems to travel from place to place on Earth quickly. Warp Pads even allowed Gems to travel off-planet to other Gem colonies and the Gem Homeworld itself. A base was constructed on the Earth's moon, which was used by the Diamonds and other Gem elites to monitor and plan the Earth's colonization progress.

   The primary purpose of establishing a Gem colony on Earth was for Homeworld Gems to use the planet's rich and unique organic minerals to manufacture new Gems. The first Kindergarten on Earth, referred to as the Prime Kindergarten was established to serve the purpose of creating new Gems. With great success, the Prime Kindergarten efficiently produced new Gems, many of them being of the Quartz variety. Pink Diamond also used the Earth's materials to create a whole new class of Quartz Gems: Rose Quartzes.

   Sometime during colonization, Pink Diamond wished to personally meet her Quartz soldiers but knew that she would get in trouble if Yellow and Blue Diamond found out. Her Pearl suggested that she disguise herself as one of them and thus the persona of Rose Quartz was created. While touring the Earth with Pearl, she took note of how Gem colonization was becoming harmful to the Earth and its vast population of humans and other species. She begged the other Diamonds to let her halt colonization to spare the lives of the organics living on the planet, but they refused and created the human zoo in an attempt to satisfy her desire to preserve organic life.

   After they refused to let her halt the colonization process, Pink Diamond rebelled under her Rose Quartz persona. While she only intended to scare all gems off the planet at first, seeing Garnet form for the first time caused her to fight for the rights of other gems as well as for the life already on Earth. This led to the formation of the Crystal Gems. They agreed with Rose Quartz's beliefs that the Earth was unique and worth protecting, and they fought in the Rebellion, a 1,000-year-long war against the Homeworld Gems. The war ended after Pink Diamond faked her own death in order to live out the rest of her life as Rose Quartz. However, the Homeworld Gems, including the Diamonds, were not aware of this and continued to seek vengeance on Rose Quartz for shattering Pink. After Pink Diamond's alleged demise, the remaining Homeworld Gems attempted to abandon the Earth. The Diamonds then sent out the Corrupting Light as a final resort, regardless of the evacuation status.

   During the Rebellion, Homeworld Gems remained mostly dominant and were thus able to continue creating Gem structures, such as the Pyramid Temple. However, halfway through the war, Homeworld Gems struggled to keep up with Rose Quartz's army, since Rose Quartz could heal her wounded allies. They created the Beta Kindergarten to quickly generate more soldiers on the ground, which made the Beta Kindergarten a rushed job, and many of the Gems manufactured there came out defective.

   After Pink Diamond's alleged shattering, Homeworld Gems no longer saw Earth as a viable colony, due to the powerful Crystal Gems defending the planet. As a last resort, according to Garnet's story in "Your Mother and Mine," Yellow, Blue, and White Diamond launched the Corrupting Light on the Earth, corrupting all the rebellious Gems as well as loyal Gems who failed to evacuate the planet in time (such as Nephrite and her crew). Rose Quartz, however, protected Garnet and Pearl under her shield. Then, unbeknownst to the Crystal Gems, Homeworld collected the shattered remains of fallen Crystal Gems, with the goal of fusing all of the Gem Shards in a power weapon dubbed 'The Cluster'. The Cluster was planted to incubate in the Earth's mantle and would eventually destroy the Earth from the inside out. Homeworld Gems created some prototypes for the Cluster and stored them in the Prime Kindergarten Control Room.

   It Could've Been Great 171 Earth as a finished Gem colony

   As previously stated, the Crystal Gems ultimately warded Homeworld Gems off the planet, with only 5% of the colony completed (according to Peridot). If the colony was finished, many more structures would have been built, including 89 Kindergartens, 67 spires, and several Galaxy Warp stations. Also, the Earth was to be hollowed out down to the core, with large sections of the crust removed to make the most of its resources. However, due to Pink Diamond's alleged shattering, this plan was abandoned and replaced with the plans to create the Cluster.

   Differences Geographical It Could've Been Great 163 Global map of Earth seen on the moonbase in "It Could've Been Great". The red dots are Gem facilities.

   Maps of the globe seen in the show consistently depict significant geographical differences from real-life Earth:

   The Floridian Peninsula of North America, named the "Floridian Archipelago", is a series of small islands cut off from the mainland. Otherwise, the physical outline of North America on maps has not changed as drastically as some of the other continents. The United States is missing 11 states, only having 39, as mentioned by Steven when he tells Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst that he's leaving Beach City. The Great Lakes seem to be more interconnected. The entire Central American area is fragmented in a large group of islands. Mexico is named "Aqua Mexico". West Africa is joined with South America, which means the African continent is reduced in size on that side. As a result, the eastern side of South America — loosely corresponding to Brazil — is noticeably larger than in real life, jutting out east into the South Atlantic. South America as a whole is named "Pangea". A large island and two smaller islands can be seen off the South Atlantic coast of eastern South America, forming an island chain between it and Africa (ending around where Nigeria would be). Iceland does not exist. Greenland, named "Blueland", is slightly further east than in real life, making the Baffin Bay larger. Russia is missing a huge chunk of land area in the middle of Siberia — the size of Europe. Conspicuously, it is shaped like a neat circle, and a Gem facility (the Galaxy Warp according to Steven Universe: Art & Origins) is in the very center of it according to the map in the moon base. This Gem facility is at the same place as the Tunguska event (a presumptive meteor airburst in 1908). Steven Universe: Art & Origins indicates that the body of water is appropriately called the Tunguska Sea. The Indian Subcontinent, named the "Indian Islands", has been almost bisected horizontally by the ocean, in effect making the southern half a separate island (separated from the mainland only by a long but narrow inlet). Similar to India, Australia has been bisected vertically by the ocean, splitting it into two separate islands. The coastlines of the eastern island are what they are like in real life (except for the new western coast), but the ocean has flooded much of the western island. The larger island to the right retains the name "Australia", while the smaller island on its left is named "New Australia". The ocean has flooded much of southern China's coast. The Balearic Islands look remarkably different, and they are located near the northern coast of Africa, instead of the southern coast of Spain. Japan's islands seem fused together, with the northernmost (Hokkaido) forming a land bridge to mainland Asia through Sakhalin, but it is not clear if they are intentional or just due to the outlines of land masses appearing blurry on a large world map in this animation style. The Philippines appear to be much further west, almost touching Borneo. The coastline of Eastern Asia has drastically changed. The Polynesian islands are in many different positions. Indonesia and Malaysia are slightly closer together, and there are multiple new islands. The South Island of New Zealand is almost 50% longer, and Stewart Island is further south. The continent of Antarctica isn't shown in white but in green. The Kaliningrad Oblast appears to have been flooded by the Baltic Sea. Much of western Greece appears to be submerged underwater. The country of Albania also appears to have become a peninsula thanks to this, possibly drifting closer to Apulia, Italy with time. As seen from the Moon, the shadow and light from the sun on Earth meet at the equator, which may imply the planet has an entirely different rotation and axis than real life. In other episodes, the shadows are normal. This is possibly due to animation errors. Facets Homeworld Gems appear to have divided up the Earth into different sections, labeling them as 'Facets'. Each Facet name is followed up with a number that differentiates the several Facets. One of the Colony Plans was to have a Galaxy Warp in each Facet.

   Facet 5 – The Prime Kindergarten is located in Facet 5. Facet 6 – Eyeball states that she was in Facet 6 halfway through the Rebellion when Jasper formed. Facet 9 – The Beta Kindergarten is located in Facet 9. Social/Political/Historical There are several historical differences between Earth in the show and Earth in real life.

   Delmarva is a state, in which Beach City is located. In real life, this is just a term for the large peninsula on the east side of Chesapeake Bay, because it is shared by the states of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. In real life, the U.S. state of Pennsylvania is nicknamed "the Keystone State". In the Steven Universe world, it is officially named "Keystone" (though otherwise, it has the same borders as real-life Pennsylvania). Kansas is a major hub of the movie industry, with Kansas being Steven Universe's analog for Hollywood.[1] It could also be that, because state names in the U.S. are different, Kansas may be the name of California and vice versa. Or could be a reference to Strataca, a salt mine museum in Hutchinson, Kansas, owned by the Hutchinson Salt Company. The company is internationally known for its highly protective, secured storage capabilities, including being home to the original camera negative of many famous movies. There are only 39 states in the U.S. instead of 50 due to some being merged. The real-life state of "New Jersey" is named simply "Jersey". The real-life state of "New York" is named "Empire State" (as seen on official road signs). As with Pennsylvania/Keystone, "the Empire State" is the official nickname of New York state in real life. The real-life state of "Florida" is named "Florida Island", due to the fact that in the show it is not a peninsula, but a cluster of islands off the coast of what would be Georgia. Major American cities include Charm City,[2][3] Wilmingmore,[4] and Empire City. Charm City is a real-life nickname for Baltimore, Maryland. Wilmingmore is a portmanteau of the names of Wilmington, Delaware and Baltimore, Maryland. Empire City is its direct geographical analog of New York City. "Mr. Greg" confirmed that it contains locations like Brooklyn and Bowery, areas in real-life New York City. Culturally/historically, however, "Empire City" is sort of "a fusion of New York City, Paris, and Las Vegas".[1] Watermelon Steven (134) American currency, seen in "Watermelon Steven"

   The currency appears different in this timeline: some coins have segmented snake symbols or pictures of a woman resembling Pearl. $1 bills have images of an upward-pointing diamond on the left and a segmented snake symbol on the right. $3 bills also exist in this world. The snake symbol appears to be a combination of the Gadsden flag's coiled snake and the segmented snake of Benjamin Franklin's Join, or Die political cartoon. Instead of the FBI, there is the Department of Justice: Federal Bureau. Their symbol has 12 stars instead of 13, and instead of a shield surrounded by laurels, there is a snake resembling the one from the Gadsden flag, accompanied by a waning crescent moon symbol. Flag of Canada (SUT-CPHU) The Canadian/Great Northern flag within Steven Universe

   The Canadian flag is green and white, instead of being red and white. Canada's name is heavily implied to be the "Great North". As seen with Pennsylvania/Keystone and New York/Empire State, the name "Great White North" is a nickname for the country. Well-known holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving or Halloween do not exist as such in this world (though there are some generically similar holiday periods).[5] Judaism still exists in this world, although the previously mentioned lack of Christmas calls into question whether the other Abrahamic faiths (Christianity and Islam for instance) are practiced.[6] Korea exists and shares the same flag as South Korea, though it is unknown if it is split into North and South governments like in real life. Bulgaria is mentioned in "Sadie Killer", indicating it still exists and apparently produces a certain type of horror film enjoyed by an underground audience. While European Russia is intact, it is unknown if Russia exists as a solely European entity. Ghana is confirmed to exist.[7] An airliner seen flying over Beach City in "Steven Floats" with the airline "Dhawar Airlines". In real life, Dhawar is a settlement in India, which may imply that "Dhawar" replaces India on this earth. However, because the livery on the tail subtly references the remaining Diamonds, it's possible "Dhawar" may just be a pronunciation of "The War" and a reference to it as well Environmental Environmental influences either caused by the Gems or by geological differences.

   Pears are not very appreciated and are also very uncommon, growing only on the coasts of Eastern Europe and North Africa.[8] The mass production of durian juice would imply that the durian is much more common. A few unique fauna and flora exist, including the masked fish of Mask Island, giant strawberries, and gem lizards. The exact explanation for these species is never stated and it remains largely unsolved because aside from Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond, Gems as a whole rarely manipulated organic life.

   Keys: Gem Homeworld. · Secondary: Important location.

   The Gem Homeworld, or simply Homeworld, is the home planet of the Gem race and presumed capital of the Gems' intergalactic empire. It was initially mentioned in "Mirror Gem", and officially debuted in "The Trial".

   Name Gem Homeworld Type Planet Location Homeworld's Galaxy Inhabitants The Great Diamond Authority Homeworld Gems Off Colors (formerly)

   Owner The Great Diamond Authority Employees Homeworld Gems Appearances First Mirror Gem (mentioned) The Trial (official debut)

   Latest Homeworld Bound

   Descriptions Pre-"Change Your Mind" Little is known about the Gem Homeworld and its previous history, culture, and society. What is known, however, is that Homeworld used to be a totalitarian, oligarchical society governed by the Great Diamond Authority. In this society, the Diamonds ruled over Gemkind, which consisted of a variety of Gems, each assigned a different role based on their Gem-type according to the Caste System that was implemented. For instance, Pearls were servants and considered to be lower-ranking Gems, while the Diamonds were the highest-ranking Gems. The higher up on the Caste System a Gem was, the more privileges and responsibilities they had. Deviation from a Gems' given purpose resulted in punishment, which could sometimes escalate to shattering (the destruction of a Gem). The goal of the Gem race was to expand the Diamonds' "perfection" across the universe by traveling to other planets and establishing colonies. As noted in "It Could've Been Great", once suitable planets were located, they were exploited through facilities known as Kindergartens (which drains a planet's resources to create new Gems) and are terraformed to be made fit for Gem settlements. Any organic life living on a colonized planet would be killed since the process of creating new Gems completely strips a planet of its lifeforce, making the world unsuitable for new life to form. Once a colony is completely drained of its resources, they were typically abandoned and left as husks of their former selves.

   Homeworld In "Log Date 7 15 2", Garnet mentioned that the Gem Homeworld is not located in the Milky Way Galaxy, where Earth resides, but in a separate galaxy still visible from Earth. In Issue 12 (2017), Pearl reveals that Gem Homeworld is located in the other galaxy: Homeworld's Galaxy.

   The Trial 250 Homeworld is also technologically advanced, achieving intergalactic travel thousands of years before the beginning of the events of the series. According to Lapis Lazuli, it had become even more advanced since the Rebellion to the point of being unrecognizable when compared with the time that Lapis left, now possessing further technological achievements such as the Gem Warship and Gem Destabilizers. This advanced technology greatly contrasts the old and decrepit Gem technology left on Earth, which Peridot considers to be archaic.

   Homeworld in its entirety was shown for the first time in "Legs From Here to Homeworld", where the planet is shown to be a shattered ringworld. Two sets of dark blue rings surround the planet, where its rocky chunks are still held relatively close together by gravity. The surface of the chunks themselves is where the Gem Empire resides. The chunks are mostly white with small shades of other colors such as pink, blue and yellow mixed in as well. It is currently unknown what kind of catastrophic event has caused the planet to be shattered to the degree shown. The glossy surface of the planet is the dense cityscape carved into its natural surface. The planet has a pink-colored atmosphere breathable by humans, and a similar level of gravity to that of Earth.

   Above the planet's surface are layers of dense, artificial infrastructure. The architecture is geometrical, with many of the buildings taking the forms of crystalline structures or inverted pyramids. The sides of many buildings are dotted with dark, neatly-arranged holes. Translucent tubes connect many of the buildings, entering through these holes. Flashes of colored light can be seen traveling along the tubes, although their purpose is unknown. Deep, dark pits lead down into the planet's abandoned surface.

   The actual surface of Homeworld is dead, wasted, and abandoned, presumably from the Kindergartens draining the planet's natural nutrients. Dotted around the planet's surface are abandoned Gem structures. Some of the abandoned structures include ancient obelisks resembling the newer ones placed on the upper levels. The old broken statues left behind appear to be fusions, implying that when the original surface began to die Homeworld Gems began to expand upwards, leaving old buildings and some aspects of their culture behind.

   Homeworld was a warlike, inhumane society bent on spreading Gems across the universe at any cost, including wiping out organic life. They simply did not care about non-Gem life forms, seeing them as inferior. The Gems came to Earth for the reasons of building a colony and later destroying it after the Rebellion.

   Post-Steven Universe: The Movie After the events of "Change Your Mind", the Diamonds realized the error of their ways thanks to Steven, and completely dismantled Gem society. Realizing that their previous ways of ruling Gemkind were immoral, the Diamonds first disposed of the Caste System so that all Gems are equal; any Gem is free to live the life they want without fear of persecution and punishment. Next, the Diamonds dismantled their armies and ceased colonization of other planets. Finally, Gems are now free to live wherever they please in the universe; Homeworld, Gem colonies, Earth, or anywhere else. Although the Diamonds are still the leaders of the Gem race, they are much more lenient with their ruling and now wish to spread peace and love across space.

   Homeworld Bound 024 Homeworld as seen on "Homeworld Bound"

   The atmosphere displays a gradient from a pinkish-white hue at the bottom to a sky-blue shade at the top. There have also been slight alterations to structures like the Diamond Palace. The palace now features waterfalls and vegetation. In close proximity to the palace, prism-like structures adorned with banners in hues of pink, yellow, and blue, each displaying Gem Glyphs, hover. The pyramids are now embellished with greenery, and the plants are placed along the sidewalk leading to the Warp Pad in front of the palace.

   Locations Main article: Gem Homeworld/Locations History "Mirror Gem"/"Ocean Gem" Lapis Lazuli desired to return "home", referring to the Gem Homeworld. It can be seen that the Gem Homeworld is within a great distance from Earth and that Lapis Lazuli leaves Earth and travels in the direction of these stars to the Gem Homeworld. The stars are similar to what may be a map on the Galaxy Warp.

   "Space Race" Pearl mentions that the Galaxy Warp once served as a method of transport directly between Homeworld and Earth via the now inactive Homeworld Warp Pad.

   "Warp Tour" The Gem Homeworld is mentioned by name, and Peridot warps to Earth from there. The Homeworld Warp Pad is repaired by her Flask Robonoids for Peridot to perform a maintenance check. Upon her departure, Garnet destroys the Warp Pad with her gauntlets, once again preventing travel to and from Homeworld.

   "On the Run" Amethyst reveals that the Homeworld Gems created other Gems in a facility known as a Kindergarten. Amethyst, among many other Gems, is one of these creations.

   "Marble Madness" According to Peridot, Homeworld has records containing information. These records state that Gems were wiped out on Earth, which is what Homeworld presumed when the Corrupting Light went off.

   "The Message" Lapis Lazuli states that Homeworld is much more advanced, and she does not understand any of it. She contacted the Gems with technology that could communicate with the Wailing Stone, but only with help from Greg.

   "The Return"/"Jail Break" The Gem Warship, transporting Jasper, Peridot, and Lapis Lazuli, is dispatched to Earth from Homeworld. It is supposed to return to Homeworld, but it crashes back to Earth.

   "Friend Ship" An Ancient Gem Colony Ship is visited by the Crystal Gems during their pursuit of Peridot. Such ships were the fastest way to travel between Earth and Homeworld before the building of the Warp Pads.

   "Catch and Release" Peridot had attempted to repair the Homeworld Warp again, successfully collecting all the pieces of the Warp Pad. Unfortunately, without her Flask Robonoids, she was unable to repair it completely. Peridot is then defeated and temporarily bubbled by the Crystal Gems until Steven unbubbles her in an attempt to find out more about Peridot's real mission on Earth. It is later revealed by Peridot that she was sent on a mission from Homeward to Earth to report progress on the emergence of the Cluster.

   "When It Rains" Peridot reveals that it does not rain on the Gem Homeworld. According to her, Homeworld eventually no longer saw the Earth as a viable colony and decided to use it for experimentation, apparently several centuries ago. One such experiment is the Cluster, composed of millions of Gem Shards. At this point, it is currently residing in the Earth's core.

   "Back to the Barn" Peridot mentions Homeworld when she explains that Pearls such as Pearl herself are servants there.

   "The Answer" Garnet mentions that Homeworld sent numerous diplomats to Earth, and it is revealed that there is another authority figure called Blue Diamond.

   "It Could've Been Great" While on the moon retrieving vital information on the Cluster, Peridot explains that Gem physiology is designed for the express purpose of aiding Homeworld's interstellar conquering. Later, she reveals Homeworld's original plan for terraforming the Earth.

   "Message Received" Peridot manages to contact Homeworld through a Diamond Communicator from the Gem Moon Base, and Yellow Diamond's base, presumably somewhere on or near Homeworld, is seen during her conversation with Peridot about sparing the Earth from the Cluster.

   "Log Date 7 15 2" Garnet points out Homeworld in the night sky and reveals that it is in another galaxy of its own, instead of the Milky Way.

   "Same Old World" Lapis Lazuli tells Steven about how she was caught in the middle of the Rebellion. She was poofed, picked up by a Homeworld soldier, and mistaken for a Crystal Gem. Homeworld forces placed Lapis into a mirror and asked her where the Crystal Gems' base and their leader was, but Lapis did not have the answers. When the Rebellion could not be stopped, Homeworld fled Earth and left Lapis behind on Earth.

   "Barn Mates" A Roaming Eye ship is sent to Earth from Homeworld with five Ruby soldiers inside.

   "Hit the Diamond" The Rubies sent to Earth from Homeworld reveal that they were sent by Yellow Diamond to find Jasper (who is the head of the "failed" Earth mission to escort Peridot).

   "Too Short to Ride" Peridot tells Steven and Amethyst that Homeworld's resources are depleting and newer generation (Era 2) Peridots lack basic powers and abilities. This may or may not limit newer generation Gems to have weapons or even fuse.

   "Monster Reunion" It is revealed that Nephrite was the captain of a squadron sent from Homeworld to Earth during the Rebellion in an Ancient Gem Colony Ship, alongside her crew, by an unknown Gem commander.

   "Bismuth" Garnet tells Bismuth that the Gems on Homeworld outnumber the Crystal Gems by a huge amount. Bismuth reveals to Steven that Homeworld used Bismuths to "erect spires and temples for the Gem elites to enjoy". She also tells Steven that Bismuths were used to build arenas and spires were used for philosophers to think in.

   "Beta" Peridot reveals to Steven and Amethyst that Homeworld struggled to generate extra soldiers to compete with Rose's army halfway during the Rebellion, so they created the Beta Kindergarten: a rushed Kindergarten used to get soldiers on the ground quickly.

   "Earthlings" Jasper tells a Corrupted Gem that her weakness is what embarrasses Homeworld. She also tells Steven, Peridot, and Amethyst that every Gem is made to serve the Great Diamond Authority. Those who do not serve the Diamonds are to be shattered and is considered a disgraceful act.

   "Back to the Moon" The Rubies reveal that Homeworld Gems have to write up reports after completing missions, hinted at by Peridot when she had her Limb Enhancers.

   "Bubbled" "Eyeball" tells Steven that she heard rumors that there could still be Crystal Gems (including Rose Quartz) on Earth. These rumors could have possibly originated on Homeworld.

   "Kindergarten Kid" Peridot reveals that there are no Corrupted Gems on Homeworld.

   "Stuck Together" Aquamarine, Topaz, Steven, and Lars arrive on Homeworld via Aquamarine's Ship. They land in a green docking area, where the Topazes take Steven and Lars to different areas.

   "The Trial" Through the whole episode, Steven is put on trial by the Diamonds for the crimes of Rose Quartz, when the defending Zircon discovers that the rumors of Pink Diamond's shattering do not make much sense or match with the crime, she accuses the Diamonds as potential suspects. After Yellow and Blue Diamond start arguing when the former poofed both Zircons, Steven and Lars escape by stealing Blue Diamond's palanquin.

   "Off Colors" Lars and Steven flee from a Shattering Robonoid until they encounter the Rutile Twins, who help them find their way through an abandoned Homeworld Kindergarten and meet the other Off Colors: Padparadscha, Rhodonite, and Fluorite. The group explains that defective Gems are not accepted in Homeworld society and consequently shattered. After Lars dies defending the Off Colors from some Shattering Robonoids, he is revived by Steven's healing powers.

   "Lars' Head" After bringing Lars back to life, Steven discovers that Lars' hair now works as a portal to Earth by virtue of being connected to Lion's Dimension. When Lars proposes Steven and the Off Colors go to Earth while he stays behind, the Off Colors refuse because they do not want to leave Lars alone. Lars insists Steven return, however, eventually convincing him to reluctantly go back home to Earth.

   "Dewey Wins" Steven tells Connie about his experience on Homeworld, such as being put on trial and chased alongside Lars by robonoids.

   "Gemcation" Greg assumes that what is upsetting Steven is something that happened on Homeworld that Greg would not understand, so he convinces Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl to talk to Steven and try to make him feel better.

   "Raising the Barn" Steven tells Peridot and Lapis about his trip to Homeworld. When he mentions that he fled the Diamonds, Lapis panics and prepares to leave Earth.

   "Lars of the Stars" Lars tells Steven how he and the rest of the Off Colors escaped from the planet.

   "Reunited" Blue Diamond tells Steven about how he escaped Homeworld and crawled back to his home planet, Earth.

   "Legs From Here to Homeworld" The Crystal Gems (minus Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis Lazuli), along with the Diamonds, travel to Homeworld to discuss the cure to corruption with White Diamond.

   "Familiar" Steven explores various locations on Homeworld such as Blue's pool and Yellow Diamond's extraction chambers.

   "Together Alone" Steven and the other Diamonds prepare the Era 3 Ball to celebrate Pink Diamond's return and to begin discussions with White Diamond. At the end of the episode, Stevonnie is thrown into the Prison Tower.

   "Escapism" Steven uses his mind powers to get help from the other Crystal Gems while still stuck in the Prison Tower.

   "Change Your Mind" Steven manages to escape the Prison Tower and fight the Diamond Mech and White Diamond in the heart of Homeworld's city.

   Steven Universe: The Movie Homeworld is shown at the start of the movie when White, Blue, and Yellow try to convince Steven to stay there in the palace with them.

   "Homeworld Bound" White Diamond's ship is surrounded by colorful structures; the atmosphere is pinkish white at the bottom and sky blue at the top, as opposed to the usual night sky with stars last seen in "Steven Universe: The Movie" and Blue and Yellow Diamond's ship are nowhere to be seen, but when they travel to the Earth on "I Am My Monster" they can be seen. White's Ship is in front of the warp pad that Steven arrives in, situated in the pink section of the big diamond emblem that Homeworld Gems were standing in when the Crystal Gems; accompanied by Yellow and Blue Diamond, arrived at Homeworld in "Legs From Here To Homeworld". The Throne Room is now used for display, and the three diamonds now have their own rooms, dedicated majorly to their new abilities.

   Caste System Homeworld used to maintain a strict caste system, with each type of gemstone having a predetermined role and place in the social pyramid, each with their privileges and ordained purposes. Any Gem who, in any way, digresses from their role, be it intentional or not, would be considered defective. Since the penalties for such actions are severe, most disgruntled Homeworld Gems either keep their dissension to themselves or were forced to go into hiding. Because there are so many of one type of Gem, the Homeworld Gems — except the Diamonds — distinguished themselves via coded serial numbers.

   Main article: Caste System Eras “ Resources are dwindling on Homeworld. They can't make Gems like they used to. That's why they give Era 2 Peridots technological enhancements. Because we... don't have powers.

   ” —Peridot, "Too Short to Ride" Eras refer to different points in Homeworld history.

   Era 1 Things labeled as "Era 1" were created before the alleged shattering of Pink Diamond. During this period, resources were abundant on Homeworld and the Diamonds expanded their Empire across the galaxy. Some examples of Era 1 artifacts are the majority of the Gem structures on Earth, and the Ancient Gem Colony Ship. Era 1 Gems possess all standard Gem abilities. Joe Johnston also points out that Era 1 architecture is based on Art Deco with Roman columns.[1]

   Era 2 Era 2 began with the alleged shattering of Pink Diamond. At some point in time after the Rebellion, Homeworld began running low on resources. To compensate, Homeworld Gems manufactured Gems with fewer abilities to continue Gem production on Homeworld. Some Era 2 Gems are given technological enhancements to make up for their inferior nature. Era 2 ships, such as the Roaming Eye, are known to be more advanced than Era 1 ships. Peridot is an example of an Era 2 Gem. The Ruby known as "Leggy" is quite young and could be presumed as Era 2. Era 2 is more rigid, sleek, and controlled, with its postmodern aesthetic.[1]

   Era 3 Era 3 began with the return of "Pink Diamond" (Steven) to Homeworld after roughly 6,000 years. The beginning of Era 3 was celebrated with a large ball (in "Together Alone"). After the events of "Change Your Mind", Era 3 continued with the cure of Gem corruption on Earth, the dissolution of Homeworld's armies, and the liberation of existing colony worlds, all due to Steven's influence over the other Diamonds' way of thinking. The Diamonds gave up their power and introduced democratic elections as a republic in their stead.

   Occupations There are occupations on Homeworld which were filled by one or more types of Gems in accordance with the strict caste system. However, since the caste system has been dismantled these occupations can presumably now be filled by any Gem. They include but are not limited to:

   Administrators Agents Architects Aristocrats Builders Captains Commanders Elites Entertainers Guards Kindergarteners Lawyers Leaders Managers Miners Officers Overseers Philosophers Pilots Prism-bearers Rulers Scouts Servants Soldiers Supervisors Technicians Terraformers Warriors Technology “ Steven, Homeworld is not the way it used to be. Everything here is so advanced! I can't even understand it! There's no way anything on Earth can stand up to it! Please, don't put up a fight, it'll only lead to devastation!

   ” —Lapis Lazuli, "The Message" Over the past 5,000 years, the Homeworld Gems have developed advanced technology unfamiliar to the earthbound Crystal Gems. However, even 5,000 years prior, Gem technology was already considerably high-tech, already having invented things like space travel and holographic projection.

   In contrast to earlier Gem technology, which is notably rock- and light-based, some recent Homeworld innovations have seemingly electrical and plastic components, such as destabilizers or robonoids.

The accused is assigned an attorney to convince the Diamonds of negating further charges or the charge entirely. The accusing party, called the plaintiff, assigns a prosecutor to present the case against the accused and convict the defendant.

   The court also contains a court reporter that transcribes everything that occurs in the courtroom and a court sketch artist to depict proceedings inside the courtroom. After hearing both sides' cases, the judges decide whether the defendant is innocent or guilty and, if they are guilty, how and what will be the appropriate charge or sentence.

   The only case seen so far was when Steven (posing as Rose Quartz) was tried in front of Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond, acting as both judges and plaintiffs, with a Zircon being Steven's defense lawyer and another Zircon as the prosecutor of the case. Both of the Diamond's Pearls are also present, Yellow Pearl acting as the court reporter and Blue Pearl as the court sketch artist.

   Previous Rules and Taboos All Gems were expected to follow the rules enforced by the Great Diamond Authority. Depending on the severity of a broken rule, a Gem could've faced a number of punishments.

   A Gem Must Remain in Their Caste Every Gem had a purpose in Homeworld's society. Some were scientists, some were pilots, but regardless, a Gem must perform the duties they were made for. A Gem straying away from their purpose, such as a soldier creating art, would've resulted in punishment.

   Fusion Fusion only had one purpose in Homeworld society, and that was to be used as weapons during times of conflict, otherwise, their existence would be considered purposeless and useless. Fusion, however, could only occur between the same types of Gems, such as two or more Rubies. Cross-Gem fusions, such as a Ruby and a Sapphire, were considered disgraceful and always resulted in a punishment. This was to prevent two Gems of lower caste from fusing into a higher-ranking Gem.

   Shapeshifting Similar to Fusion, shapeshifting was only to be allowed if it was to aid the Gem into fulfilling her purpose, such as a builder shapeshifting her hands into construction tools. Gems reshaping themselves outside their respective purpose was considered an insult to the Gem's intended form.

   Previous Punishment “ Every Gem is made with a purpose: To serve the Order of the Diamonds. Those who cannot fit inside this order must be purged! To come out misshapen, to reshape yourself outside your purpose, and to defend this ruined, worthless planet is a disgrace!

   ” —Jasper, "Earthlings" Punishment was reserved for Gems who showed any disloyalty or perform treason against the Great Diamond Authority.

   Execution (Shattering) – Formerly the most common punishment, which involved the shattering of the gemstone, eliminating the core of the Gem and the Gem themselves. Rose confided to Pearl that losing the war would end in them being shattered by the Diamonds. Ruby was sentenced to be broken by Blue Diamond for accidentally fusing with Sapphire, shortly before the latter rescued her soon-to-be former guard, and Yellow Diamond proposed (on deaf ears) to shatter every Rose Quartz Gem because of the actions of Rose Quartz for shattering Pink Diamond. Forced Fusion* – As theorized by Garnet, the Gem Mutants were created as a punishment to the fallen rebels for siding with Rose Quartz and the Crystal Gems during the war for Earth. However, as seen in Yellow Diamond's bubble chamber, they seem to be experimental and not entirely made to suffer. Rejuvenation* – According to Bismuth, Homeworld's Authorities used to use The Gem Rejuvenator to reset Gems that were seen to have defected. Also, Pearls who were considered defective and could not be repaired/healed by Shell were restrained and reset in The Reef. However, it does not seem to be in the vein of punishment; rather, a discarded means of restoring the offender to do their job like before, though Rejuvenation can be undone, leading to the practice being fairly unknown to Gems in Era 2 that would have no need/status for a Pearl. Bubbling* – The Diamonds used to have every Rose Quartz Gem bubbled and placed in Pink Diamond's Zoo until Era 3, both in memory of Pink Diamond and for being the Gem type that Rose Quartz was, who allegedly assassinated Pink Diamond. Certain gems, presumed to be forced fusions, are bubbled in Yellow Diamond's bubble chamber, letting on that even Homeworld uses bubbling as a humane alternative to other means of reuse. The Crystal Gems (Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Pearl) were bubbled after the Era 3 ball incident until they were released. Harvesting – This presumably involves the recovery and containment of the offender's gemstone to be used for some unknown purpose. Peridot assumed this would happen to her when she saw the Gem Bubbles in the Burning Room. The name suggests that defective (even beyond the standards of Era 2) Gems would be recycled for resources long since depleted. Conscious incarceration – During the Rebellion, Homeworld forces recovered Lapis' gemstone and placed it in a mirror in an attempt to gather intelligence on the Crystal Gems from her, confusing her for one of them. In addition, the useful containment of Gem Shards seemed to share a concept- however, the latter had more control over their prisons, leading to revolt. Corruption – Corruption was indirectly used as a punishment against the Crystal Gems, and all other Gems present on Earth, from a blast created by White, Yellow, and Blue Diamond. However, as evidenced by the reactions of Blue and Yellow, this was an accident; the intention was a mass shattering. Certain means prevented damage- though very few gems survived such a widespread phenomenon. Records On numerous occasions, it has been stated that Homeworld has records cataloging different events in Gem history and facts about locations. It is unknown if reports that Gems must complete after missions are also cataloged in these records.

   The records are known to contain hundreds of years of reports cataloging the Rebellion which Peridot has read up on. The Defending Zircon says that records state Pink Diamond was shattered by Rose Quartz in front of her entire entourage. In addition, the records state that Pink Diamond was shattered outside of her own palanquin. Witnesses stated that Pink Diamond stepped out of her palanquin when Rose suddenly attacked her from the front. The records also state that all Gems were wiped out on Earth, according to Peridot. During "The Trial", Yellow Pearl writes down every event that takes place and tells Steven to state his name for the records.

   Keys: Beach City. · Secondary: Main location.

   Beach City is the primary location in the Steven Universe franchise. It is situated in Beach County[1] in the fictional state of Delmarva, in the 443 area code, on the East Coast of the United States.

   Name Beach City Type City Location Delmarva, USA Inhabitants Steven Universe (formerly) Rose Quartz (deceased) Greg Universe Garnet Pearl Amethyst Nanefua Pizza (mayor) Bill Dewey (former mayor) Dante Barriga Martha Barriga Lars Barriga (formerly) Sadie Miller (formerly) Mr. Fryman Peedee Fryman Ronaldo Fryman Jamie Kofi Pizza Kiki Pizza Jenny Pizza Harold Smiley Vidalia Yellowtail Sour Cream Onion Buck Dewey William Buford Buchanan (formerly) Buddy Buddwick (formerly) William Dewey (formerly) Suitcase Sam Barbara Miller Padparadscha (formerly) Rhodonite (formerly) Rutile Twins (formerly) Fluorite (formerly) Chert Flint Right cheek Jade Appearances First "Pilot" "Gem Glow" (main series) Latest "The Future"

   History The Crystal Gems have resided in Beach City before Bill Dewey's great-great-great-great-grandfather, Captain William Dewey, founded Beach City nearly 200 years ago. After many months out at sea, the Crystal Gems, as messengers of Rose Quartz, came across William Dewey's ship and warned the captain and crew to turn back, as the land that would soon be known as Beach City was dangerous and not safe for humans. William Dewey, after an incident with the mast of his ship, drifted across the sea until he and his crew encountered a massive storm and a giant Gem Monster. The ship was saved from being sunk after a Crystal Gem fusion (Obsidian)[2] saved William Dewey and the ship. She brought Dewey and the ship to shore and told the captain not to reside on the land. William Dewey chose to stay on the land, and the Fusion accepted William's decision and informed him that she would most likely interfere again.[3] The Crystal Gems continue to reside in Beach City where they watch over and protect its inhabitants from danger and evil.

   The entire city was evacuated during "The Return", due to the impending arrival of a Homeworld Gem Warship. A large chunk is missing from the hill on which the Lighthouse and Crystal Temple are situated, due to the explosion made when the ship crashed into the hill. Beach City's inhabitants returned during "Full Disclosure".

   In Steven Universe: The Movie, Spinel's Injector's injection site was on the hill, which created a crater in the hill that was worsened when reinjected. The injector's second, accelerated release decimated Beach City, forcing its citizens to evacuate to Little Homeworld. It was rebuilt at the end of the movie during a series of time skips.

5. #5Beach Houseconstantselective

   Keys: Beach House. · Secondary: Location.

   The Beach House is the former home of Steven Universe and serves as the entrance to the Crystal Temple. It was partially destroyed by the parts of Blue Diamond's ship as of "Reunited", but (at least its exterior) was seen under construction in "Escapism" and being repaired later in the episode, "Change Your Mind". In Steven Universe: The Movie, the house has been expanded. However, in "Prickly Pair", the front door was destroyed by Cactus Steven, along with a sizable portion of the front wall being destroyed. In "I Am My Monster," the entirety of the front wall was bashed open when Steven transformed into a Gem monster. Steven moved out of the house in "The Future" and gifts his old room to his father, Greg.

   Type Residence Location Crystal Temple, Beach City Inhabitants Greg Universe Steven Universe (formerly) Garnet Amethyst Pearl Lion Cat Steven Peridot (briefly) Pumpkin (briefly) Appearances First "Pilot" "Gem Glow" (main series) Latest "The Future" About As seen in the extended theme song, Greg Universe, with the help of the Crystal Gems, built the Beach House over the entrance of the Crystal Temple so Steven could live with the Gems. While Steven stays in the Beach House, the Crystal Gems have their own rooms within the Temple, accessible via the Temple Gate.

   The original house was a modest-sized dwelling with one large interior room and an upper level. The upper level served as Steven's bedroom while the main interior contained a lounge with a fireplace and a kitchen/bar. The door to the bathroom was located on the back left, past the fireplace, while the bathroom itself was built directly below the upper level. Outside was a balcony/deck with further seating and an umbrella. Hanging inside, a picture of Rose Quartz was above the door. The far side of the house's interior opened into the foyer of the Crystal Temple. Just outside the Temple Gate was a Warp Pad. This version of the house was partially destroyed in "Reunited".

   Soon after Steven left to visit the Gem Homeworld, Bismuth (using her natural building abilities) and Greg started repairing the house as seen in "Escapism". Two years later in Steven Universe: The Movie, the beach house has not only been repaired but greatly expanded. Steven's old bedroom was removed and the house was given a second floor with a new, larger bedroom for Steven. Just outside Steven's bedroom is a new, higher balcony directly connecting to the outdoor walkway leading to a new separate nearby structure: A crystal-domed conservatory containing a second, galaxy-capable Warp Pad and Steven's own Diamond control panel similar to the one in Pink Diamond's Moon Base. The conservatory also functions as a sunroom and greenhouse, containing multiple potted rose and hibiscus bushes, gardening tools, a bench, a bean bag chair, and a bed for Lion. Rose's picture now hanging on the wall of the stairway (now it's inside of Pink Dimension), later the picture of Steven and his friends along with the picture of Cat Steven. There is a flagpole out front with two flags, which represent Earth and Homeworld respectively, as a sign of peace between the two worlds as part of Era 3. Both flags have a black fringe. The Earth flag has a background with three shades of blue representing space, an orange hexagram with a yellow circle in the center representing the sun, and a small blue circle in the hexagram's upper right corner representing Earth. The Homeworld flag has a dark blue background representing space, a saltire with white, blue, pink, and yellow arms representing the Diamonds and two pink and white semicircles representing Homeworld.

   Keys: Garnet. · Secondary: Main character.

   Garnet is the fusion of Ruby and Sapphire and the current de facto leader of the Crystal Gems. Garnet is one of the last surviving Gems on Earth who joined the Crystal Gems in the Rebellion against the Gem Homeworld and afterward assisted her friends in protecting the Earth over the next few millennia. After Rose Quartz gave up her physical form to give birth to her son, Steven Universe, Garnet took over as the leader of the group. Years later, Garnet is still an extremely stable fusion, living a loving and peaceful life among the Crystal Gems and their uncorrupted allies. This life came under threat when Spinel returned and struck her with a Gem Rejuvenator, wiping her memories and separating Ruby and Sapphire. The two then fuse accidentally and are subsequently restored when she is reminded of the value of truth and love. Garnet no longer feels pressured or overwhelmed due to her future vision which had caused her to once be stoic and distant, but instead is ready to face the future as it naturally unfolds.

   Appearance Garnet No Visor2 Garnet without her visor.

   Garnet is the tallest of the Crystal Gems we meet in the show's debut. She has three eyes, which are usually hidden behind a pair of shades. Her right eye is a medium ruby-red, her left a medium sapphire-blue, while the center third eye is an dark purple color, a mix of the other two. Her gemstones are embedded in the palms of her hands. Like Ruby, she has a deep violet cube-shaped afro and a magenta skin tone, while her facial features more closely resemble Sapphire's, with a square jaw, and plump lips.

   First Form In "The Answer", Ruby and Sapphire fuse into Garnet for the first time. Garnet has curly hair that is mostly light blue with the left side being mostly hot pink instead and magenta skin. Their bodysuit is split diagonally. The right side resembles Ruby's bodysuit but colored light pink with medium length sleeves. The collar and sleeve on the right side have a dull indigo cuff/collar. The left side resembles Sapphire's dress, but colored dull indigo, with a slightly puffy pale blue sleeve. She also has a dull indigo glove on her left arm starting from her elbow and covering her entire hand. Her dull indigo half-dress stops a little below her hips, where it extends out a bit. Her leggings are hot pink on her right leg and dull indigo on her left. She has a tall dull indigo boot on her right foot and no left boot, and she does not have a visor like her later regenerations. This form reappears in a flashback from "Now We're Only Falling Apart" and Steven Universe: The Movie, when Garnet re-fuses.

   1980s-90s Regeneration In "Story for Steven", "We Need to Talk", and "Greg the Babysitter", episodes that flashback to around the 1980s, Garnet's bodysuit is red, white, and black. The top half is maroon with a misty rose collar and zigzag design, with crimson puffy sleeves. The bottom half is black with mulberry-colored heels and toes of her feet. Her shades are tinted blue and yellow and appear more rounded than her debut design, her hair is the same length as her current design but the same size as her debut design, and she is not wearing gloves. Her gauntlets are also the same as her debut design.

   Pre-regeneration (debut) She had medium, red skin, and black hair styled into a cube-shaped afro. She almost always wore triangular futuristic, translucent peach-tinted shades, which covers all three of her eyes. She wore a black and crimson bodysuit, with cubic shoulder pads (the right one being brink pink, the left one being crimson), and a pale pink star with a brink pink outline on her chest. She also wore long, elbow-length black gloves that covered her middle fingers. This form also appears in the flashback of "Three Gems and a Baby", and briefly in Steven Universe: The Movie.

   Post-regeneration (previous) From "Jail Break" to "Together Alone", Garnet continued to wear the same bodysuit, but with a different color scheme and pattern. As opposed to crimson and black, her bodysuit became more colorful. Her right half was covered in a midnight stocking, and her left was covered in a dark orchid stocking. Her skin tone also changed, now a soft cerise color rather than red. Her weapons became a dark crimson color. However, there is a ring of black on the outside closest to her arms, and the glowing aura that appears when summoning them became pale magenta. Instead of a gold star on the end facing her arms, they are just plain orange. The star on her top's color also changed - instead of a pink star with a magenta outline, it became an amaranth-colored star with a soft-pink outline. Her hair was changed from black to dark-purple and became shorter and smaller than before. Her shades, instead of pale-orange and white, became a soft-pink and pale-blue. Her shoulder pads were pear-like instead of cube-like, and both were a dark orchid color as well as her arms and gloves. This costume lacked contrast in colors compared to her pre-regeneration outfit. The two halves of her lower body were separated straight down the middle as opposed to the left thigh before regeneration. Her shades also changed colors from pale red to blue frequently to indicate Ruby or Sapphire's impulse in Garnet.

   After her reformation in "Reunited", she wore a copper ring on her left ring finger and a tin ring on her right ring finger to indicate Ruby and Sapphire's marriage.

   Current regeneration As of "Change Your Mind". Garnet's shades are now marigold and takes the shape of the top of a star. The shape of her suit is unaffected, but the coloring is. The upper torso is now cerise with a pale pink, almost white, 4-pointed star on top with an orchid-colored outline which also now faces sideways. The abdominal area is magenta on the left side and cobalt blue on the right. The legs are now completely midnight blue and hot magenta at the toes. Her shoulder pads are also phlox-colored, and she keeps her gloves and wedding rings. She keeps this regeneration after regenerating in Steven Universe: The Movie. Not noticed by many, her skin tone is slightly darker.

   Personality “ Garnet is definitely the leader of the team. She is totally in control of everything everyone does.

   ” —Rebecca Sugar Though she is often the most pragmatic and straightforward of the Crystal Gems, Garnet tends to act on intuition rather than seriously analyzing a situation, as often seen throughout the series. As the leader, Garnet is often the peacemaker of the Crystal Gems, especially when Pearl and Amethyst start arguing. She demands the utmost respect from the other Crystal Gems and is not hesitant to berate team members should they refuse to follow an order.

   Equable and mellow, Garnet is capable of remaining composed in most situations – this characteristic is derived from Sapphire. This is displayed in the episode, "The Return", where Amethyst and Pearl were at a loss for words when they tried to explain to Steven why he was forbidden from fighting alongside them at the Gem Warship's landing. Garnet was the only Crystal Gem who was able to effectively get their point across and convince Steven to join Beach City's evacuation. She was able to remain strong and act practically despite the dangerous and uncertain situation.

   Garnet demonstrates a fierce, competitive spirit. This is best seen while she is playing volleyball in "Beach Party", "Steven Tag" in "Keep Beach City Weird", and arcade games in "Arcade Mania". Garnet also tends to act in extremes, either maintaining her very reserved nature or lashing out with strong emotion. Both of these personalities come from her two constituent Gems, the conservative Sapphire and passionate Ruby. Despite this, it should also be noted that Garnet can be seen with emotions neutral to these, but it is a rare occurrence.

   While mostly level-headed, Garnet can still lose her cool. When Steven began rapidly aging in "So Many Birthdays", Garnet started violently shaking him in her desperation, believing that violence might be the answer. Another example of this can be seen in "Fusion Cuisine" as she panics under pressure when talking to Connie's mother over the phone, leading her to claim that Steven and Connie had died while playing with swords. In "Steven's Dream", when Greg has been captured, she is constantly apologizing to Steven about how she should have told him about what was going to happen since the beginning.

   The de-fusion and eventual re-fusion of Ruby and Sapphire in "The Return" and "Jail Break" appear to have had an impact on Garnet's personality (which might be due to hiding her fusion status from Steven); in consequent episodes, she appears much more outspoken, lively, and engaging. In "Jail Break", she shows great enthusiasm when reunited with Steven and in her fight with Jasper, as opposed to her reserved façade pre-regeneration. When looking at the events of "Joy Ride", she speaks the most out of the three, again contrasting with pre-regeneration Garnet. In "When It Rains", before the gems leave on a mission Garnet forms a heart with her hands and tells Steven she loves him. "Log Date 7 15 2" is the greatest example of Garnet's change as she talks to Peridot with openness, compassion, and warmth, even offering to fuse with her to help them understand each other. She has also slowly become more fun-loving. In "Kindergarten Kid", she reveals she and the Gems stayed to watch Steven and Peridot because Peridot's plans would be funny. In "Know Your Fusion", she expresses both shock and joy at Steven and Amethyst fusing, picking up and shaking Pearl while screaming in happiness. In "Mindful Education", she made a "fusion sign" to cheer on Stevonnie.

   Garnet is also the most encouraging of the Crystal Gems and is usually the first to give Steven the chance to try out his ideas (particularly in "Marble Madness"). She prefers to emphasize when her show of trust causes a breakthrough, such as when Greg Universe helped in "The Message" and even considers someone's willingness to try something – whether or not they are capable of it – as a form of success on their part. However, when Garnet feels betrayed, such as in "Mirror Gem" or "Cry for Help", she can lash out with a temper that is rarely seen. This was an additional source of tension in "Cry for Help" onwards. "Future Vision" turned things on its head, as Garnet found she had betrayed Steven's trust in her, and subsequently felt self-remorse.

   Garnet believes fusion to be sacred and personal. She tells Stevonnie in "Alone Together" that fusion is considered neither one person nor two people, but rather an experience. She was also open enough to answer Steven's personal questions regarding Ruby and Sapphire in "Keeping It Together". As such, any form of misuse of fusion greatly upsets Garnet and is one of the few things that breaks her otherwise calm and controlled demeanor; seeing Homeworld's experiments disturbed and frightened her so immensely that she nearly separated from the shock. Also in "Cry for Help", she was furious at Pearl for misusing their fusion of Sardonyx for her own personal gain, something she would not forgive for a while. Her belief in fusion leads to her extreme reaction to seeing Smoky Quartz for the first time, but it also allows her to aid Steven and Connie, and by extension Stevonnie, work through their negative emotions.

   Garnet has demonstrated that she takes her position as a leader seriously and has a strong moral compass. In "Cry for Help", Garnet is deeply disturbed by Pearl lying to her about Peridot rebuilding the Communication Tower so they can form Sardonyx, and for wasting time in finding Peridot. Although she has a sense of morality and takes the team's ethic seriously, Garnet's silent and stoic nature does sometimes interfere with expressing her thoughts and feelings to her teammates. This has happened multiple times, as seen with Amethyst in "Reformed" with Amethyst racing to satisfy Garnet's demands and with Pearl in "Friend Ship" while Pearl was trying to make amends with Garnet by finding Peridot. Garnet's anger rendered her inarticulate enough that she was unable to tell Pearl that being tricked into repeated fusion without a real purpose left her feeling extremely violated. Garnet tends to be very independent, and she will often go on missions by herself even if others want to join her. She can be oblivious and stubborn, as seen with Pearl's warning in "Coach Steven" and to Steven's explanation of his dream in "Chille Tid". It also shows in "Steven's Dream", Garnet attempts to change subjects as she is afraid of how Steven will react to more information about his mother.

   While Garnet is usually serious and hardworking, she can sometimes act quirky and off-putting. For example, when Steven tells the Crystal Gems about their tired look in "Chille Tid", Garnet says they look "awesome" instead. According to Steven in "Fusion Cuisine", Garnet is blunt during conversations and lacks an empathetic foresight for others, usually hurting their feelings in the process. An example is in "Love Letters" where she rejects Jamie's romantic advance, making him feel very hurt, and curating a letter with Steven and Connie for Jamie that rejects him with the simple straightforward words, "no, the end, forever and even after that."

   This blunt attitude is also expressed non-verbally by Garnet on several occasions. In "Together Breakfast", she confiscates Steven's smartphone without his permission and proceeds to incinerate it after he takes a picture of the Evil Spirit Scroll she was going to burn.

   Steven Universe: The Movie shows Garnet at her most open and fun-loving after three years of peace with the uncorrupted Gems and Off-Colors. When she refuses after being hit by Spinel's Rejuvenator, she shows uncertainty and naivety similar to when she formed the first time. When she regains her memories, she hugs the other Crystal Gems while singing "True Kinda Love".

   Steven Universe Future continues with Garnet being open, blunt, and unafraid to speak her mind, such as stating how weird it is to have the Rose Quartzes around, and humorously scaring the gems of her home safety class by telling them how they were going to die in "A Very Special Episode". "Snow Day" shows her continued openness, playfulness and teasing nature as she and Amethyst play Steven tag while also trying to continue to care for Steven despite how much he's grown.

   History Click here to view the history of Garnet. Click here to view the history of Garnet. Abilities Garnet's debut gauntlets Garnet's debut gauntlets 1/4 Garnet possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, weapon-Summoning, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability.

   Garnet has a high tolerance for pain, as shown in "So Many Birthdays" when she displays no visible reaction, let alone discomfort when Amethyst blindly swings a baseball bat at the side of her head. This is explained and justified since she is a fusion of two Gems. While not outright invincible, it is shown that Garnet is more physically durable than Pearl or Amethyst. It is shown that she endures different levels of damage almost daily, withstanding falling cars, scuffles with Jasper, and various other forms of physical force.

   Fusions When fused with Amethyst, they form Sugilite. When fused with Pearl, they form Sardonyx. When fused with Pearl and Amethyst, they form Alexandrite. When fused with Pearl, Amethyst, and Rose Quartz, they form Obsidian. When fused with Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Sunstone. When fused with Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Obsidian. Skillset E8f5b58b23814e723e64ed0d7652339d Garnet's gauntlet proficiency.

   Gauntlet Proficiency: When channeling the collective power of the universe through her gemstones, Garnet can summon a pair of gauntlets. Garnet is highly proficient when using her gauntlets and is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat. She can deal massive strikes that can deal a heavy amount of damage and deliver swift blows with lightning speed. As of "Bismuth", Garnet's gauntlets have had spiked brass knuckles added onto them.Garnet Rocket Gauntlets Garnet, firing her gauntlets.

   Rocket Gauntlets: Garnet takes aim with her gauntlets and shoots them as projectiles in "Watermelon Steven". In "Reformed", after Garnet launches her gauntlets, her hands are detached from her body, and her gemstones are moved to the stubs of her arms. Weapon Size Augmentation: Garnet can increase the size of her gauntlets, easily quadrupling their size, and deal increased damage at the cost of reduced speed. This was hinted during "Garnet's Universe". Being an imaginary story, that means Steven knew about that power before the real debut in "Warp Tour". Deflection: Garnet can use her gauntlets as shields as seen in "Onion Trade" to deflect a volley of Dave Guys. They are also used in "Catch and Release" to block Peridot's electrokinetic discharge in Amethyst's whip, although it is unknown whether Garnet simply prevented the electric current using her gauntlets or absorbed it with her electrokinesis. Shock Wave Emission: As seen in "Gem Harvest", Garnet can pound her gauntlets into something and create a shock wave strong enough to make something, such as carrots, fly out of the ground. Fusion Realm: In the episode "Mindful Education", Garnet was shown to have helped Stevonnie gain a deeper connection to themself; the way this was done was apparently through a quite easily gained meditative state in which Garnet guided Stevonnie throughout. When Garnet and Stevonnie entered this realm Garnet showed Stevonnie how to keep in touch with themself and how to gain a deeper understanding of both their sides and how to resist falling apart by being honest to themself. Natural Abilities Immense Strength: Garnet needed that Garnet's strength.

   I am their Fury, I am their Patience, I am their Conversation Garnet stopping Jasper mid-air.

   Garnet is the physically strongest Crystal Gem. She is able to easily poof Gems with her physical strength alone, as seen when she poofed Peridot (who has impressive durability). She can jump massive heights, she can easily destroy large structures even without her gauntlets and she is able to lift giant objects with ease. In "Ocean Gem", the ground is destroyed by an airwave simply because she punched hard enough. Immense Durability: Garnet is also extremely durable. In "Giant Woman", she states that she can swim on lava. In "Ocean Gem" and later in "Jailbreak", she withstands being attacked hard enough to through the ground, by Lapis Lazuli and Jasper respectively. She can tank hits from powerful Gems such as Jasper, Bismuth and Topaz. Shapeshifting: Keep Beach City Weird (013) Garnet shapeshifted into Steven.

   Garnet, like most Gems, can shapeshift, she mostly uses her shapeshifting skills to stretch her arms, but she occasionally turns into other things too, as seen in "Keep Beach City Weird" when she shapeshifted into Steven. Photokinesis: In "It Could've Been Great", Garnet can be seen using photokinesis, she can use her gemstone to project a red light, like a flashlight. Bubbling: Garnet is able to bubble objects. Her bubbles are red and are sent to the Burning Room inside the Temple. Gem Storage: Garnet can materialize different items out of her gemstone(s). In "Serious Steven", she summoned the key to the Pyramid Temple and in "Giant Woman" and "Love Letters", she summoned her goggles. Unique Abilities “ No one can see the future. I can see options and trajectories. Time is like a river... that splits into creeks, or pools into lakes, or careens down waterfalls. I have the map, and I steer the ship.

   ” —Garnet explaining her future vision, "Future Vision" Future Vision: Garnet can see multiple future outcomes and probabilities with her third eye. This includes extremely unlikely and ridiculous outcomes, as a considerable amount of her available visions depict Steven's (and possibly other individuals') demise at the hands of mundane tasks or objects regularly. Future vision must be used consciously and takes some time to use, as Garnet has been shown in a thinking position when activating it. During that time, someone can alter the future, as seen in "Marble Madness", when Steven ruined the plan to learn about Peridot by going up to her while Garnet was still using future vision. Garnet must also consciously seek out specific details and judge which possible futures are most probable, which means she can overlook some possibilities, such as Pearl deceiving her in "Cry for Help". Garnet's visor improves her clarity and focuses while using future vision,[1] but she can still use the ability with it off, as demonstrated in "Reunited" when she foresaw the Diamonds' arrival. Garnet's future vision comes from Sapphire, as confirmed in "Keystone Motel", although Sapphire's future vision is different from Garnet's.[2] Due to Sapphire's passive personality, she can only see one future where she does not intervene. Garnet has Ruby's impulsive influence, so she can see multiple futures where she does intervene. Winter Forecast 052 Garnet, kissing Steven on the forehead and transferring her Future Vision powers.

   Temporary Power Transfer: In "Winter Forecast", "Jail Break", and "Future Boy Zoltron" it is shown that she can temporarily pass on her future vision ability to others through lip contact. While Garnet has only been seen using lip-to-forehead contact to transfer her power, it is unknown if this is the only method. As she has only been seen sharing her power with Steven, her affection could say bias on how she chooses to transfer the power. Heat Resistance: Her invulnerability is often displayed in her extreme resistance to heat, from when she had scalding-hot coffee splash onto her without flinching in "Future Vision" to when she left to retrieve the Earth Beetle (which required her to swim in active lava) in "Giant Woman". It has also been said that she could swim in the core of the Sun and survive.[3] This may be because of Ruby's thermo-regulation. Enhanced Calculations: Garnet mentions her ability to sense structural integrity in "Cheeseburger Backpack". It is currently unknown whether this is a unique power, a separate portion of her heightened senses like her future vision, or just a simple observation. The Message 215 Garnet's electrokinesis.

   Electrokinesis: Garnet can generate electricity, as seen in "The Message" when she used it to charge the battery of Greg's van, "Catch and Release" when she was tangling with Peridot, and "Arcade Mania" when she restarted "Meat Beat Mania" after Steven unplugged the game. Garnet has this ability due to the combination of Ruby's pyrokinesis and Sapphire's cryokinesis. Electric Resistance: Garnet is impervious to electricity, as seen in "Future Vision" when she easily deflected a lightning bolt that was about to hit her and Steven with her gemstone. It is seen again in "Catch and Release" when she stopped Peridot's electricity from traveling down Amethyst's whip, only to send her electricity back at her. It was also used in "That Will Be All" when she caught Holly Blue Agate's electric whip in her hands to stop it from hitting Greg and Steven Electric Jump: In "When It Rains", Garnet uses her electrokinesis on the offensive for the second time, generating electricity and releasing it on impact with the ground, where the energy then travels to the target. This particular move is long-ranged. Super Speed: In "Arcade Mania", Garnet karate chops the inner arms of the Gem Cave Creature and shakes Meat Beat Mania's ham controllers at incredible speeds. In "The Message", Garnet quickly places couch cushions around the Wailing Stone. In "Bismuth", Garnet engages Bismuth in combat with an immensely fast approach. She inherited this ability from Sapphire. Clandestine Abilities Levitation: While controlled by White Diamond, Garnet can, indirectly, suspend her body. White Burst: While controlled by White Diamond (probably via the same), Garnet is capable of shooting, through her eyes, a white energy beam equivalent to White Diamond aura, in which it can also control, mentally, the affected Gems. Attack the Light Gauntlet Punch: Garnet does a one-two punch with her gauntlets. Does medium damage and takes 2 Star Points. Shield Breaker: Garnet smashes the ground to create a defense-lowering shield-breaking wave of energy. If you hit the red spot, it does damage. Takes 3 Star Points. Upgrades increase damage and stuns enemies for a longer period of time. Rocket Punch: Garnet aims her gauntlets and fires, dealing high damage and creating an explosion. Upgrades increase the size of the explosion and reduce the Star Point cost to 4. Six-Punch Combo: Garnet punches the enemy multiple times depending on how many timed commands the player successfully does. Takes 6 Star Points. Fuse: Garnet fuses with Pearl and Amethyst to form Alexandrite and smashes the enemies with a fist multiple times for lots of damage. This move lowers attack and defense, takes 9 Star Points, and requires all Gems to have full harmony to use. All the Crystal Gems, except Steven, can activate this. Save the Light Sugilite: Amethyst and Garnet can fuse into Sugilite at any time, but they both need to be in the party. As Sugilite, they can use Mega Quake, and Tornado Fire Punch as attacks. Sardonyx: Garnet and Pearl can fuse into Sardonyx at any time, so they need to be in the comedian show. Unleash the Light Obsidian: Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Steven can fuse into Obsidian at any time. Relationships Steven Universe “ Steven, I know you don't think we trust you. I know more often than not we treat you like a human child. But the truth is, we rely on you. Your voice inspires us, binds us, reminds us why we promised to protect the planet.

   ” —Garnet in "The Return" Keeping It Together 044 Garnet patting Steven on the head.

   Steven respects Garnet as a leader and a responsible motherly figure. In return, Garnet tends to have more faith in Steven's plans and ideas than Amethyst and Pearl. She also protects him from their antics and bickering. She loves Steven deeply, and rarely gets mad at him unless he disobeys an order such as in "Mirror Gem". It is evident that Garnet holds a high amount of trust in Steven and his judgment, listening to his ideas in "Cheeseburger Backpack" and "Marble Madness". This trust is notably displayed in "Future Vision": her future vision informs her of various ways of how Steven could get hurt, but she decides to trust Steven to make the right choices on his own. Regardless, she has grounded him numerous times. She also cares for him deeply, as shown in "So Many Birthdays" when she is visibly distressed when Steven starts aging uncontrollably and in "Bubbled" when she is overjoyed to the point of tears when she, along with Pearl and Amethyst, finds Steven after he was cast out in space in "Back to the Moon".

   Steven Universe Future shows that Garnet still cares for Steven like she always has, but has come to trust and rely on him more, such as in "A Very Special Episode" when she needed him to fuse with her into Sunstone. In "The Future", Garnet is glad Steven is opening a new chapter of his life by moving out, but when he gives her, Amethyst and Pearl a final goodbye, her tears explode and she gives him a hug, admitting that he will always be a part of the family.

   As seen in the Pilot, Garnet called Steven a "Butt face". Some believe this is Garnet showing rudeness to Steven, however, prior, at the temple, when Amethyst and Perl make fun of Steven, calling him a clown, Garnet tells them not to. Later in the episode, Steven uses the "butt face" insult as a rewind point, to attempt to battle the monster again with knowledge gained. He then accidentally rewinds to the "clown" comment, at which point, Garnet once again tells them not to make fun of him with Steven proclaiming that he'll save their lives. This, may in fact, be an example of Garnet using her future vision to help Steven, and not Garnet being rude.

   Ruby & Sapphire “ ♫ Go ahead and try to hit me if you're able. Can't you see that my relationship is stable? I can see you hate the way we intermingle. But I think you're just mad 'cause you're single. ♫ ♫ I am their fury, I am their patience, I am a conversation. ♫ ♫ I am made o-o-o-o-of lo-o-o-o-ove. (of love) ♫

   ” —Garnet, during the song "Stronger Than You", "Jail Break" Ruby and Sapphire fusion 02 Ruby and Sapphire fusing into Garnet.

   Ruby and Sapphire are Garnet's component Gems. It is revealed in "The Answer" that Ruby and Sapphire met 5,750 years ago (and 8 months), and that their first fusion into Garnet was accidental.

   As described by Steven in "Love Letters", Garnet is the embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's relationship, which is again demonstrated in "Reunited" as Steven declares them "Garnet" instead of wives during their wedding. According to the podcast, a good analogy for understanding Garnet is to think of her a bit like Ruby and Sapphire's child, with attributes of both but completely different from both as her person.[4]

   During times of great conflict of opinion, Ruby and Sapphire can talk to each other through Garnet, as seen in "Keeping It Together" and "Keystone Motel", before they start to de-fuse.

   Rupphire kiss and Garnet returns Ruby and Sapphire kissing during their wedding, before fusing back into Garnet.

   It was confirmed by Writer/Storyboard Artist Joe Johnston, via his Tumblr[5] that Garnet being such a strong fusion of Ruby and Sapphire is meant to reinforce the romantic affections they have for one another. The song "Stronger Than You" also reinforces the romantic nature of their relationship; yet they were also greatly influenced by Rose Quartz's view of Garnet, which causes a fallout in the "Heart of the Crystal Gems" arc, said fallout, however, leading to Ruby and Sapphire's marriage so Garnet becomes "[their] decision".

   In "Together Forever" Garnet refers to them as "hopeless romantics" and believes they shouldn't be trusted with relationship advice.

   Amethyst “ Shut down by the G-Squad!

   ” —Amethyst in "Monster Buddies" Marble Madness 041 Garnet hugging both Amethyst and Pearl.

   While Amethyst chafes at being told what to do, she will follow orders from Garnet. Amethyst respects Garnet's leadership abilities and judgment, even referring to her as "the boss". Garnet has also been shown to be much more willing to play along with Amethyst's jokes than Pearl except in serious situations. However, Garnet is not beyond scolding Amethyst when she feels her reckless actions impact the integrity of the team. Amethyst also appears to depend on Garnet's strength, expressing hurt when it looked like Garnet enjoyed fusing with Pearl more than fusing with her.

   Pearl “ There are times when I look up to you for strength. You are your own Gem. You control your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to be strong so we can move forward. So I can trust you again.

   ” —Garnet, "Friend Ship" Friend Ship 270 Garnet and Pearl, after unfusing.

   Like Amethyst and Steven, Pearl respects Garnet's leadership abilities. While she is occasionally patronizing and condescending to the other Gems, Pearl treats Garnet as an equal. In "Cry for Help", however, her relationship with Pearl sours after it is revealed that Garnet was duped into forming Sardonyx multiple times without finding Peridot. Following the events in "Keystone Motel", after Ruby and Sapphire makeup, she finally speaks to Pearl again, even if only to wave her off, meaning Ruby still hesitates to forgive Pearl. In "Friend Ship", Garnet talked to Pearl, saying that she looks to her and wants her to be strong; this eventually led to Pearl's full redemption with Garnet. It was revealed in "The Answer" that Garnet had found her to be 'terrifying'. In fact, in their second encounter, Garnet had begun to beg Pearl (as well as Rose Quartz) for mercy, after being pinned down by Pearl's sword. Pearl had shown surprise upon seeing her for the first time, especially after the reaction of all of the Homeworld Gems. However, it was then revealed that Pearl (along with Rose) had accepted Garnet for who she was, understanding that she was a fusion of love. It is evident that after Garnet had joined the Crystal Gems, her relationship with Pearl had improved. In "Back to the Moon", Garnet and Pearl are seen easily fusing into Sardonyx, suggesting their relationship has been completely repaired. This is seen again in "Know Your Fusion", when Garnet and Pearl fuse into Sardonyx and remain in that form for a substantial amount of time, only unfusing when they realize they have stolen Smoky Quartz's chance to impress them.

   Peridot “ Log Date 7 14 2. I have attempted fusion with the fusion Garnet. I had hoped to gain a better understanding of fusion; instead, I gained a better understanding of Garnet.

   ” —Peridot, "Log Date 7 15 2" Log Date 7 15 2 255 Peridot trying to fuse with Garnet.

   Garnet was initially wary of Peridot's appearance in "Warp Tour", identifying her as a Homeworld Gem. Since Peridot's return to Earth and subsequent stranding on the said planet in "Jail Break", Garnet viewed Peridot as a hostile enemy and sought to capture her, always attacking her on sight with extreme hostility and disdain, succeeding in "Catch and Release", violently squeezing Peridot to poof her. As revealed in "Keeping It Together", Garnet suspected Peridot had ill intentions toward the Earth, specifically regarding the reactivation of the Kindergarten. After "Catch and Release", Garnet is willing to tolerate Peridot living in Steven's Bathroom due to her having critical information regarding the Cluster, though she finds her irritating. In "Too Far", Garnet reacted to Peridot's request for her to unfuse by humorously leashing her to a fence, denying her free-roam of the barn. She also did not trust Peridot to wander off alone, instructing that she must have a chaperone at all times. In "Message Received", Garnet officially accepted Peridot as a Crystal Gem, though she jokingly made it out like it was a forced-upon position. In "Log Date 7 15 2", Garnet has shown some sympathy towards Peridot's situation on Earth, likely as she also found Earth to be a very confusing place. She also respects that Peridot attempted to fuse as a way of understanding why Garnet remains a fusion.

   Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond “ She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw your fusion.

   ” —Pearl to Sapphire in "Now We're Only Falling Apart" The Answer 242 Rose settling down Garnet.

   Garnet was a major catalyst in defining Rose Quartz's goal in making Earth a haven for gems to discover themselves and be free. As shown in "The Answer", Rose is one of the first Gems to accept and understand who Garnet really is—a fusion between two Gems who love each other—and it is primarily for this reason that Garnet holds Rose in high regard. This respect runs so deep that, when Peridot insulted Rose and blamed her for the Cluster's creation in "It Could've Been Great", Garnet was provoked into visibly threatening to harm Peridot.

   This relationship is further detailed in "Now We're Only Falling Apart" and "The Question". At first, Rose Quartz's primary goal was to repel every Gem off the Earth, but her goal was redefined when she and Pearl saw Garnet forming for the first time. Furthermore, their first contact as pictured in "The Answer" seems to have defined Garnet's behavior for the next millennia up until the present time, staying fused without ever questioning why. This falls apart during the "Heart of the Crystal Gems" arc, where Ruby and Sapphire realize that they had not formed Garnet out of their whole free will all this time and that both Gems were greatly influenced by the admiration they felt towards Rose in doing so.

   Greg Universe “ Let me tell you something, Mr. Universe. I think you can do it, but it won't work if you dance like Pearl. You have to dance like you. You have to fuse your way. Get open, get honest, invent yourselves together. That's fusion.

   ” —Garnet in "We Need to Talk" The Message 258 Garnet shaking Greg's hand in gratitude.

   When she first met Greg, she treated him as an intruder in the temple and intended to evict him by force, intimidating him however she could. While not being openly opposed to or in favor of Greg, she does say that Steven should be in contact with him.

   "The Message" reveals that she is the Crystal Gem who has the most faith in Greg, telling him not to feel bad that he failed to decode the message as well as convincing Pearl to give him a second chance at it. In "We Need to Talk", she also seems to think favorably of him as she supported his and Rose's relationship, revealing that she thought highly of him back then.

   We Need To Talk (189) Garnet explaining to a young Greg what fusion is.

   She even goes so far as to give him some advice on how to have a closer connection with Rose and encouraged him not to give up on trying to learn how to fuse with her. The end of the episode reveals that she knew (with her future vision) that Greg would not have been able to fuse with Rose, but by confronting her about it, he would force her to talk about their relationship and the two would come out of the argument closer to each other.

   Garnet also casually revealed to Greg that she has three eyes as she lowered her shades to wink at him. Also, Greg knew that Garnet was a fusion in "Keystone Motel", meaning that Garnet showed him Ruby and Sapphire at some point, something not even Steven knew about until "Jail Break".

   In "Steven's Dream", after Greg was captured by Blue Diamond, Garnet tells Steven that "We're going to space. We're going to get him back," which suggests that she cares about Greg.

   Jamie “ You make a very convincing lovesick fool. You convinced these children, you even convinced yourself. You're a fantastic actor.

   ” —Garnet in "Love Letters" Love Letters (249) Garnet discussing the topic of love with Jamie.

   Jamie's first encounter with Garnet left him infatuated with her; Garnet did not return the sentiment, already being a relationship in and of herself. After bluntly turning him down and breaking his heart, she calmly explained to him that he had confused his feelings for those of true love. Seeing his potential as a great stage actor, she then encouraged him to take up work at a local theater.

   Hand Cluster “ They were forced together... They were forced to fuse! This is wrong!

   ” —Garnet in "Keeping It Together" Keeping It Together 196 Garnet crying over the appearance of her former comrades.

   Garnet is deeply disturbed by the Hand Cluster, and the sight of it unsettles her to the point that she almost unfuses. At the same time, she is sympathetic to it, and instead, she directs her fury against Homeworld, which she believes did this to them as a cruel punishment for the Rebellion.

   She mentions details of their previous lives such as the fact that they were buried together after having gone missing after the war, stating that the Crystal Gems had searched for them but could not find them.

   Jasper “ ♫ If you break us apart we'll just come back newer, and we'll always be twice the Gem that you are! ♫

   ” —Garnet, "Jail Break" Jasper looks down on Garnet for being a fusion, which she considers a cheap tactic used to make weak Gems stronger. Garnet, however, thinks nothing of Jasper's provocation and proceeds to fight her "one on two".

   After Garnet emerges victorious, Jasper fuses with Lapis Lazuli to form Malachite and is subsequently trapped at the bottom of the ocean. Up until the events of "Super Watermelon Island", Garnet regularly searched for Malachite within the Earth's oceans. After learning of Malachite's location at Mask Island, Garnet fused with Amethyst and Pearl to form Alexandrite to combat the rogue fusion in a massive battle. Jasper talking through Malachite reveals that she no longer considers fusion a cheap trick, but now sees it as a viable combat tactic. With the help of Steven, who had entered the mind of a Watermelon Steven and rallied the rest to defend themselves, Alexandrite managed to defeat Malachite, and upon the rogue fusion poofing, catches Jasper as well as Lapis Lazuli in mid-air. The Crystal Gems save Lapis Lazuli, but Jasper is last seen falling into a fissure caused by the massive earthquakes from The Cluster attempting to emerge.

   Bismuth “ Garnet, remember when you and I took on a battalion of Quartz soldiers? We walked out with our stones shining brighter than when we walked in.

   ” —Bismuth, "Bismuth" Bismuth 247 Garnet and Bismuth while training.

   Garnet is shown to be openly friendly towards Bismuth, having been close comrades during the Rebellion. Upon being reunited for the first time since the war, the two are shown joking and laughing together. At the Gem Battlefield, Garnet comforts Bismuth when the latter learns of the results of the war. They also reminisce about a battle they had fought together in. Garnet, along with the other Crystal Gems, feel sadness when they learn the truth about what happened to Bismuth before placing her bubbled gem in the burning room. Following the revelation that Rose had secretly been Pink Diamond and Garnet's unfusing due to shock, Ruby and Sapphire eventually refused at their wedding for which Bismuth served as maid of honor upon being unbubbled by Steven. Garnet and Bismuth are shown to be on friendly terms once again, the former even using the weapons enhancements the latter made for her, which Garnet had stopped using previously while Bismuth was still bubbled.

   Lapis Lazuli Along with the other Crystal Gems, Garnet's first reaction to seeing Lapis was to draw her weapons, as she was a gem aligned with Homeworld. This caused their relationship to start badly, Lapis seeing the Crystal Gems as the enemy. During and after the events of "Jail Break", Garnet seems to hold no hostility towards Lapis, the only thing stopping them from freeing her being that the ship is soon collapsing. This is further expanded in "Gem Drill" when Garnet and the other Crystal Gems recover Lapis after defeating Malachite and bring her to the barn so she could recuperate. While their current views of each other are unclear, Ruby has shown an effort to be friendly with Lapis in "Hit the Diamond" by offering a high-five, to which the latter accepts.

   Blue Diamond “ Garnet? Does that call herself a Garnet?

   ” —Blue Diamond, "Together Alone" Before they were fused, Ruby and Sapphire were both parts of Blue Diamond's court but fled due to fusing into Garnet. When Blue Diamond arrives on Earth in "Reunited", she recognizes Garnet as the fusion of the two Gems who disrupted her court. In "Legs From Here to Homeworld", although Blue is not hostile towards Garnet or any of the Gems once Steven's identity is confirmed, Garnet still harbors some hatred towards her (likely stemming from Ruby), only calming down when Bismuth consoles her. It seems they're on good terms in "Change Your Mind" and "I Am My Monster" as shown in "I Am My Monster" Garnet ordered Blue Diamond to lift everyone up to get to Monster Steven.

   Keys: Amethyst. · Secondary: Main character.

   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.

   Nickname(s) (Overcooked) Runt (Jasper) Deep Cut (Bismuth) Purple girl (Ronaldo) 8XM (The "Famethyst") Big A (Peridot) Ame's (Peridot) Alias Purple Puma Amy ("Hit The Diamond")

   Characteristics Species Gem Weapon(s) Whip Sex Sexless Gender Pronoun She/Her Age Around 5,000 years[1] Traits Hair Pale lavender Eyes Dark indigo Gemstone Amethyst Gem Type Quartz Professional Status Occupation(s) Guardian Teacher Champion wrestler (formerly and secretly as Purple Puma) Alignment Crystal Gems Personal Status Status Active Friend(s) Crystal Gems Greg Universe Lion Vidalia Pumpkin The "Famethyst" Pebbles Media First Appearance Pilot (non-canon) "Gem Glow" (main series) Music Theme "Amethyst's Theme"

   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 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 tank 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.

   Other 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.

   Personality “ Amethyst is really... out of control. She likes to eat, she likes to sleep. She doesn't have to, but she does it 'cause it's fun.

   ” —Rebecca Sugar Gem Glow (138,5) Amethyst, summoning her weapon while eating.

   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's First Form 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.

   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.

   Steven vs. Amethyst 281 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.

   Guidance 226 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.

   Flail/Whip Proficiency: Amethyst is very skilled with her whip, which mixes very well with her immense physical prowess. She can throw her whip to entangle or bind her target from afar. Offensively, Amethyst uses her whip to lash at opponents and cause damage that is strong enough to easily split a dumpster in half. Occasionally, she uses her whip to grab onto objects or lift them and throw them at the enemy. It is implied by Bismuth that her whip is unusual among Quartzes. As of "Bismuth", Amethyst's whip has been upgraded to a morning star-inspired flail. Slicing: Amethyst's lashes are precise enough to cut through solid materials, such as metal, in a clean line. In "Too Far", her whip cleanly sliced through an Injector. Whiplash: Amethyst can send waves of violet energy along with her whip or whips, creating an immense explosion.

Her fighting style can sometimes be considered reckless and foolhardy, knocking her and the other Crystal Gems down after she used her whip to pull the Centipeetle mother towards her in "Monster Buddies".

   Steven vs. Amethyst 251 Amethyst destroying a large part of the Ruins.

   Amethyst, being a Quartz soldier, has amazing physical strength, she is capable of jumping immense heights and can easily lift giant objects using her whip. In "Crack the Whip", she was able to poof Biggs Jasper by twisting her with her whip and strength. In "Steven vs. Amethyst", Amethyst destroyed a large portion of the ground as she pulled Steven. Enhanced Durability: Amethyst has also a great durability, in "Laser Light Cannon", Amethyst readily volunteered to get thrown at the Red Eye by Garnet in order to punch or body slam into it as an attempt to destroy it, persevering long after it was already proved to be a futile act. In "Crack the Whip", she was able to withstand a beating from Jasper, poofing only when Jasper attacked with her helmet. Shapeshifting: While most Gems are capable of shapeshifting, Amethyst is particularly skilled at it, specializing in transformations. She may use this skill to enhance her unarmed fighting or take on more bizarre forms depending on the task at hand. Some of her forms include several random to lethal animals, a fully-functional helicopter to transport others, her wrestling alter-ego, the Purple Puma, etc. However, Amethyst cannot shapeshift when she is under a lot of pressure, as revealed in "Secret Team".[2] There is also a limit on the amount of time she can stay shifted before having to revert.

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

   ” —Steven and Amethyst before fusing for the first time in "Earthlings" On the Run 057 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.

   Earthlings 115 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" Reformed 126 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?" The Question (171) 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?" What's Your Problem (60) 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".

   Back to the Barn Number (214) 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.

   Log Date 7 15 2 216 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" Maximum Capacity 178 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" Alone Together 085 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" Back to the Moon 253 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" Onion Friend (074) 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.

   Lion “ That's so sweet! I-I love you too.

   ” —"Steven's Lion" Ocean Gem 204 Amethyst, hugging Lion.

   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" Too Far 053 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.

   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.

   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.

   Lapis Lazuli “ Yeah, because when I think fun, I think Lapis.

   ” —"Beta" 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 her and the rest 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 likely on good terms.

   Bismuth

   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.

   Ruby Squad “ This is fun.

   ” —"Back to the Moon" Back to the Moon 140 Amethyst (as Jasper) commanding the Rubies.

   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"

   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.[4]

   Keys: Pearl. · Secondary: Main character.

   Pearl is a member of the Crystal Gems. She was Pink Diamond's second Pearl, and one of Rose Quartz's closest followers and her sole confidant. Pearl is one of the last surviving Gems on Earth who joined the Crystal Gems in their rebellion against the Gem Homeworld. Pearl would afterward protect the Earth over the next several millennia alongside her friends, while later teaching Steven the ways of Gems. Years later, Pearl is no longer suffering from issues of self-worth and finds her way, knowing she is herself. Though she is struck and has her memories wiped by Spinel's rejuvenator, she gets her memories back by having Greg and Steven fuse into Steg, who reminds her of her independence. Pearl now teaches at Little Homeschool, teaching Gems how to interact with human beings. While she previously seemed to find interaction with humans uncomfortable, Pearl now actively partakes in it and encourages other Gems to do the same.

   Pearl has a slender build, an ivory complexion, light cyan eyes, a pointed nose, and thin lips. She is quite a tall Gem, towering over Amethyst, Ruby, Sapphire, Peridot, and Steven alike. She is nearly equal in height (with hair) to Garnet's chin. Her hair is a light peach color (though on some occasions, it is light pink) and resembles a pixie-cut in the front, while in the back, her hair leads to a point. Like most Gems, Pearl is usually drawn without eyelashes or pupils, although they have been seen in some close-ups. Pearl's gemstone is located in the middle of her forehead and has no facets.

   First Form In "A Single Pale Rose" and "Now We're Only Falling Apart", which flashback to the time she served Pink Diamond, Pearl wears a dress resembling Pink Diamond's. The top half has puffy teal blue sleeves, an amber-colored top with a V neck, a diamond-shaped cutout at the bottom, and a light yellow trim along the bottom. The bottom half has a pink skirt with transparent drapes over it and pale blue ballet flats. Her hairstyle is a mix between its style during the Rebellion and its style in the 80' s. This form also appears when Pearl regenerates in Steven Universe: The Movie.

   1980s-90s Regeneration In "Story for Steven", "We Need to Talk", "Greg the Babysitter", and "A Single Pale Rose", which all flashback to around the 1980s, along with Lapis Lazuli's flashback in "Same Old World" Pearl wore a transparent yellow shawl with a draped sleeveless and shoulder less heart-shaped aqua top, short lavender leggings, salmon pink leg warmers, and pale blue ballet flats. Her hair was also a little longer, somewhat resembling a bob.

   Pre-Regeneration (Debut) From "Gem Glow" to "Steven the Sword Fighter", Pearl wore a sleeveless,dull cyan-blue top that had a yellow star, and a translucent bust and transferred into a transparent ruffled yellowish-green mini-skirt . She also wore short salmon pink leggings, light green socks, and pale blue slip-on ballet flats to match. This form was also seen in the flashback of "Three Gems and a Baby".

   Post-Regeneration (Previous) From "Steven the Sword Fighter" to "Together Alone", Pearl wore a halter dull teal tunic with a yellow star on the center of her chest and a cyan satin sash ribbon around her upper waist. Her leggings were amber-colored. She also wore pink socks, and her slip-on ballet flats were colored a slightly lighter blue than before.

   Current Regeneration After regenerating in "Change Your Mind", Pearl now wears a poofy, cropped, short-sleeved light turquoise blazer with a pink inner lining and a yellow star on the back over a strapless teal top, cadet blue leggings (appearing as capri jeans), and light pink slip-on ballet flats.

   Other In "The Answer", "Your Mother and Mine", and "Now We're Only Falling Apart", which flashback to the Rebellion, Pearl wears a translucent top (with the top-half pink and the bottom-half teal), short pink leggings, and orange boots. Her hair resembles what it looks like currently, except longer.

   Personality “ Pearl is like a Samurai. She is, like, incredibly precise.

   ” —Rebecca Sugar Pearl is a perfectionist who is knowledgeable on a plethora of topics that value organization. Pearl has a penchant for symmetry (going so far as to impale M.C. Bear Bear to maintain the symmetry of a pile of appliances and school supplies) and very high attention to detail.

   Despite her perfectionism and occasional bragging, Pearl suffers from low self-esteem. In "Friend Ship", she admits she is very dependent on others to validate her, which loops into a strong inferiority complex. According to Amethyst in "Reformed", she needs everyone's constant approval to feel secure. Without anyone to tell her what to do or to depend on her, Pearl feels lost without meaning or value. Pearl admits she often feels extremely weak and/or useless when compared to others who appear better than her, going so far as to describe herself as ineffective on her own; always in need of a leader she can follow, thinking she has very little power to affect others, partly because her low self-esteem leads her to believe she lacks the relevance to be influential. Her self-deprecating tendencies stem from the Homeworld caste values, where Pearls are viewed as property rather than Gems. This has led her to take drastic actions to prove herself — though, thanks to Garnet's encouragement in "Friend Ship", she has started to take initiatives instead of letting other's words define Pearl herself. It appears Pearl has taken this to her heart, as she asserted herself against Peridot when she treated Pearl in a degrading tone. Pearl even goes as far as physically punching Peridot to show that she is an individual, not a piece of property. In the past, her low self-esteem is explained in detail by Garnet that she was willing to risk her life to protect Rose to prove her worth, which goes as far as nearly making Connie into an exact low-esteem replica of her during sword training if not for Steven's intervention.

   Pearl is easily flustered and overwhelmed when confronted by the unknown or when her plans fail, which can lead to her judgment being clouded or cause her to act on impulse instead of rational thinking. Her inner turmoil over her love for Rose (and her subsequent absence) has made Pearl lash out at Steven and the Crystal Gems more than once. At times, Pearl does not realize when she is being selfish because she thinks she is always doing everything for others. Her fierce desire to feel "strong" and have more victories as a Crystal Gem even caused her to betray Garnet's trust and basic principles so they could keep forming Sardonyx. When realizing how much she hurt others, Pearl will apologize and try as hard as she can to set things right, working hard to counteract the damage she may have inflicted.

   Out of all the Crystal Gems, Pearl is the most poorly adjusted to life on Earth, being unaware of human social conventions and culture, such as jokes, games, arcades, food, and birthday parties. Pearl has expressed a great desire to leave Earth in "Space Race", going so far as to risk her and Steven's lives. Pearl also has a pessimistic view of humanity, as evidenced by her statement in "Keep Beach City Weird". Though, in "Political Power", she claimed to have been around during the millennium when humans lived without any light and were aware that they used to hunt and gather. She appeared quite surprised that they did not do that anymore. In "Last One Out of Beach City", Pearl takes her turn at trying to build a normal, human social life in the hopes of impressing Steven and Amethyst, voluntarily joining them in going to a show, and drinking beverages. By the end, Pearl even approached Mystery Girl that had appeared repeatedly throughout the episode, whom Pearl seemed infatuated with.

   “ Humans just live short, boring, insignificant lives, so they make up stories to feel like they're a part of something bigger. They want to blame all the world's problems on some single enemy they can fight, instead of a complex network of interrelated forces beyond anyone's control.

   ” —"Keep Beach City Weird" Despite her poor image of humanity, Pearl has come to show admiration for them as demonstrated in "Three Gems and a Baby" where she admires and envies the ability of humans to adapt to changes, something that she comments that It is not normal for her or other gems, this is also demonstrated with Connie, being moved by her conviction to the point of tears in "Sworn to the Sword" and whom she considers an "Excellent Student" to the point of letting her help on missions. related to gems and even give him a vote of confidence in "Gem Hunt" and agree to separate from her and Steven to occupy more ground during the mission.

   “ Everything should grow, and everything should change, and isn't it so great how it comes so naturally to humans? Well, it's not natural for us! It's not natural... for me.

   ” —"Three Gems and a Baby" Although her pessimistic perspective of humans, Pearl is extremely dedicated to her cause in protecting humanity more or less out of her love, loyalty, and admiration for Rose Quartz. She does, however, find certain aspects of Earth rather amazing. Regardless of her poor understanding of human society, she can pay for the Cookie Cats Amethyst and Garnet steal in "Gem Glow", drive Greg's van in "Ocean Gem" and repair it in "House Guest". She also watches the New Year's Eve fireworks show in "Maximum Capacity".

   In "Back to the Barn", it is revealed that pearls are not created for fighting, but for following orders. However, Pearl trained to fight with Rose. Peridot also describes pearls as accessories that are meant to be put on display as status symbols and to perform menial tasks, although Pearl's appearance fits this standard.

   Aside from her pessimism and perfectionism, Pearl is usually polite and reserved to others; she keeps everything set orderly and tidy. Her obsessive attention to tidiness is explained in "Back to the Barn" when it is revealed that pearls are made-to-order servants and are created to "hold stuff" for their masters.

   Her body language tends to accentuate her movements like a ballerina, using the tip of her feet. Pearl tends to keep her legs straight, though she often crosses her feet. Her fighting style also displays several leaps and pirouettes, all further emphasized by her ballerina-like outfit.

   Steven Universe: The Movie shows Pearl more laid back and confident, as when Greg says she's the boss she agrees, showing that she's accepted she's her Gem. When reformed after being hit by the rejuvenator she returns to being servile to Greg, whom she imprints on.

   "Volleyball" shows how far Pearl has come. Having overcome most of her problems and almost moved completely past her relationship with Rose/Pink, Pearl shows a strong and confident attitude with a dry sarcastic sense of humor, remarking snidely how Pink Pearl still had an infatuation with Pink Diamond and scoffing at the items for Pearls in The Reef. "Snow Day" shows how far she's moved past her trauma over Rose/Pink when she shapeshifts into 14-year-old Steven for Steven Tag. "The Finale" even shows her taking a bite out of Steven's homemade cookie cat.

   History Click here to view the history of Pearl. Click here to view the history of Pearl. Abilities “ I am a Gem of many talents. A dedication to fact is just one of them.

   ” —"Historical Friction" Pearl's upgraded trident Pearl's upgraded trident 1/2 Pearl possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, weapon-Summoning, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability.

   Throughout the series, Pearl has been shown to know multiple aspects of technology, from fixing Greg's van, making a semi-functioning spacecraft out of leftover machine parts, creating a functional robot to battle Peridot, to fixing Peridot's escape pod and even reverse-engineering it to track Peridot's Warp Pad movements. In "Back to the Barn", it is implied that Pearl's engineering skills are mostly self-taught much to Peridot's astonishment. Her engineering and constructing abilities rival Peridot's considering the tie between them in the robots challenge. Despite this talent, she cannot craft or upgrade weaponry and has to rely on Bismuth for that task. Furthermore, due to Pearl's lack of update in terms of current Gem technology for thousands of years, she is unfamiliar with some current Gem technology like the operating system in the Roaming Eye in which she needs Peridot to check the system for her and the Crystal Gems.

   While Pearl is lithe and quite graceful, she has a surprising resilience to injury. In "Coach Steven", she took a headbutt from Sugilite and could still move, given Steven's encouragement. In "On the Run", she took an explosion from Amethyst's whip directly and recovered almost immediately after being briefly immobilized and scratched.

   In "Historical Friction", she mentions that one of her talents is a dedication to the fact. She has shown this skill in the past while displaying examples using her holograms. Her immortality and attention to detail have allowed her to recall historical events as they truly happened, such as the beginning of the Crystal Gems' rebellion and the founding of Beach City.

   Fusions When fused with Amethyst, they form Opal. When fused with Rose Quartz, they form Rainbow Quartz. When fused with Ruby and Sapphire, they form Sardonyx. When fused with Ruby, Sapphire, and Amethyst, they form Alexandrite. When fused with Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Rose Quartz, they form Obsidian. When fused with Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Rainbow Quartz 2.0. When fused with Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Obsidian. When fused with Pink Pearl, they form Mega Pearl. Skillset Spear Proficiency: Through her many years of training, Pearl can summon her weapon, a pearlescent spear. Pearl is very skilled in the art of spear-wielding and goes in tandem with her pattern of fighting that involves formal (Ballet) dancing. She moves gracefully and swiftly, attacking with grace and poise. She stays calm and collected during melee battles, duels, and skirmishes. Pearl also has great skill in throwing her spear. This was proven in "Giant Woman", and "Beach Party". As of "Bismuth", Pearl's spear has been upgraded to be able to turn into a trident. Dual Wielding: Pearl vs. Bismuth Pearl, firing an energy projectile.

   Pearl is capable of wielding dual spears in battle, implying she is ambidextrous. Energy Projection: Pearl can fire arrow-like blasts of energy from the tip of her spear. This can be done as rapid-fire or charged to unleash a more powerful blast. In Attack the Light, this ability is named "Fireball". It is implied in "Bismuth" that this ability may have been developed sometime after the title character was bubbled by Rose. Swordsmanship: PearlSwordSummon Pearl summoning her swords.

   Pearl possesses expert knowledge and skill with a sword. For one on one dueling, Pearl's preferred weapon is a straight-bladed saber. Pearl's parries are tight and minimalist; her offense is a pattern that is specific to the environment. This pattern consists of lunges, thrusts, and horizontal slashes. Engineering: On multiple occasions, Pearl has demonstrated a high level of skill in mechanical engineering, ranging from reverse-engineering Flask Robonoids to constructing a combat-ready robot on short notice. She also constructed a rocket in an attempt to leave Earth, proving herself able to compete with an "expert" mechanic such as Peridot. Gem-tech Interfacing: While not to the extent of Peridot, she is first shown in "Jail Break" and later shown in "Friend Ship", to be able to interface and control Gem technology such as the Gem Warship and, to a greater extent, Peridot's escape pod. When she interfaces with Gem-tech, her eyes become overlapped with what looks like a programming code. Piloting: Pearl can fly Homeworld ships just like Peridot, "Doc", and "Navy". For example, Pearl piloted a Gem Warship in "Jail Break", a Roaming Eye in "Bubbled", and Pink Diamond's ship in "Legs From Here to Homeworld". Driving: Pearl is the first known Gem, before Steven, to be able to drive a car, as she has driven Greg's Van before. In "Last One Out of Beach City", she is shown to be an extremely skilled racer. Mentoring: According to Steven Universe: Too Cool for School comic, Pearl homeschools Steven effective enough to make him score a perfect mark in human conventional school. This is also shown in how effectively she has trained both Steven and Connie to fight. Natural Abilities Enhanced Strength: Pafight Pearl kicking Amethyst.

   Pearl, like all Gems, is superhumanly strong, she is able to easily lift humans with one hand and can also jump massive heights. In "Coach Steven", she is able to kick a large stone away. In "On the Run", her kicks were strong enough to send Amethyst flying. In "Hit the Diamond", a ball thrown by her broke Ruby's bat. In "Three Gems and a Baby", Greg revealed Pearl threw a jungle gym at a babysitter. Enhanced Durability: WriP0a Pearl's durability.

   Pearl is also decently durable. She was able to endure multiple hits from Sugilite, and she can survive falling from great heights. In "On the Run", she was able to withstand Amethyst's violet fire explosion. In "The Return", Pearl and Amethyst were able to survive a blast from Peridot's ship without damage. Shapeshifting: Pearl, like most Gems, can shapeshift, she mostly uses her shapeshifting skills to change her clothes. In "Beach Party", Pearl shapeshifts a sundress. In "Space Race" and "Back to the Barn", she shapeshifts a space suit. In "Hit the Diamond", she shapeshifts a human disguise. Besides outfit changes, she was only seen shapeshifting into different forms in two occasions, when she shapeshifted into Rose Quartz and Steven. Photokinesis: Pearl can use her gemstone to light up dark places. She uses this in "The Test", "Keeping It Together" and "It Could've Been Great". Bubbling: Pearl is able to bubble objects. Her bubbles are mint cream and are sent to the Burning Room inside the Temple. Unique Abilities Holographic Projection: Cheeseburger Backpack Pearl 01 Pearl using her Holographic Projection to teach Steven about the Lunar Sea Spire.

   Pearl can project holographic images from her gemstone, which she uses mainly as a visual aid when lecturing Steven. While most of the holograms seem to be intangible, some, like Holo-Pearl, can interact with solid matter. Furthermore, the holograms can function without Pearl's presence for up to two weeks, still implying that her holograms can live independently. In "Chille Tid", it is shown Pearl's dreams are projected as holograms as she sleeps. Self-Duplication: Pearl Self-Replication Pearl self-replicating while playing volleyball.

   Aside from Holo-Pearls, which is projected through her gemstone, Pearl also replicates herself several times into hologram-Esque clones of herself, as seen in "Beach Party". Psammokinesis: Fusion Dance Pearl's psammokinesis.

   Pearl is shown manipulating a small amount of sand to create figurines in "Giant Woman". It is currently unknown how much sand she can control at one time. This ability has only been shown once so far. Nephelokinesis: Sworn to the Sword 170 Pearl summoning mist.

   In "Sworn to the Sword", Pearl can channel clouds in the mist, reducing visibility and able to dissipate quite a direction of her choice, being able to gather clouds surrounding the arena her to create a finicky. However, it is not known if she can do this in other locations. Additionally, in "Mr. Greg", Pearl forms overhead clouds into depictions of herself, Rose, and Greg during the song "It's Over Isn't It", though this may have been for dramatic effect and not her manipulating the clouds. Interdimensional Storage: Pearl can store objects inside a dimension in her gemstone, including other gems and humans. This ability was shown in "Lars and the Cool Kids," "Mirror Gem," "Sworn to the Sword," and "Familiar," but it was most notably used in "A Single Pale Rose," where Pearl had Steven go inside her gem to retrieve her cell phone. Clandestine Abilities Levitation: While controlled by White Diamond, Pearl could, indirectly, suspend her body. White Burst: While controlled by White Diamond, Pearl was capable of shooting a white energy beam equivalent to White Diamond's aura through her eyes, which can also mentally control the affected gems. Additional Tools Swords: Pearl possesses a vast collection of swords consisting of cutlasses, Persian Talwars, and sabers which she stores within the central fountain in her room. Pearl's preferred sword when teaching sword fighting lessons is a standard adult training saber, as seen when training Connie and Steven. Battleaxe (mentioned only): In "Onion Trade", Pearl demands Amethyst to reveal the location of her battleaxe. Replicator Wand (formerly): Pearl has a wand capable of creating identical copies of any physical object. However, Garnet destroys it in "Onion Trade" because she did not want to individually destroy the thousands of cars, "Dave Guy"s, and other objects that Onion replicated. Attack the Light Quick Strike: Pearl jumps to an enemy and slashes with her spear, then following up with a stab if the player times a tap.

Costs 7 Star Points. Save the Light Normal Attacks

This attack was buffed from Attack the Light, now costing 3 Star Points instead of 4! Fireball: Aim up to three high-damage fireballs at multiple enemies.

   ” —"Gem Glow" Rose's Scabbard 192 Steven comforting Pearl.

   Pearl acts as a kind but overprotective mother figure towards Steven. She loves teaching Steven about Gem history and culture, as well as teaching him other things such as the art of sword-fighting.

   As opposed to Garnet's more pragmatic and Amethyst's more fun-loving personalities, Pearl acts as a mentor. She always tries to speak gently to him and is usually the first to show concern when taking him on a dangerous mission. However, in "Space Race", she allows her interest in returning to space to cloud her better judgment despite trying to attain her original goal of showing Steven the cosmos.

   Pearl also tends to patronize Steven and frequently underestimates his abilities, expressing maternal feelings towards him and treating him like a fragile child rather than a fellow Crystal Gem, although over time she does respect the fact he is growing up. She is surprised to find that Steven is able to summon his shield in "Gem Glow", return to normal after transforming his fingers into cats in "Cat Fingers", think of strategies to escape the obstacles that they encounter in "Cheeseburger Backpack", as well as the Pyramid Temple in "Serious Steven". Pearl occasionally ignores Steven, such as when he brings up the idea of everyone eating breakfast together in "Together Breakfast". She also does not feel that Steven is prepared to learn about the dark side of Gem history, when she tells Amethyst that Steven "isn't ready" to learn about the harsher reputation of Gems in "On the Run". In "Sworn to the Sword", it is shown Pearl's maternal feelings towards Steven stems from her love and admiration for Rose Quartz, and she views Steven as a crucial asset to the Crystal Gems.

   Despite recent events and her guilt, she is shown to support Steven and his endeavors in "Historical Friction". She compliments him on his wisdom when he describes the flaw in Mayor Dewey's portrayal of William Dewey in his play. She helps rewrite the play to be more accurate and is the only Gem to watch it, being ecstatic to see Steven onstage.

   Pearl's maternal feelings for Steven are notably shown in "I Am My Mom", in which she sheds tears of horror when Steven decides to leave Earth with Aquamarine, and in "Lars' Head", in which she tears up in joy upon realizing Steven's return home from space.

   Over time, Pearl gradually comes to have more faith in Steven, recognizing his development in both his physical abilities and maturity. In "Gem Hunt" and "Kindergarten Kid", she demonstrates she trusts Steven to handle encounters with corrupted Gems while having only limited support. "A Single Pale Rose" shows Pearl's utmost trust in Steven's maturity: she decides that he is ready for her to divulge the truth that Pink Diamond is his mother. In "Reunited", Pearl mentally states that everything she does is for Pink/Rose and Steven.

   "Volleyball" showcases her full faith in Steven when she is fused as Mega Pearl, where she says it's up to him to stop the Reef security system before throwing him through a hole in the doors she made, and "A Very Special Episode" where she needs his help to fuse into Rainbow Quartz to deal with onion though in "Snow Day" she still mothers him slightly when she dresses him in winter clothing and multiple scarves.

   In "The Future", Pearl at first acts like she is fine with Steven leaving but when he comes back to check her, Garnet and Amethyst for the last time, she finally cries hysterically and admits that the ukelele he gives her will be the only instrument she plays. After giving him one last hug, she wistfully watches him drive away into the unknown.

   Garnet “ You are your own Gem. You control your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to be strong, so we can move forward. So I can trust you again.

   ” —Garnet, "Friend Ship" Cry for Help 081 Garnet and Pearl fusing.

   Like the other Gems, Pearl respects and follows Garnet's orders without question. She does, however, believe that the Gems are a team and so may not exactly see Garnet as the leader, most likely because she will always see Rose Quartz as leader despite her absence. When situations are requiring executive decisions, however, Pearl usually defers to Garnet. In "Secret Team", it is clear that she shares an unprecedented fear towards her, along with Amethyst, to such an extent that both she and Amethyst willingly set aside their differences to keep the popped Gem-bubble a secret instead of facing the consequences. She has known about her true identity as a fusion for several thousand years. In "Cry for Help", it is apparent that Pearl looks up to Garnet as she is excited to fuse into Sardonyx to destroy the Communication Hub that Peridot rebuilt. Pearl enjoyed fusing with Garnet so much that she rebuilt the Communication Hub twice so she and Garnet could just fuse into Sardonyx resulting in Garnet's anger and temporary estrangement for the deception. In "Friend Ship", Pearl repaired her relationship with Garnet, making peace with her insecurities in the process. She is shown to idolize Garnet, or rather Ruby and Sapphire's relationship, as in that same episode she claims that they are the perfect relationship, and she wanted to fuse so badly because she craved being a part of a stable relationship.

   Ruby “ I don't feel like forgiving Pearl!

   ” —Ruby talking through Garnet, "Keystone Motel" Gem Heist 163 Ruby commanding Pearl to open the door.

   During "Keystone Motel", Ruby is greatly angered by Pearl's trickery regarding the Communication Hub. In the episode "Hit the Diamond", Pearl seems delighted to see Ruby and Sapphire when they unfuse from Garnet. In "Gem Heist", Ruby commands Pearl to open the door, and Pearl responds by asking what else she's good for. In "Now We're Only Falling Apart", Pearl apologizes to Ruby for the disappearance of Sapphire, meaning that she cares about Ruby's feelings even if she is not fused as Garnet. At the same time, Ruby saved Sapphire from Pearl in "The Answer".

   Sapphire “ Sapphire: Oh, Pearl! How will I ever get her back?! Pearl: I... I don't know! You two are incredible together! It can't be over! It can't be over!

   ” —Sapphire and Pearl, "What's Your Problem?" What's Your Problem (54) Sapphire and Pearl sobbing over Ruby.

   During "Keystone Motel", Sapphire is more willing to forgive Pearl's trickery regarding the Communication Hub. In the episode "Hit the Diamond", Pearl seems delighted to see Ruby and Sapphire when they unfuse from Garnet. In the episodes "Now We're Only Falling Apart" and "What's Your Problem?", Pearl and Sapphire share a lot of individual interaction. In the former, Pearl willingly explains the backstory of Rose to Sapphire, who is furious over the revelation. Sapphire then finds out Rose was following their example, claiming Pearl "swept Rose off her feet." In the latter episode, Pearl attempts to comfort a crying Sapphire but ends up crying with Sapphire herself. In "The Question", Pearl is briefly seen comforting Sapphire before Steven enters the Beach House.

   Amethyst “ I hope you can forgive me...You're the one good thing that came out of this mess, I always thought you were proud of that.

   ” —"On the Run" Pearl and Amethyst hug Amethyst hugging Pearl.

   The two used to share a strained relationship, which was likely due to their contrasting personalities. Pearl is often seen scolding Amethyst, who often teases Pearl in return. However, Pearl and Amethyst can put their differences aside on multiple occasions to work together. For example, in "Secret Team", Pearl and Amethyst are forced to fight together, and complement each other's skills, even sharing appreciative smiles; in "Warp Tour", they praise and admire each other's fighting techniques; in "On the Run", the two reveal that they really do deeply care about each other, despite their differences and frequent fights. In "Story for Steven" they are shown having a much closer relationship before the events of the series, close enough to be perfectly content hugging and resting in each other's arms. It can be assumed that Rose's departure and Steven's birth somehow lead to their relationship deteriorating over time, as Amethyst implies that they used to fuse more often in "Giant Woman". Their relationship seems to have been slowly improving throughout the series. In "Log Date 7 15 2" it is shown that it has improved enough for them to form Opal with little effort. In "Know Your Fusion", Pearl hugs Amethyst and tells her that she is amazed at what Smoky Quartz was able to do with their yo-yo, and lets Amethyst know how good an influence she has been on Steven, while Amethyst blushes. In "Last One Out of Beach City", Pearl is eager to go to the rock concert with Amethyst 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 and is also shown to be concerned that Pearl might get rejected by the mysterious woman. In "Together Alone", Amethyst enthusiastically agrees when Pearl suggests they form Opal to join Garnet in supporting Stevonnie, and they can fuse easily. In Steven Universe: The Movie, when Pearl has lost her memory and Steven's attempts to restore it prove futile, Amethyst shows concern for her and shapeshifts into Rose Quartz as a last-ditch effort. Though this also fails to make Pearl remember, she later fuses with Amethyst to celebrate her newfound independence after Steg's formation finally succeeds in making her recall her identity.

   Connie Maheswaran “ Well, Connie, your sword-fighting skills have far exceeded my expectations. And, with my careful supervision, of course, I'm confident that you can handle a simple gem-recovery mission like this.

   ” —"Gem Hunt" Sworn to the Sword 139 Pearl teaching Connie to sword fight.

   Pearl originally sees Connie as just Steven's friend. When Connie asks her if she can take sword-fighting lessons in "Sworn to the Sword", Pearl initially expresses doubt. However, she is touched to the point of tears by Connie's passion and willingness to defend Steven, and thus mentors her in the art of sword fighting. During early training, Pearl relates Connie to herself and Steven to Rose, and, as such, she begins to instill in Connie a precept that she once followed herself with regards to Rose: to risk her life to protect Steven. However, Pearl soon learns from her mistake, realizing how much Steven and Connie care for each other. Now, Pearl thinks that Connie is an expert on sword fighting and that she and Steven can be great knights together.

   "Gem Hunt" further shows the trusting mentor-student relationship between Pearl and Connie when the latter accompanies Steven on her first Gem mission. Pearl agrees to leave Connie and Steven to their own devices while they are searching for a corrupted Ocean Jasper and keeps in touch with them via Walkie Talkie but rushes to their aid as soon as they run into serious trouble.

   Greg Universe “ Our Greg is clearly the superior one.

   ” —"Gem Harvest" We Need To Talk (149) Young Pearl being condescending towards young Greg.

   She is on speaking terms with Greg and has shown to at least try to be civil towards him, even fixing his van after it is wrecked in "Ocean Gem". In "House Guest" she is anxious about him living with the Crystal Gems, and she is usually the first (and often the only one) of the Crystal Gems to get irritated or even mad at him as shown in "The Message". Because of Pearl's close relationship with Rose Quartz, her negative view of Greg may stem from her blaming him for his part in Rose's "death" in giving birth to Steven, much like she harbors a similar resentment towards Steven as revealed in "Rose's Scabbard".

   In "Reformed", however, the two are seen casually tinkering with his van together and seemingly getting along very well, showing an improvement of their relationship.

   The episode "We Need to Talk" further explores their relationship in the past when Rose was still alive. Pearl is shown to be very jealous of Rose's newfound affection for him and goes to great lengths of trying to challenge him and dissuade him from pursuing a relationship with Rose. This, combined with the fact that she sees Greg partially responsible for Rose's demise, explains why she seems to be uncomfortable, condescending, and resentful towards him in episodes set in the current time.

   In "Chille Tid", Pearl has a dream in which she suggests to Rose that they forget about Greg and explore the galaxy together. Much to her horror, Rose's face turns into Greg's.

   Mr. Greg 252 "Mr. Greg" goes in-depth on their relationship. Pearl expresses her feelings about Greg and Rose's relationship through song while she thinks Greg and Steven are asleep. In this song, Pearl says she feels lost without Rose, and that at first, she was able to stand Greg before Rose fell in love with him. She holds a grudge against him but seems to have given up at a certain point, accepting that Rose had apparently chosen Greg over her. Greg was awake the whole time and after the song is finished, he says that he does not think things can ever be normal between them. Steven reveals he brought Pearl with them to try to repair their relationship and sings "Both of You" to show how much they have in common. Their bond shows great improvement throughout the rest of the episode, and at the end, Steven quotes Pearl's song, singing the line "It's over, isn't it?" while watching them laugh with each other, implying Pearl no longer holds Rose's love for Greg against him and the two can finally work towards a good friendship.

   In "Gem Harvest", when the Gems meet Andy DeMayo for the first time, Amethyst resents "some new Greg" intruding in their business, to which Pearl adds, "Our Greg is clearly the superior one," showing that Pearl has come to hold Greg in genuine esteem, a marked improvement from her previous resentment-tinged chilly détente with him.

   In Steven Universe: The Movie, after Pearl is struck by Spinel's rejuvenator, she is reset and loses her memories. Upon reforming, Pearl ends up believing Greg is her new owner and refers to him as "Um-Greg Universe". Much to Greg's chagrin, she continues to serve him up until he and Steven fuse into Steg.

   In "Rose Buds", Greg notices Pearl with the three Rose Quartzes staying at the Beach House. Pearl gives him a gesture of how uncomfortably awkward the situation is. Greg takes her silent message to avoid adding to the awkwardness, and promptly leaves; now they get along better.

   Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond “ Everything I ever did, I did for her. Now she's gone... but I'm still here.

   ” —"Rose's Scabbard" We Need To Talk (102,5) Pearl and Rose fusing.

   Pearl's closest relationship before the series started was with Pink Diamond, who, as Rose Quartz, was the leader of the Crystal Gems. Pearl was originally made for and given to Pink Diamond to make her happy, though Pearl was never able to do so before Earth's colonization. Pink was bored of Pearl, as she wasn't like her old pearl and was much more formal. She was also afraid of "breaking" her. But Pink still wanted a friend and confided in her on the moon base. Pearl really wanted to make her happy and developed a crush on her.

   After Pearl unintentionally inspired Pink Diamond to disguise herself as a Quartz soldier to have fun on her colony, Pink began to have second thoughts about her invasion after becoming enamored with the organic life on Earth. Pink and Pearl finally developed a true friendship, with Pink hugging and thanking her. When Pink's pleas to end the colonization were dismissed by the other Diamonds, she began a rebellion against her Homeworld as Rose, and Pearl was the first to fight alongside her. She looked up to Rose for guidance and support, and she developed romantic feelings for her over time, even imagining that she met her on Earth. Rose did not force Pearl to fight with her, and even told her that she didn't have to, but Pearl wanted to. Rose then called her, "My Pearl", and held her hand, which indicated she saw Pearl as her own person and looked up to her. Rose and Pearl's original goal was to wipe every gem off of earth and live together.

   In "The Answer", it is confirmed that Pearl and Rose had been together since, at least, the year 3734 BCE. After they saw Garnet's fusion, they went to the woods as Rose was amazed after seeing the fusion. As they talked, Pearl tried to fuse with Rose but immediately apologized, saying that a pearl and a diamond couldn't fuse, and asked to be replaced. Rose protested, and Pearl finally told Rose the fantasies she had about her while blushing, and asked if she should stop imagining. Rose told her to never stop and they almost fused into Rainbow Quartz for the first time,

   As revealed in "A Single Pale Rose", she was the only person who was aware of Rose's true identity as Pink Diamond and, as a result, believed herself to be Rose's "sole confidant" and, therefore, the only living being privy to all of Rose's secrets, a position she took great pride in. Due to Pink Diamond ordering Pearl to never speak of their plan again, Pearl was unable to tell anyone else the truth until Steven revealed it in "Now We're Only Falling Apart". Pearl deeply regretted that she went through with it and wanted to tell Steven, which caused her immense trauma.

   In "Story for Steven", when Rose explains that she attended Greg's concert, Pearl is quick to note as soon as he is out of earshot that she can also sing, much to the amusement of the other Crystal Gems.

   Sworn to the Sword 104 Pearl risking her life to protect Rose from a Gem Warrior on the Battlefield during the Rebellion.

   "Sworn to the Sword" reveals that she was so devoted to protecting Rose that she sacrificed herself constantly for her, having adopted the human title of a "knight" to the point of obsessive recklessness.

   "We Need to Talk" further explores the relationship between the two. Set in the 80's like the previous episode "Story for Steven", it reveals that Pearl was very jealous of Greg, constantly trying to persuade him that Rose's affections for him were just a "phase" because as a human he was eventually going to pass away while Rose, being a Gem, would live on. She also challenges him by convincing Rose to fuse with her in front of Greg, and later gloating that as a human he would never know such intimacy with Rose. Pearl's jealousy of Greg implied that her feelings for Rose were romantic. This was later confirmed by show writer Matt Burnett via a tweet[2] after the episode aired.

   We Need To Talk (100,5) When asked if Pearl's feelings for Rose were supposed to be a one-sided crush, Matt Burnett described the situation as "much more complicated".[3] In any case, their relationship was a very close one, as they easily and casually fused into Rainbow Quartz. In "Chille Tid" Pearl has a dream in which she suggests to Rose that they forget about Greg and explore the galaxy together.

   In "Reunited", Pearl mentally states that everything she does is for Pink/Rose and Steven. Despite this, she expresses willingness to acknowledge Pink Diamond's flaws in "Now We're Only Falling Apart", going as far to call her selfish, and criticizes her piloting skills in "Legs From Here to Homeworld". This, combined with Steven's statement in "Made of Honor" that the Crystal Gems will no longer side with Rose, implies that Pearl may not hold Pink/Rose in the same loving regard as she used to, even if she still respects her.

   In "Rose Buds", she is shown to be uncomfortable around the three Rose Quartz as they remind her of Rose/Pink.

   In "Volleyball", it is shown that she has come to resent Pink's secrecy and is unaware of her destructive powers. It is stated by her and Pink Pearl's fusion, Mega Pearl, that she knew Pink Diamond was trying to change, but she couldn't understand why. She also shows how far she has come from her relationship with Pink in how she remarks on how Pink Pearl still "has it bad" for Pink Diamond. However, in the same episode, she has a revelation that she is still making excuses for Pink's actions. Even though she knows that Pink never meant to cause any harm, she is still aware of the pain she unintentionally caused others, whether it was her actions, or her giving her life to create Steven. When Pink Pearl asks her how she stopped hurting from Pink's demise, she replies that she hasn't, showing that she still misses her, and acknowledging that Pink hurt her deeply.

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

   ” —Peridot, "Back to the Barn" Back to the Barn Number (232) Pearl and Peridot reach an understanding.

   Like the rest of the Crystal Gems, Pearl initially treated Peridot like an enemy and always attacked her on sight with extreme hostility and disdain.

   Pearl shows great anger towards Peridot until she came on even terms during the episode "When It Rains" and forms somewhat of an alliance with Peridot. During the events of "Back to the Barn" Pearl is treated as an inferior being to Peridot, as the gemstone pearl is revealed to be a servant class on Homeworld. This causes Pearl to become rather angry at Peridot during the episode, to the point of punching her in the face after Peridot's continuous jabs and belittling. Eventually, the two end up on even terms following the events of the "Robolympics". In "Message Received", Pearl officially accepts Peridot as a Crystal Gem. Pearl and Peridot currently seem to be on good terms.

   Bismuth “ Oh, come on Pearl. You know I can't take it when you cry like that!

   ” —Bismuth, "Bismuth" Bismuth 088 Bismuth holding Pearl in her hands and both laughing.

   When Steven brings Bismuth out of Lion's mane, Pearl is overjoyed and runs up to Bismuth to embrace her. Bismuth then jokes about who Pearl belongs to, which Pearl laughs along with. This shows that they have a strong relationship, as in any other circumstance, being a servant is a sensitive topic for Pearl.

   Bismuth learns about the aftermath of the war from Pearl. When Pearl starts to cry, Bismuth tells Pearl that she starts to cry whenever Pearl does, implying they had a close relationship previously. Pearl apologizes, but Bismuth says that it is okay, and they comfort each other.

   In general, they appear to be close (at least in comparison to the still extant Crystal Gems), having bonded over their common disregard of the Gem caste system.

   It's hinted at in "Bismuth Casual" that Bismuth may have romantic feelings for Pearl, which Pearl does not know about.

   Pink Pearl “ Pink Pearl: I was badly hurt. How did you stop hurting? Pearl: I didn't...

   ” —Pink Pearl and Pearl, "Volleyball" Volleyball 189 Pearl hugging Pink Pearl.

   In "Volleyball", it is shown she is initially jealous of Pink Pearl and the bond she shared with Pink Diamond. However, as the episode progresses, she bonds with Pink Pearl and fuses with her, the both of them coming to terms with the negative and hurtful things Pink Diamond had done. At the end of the episode, Mega Pearl remarks how they now have each other, indicating a deep bond that has now formed between them.

   Sugilite “ Pearl: You're just too much! Sugilite: Maybe you're just too little!

   ” —Pearl and Sugilite, "Coach Steven" Coach Steven (224) Pearl fighting Sugilite.

   Pearl dislikes Sugilite due to her reckless and violent nature. While singing "Strong in the Real Way", Pearl almost grudgingly admits that she is jealous of Sugilite's strength through, but she cuts herself off before finishing the line. Her dislike for Sugilite also stems from concern over Garnet and Amethyst as she believes it is dangerous for them to stay fused for long periods; they might start losing their individuality. Also, Pearl's own competing desire to feel "stronger" (when fused as Sardonyx) may play a role in her feelings towards Sugilite.

   Mystery Girl “ I asked her about her hair, and then she asked how I colored mine. I told her, "My appearance is just a conscious manifestation of light." and she said, "I know how that is." although, heh, I highly doubt it. Oh! And then I added, "By the way, I saved your planet, and your species, and you're welcome."

   ” —"Last One Out of Beach City" Mystery Girl and Pearl On the night she planned to see a rock show with Steven and Amethyst, Pearl met a mysterious woman and was surprised by her pink hair. She attempted to communicate with her but failed due to her clumsiness. Steven later pointed out the obvious resemblance between the woman and Rose, and Amethyst realized that Pearl was infatuated with her. The woman later drove by Greg's Dondai and Pearl tried to meet her gaze, blushing blue all the while. At the end of the night, the trio managed to arrive at their rock show, which the woman happened to be attending as well. Pearl confidentially spoke to her as herself, and the two discussed their hair colors and the Rebellion. The mysterious woman gave Pearl her phone number, suggesting that she would like Pearl to call her on the phone sometime.

   Spinel “ ♫ Her cut is perfect and she's pink, as well. She'll bring you endless entertainment. Your new, best friend, Spinel! ♫

   ” —Steven Universe: The Movie SU Movie 325 Spinel flicking Pearl's nose.

   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.

   Blue and Yellow Pearl Familiar 155 Blue Pearl welcoming Pearl back to Homeworld.

   Due to being Pink Diamond's Pearl, Pearl likely knows Yellow and Blue Pearl fairly well, though their interactions shown thus far have mostly been limited to them standing next to each other while their Diamonds converse. Both of them seemed to remember her after thousands of years, as shown by their shocked reactions at the mention of her whereabouts in "The Trial." Pearl seems to care about Yellow Pearl's well being in "Familiar," since she told Steven to stop asking Yellow Pearl to call him by different names out of concern that she might break. Also in the same episode, Blue Pearl appears to be friendly with Pearl as she welcomes her back to Homeworld.

   Lion Rose's Scabbard 023 Pearl shooing Lion.

   Originally, Pearl saw Lion as just an average wild animal, being a little uneasy about Steven keeping him because of his probably dangerous nature. However, in "Rose's Scabbard", she gains a different kind of unease due to him containing Rose's sword and thus having some connection to Rose. This knowledge distressed her greatly as Rose supposedly told her everything, causing her to resent Lion to the point where she ran away with Rose's Scabbard to the Gem Battlefield. After gaining encouragement from Steven, she seems to respect Lion a bit more while still feeling tenuous about him in general.

   Jasper Pearl appears to fear Jasper. When Garnet's physical form is brutally distorted by Jasper's Gem destabilizer, Pearl screams in fear. In "Gem Hunt", when Pearl notices Jasper, she screams Jasper's name in a frightened voice and immediately points her spear towards her. Despite Pearl's fear of Jasper, she was still willing to attempt to save her from falling into the fissure that was caused by the earthquake from The Cluster in "Super Watermelon Island".

   Smoky Quartz Know Your Fusion 135 Sardonyx asking Smoky Quartz questions about themself.

   Pearl was very shocked and excited to meet Smoky Quartz. It has been shown that she cares about them, seen when she asks them questions in "Know Your Fusion" as Sardonyx. Smoky is also shown to care about Pearl too, saving her in "Know Your Fusion" and "Change Your Mind".

   Keys: Steven Universe. · Secondary: Main character.

   Steven Quartz Universe is the titular main protagonist of the Steven Universe franchise. He is the son of Greg Universe and Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond, the only known hybrid of a human and a Gem and the first Crystal Gem of human descent. As a result of his parentage, Steven is an extraordinarily unique being with innate powers beyond that of normal humans and Gems. While he was only a child, Steven steadily grew from a tag-along to the Crystal Gems into the heart of the team thanks to his kind-hearted nature and resourcefulness. Steven is devoted to protecting humanity and helping those in need just as Rose Quartz did, and though her monumental legacy once forced Steven to live in her shadow, he has since surpassed her by ending the authoritarian practices of the Great Diamond Authority and establishing peace across the galaxy.

   Appearance Debut According to Pearl and Vidalia, Steven takes after his parents. He is relatively short with a thick, stocky build. He has fair skin, curly dark brown hair, dark brown eyebrows, and full black irises which can sometimes have stars as pupils when he gets excited or optimistic. He wears a salmon-pink T-shirt with a gold star in the center. He also wears cuffed blue jeans and salmon-pink flip-flop sandals. His gemstone, a pink diamond he inherited from his mother is where his navel should be. As revealed in "Steven's Birthday", while he is fourteen years of age his half-Gem physiology affects his rate of aging and he appears younger.

   Steven Universe: The Movie As of Steven Universe: The Movie, Steven has aged physically, having grown slightly taller and now having a visible neck. He still keeps his blue jeans and salmon-pink sandals, but his shirt is now sky-blue with a yellow star in the center, and he also wears a pink varsity jacket with white trims.

   Current As of Steven Universe Future, Steven wears the same clothing he had worn in the movie, except that his sky blue shirt is now black, resembling his father Greg's old Mr. Universe shirts.

   Monster At the end of "Everything's Fine" and during "I Am My Monster", he transforms into a giant Kaiju-sized monster after coming to the conclusion that he is one. He is massive in size, towering over the Crystal Temple and completely dwarfing the Diamonds, though he noticeably decreases in size over time, becoming only a few meters taller than his fellow Diamonds. His posture is heavily hunched over and his anatomy is disproportionate, with a potbelly, a long heavy neck ending in a small head, a short tail, long powerful arms, and relatively short legs. His body is covered head to toe in hot pink tuberculate scales that are hexagonal in shape, and his back is protected by a thick armored carapace. He has numerous pinkish off-white thorn-like spines running down the length of his back and forearms, starting at his forehead and ending halfway down his tail. He retains his human form's facial profile and nose, though his eyes have gained black sclera and glowing pink pupils, and his mouth is now filled with sharp teeth. On the sides of his head are a pair of long, angular horns that point upwards, as well as a similar-looking pair of short, curved tusks on the sides of his lower jaw. His forearms are thick and powerful, bearing large human-like hands with four fingers and a thumb each, all five digits bearing sharp, dark pink claws. His legs are digitigrade in posture and his feet bear five claw-tipped toes each. His gemstone is still located where his navel would be, though it appears much smaller due to his massive size in this state.

   Personality “ He is a super-excitable, hammy kid.

   ” —Rebecca Sugar Gem Glow (191) Steven, after summoning his shield for the first time.

   Steven is optimistic, friendly, outgoing, soft-hearted, and carefree with a happy-go-lucky attitude that is appreciated by many of the citizens of Beach City in one way or another. He is musically inclined, a trait inherited from his father, with a propensity for breaking out into song and occasionally playing on his ukulele. Steven sees the best in everyone and is also very compassionate, something which Pearl notes he inherits from his mother and treasures his friends and family. He is friendly toward almost everyone he meets (even to his detriment), rarely holds grudges, and is non-discriminatory, never treating anyone with prejudice, even enemies. No matter the situation, Steven will always go out of his way to support his loved ones, even if it means putting his life on the line and he will avoid resorting to violence if possible. He would much rather make a compromise and choose to reason than fight back.

   Steven looks up to his caretakers — Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl — and considers them family. He wants to be a great hero just like them and is eager to go on adventures with the trio, both to prove his worth and to have fun exploring strange lands. Despite his underdeveloped magical power and lack of experience, he has proven himself to have much heroic potential through his resourcefulness, optimism, and confidence.

   Steven is rather naive and socially oblivious due to his isolated upbringing. Steven has never attended a school and before "Nightmare Hospital" had never been in a hospital or had his vitals taken. While Steven is often prepared to go on adventures at a moment's notice he has a habit of biting off more than he can chew, requiring the Gems to intervene. While Steven retains his childlike innocence and obliviousness to the dangers he is put in, his encounters with Homeworld Gems give him a new level of seriousness.

   Full Disclosure 102 Steven trying to ignore Connie's call.

   This initially makes Steven self-conscious about his immaturity and he gains resolve to outgrow it, although his misguided attempt becomes a source of self-inflicted misery as he tries to break off his friendship with Connie to protect her from harm. It was only Connie's sensible nature that stops him from going down a bad road and balances his resolve. Steven has since grown more mature and level-headed in dealing with strenuous situations, but his enthusiasm has remained the same.

   Barn Mates 150 Steven helping out Peridot make up to Lapis.

   His maturity has grown to new levels as he helps Lapis Lazuli and Peridot acclimate to Earth and continues to hone his powers. He is now more willing to fight than before to aid and protect his friends though still willing to help anyone in need — even enemies, as seen when he tried to heal Jasper from creeping corruption in "Earthlings". Unfortunately, this has also gotten him in trouble as shown in "Bubbled" and "Room for Ruby" in which trying to befriend "Eyeball" and accept "Navy" as a Crystal Gem ended badly: "Eyeball" tried to kill him when she believed he was Rose Quartz due to his healing powers and "Navy" turned out to have been lying in revenge.

   “ A great example is in "Bismuth" and throws something at her and yells, "Look out!" but they're fighting and she's actively trying to get him. It's very insightful to who Steven is. Violence is always the last resort. He'll always try to talk it out for better or for worse, it doesn't always go the way he wants it to.

   ” —Zach Callison in an interview[2] Like his mother, he appears to be very charismatic; for example, easing a raging crowd in "Political Power", and motivating his friends and father into working out and helping Pearl to find her strength to fight Sugilite in "Coach Steven". His genuine kindness, sincerity, and capacity for empathy let him inspire friendship, trust, and love from most of the people he meets which enables him to mend others' inner turmoil and reach others who are otherwise closed off, noticeably in the cases of Peridot and Lapis Lazuli.

   “ But the truth is, we rely on you. Your voice inspires us, binds us, reminds us why we promised to protect the planet. You need to be that voice. For them.

   ” —Garnet to Steven, "The Return" Steven is shown to have unique tastes in entertainment. He enjoys Crying Breakfast Friends! despite his dad and the Gems' inability to understand its appeal. Steven is a bit of a romantic and loves the ending of The Spirit Morph Saga for the wedding even when Connie disagrees. "Made of Honor" further shows his enthusiasm for weddings in the form of the wedding planner book he claims to have been putting together his entire life and he shows great zeal in preparing for and performing Ruby and Sapphire's wedding in "Reunited".

   Despite his naivety Steven still has a more grounded and practical outlook than his three caretakers, often correcting them on normal human interactions. Though Steven frequently goes on fantastic adventures he retains a tendency to be easily impressed; he is enamored with Bill Dewey's play until Jamie points out its flaws and is also shocked to find that his Watermelon Stevens are alive and admits it should not have surprised him.

   Tiger Millionaire 233 Steven, as "Tiger Millionaire", knocks over Lars' drink, saying he couldn't afford a signature from him.

   While Steven is typically friendly and kind-hearted by nature, his enthusiasm and excitability can get out of hand and he ends up doing more harm than good. When this happens he can be anywhere between obnoxious, overbearing, and rude. Steven tends to let his inhibitions go out the window when doing something theatrical, as seen in "Tiger Millionaire", "Steven and the Stevens", and "Sadie's Song". His alter-ego Tiger Millionaire is the best example of Steven letting his passionate side get the better of him.

   The only time he has shown true anger and prejudice toward someone is Kevin in "Beach City Drift" for the way he treats Stevonnie. His dislike and desire to best Kevin lead him to fuse with Connie and the anger Stevonnie inherits is strong enough that they hallucinate and fall apart. It is Connie's sensible nature that convinces him to let his anger go.

   Made of Honor (215) Steven and Bismuth opening up to each other.

   Deep down Steven feels guilt over his mother not being around and inferiority over not being able to live up to her reputation. He is unwilling to talk about this with the Gems due to thinking they blame him for Rose being gone. The only people he has opened up to about it are Amethyst, Bismuth, and the Cool Kids. He told Amethyst the reason he is working so hard is that he is not Rose Quartz and Bismuth that he does not think he can live up to his mother's standards.

   In "Mindful Education" it is revealed that Steven harbors guilt over the unfortunate events upon Bismuth, Jasper, and "Eyeball". Like his guilt over Rose, he tries to keep these worries secluded in his heart and to not think about it, convincing himself he had no other choice.

   After it is revealed by "Eyeball" in "Back to the Moon" that Rose Quartz supposedly shattered Pink Diamond he becomes more independent and rebellious towards the Gems and their authority over what he is supposed to know. In "Steven's Dream" he argues with Garnet for not telling him why he shouldn't find the broken Palanquin, figure out his dream and learn why he is shedding a constant flow of tears. As he discovers more about his mother and the effects her actions had he starts to show anger and guilt towards her over what she did.

   I am my mom 285 Steven confessing to his friends that he is the only one who can end what his mother caused.

   "Storm in the Room" highlights Steven's anger and confusion towards Rose over her actions and how she "disappeared" leaving him to clean up her mess. "Lion 4: Alternate Ending" shows he has become paranoid about anything having to do with Rose and her secrets and in "The Good Lars" calls her a war criminal. These feelings come to a head in "Are You My Dad?" and "I Am My Mom" when his friends are captured by Topaz and Aquamarine and he bargains to free them by offering himself instead as a way to atone for his and his mother's actions.

   The Trial 127 Steven pleading guilty for his mothers crimes to Yellow and Blue Diamond.

   "The Trial" highlights his resolve to atone for the shattering of Pink Diamond in that he immediately pleads guilty knowing that he would be executed. However, when Rose Quartz's crime comes into question he is shocked upon the revelation of the flaws in his mother's crime and the possibility of another Diamond being responsible for Pink Diamond's death instead of Rose Quartz. Matt Burnett and Ben Levin stated he learned he was wrong about who Rose was and wonders whether he has to carry the moral greyness she had or if he can be stronger and different.[3]

   Dewey Wins 6 Steven assuming Connie would be happy to see him back safely.

   Steven's obliviousness can create problems even with those he cares about as in "Dewey Wins" he thinks Connie should be grateful to him for giving himself up to Homeworld to save her, not understanding how he hurt her until suffering the same hurt when Dewey concedes the mayoral race in spite of Steven's campaigning and urging the public to give him another chance; although this particular obliviousness could be attributed to him not being ready to face his feelings over his surrender and everything he experienced on Homeworld as well as having to deal with the emotional anguish his surrender caused his loved ones. "Kevin Party" shows him confronting the harm he did when he reunites with Connie after a few weeks apart from her and apologizes to her for giving up and brushing off her feelings.

   However, the aforementioned episode also shows Steven's great emotional vulnerability beforehand and how it can cause him to make impulsive and poor decisions and be subject to manipulation by others; as seen when he sees Connie sporting a new look and her and Lion (who had shared her anger with him over his surrender and stayed with her since after taking her home following their fight) seemingly having a great time at the party without him, and assumes that they've both moved on from him in their anger (mainly due to Connie's seeming complete lack of response to all of Steven's attempts to make amends throughout their estrangement and Lion never returning to Steven after taking her home). This assumption and his already emotionally vulnerable state nearly drive Steven to leave the party without even trying to talk to Connie, and ultimately, to desperately take Kevin's advice to bait her into making the first move in their reconciliation by deliberately ignoring her presence and making it seems like life is going fine for him with her gone. The advice, of course, ends up having the opposite effect, instead causing Connie to believe that Steven has given up on making amends with her after being unintentionally abandoned and shut out by her for so long, and has decided to both drop her as his best friend and replace her with Kevin, which is seemingly confirmed in her eyes when the two have an awkward encounter in which he, still under Kevin's influence, implies that he has moved on from her and Lion, and is much happier with them out of his life. Only when Connie angrily confronts him over this and nearly leaves with Lion again does Steven return to his senses, narrowly stopping them from leaving and, after discovering the reasons behind Connie's silence towards him and that she had always intended to reconcile with him, finally talks things out with her.

   Mom was Pink Diamond Steven's reaction after learning Rose was Pink Diamond.

   "A Single Pale Rose" once again changes Steven's view of his mother after learning she actually was Pink Diamond. He tells Amethyst in "What's Your Problem?" he is still confused about her and her actions. "Made of Honor" and "Reunited" cement Steven's growth and maturity as he forgives Bismuth and accepts her back into the Crystal Gems with Bismuth claiming Steven as the real leader of the Crystal Gems and as he convinces Blue and Yellow Diamond to stop fighting by revealing his identity as Pink Diamond's son/reincarnation.

   “ Learning about his mom, things he didn't realize, things aren't as they seem, it's hard for him to process all that. That's a big dynamic for Steven as the show goes on. He just wanted to meet his mom at first. He had all these questions about who she was and know that he knows he wishes he didn't in a lot of ways. He still doesn't know definitive answers about a lot of things. He was especially frustrated when the Gems wouldn't always tell him the truth about things or how things really were. That's going to be a struggle for Steven for a while. At this point, because I don't know the whole story, I can't say. I don't think Steven knows if he can at this point.

   ” —Zach Callison in an interview "Familiar" gives Steven a look into his mother's relationships with Blue and Yellow Diamond, and also leads him to realizes that he and his mother have something in common: they are/were the youngest members of the Crystal Gems and Diamond Authority respectively, and were frequently underestimated due to their immaturity, but also dearly loved and doted on like children by their peers. With this, Steven decides to embrace his mother's old role on Homeworld to help convince White Diamond to cure the corrupted Gems on Earth.

   However, "Together Alone" shows him struggling to deal with Homeworld's stifling conformities and traditions, much like his mother did, especially when he learns that he and his friends must be split up during the ball he has decided to throw: only Pearl and Connie are allowed to remain by his side (with the latter as his "pet"), while Garnet must split up into Ruby and Sapphire, and they and Amethyst (who must wear limb enhancers) must remain with their kind of Gem. With Connie's encouragement, however, Steven decides to go against the traditions, and dances with her, but this ends up causing trouble when the two fuse, which causes an uproar that ruins the ball, and leads to the Crystal Gems, who fused in defiant support of Stevonnie, to be poofed, and Stevonnie themself to be locked away in a prison tower as punishment. This shows an at least temporary shift in their personalities, with Steven being more withdrawn and practical than he usually is, while Connie is more upbeat and impulsive than she usually is.

   Change Your Mind 867 Steven convincing White Diamond.

   "Change Your Mind" shows Steven finally coming to terms with himself and his mother, and after a long struggle and battle, managing to open the eyes and mindsets of all the Diamonds (including White), convincing them to restore the corrupted Gems on Earth, and drop their conforming perfectionist way of life to become better beings.

   Steven Rediscovering His Powers Steven rediscovering his powers.

   Steven Universe: The Movie shows Steven at his most mature, having grown into his role as the new Pink Diamond, though he is also shown in a slightly negative light; specifically, he is shown to be very single-minded and inflexible when stressed, as he becomes so focused on saving the Earth and reclaiming his "happily ever after" that his attention is on trying to get the Crystal Gems’ memories back instead of focusing on the regenerated Spinel, and he is too focused on that task to notice that he manages to set Spinel off again after she deactivates her injector. However, he realizes his mistakes at the climax when he remembers his greatest power is changing and inspires change when trying to help Spinel.

   Volleyball 149 Steven's frustration over dealing with his mother's mistakes, which sets off his pink state.

   In Steven Universe Future, he retains his maturity from the movie, but can still be overbearing in trying to help others as seen in "Guidance". "Volleyball" showcases Steven's anger and frustration towards his mother after learning she gave Pink Pearl her cracked eye, causing a fair amount of destruction through his powers as a result. In "Bluebird" he shows a more snarky, cynical and sarcastic personality when dealing with Bluebird and a resurfaced Aquamarine and "Eyeball"; "A Very Special Episode" highlight his maturity and practicality as he races between Garnet and Pearl to help keep both situations under control. "Snow Day" once again showcases Steven's maturity as well as his hardworking attitude and lifestyle along with him desiring to not be seen as a child anymore which culminates in the Gems finally accepting Steven as the person he's grown into and his understanding that they miss him as he's growing up. "Little Graduation" shows he is suffering from anxiety as all his friends move on with their lives and "Prickly Pair" shows his growing anxieties with himself and his relationships with the Gems.

   Throughout the latter half of Future he resembles his mother more, particularly her faults as he runs away from problems by helping everyone else with theirs, hides his feelings and distances himself from others, and shows a literally explosive temper that causes his powers to run out of control.

   In Dreams 191 In a dream, Steven fears over Peridot drifting away from him.

   "In Dreams" and "Bismuth Casual" highlight Steven's fears of drifting away from his friends and holding them back; the former episode displays his stress over his desperation to appease Peridot by using his dream powers recreating the reboot of Camp Pining Hearts (which they both dislike), and the latter displays his fears that Connie, who at this point has made other friends and is more outgoing and confident than ever before, has forgotten their friendship. Fortunately, both Peridot and Connie reaffirm their bonds with Steven by each episode's end (Peridot after apologizing to Steven for putting so much pressure on him, and Connie after fusing with him into Stevonnie and winning a skate competition).

   Together Forever 192 Steven, heartbroken after his rejected proposal to Connie.

   "Together Forever" shows Steven reaching an emotional impasse in his relationship with Connie as the time for her to head off to college draws nearer; as such, he then makes the impulsive decision to propose marriage to her and follow her to college as Stevonnie in order to stay in her life and find purpose in his life. When she turns him down (at least for the time being) due to them being really young and wanting to retain her individuality, he is understanding but emotionally crushed.

   "Growing Pains" showcases the aftermath of Steven's failed proposal to Connie: his body begins shapeshifting out of control due to his emotions, and Connie convinces him to go see a doctor for the first time in his life. This also shows that, as Dr. Maheswaran reveals from her examination, Steven is suffering psychological, mental, and emotional trauma (most likely, but not confirmed to be PTSD) due to the traumatic events throughout the original series and movie dating back to his childhood that is starting to flare up now that those in Steven's support system (e.g. his family and friends) are moving on with their own goals and lives, and implies that Connie's declining of Steven's proposal might have set his emotionally-charged shapeshifting off. However, the episode also shows the good that comes from Steven talking his problem out with someone, namely his father who afterward assures his son he'll be there for him during the tough times.

   "Mr. Universe" highlights Steven getting to know more about his father's family and his father's life before coming to Beach City and meeting Rose. However, Steven becomes disillusioned after learning his father's backstory was similar to his mother's: Greg was brought up with strict, overbearing parents who controlled his life and never supported his interests which led to him running away to take control of his destiny. This revelation leaves Steven feeling resentful over being denied typical childhood experiences (such as going to school and the doctor) and likely causes him to conclude that the lack of normalcy in his childhood has left him unable to deal with his trauma or figure out what to do with his life.

   Fragments 222 Steven, harnessing the destructive side of his powers, about to shatter Jasper.

   In "Fragments", Steven's insecurities about himself, his life, and his powers finally lead to him breaking away from his family and running away to the one he feels can understand him: Jasper. This also displays a ruthless and darker Steven as he hones the destructive side of his powers with Jasper's training. He also becomes arrogant about his newfound abilities as seen when he kisses his bicep, something even Jasper is annoyed by. As a result, he decides to no longer hold back, enjoying the thrill of fighting and the freedom of using his full power which culminates in him gleefully massively attacking Jasper in a rematch of their fight from "Little Homeschool", causing, unintentionally and to his great horror, her shattering. Immediately after, Steven retains his kind and remorseful attributes as shown when he brings Jasper's gemstone shards home after calming down from his battle high and uses his and the Diamonds' essences to restore it. Unfortunately, when Jasper addresses him as "my Diamond" after reforming Steven is left reeling with horror as he realizes that by shattering Jasper out of aggression, he has broken his principles and seemingly become the one person he fought against being compared to for so long: his mother.

   "Fragments" and "Homeworld Bound" reveal that Steven harbors a suppressed desire for vengeance against all who willingly wronged him, especially the Diamonds and others from Homeworld; he is irritated by them and Spinel acting friendly after everything they had done to hurt him and his loved ones, and having a strong intrusive thought about shattering White Diamond's gemstone when given control of her body.

   "Everything's Fine" shows Steven's mental health nearing its lowest when, after returning from Homeworld, he puts on a cheerful façade and tries to help everyone like he used to. However, due to his enhanced powers, his interference only leads to disaster in everything he tries to help with. When his loved ones confront him in an intervention, Steven finally lets loose the bad things that occurred with him since leaving Little Homeschool, including Jasper's shattering, which shocks everyone. This, combined with his PTSD, sense of purposelessness, and failure to help others, leads to Steven denouncing himself as worse than his mother; a fraud and a monster. This triggers an emotional meltdown and transformation into an actual monster.

   I Am My Monster 170 Steven being hugged by all of his friends and family.

   "I Am My Monster" shows Steven's complete emotional meltdown as he, now transformed into the monster he sees himself as, goes on a rampage as the Crystal Gems and later the Diamonds, Spinel, and the Cluster tries to keep him from hurting anyone and find a way to change him back. However, after they all manage to embrace him in a group hug, showing that they love him unconditionally and will always be there no matter what, Steven is finally able to calm down, return to normal, and let out his years of emotional baggage.

   “ I think maybe Cookie Cat had run out of ways to grow on his home planet. And even though it must’ve been hard, and he loved his family so, so much, maybe he had to leave to keep moving forward.

   ” —Steven, "The Future The Future 183 Steven driving out of Beach City on his road trip.

   "The Future", taking place a few months later, reveals Steven is in a better place thanks to both his loved ones and therapy and has made plans to leave Beach City to see the world and make his own destiny like his father, leaving Greg his old room. It is also implied that he is now officially in a relationship with Connie as they kiss just before he leaves, and they make plans to meet with each other during his travels and her college tours with help from Lion beforehand. He also gives each of the Crystal Gems a parting gift and shares an emotional farewell with the main three and the townspeople before driving out of Beach City for the foreseeable future.

   Abilities As a human/Gem hybrid, Steven possesses unique physiology, resembling a fusion of a Gem and a human. He is capable of using Gem magic, though it is unknown if he possesses all the abilities of a pure Gem, such as retreating to their gemstone when taking fatal damage. As associated with his gemstone, Steven's powers are maternal and the control of his gemstone is based on emotional clarity.

   Steven has shown to have some abilities of a regular Gem, but sometimes has little control over them due to not receiving enough training. He can warp using the Warp Pads and bubble objects and gemstones to be teleported to the Temple with seemingly full control. He is not strictly oxygen-dependent and is vacuum-resistant as shown in "Ocean Gem" and "Space Race". He also shows that he can fuse, as he can fuse with Connie to form Stevonnie. While in the beginning, they tend to fuse spontaneously when they dance and while thinking about each other, by "Beach City Drift" they fuse and re-fuse into Stevonnie at will. Furthermore, he has also been shown to be able to fuse with other Gems as well, as he first fused with Amethyst to form Smoky Quartz in "Earthlings". However, this ability to fuse is only possible through his gem and training, and once his gemstone was affected by Spinel's rejuvenator, fusing with his father proved to be extremely exhausting for Steven and severely weakened him since he lost the power and focus he originally had.

   Steven is also capable of shapeshifting, but he has not yet learned to fully control it. His first attempt in "Cat Fingers" was disastrous, temporarily turning him into a cat monster. He has not been able to change his form entirely but can freely shapeshift parts of his body as seen in "Too Short to Ride". His greatest feat in shapeshifting is seen in "Steven's Birthday", where he can use shapeshifting to make himself appear older.

   Despite his happy-go-lucky and cheerful attitude, he shows himself to be a competent shield fighter and can hold his own in most situations with his skill consistently increasing due to practice.

   The final battle with Spinel in Steven Universe: The Movie shows him at the peak of his abilities as he fights her one on one, showing that he has grown exceptionally skilled since he was a child, able to either withstand or counter everything Spinel throws at him.

   "Fragments" shows a new level of Steven's abilities as he fights Jasper in his pink state, showing increased strength, speed, and the ability to fly.

   Despite being educated in an isolated environment and never attending conventional school, he possesses a good deal of knowledge not only on general topics, but also in scientific and technical fields like physics, chemistry, and geography due to being educated by the highly intellectual Pearl. However, due to the Crystal Gems' obliviousness about some human activities, he is quite oblivious about some social terms, like "nuclear family". The prime example is during his conversation with Connie about a family gathering in which Connie mentions the concept of a nuclear family, which makes Steven think that she thinks the Crystal Gems are radioactive. Another example is that when Connie introduces Steven to her favorite novel series, Steven had no idea about the order of the books in the series and was reading them out of order.

   Fusions When fused with Connie, they form Stevonnie. When fused with Greg, they form Steg. When fused with Amethyst, they form Smoky Quartz. When fused with Pearl, they form Rainbow Quartz 2.0. When fused with Ruby and Sapphire (or Garnet), they form Sunstone. When fused with Ruby and Sapphire (or Garnet), Amethyst, and Pearl, they form Obsidian. Skillset Intelligence: Though never directly stated, Steven is shown to be extremely intelligent in his own right. He is a natural problem solver, as most of his early adventures relied on him using intelligence and creativity to get himself out of trouble without the use of his powers. He is also able to converse with the highly intelligent Connie on an equal footing since they first met. For much of the early series, his intelligence was overshadowed by his immaturity, something that has faded as he has matured and shown how deeply he thinks about things, particularly what he has learned about Rose Quartz, even though he actively tries not to. "Snow Day" shows Steven's intelligence and organization as he works on the class schedule for Little Homeschool. Piloting: In "Legs From Here to Homeworld", he controls his mother's old ship to get a running start to take off. In "Change Your Mind", Yellow tells Steven to take a knee and Steven kneels to control it on the outside. Driving: In Steven Universe Future, Steven is seen driving the Dondai Supremo, suggesting he has his driver's license. Multitasking: In Steven Universe: The Movie, Steven is able to defend himself against Spinel while also trying to talk things out with her. Language learning: In Steven Universe Future, Steven is shown to know Gem Glyph during his job as a teacher when it comes to dealing with documents written entirely in Gem Glyph. Steven wasn't familiar with Gem Glyph when he was 14, which means he's learnt it at a relatively fast time, considering the language's structure is unlike anything like English. Tiger Philanthropist (120) Martial Arts: Steven has been shown to exhibit martial arts moves while wrestling during "Tiger Philanthropist". Due to his superhuman strength, these moves can easily injure or knock out other humans when used by Steven. He can also go blow for blow with Spinel (while attempting to talk things out with her) and was able to impress Jasper, a former highly skilled Gem soldier in their own right. Natural Abilities Shapeshifting: Steven possses some level of the natural shapeshifting abilities typical of Gems, which he first displayed in "Cat Fingers" when he shapeshifts his hands to have cats for fingers, but he lost control of this rather quickly. As of "Too Short to Ride", he is shown to be much better at using this ability than before, being able to stretch various parts of his body at will repeatedly, though as with Amethyst he can only do this for a certain amount of time and his half-human nature puts more of a strain on his body than it would a Gem. In the episode "Snow Day" Steven demonstrates the ability to shapeshift into his younger form. In "I Am My Monster" he shows that he can completely transform into a Gem monster many times his size and height. Fluctuating Age: As revealed in the episode "So Many Birthdays", Steven can manipulate his age through his state of mind. Steven's age depends solely on how old he thinks he is. Uncontrollable age-changing could also potentially be caused by his emotions like most of his powers. This ability is an extension of Gem shapeshifting, however, due to his organic half, by shapeshifting into the body of an elderly man, Steven's body may actually fail as a result, as shown in "So Many Birthdays". "Fragments" shows him age slightly as he trains with Jasper.Monster Steven (Modelsheet) by RylerGamerDBS Steven in his monster state.

   Monster State: Due to all of his emotional grief, PTSD, and sense of purposelessness, Steven viewed himself as a monster and therefore transformed into one at the end of "Everything's Fine". In this state, he has a bestial mentality not unlike a Corrupted Gem; only much more powerful and dangerous than before. He was able to quickly defeat Alexandrite, completely resist the powers of all three Diamonds, break free of Lapis' water chains, and even overpower The Cluster. It's implied by Sapphire that he would've remained in this state forever if they did not intervene. However, once all of the Crystal Gems, the Diamonds, Spinel, The Cluster, Greg, and Connie all got through to him through their words and love, this managed to snap Steven out of this state and turn him back to normal. Water-Walking: As shown in "I Am My Monster", Steven, in his monster form, can run on the surface of water. Given he is a Diamond, and all three Diamonds are able to run on water as well, it is likely Steven shares this ability. However, it is unknown if he can achieve in his human form. Superhuman Strength: Steven occasionally performs feats of strength that would be impossible for a human boy his age, or even a grown man. In "Together Breakfast", Steven can lift and force the Together Breakfast in its mutated state into the lava pool in the Burning Room without the other Crystal Gems' abatement. He also displays a large amount of strength in "Arcade Mania" when he rips off the top of the Meat Beat Mania arcade game to break Garnet from her trance. He displays an even further amount of strength in "The Return" when he smashes Greg's Van's dashboard with a single punch, apparently hard enough to both shatter it and activate the airbags. In "Joy Ride", he can move Jenny away from the Escape Pod with little effort. Later on in "Friend Ship", he is shown to be strong enough to throw his shield hard enough to stun Peridot. When Peridot is unable to open the lid to the power grid in "When It Rains", Steven can open it with little effort, though this may have been for comedic effect as opposed to an actual feat of strength. He can rip off the control panel from the drill machine when it malfunctions in "Too Far". In "Drop Beat Dad", he easily lifts a crate of musical gear, a task that requires two adult humans to achieve. As Gems are much stronger and durable than their appearance would indicate, Steven's superhuman strength is most likely passed down to him from his mother. In even more recent episodes, his strength is even more evident, as he was able to throw a large stone statue back at Bismuth, hurl a large rock at Amethyst, and throw Peridot into the air. As seen in "Future Boy Zoltron", Steven's strength is underestimated and unintentional in situations by even himself, as tapping the Zoltron robot made it fall over and shatter into pieces. In "The Zoo", he punched his father with enough force to knock him back several feet and easily carried him overhead as he ran from the Zoo. Steven's strength was further demonstrated in "Tiger Philanthropist", when he managed to fight off several conditioned adult men without tiring, including being able to lift an adult male human above his head and throw him a considerable distance. In "Lars' Head", he is shown to fairly easily push a boulder that both the Rutile Twins and Rhodonite combined were unable to move, causing the twins to even remark "Woah, strong." while all three Gems stared at him in awe. In "Back to the Kindergarten", Steven carried a rock stack that was at least a few times taller than himself while showing no strain. Even when he was significantly weakened, in Steven Universe: The Movie, Steven was strong enough to momentarily lift the gargantuan drill out of the ground. Superhuman Durability: As shown in "Steven vs. Amethyst" and "Bismuth", Steven is more durable than what his human physiology and stature would lead one to believe. Befitting his nature as a half-diamond Gem, his body can take a great amount of punishment, as seen when Amethyst swings him down from the air and into the floor of the Ancient Sky Arena, he can stand up and continue fighting despite being seen with torn clothes, scratches, and bruises. In "Bismuth", when Bismuth tossed a training statue at Steven and slammed him into a wall during their fight, he emerged with several scratches yet was not badly injured. In "Adventures in Light Distortion", Steven's durability allowed him to handle the full force of faster-than-light space travel. While the other Crystal Gems were unable to hold their physical forms together, Steven was not only able to survive, but also show no sign of internal or external injuries. In his final battle with Spinel, he shows that using his shield he can withstand every blow she throws at him without injury, while the injector beneath him cracked and shattered from the force. In "Growing Pains, his conversation with Priyanka Maheswaran reveals an X-Ray of Steven's skeleton, showing numerous physical injuries and fractures that seemed to heal nearly instantly (according to her diagnosis). While she isn't entirely sure how it works, it shows that a number of Steven's injuries were seemingly healed shortly after the damage was made. Gem Weaponry Resistance: Jail Break 023 Because Steven is half-human, he is resistant to anti-Gem weaponry. He can pass through the yellow destabilization fields used in the Gem Warship and can grab the live end of a Gem Destabilizer with only mild discomfort. It is unknown what long-term exposure would do to him. However, repeated strikes from a Gem Rejuvenator will render him powerless. Superhuman Speed: As shown in "Greg the Babysitter", Steven has the power to travel faster than any normal human. In his pink state, he is capable of moving at a percentage of light speed, with his perception of time also becoming highly accelerated. Unique Abilities Steven Universe - With Weapon3 Steven holding his shield.

   Steven's shield png Steven's shield on its own.

   Due to possessing Pink Diamond's gemstone he shares most, if not all of his unique abilities with her.

   Shield Proficiency: Steven can summon Rose's shield. Because Steven's powers are maternal, he is required to feel a strong need to protect and help others to call his shield out. Early on, he had little to no control over how to summon it, only calling it forth by chance or when in mortal danger. As of "Sworn to the Sword", Steven is now able to not only summon his shield with little effort but also increase its size at will. He appears to have become quite skilled in wielding it as he was able to use it in conjunction with his protective bubble and defend against Pearl's strikes. Unlike some other Gems, instead of "pulling" his shield out of his gemstone, it appears over his arms similar to Garnet's gauntlets appearing over her hands. As of "Friend Ship", he has become completely capable of summoning his shield at any moment he requires it, even being able to scale his shield large enough to defend the Crystal Gems. It should be noted, however, that overuse of his shield exhausts Steven (such as using it three times in one day), though he has since overcome this weakness. The shield is remarkably durable. The greatest testaments of its durability are shown in "The Return" when it was able to withstand a charged shot from the Gem Warship, and Steven Universe: The Movie, where it was able to withstand an attack from Spinel that cracked (and eventually shattered) her entire injector. As of "Crack the Whip", Steven can summon his Shield as many times as he wants without tiring, even summoning more than one. This shows that his exhaustion was possibly due to inexperience. The shield also has reflective properties strong enough to reflect a laser fired from a scanning Robonoid, as seen in "Off Colors". Tag-team Combat: Due to the close bond they share, Steven can coordinate his shield techniques perfectly with Connie's swordplay, such as fighting back-to-back to defend and attack simultaneously or catapulting Connie from his shield for a powerful lunge attack. Dual Wielding: As seen in "Crack the Whip", Steven can manifest more than one shield. Projectile Shield: Steven, when in great excitement, can throw his shield as a projectile with great speed and power. In "Friend Ship", he weaponizes it as a ranged attack against Peridot, hitting her in the head with enough accuracy to temporarily stun her. In "Crack the Whip", Steven throws two shields at once in a sparring match with Connie. As seen in "Steven vs. Amethyst", Steven can boomerang his shield off of several targets, causing it to return to his hand. His shield also has razor-sharp edges and can cut through substances as tough as a solid rock before returning to him, hitting Amethyst in the process, showing Steven's growing skill in this technique. The shield may also have potential to damage metal, as seen in its debut in "Gem Glow", where Steven got so excited, he accidentally had it ricochet off the roof, floor, and walls of the Beach House on the Crystal Temple, until it hit Steven's TV, impaling and damaging it. Shield Vibration: On certain occasions when Steven's shield is hit, it emits an audible vibration that disables magical constructs. In "Ocean Gem", it destabilizes Lapis Lazuli's Water Clones when a ball of water hits Steven's shield. It also seems to play a brief role in "Sworn to the Sword", when a Holo-Pearl attacks his shield, and it promptly deactivates (the same sound in the former episode can be heard as it does). Aura Projection: While interacting with Blue and Yellow Diamond in the astral dimension, Steven was able to manifest and project a powerful pink aura, which convinced them that he was truly Pink Diamond reincarnated. Healing: Steven has the power to heal animals and plants, as well as repair Gems and inanimate objects. He is shown to be capable of healing cracked gemstones as seen when he healed Lapis Lazuli in "Ocean Gem". He can also heal common human injuries and conditions, seen when he healed Connie's eyesight in "An Indirect Kiss" and Greg's broken leg in "House Guest". In "The Test", Pearl remarks to the other Crystal Gems that he has lost his healing ability and that their test should hopefully increase his confidence and therefore prevent him from losing any other abilities. In "Monster Reunion", Steven's healing abilities came back to heal Master of Ceremonies Bear Bear, showing conclusively that his powers affect inanimate objects, and can partially heal the Centipeetle Mother. In "Bubbled", Steven successfully heals "Eyeball"'s cracked gem. He generally applies this healing saliva directly by licking his hand and placing it on the injury, but a comment by a Ruby in "Volleyball" suggests he will sometimes use a kiss. Resurrection: Like his mother, Steven possesses the ability to resurrect the dead with his magic tears. The recipient turns pink and gains special abilities, such as the ability to grant access to the Pink Dimension through their hair as well as an extremely slowed metabolism and heart rate. Two known cases of this are Lion and Lars. Corruption Reversal: As demonstrated on Nephrite in "Legs From Here to Homeworld", Steven, along with Blue Diamond, Yellow Diamond, can temporarily reverse the effects of the Corrupting Light on Gems. And it's shown in "Change Your Mind" that they can heal the effects permanently when all four diamonds sit in Rose's Fountain together with the corrupted Gems. Shatter Reversal: As shown in "Fragments", Steven, along with the rest of the Diamonds' essence, is able to completely repair a shattered Gem. Self Healing: As displayed in "Growing Pains", Steven endured a lot of physical trauma during his adventures, and an x-ray reveals that his injuries had already been repaired. Phytoanimation: Like his mother, Steven possesses limited control and influence over plant life. Using his healing saliva, Steven can grow sentient and sapient flora by licking plant seeds. All seeds that Steven licks can fully grow in less than a day. These plants apparently don't need soil, water, or sunlight to grow as seen in "Watermelon Steven" where they grow on the dry pavement overnight. In that same episode, Steven discovers he can grow watermelons shaped like himself. They act as his bodyguards, but they are not directly under his control, and the Watermelon Stevens ignore his orders and attack whoever they think is threatening him, suggesting that he does not have full mastery of this ability thus far. It seems that this has changed, as once Pumpkin was brought to life, it was completely non-hostile and possessed its own opinions of others. It is also possible that, in the case of Pumpkin, Steven had full knowledge of the ability and thus control over it, whereas in the case of the Watermelon Stevens, it was accidental. It is unknown if this is a unique ability or an extension of the Diamonds' ability to bring life. Pebble Animation: As demonstrated in "Familiar", Steven's sweat can turn inanimate pebbles into living Pebbles. StevenBubble Steven's bubble on its own.

   Bubble Shield: Steven can summon an incredibly durable bubble, as shown in "Bubble Buddies". The bubble encases him and others that he is protecting. In "Sworn to the Sword", it is shown that Steven is capable of summoning it reflexively, as he instinctively summons his bubble to protect himself and Connie due to his wariness of Holo-Pearls as a result of the events in "Steven the Sword Fighter". In "Nightmare Hospital", it is shown that Steven can expand his bubble to push away enemies. In "I Am My Mom", Steven used his bubble to free himself and his friends from Topaz, though it required a great deal of concentration to do so. In "Bubble Buddies" and "Bubbled", it is implied that the bubble can generate its internal atmosphere, as Steven and Connie could survive in the bubble for hours despite it being airtight and Steven is even able to breathe inside one he had just generated in the vacuum of space. While the bubble is incredibly durable, it is better at withstanding short, narrow bursts of pressure, such as being hit with a harpoon, than a large amount of pressure constantly being applied over a large area of the bubble, such as in "Nightmare Hospital", when the Gem Mutants hit Steven's bubble, the pressure causes little ripples to spread across the bubble, and in "Gem Hunt", when a corrupted Ocean Jasper stomped on his bubble with enough force to cause it to lose its circular shape and pop. This was most likely Steven intentionally allowing the bubble to become malleable so that it would pop instead of shatter so that he and Connie would be thrown away instead of crushed by the monster. The bubble could also be shattered, as demonstrated by a corrupted Biggs Japer shattering it after exerting massive amounts of pressure on it. Shape Alteration: Steven can change the size of his bubble, as well as change its shape from a sphere into a variety of other shapes - for instance, causing sharp spikes to appear along its surface, or stretching it to encompass and protect other people. The versatility of this ability has increased as Steven has grown, and is fully on display during his battle with Spinel in Steven Universe: The Movie. Bubble Gloves: Steven can create small, hard bubbles around his fists like boxing gloves, enhancing the strength of his punches and his ability to block attacks. Popping: Steven can "pop" his bubble to knock surrounding enemies back, as seen in "Nightmare Hospital", where he knocked much larger Gem mutants back by popping his bubble. His bubble will also pop if he is startled, as seen in "Sworn to the Sword", when Pearl startles Steven, or if immense pressure is applied to the bubble, as seen in "Gem Hunt" when the Snow Monster popped Steven's bubble by stomping on it. The extent of the bubble's durability is unknown, although it has survived most of the following: The tremendous pressure of an ocean trench ("Bubble Buddies"). Being crushed by a falling injector ("On the Run"). A spaceship crash ("Jail Break", "Jungle Moon"). The entire Gem Warship detonating ("Jail Break"). Empathic Telepathy:[4] In "Horror Club", Steven can sense the Lighthouse Gem Monster's presence as well as its emotional state. In the episode "Chille Tid", it is shown that Steven can communicate with Gems through his dreams. Steven talks to Lapis Lazuli mentally as he was dreaming. He also saw Jasper and Malachite in the same dream at Malachite's Realm and they noticed him as well. Steven was later shown in "Gem Drill" to be able to communicate with a distressed Cluster while it was struggling to form. In "Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service", he helps Kiki battle her inner demons in her dreams. This ability has primarily come to light while other beings are under emotional turmoil. "Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service" shows with Kiki that Steven can also enter the dreams of other humans, but also that repeated use of this power can physically exhaust him, as sleeping in this state seems to provide no restful benefit that would otherwise be gained from typical sleep. In "Steven's Dream", he shows a strange development of this ability, in being able to subconsciously see through the eyes of Blue Diamond, while crying her tears. This can even happen when he's awake, if in close enough proximity to her, though this may be a result of Blue Diamond's empathetic powers seen in "The Trial". In "Together Alone", Steven dreams that his mother juggles, then coughs up her hair; the nightmare then reveals the likeness of White Diamond. In "Change Your Mind", another nightmare has the Diamonds directly attack Steven, which causes him to change between himself, Rose Quartz, and Pink Diamond. Mind Transfer: First shown in "Super Watermelon Island", when he can take control of a Watermelon Steven, Steven can transfer his consciousness into another living being he has a connection with while his own body is asleep. The true mind of the host body lays dormant while he is in control of it. The full extent of this ability is unknown. In "The New Lars", Steven is shown to be able to possess someone (in this instance Lars) he thinks about while he sleeps. It is shown in the episode "Escapism" that this ability is strong enough to reach from Homeworld to Earth, which is likely many lightyears away. Mind Link: First shown in "Steven's Dream", Steven can link his mind with another being. This power allows Steven to feel the target's emotions and see the world through their eyes. For example, if the target is crying, Steven will cry as well, regardless of his current emotional state. When Steven sleeps, his dream will be whatever the target is looking at. Steven does not have to willingly link minds with a person for this power to work since he did not originally know his mind was linked with Blue Diamond. Psychometry/Retrocognition: First shown in "Jungle Moon", when fused with Connie as Stevonnie. He can relive moments experienced by his mother Pink Diamond, either as an observer or as Pink Diamond herself. This only occurs when he is sleeping somewhere of great significance to his mother. When fused, the subjects of these memories can appear as amalgamations of figures both components consider to be similar. Steven is unaware of the nature of the memories at first, and it can sometimes take him a while to realize he's reliving Pink Diamond's experiences. In "Can't Go Back", he observes the shadows of the Diamonds and even Pearl. In "Together Alone" and "Change Your Mind", he sees things as Pink Diamond. Astral Projection: It is shown in "Reunited" that if Steven is knocked out hard enough, his mind will go into an astral dimension while his body remains comatose. While in this state, he cannot interact or communicate with anyone in the physical world unless he phases through them. It is unknown how Steven can return to the physical world on his own. Steven used this new ability to inspire his teammates to keep fighting and convince the Diamonds to halt their attack. Electrical Interference: In "Maximum Capacity", Steven appeared to be able to control Greg's TV based upon his emotion. For instance, when he was shocked, the television went to static. In the episode "In Dreams", his dreams were projected onto the TV in his bedroom, confirming this to be a power of his. This ability appears to originate from his telepathy interfering with nearby radio signals. Speed of Descent Regulation: As shown in "Steven Floats", Steven, like Rose, can levitate his body and even manipulate its gravity based on his emotions. When he thinks happy thoughts, he floats slowly to the ground, while when he is sad or angry, he descends much quicker. While floating slowly, anything he touches will also float just as slowly, no matter how large. This also allows him to jump higher than normal, having to be able to jump up to the temple's face and even above the clouds. It was first seen in "Rose's Scabbard" as Steven leaps to a floating land island to reach Pearl, however, her turning to suddenly look at him causes him to break in concentration and fall to catch himself on the island's roots. Steven is shown to have some control over his powers in "Steven vs. Amethyst" and in "Monster Reunion" when he easily leaps up to get to Nephrite's bubble and safely descend again. He displays his ability to jump extreme distances again in "Steven's Dream", when attempting to catch Blue Diamond's ship, but is blasted back by the ship taking off. Numerous times in Steven Universe Future he has shown to have mastered the ability to the extent that he can all but fly, hovering in the air and even jumping off his own shield to ricochet around as seen in his fight against jasper. "Fragments" shows that in his pink state he can hover. Steven Universe (Modelsheet Pink) by RylerGamerDBS Steven in his pink state.

   Pink State: According to Priyanka Maheswaran because Steven experienced a great deal of physical and emotional trauma from his numerous adventures and ordeals during his childhood, it affected his body's ability to respond to minor stress normally. As a result, Steven's body began reacting to new stress as if he was in a life-or-death situation. This response manifested as a defense mechanism known as pink state. This first manifested during his training with Jasper in "Little Homeschool". In this state, Steven's body (except his clothes) glows pink, and his strength, speed, and destructive energy output became tremendous. Steven in this state was able to easily outmatch Jasper in a fight - for instance, knocking her through many large trees with one bubble-enhanced punch, and even shattering her - as well as do significant damage to the walls of The Reef just by shouting. However, Steven had little to no control over this state; he entered it automatically when angry or when he experienced anxiety, and it put him at risk of accidentally hurting people near him. During his training with Jasper, he managed to maintain this state for a prolonged period of time and gain some control, during which he gained a greater degree of strength and a change in personality. However, he eventually lost all self-restraint as a result, enjoying the thrill of the battle and actually shattering Jasper. The ability of the pink state appeared to also extend to abilities of fusions as well, as demonstrated by Smoky Quartz in "Guidance". So far, the demonstrated abilities have been: Enhanced Speed: Heightened overall speed and great accuracy when moving at this speed. It has been used to combat Jasper, Bluebird, "Eyeball", and Aquamarine all of whom could not keep up. He can also move so quickly that time is nearly standing still. This ability is demonstrated in "Fragments" when he runs away from the Crystal Gems or races against Jasper. Smoky Quartz is demonstrated to also be able to use this power as in "Guidance". Enhanced Strength: Increased physical strength capable of shattering several large trees. The physical power varies. When facing Jasper or when angry at The Reef, Steven demonstrated incredible power far beyond his natural strength. When facing Bluebird, Steven didn't appear to strike them as hard while still hitting hard enough to knock his opponent(s) around. Enhanced Agility: Heightened agility and bodily coordination. During his training with Jasper, Steven used his shields to jump off while they were in the air. Sonic Scream: A scream that, in Pink Pearl's own words, "could shatter the walls." As seen in the episode "Volleyball", this scream is powerful enough to almost completely ruin the Reef, create a large crater beneath him, break many lights and crack the walls. In the episode "I Am My Monster", in his monster form as his spikes glow, Steven roars to make a crack on the ground of the ocean beneath him, pushing his friends and his father, and even knocking out the Diamond Mech. Much like how the other Diamonds powers inverted to more cooperative and benign forms when they viewed their role and self differently, this power may be the reverse happening to Steven, his healing and protection powers becoming harmful and destructive. PinkStateFullShield Steven's hexagonal shields interlocking.

   Barrier Creation: A powerful shield dome that can close inwards, and only releases once Steven calms down and comes to terms with his anxiety. It is different from the bubble shield in that it appears as a series of interlocked diamond shapes that disappear in groups when deactivated. When it first manifested, it demonstrated the ability to carve through several solid objects, slicing them apart at the impact. Bodily Size Manipulation: Uncontrollable manipulation of his own body proportions. Steven's body stretches, grows, and swells up when he is under emotional stress. "Growing Pains" highlights Steven's uncontrollable body alterations during his checkup with Dr. Priyanka Maheswaran, when she examines Steven's height, he grows a bit taller, then returns to normal, but then his neck stretches up high, and when he remembers Connie rejecting his proposal, Steven grows and swells up to the point he fills out an entire hospital room. This seems to only occurs when he is anxious and overwhelmed but when Steven remains in his pink state for prolong periods of time, he grows taller and gets more muscular, as shown in "Fragments" and "Everything's Fine". Hexagonal Force-Fields: Hexagonal pink shields that are capable of completely repelling boulders thrown by a strong fighter such as Jasper. Steven can stack a number of them to make a thicker one or wall of them, or protrude spikes from them that can be thrown with enough force to completely shatter a gem. He can also summon these shields in his normal form as seen in "Homeworld Bound". Power Augmentation: Steven's powers are enhanced to the point they became more potent. Descent Regulation: When Steven is upset, his body becomes more heavy. As shown in "Together Forever", after becoming depressed, Steven laid on the beach as his body created a crater. Flight/Levitation: When Steven is feeling joy or ecstatic, he can propel himself in the air and fly. As shown in "Fragments", Steven can remain hovering in the air, propell himself, ascend and/or descend as he wishes. Empathic Telepathy: As shown in "Everything's Fine", Steven can broadcast his subconscious even while awake, without the need to sleep, as his TV showed him tearing off the steering wheel during his argument with his father, shattering Jasper, and his intrusive thought of slamming White's head against a pillar. Steven even broadcasted his subconscious to Connie's phone, which showed Steven himself saying "Steven's here to help." with the message distorting to sound like "Help Steven" in a way that tells Connie, Greg, and the Crystal Gems that Steven needs help. Phytoanimation: Steven giving life to plants can make said plants become aggressive versions of Steven. "Everything's Fine" shows when Steven places his saliva on a torn flower, several plant copies of Steven burst out of the greenhouse. Attack the Light Steven acts as the support character in Steven Universe: Attack the Light. He is unable to be damaged and carries the items for the team. He sports the most moves in the whole team. However, none of his moves cause damage, except for the counter for Bubble Shield.

   Encourage: A move Steven has from the start. Steven encourages one of the Crystal Gems, healing them by 10 Harmony. Upgrades to this move increase the healing amount by 5 each time, ending up as a maximum of 30 Harmony. This move takes 2 Star Points and is best used as a substitute in a battle for items. Bubble Shield: Steven uses his bubble shield to encase a Gem in it, protecting them from 1 hit. When the counter in the bubble, the enemy that is attacking takes damage, provided that the strike was a melee. Upgrades to this move decrease the Star Point cost from 2 to 1. Escape: The name says it all. This move costs 4 Star Points and gives the Gems a chance to escape. Upgrades to this move increase escape chances and reduce the cost to 3 Star Points. Use only in dire circumstances. Ukulele: Steven uses his ukulele to play a song that has a variety of effects depending on the song. Each one must be unlocked separately. Cure Song: Costs 3 Star Points and cures everyone's status conditions. Best used if everyone is afflicted with status and you do not have a Feel great Tea. Defense Song: Boosts everyone's Defense. Costs 3 Star Points. Strong Song: Buffs everyone's Attack. Costs 5 Star Points. It is better to use the Get Beefy Song unless everyone is fully healed and you do not have enough Star Points. Lucky Song: Buffs everyone's Luck and costs 4 Star Points. Get Beefy Song: The best song. It boosts everyone's Attack and heals everyone fully. Costs 7 Star Points. Cheeseburger Backpack: Where Steven stores the items. Steven has this move from the start but it is unusable until you get an item. Steven uses an item that does an effect depending on which item it is. Certain items, like gemstones and Level Up Charms, cannot be used in battle. This move costs 0 Star Points but can only be used once per turn. Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers Steven is the most durable character in Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers. However, he is one of the slowest and can not jump high. He is unlocked on the first level and will gradually gain more abilities as he levels up. His basic attack is creating a large bubble in front of him that will offensively pop to damage enemies. He can either repeatedly create and pop these bubbles in rapid succession, or charge one bubble to have the pop deal more damage and break shields, however, this makes the bubble take longer to pop.

   Shield: Steven can summon his shield for protection from enemy attacks. It surrounds his body until the special meter runs out. Laser Light Cannon: This is Steven's most powerful attack. Steven summons the Laser Light Cannon and fires it in the direction he is facing for a powerful long-range attack. This attack consumes energy from the special meter, however. Super Move: When Steven gets a Walky Talky power-up, he can summon Alexandrite to shoot a beam of energy, damaging all enemies on screen. Limited Invincibility: When Steven grabs a Cookie Cat power-up, he will be invincible to all enemy attacks for a short amount of time. Save the Light In Save the Light, Steven retains all of his abilities in Attack the Light (barring the Escape option) and has some new abilities. In this game, he can take battle damage and get knocked out, but now, he can fight and has 2 damaging attacks: the Shield Dash is his basic attack where he dashes toward his target with his shield over his arm, damaging enemies in his path and knocking them back, and the Super Duper Shield Dash, a stronger version of the regular Shield Dash that does higher damage, double knockback, and is GUARANTEED to give lucky strikes; however, this ability is difficult to unlock. He can even use his Encouragement ability on himself to heal himself whenever he has taken damage (self-encouragement)!

   Smoky Quartz: Steven and Amethyst can fuse into Smoky Quartz at any time. As Smoky, they can use the attacks, My Adoring Fans, and Show Off. Stevonnie: Steven and Connie can fuse into Stevonnie at any time. Unleash the Light In Unleash the Light, Steven retains many of his abilities from Save the Light. However this time his damaging move has been changed to Shield Throw, where he can target multiple enemies and throw his shield at them, damaging any enemy along its path.

   Rainbow Quartz 2.0: Steven and Pearl can fuse into Rainbow Quartz 2.0 once the Teamwork gauge is full. Sunstone: Steven and Garnet can fuse into Sunstone once the Teamwork gauge is full. Obsidian: Steven, Amethyst, Garnet, and Pearl can fuse into Obsidian once the Teamwork gauge has filled over twice, indicated by a brown hue on Steven's gem icon with fire surrounding it. Giant Shield: Steven holds up a giant version of his shield, which blocks any attack from enemies facing that side. The shield covers himself and any teammate that fits into the range of his shield, which depends on his position in the formation. The ability is only available once the Teamwork gauge is full. Weaknesses Unique/Hybrid Physiology: Steven inherits vulnerabilities from both the Gem and human sides of his family — for instance, he is dependent on his gemstone but also needs to sustain and take care of his body. When White Diamond removed his gemstone in "Change Your Mind", he was split into two separate entities embodying his half-human, half-Gem nature: his human half was extremely weak while his Gem half lacked self-restraint and both halves sought to reunite with each other. Power-control Loss: He often has little to no control over his Gem abilities which tend to fluctuate erratically from time to time such as when Greg faked his leg still being broken in "House Guest" and cost him his healing powers until "Monster Reunion", much to Pearl's anger and dismay. It is later learned that his abilities are tied to his moods: if Steven is happy, he has access to the majority of his powers, but if he is greatly disturbed, they either malfunction or fail entirely. As stated before, if struck repeatedly by the rejuvenator, he is rendered powerless unless he can piece himself back together. In Steven Universe Future, he enters a supercharged state similar to his Gem-half when fighting Jasper. Afterwards, this goes out of control when feeling extreme emotions. Personality: Throughout most of the series, Steven's greatest weakness was his immaturity. Despite being brave, caring, intelligent and quick-thinking, he often let his youth, naivety, optimism and excitability get the better of him, only causing problems or making them worse rather than fixing them. This aspect faded as he matured and became stronger and less excitable. However, he still retained the tendency to try and look on the brighter side of situations and act as a bigger person. There have been many times where Steven was trying to make friends out of enemies — although his attempts have backfired on multiple occasions — while other times, along with his inherited gemstone, led many others to mistake him for his mother or a reincarnation of her. In the movie adaptation of the show, his desire for a "happily ever after" led to Spinel renewing her assault which he only realized when she had him within an inch of his life. He was shown to have inherited his mother's overbearing, controlling nature and tendency to run from personal problems by focusing on others as seen in Steven Universe Future which also showcases Steven's emotional outbursts that cause power surges and even damage to his surroundings as an aspect of his mother's behavior revealed earlier in "Volleyball". Additionally, Steven has only just begun to realize the magnitude of the countless dangers he was exposed to while living with the Gems and throughout the entire series, resulting in him turning into a giant monster. Components When Steven's gemstone is removed from his body, he splits into two entities: one only human, the other only Gem. The split parts are described as being only half of a being when apart and that they're two halves of a whole. The two Stevens can re-fuse to recreate Steven's hybrid self. If the Stevens were kept apart, each would be focused only on seeking their other half and becoming whole again.[5] It's also described that it's impossible for them to exist apart and that it feels horrible for them, and that they're just meant to be one person. It's also revealed that if either part were to die, the other would too.[6]

   “ No... Please, I... I need... I need it...

   ” —"Change Your Mind" Steven's human half is physically weak without his gemstone, unable to stand unsupported and he may be completely unable to survive without it. He possesses Steven's compassion and humanity as shown when he demands his Gem counterpart to stop hurting White Diamond and the Gems under her control.

   Gem Pink Steven (White's Head Palette) By TheOffColors Steven's Gem-half.

   “ White Diamond: What is this? Where is Pink?! She's gone. White Diamond: What did you say? Answer me! She's GOOONE!

   ” —"Change Your Mind" Steven's gemstone projects a form that looks like a pink-colored version of Steven's human body and speaks in his voice after cycling through the forms of his mother. This Gem version of Steven is insistent that he is not Pink Diamond. He has Steven's Gem abilities and his shield and bubble have the appearance of pink gemstone facets. He displays impressive power reminiscent of Steven's pink state, being able to shake and crack the floor of White Diamond's ship just by yelling and completely block her mind-control beams. He expresses no emotion most of the time but briefly emotes on a few occasions: he yells at White Diamond that Pink Diamond is gone, slightly frowns in concern for his human counterpart when he sees him fall. In his state, he also doesn't blink at all and has very stiff moments and proceeds to walk on air when the ground is removed below him. When he is in contact with his human half, he seems to be able to emote fully again. He blinks and has a huge smile and laughs when they are reunited.

   Relationships Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond “ For my whole life, I've been hearing stories about you. About how amazing you were, that you were so kind and loving. And every time I'd see that painting of you hanging in the Temple, I'd be inspired and reminded of how much I had to live up to.

   ” —Steven, "Storm in the Room" An Indirect Kiss 145 Steven sitting beneath a statue of Rose.

   Rose is Steven's mother, although he has never met with her face-to-face since she gave up her physical form to create him, he has shown great interest in her and her past. Rose's absence left a particular void in Steven's life, having to grow up without his mother. Steven is therefore unsure of what to feel about her despite wanting to, which is rather difficult for him as everyone else knows how to feel about her. As put by Steven himself in "Steven Floats", his feelings for his mother are complicated. Regardless, Steven is willing to defend Rose, like when he snapped at Lars for insulting her.

   After Steven had got to see the videotape Rose had left him in "Lion 3: Straight to Video", he was moved to tears when she expresses her love for him and grows more curious about the person Rose was. When Steven is sometimes troubled by the burden of being a Crystal Gem, he takes solace in continuing Rose's legacy by protecting the world like she wanted him to. As revealed in "Steven vs. Amethyst" though, he has doubts that he cannot measure up to Rose's greatness, which is why he works diligently to become a worthy successor to her legacy. He has also developed a habit of clutching his gemstone when he has something on his mind, possibly to seek support from Rose.

   Steven harbors great feelings of guilt over Rose giving up her "life" to give birth to him. He keeps this hidden deep down inside of him and rarely expresses it. One notable exception is in "Joy Ride" where he confesses to the Cool Kids that he suspects that the Crystal Gems are blaming him for Rose not being around anymore, shocking the teenagers. He has also felt that he will never live up to the standard set by his mother in the eyes of the other Gems and is one of the reasons he is training harder to master his powers and combat skills. In "Earthlings", he tells Amethyst that it sucks not being like anybody, expressing his frustration of not being as powerful or skilled as his mother.

   It is also shown, in many episodes, that Steven, being unsure if he is actually his own person or simply a reincarnation of Rose, feels guilt and takes blame for his mother's actions feeling that he deserves them.

   Mindful Education 314 Steven's guilt and fear manifesting in the form of his mother as a result of all those both hurt while fused with Connie as Stevonnie.

   "Back to the Moon" and "Bubbled" cause Steven to have even more doubt on what he thinks about Rose after learning she shattered Pink Diamond during the Rebellion, first mentioned by "Eyeball", then confirmed by Garnet later on. In "Mindful Education", one of Stevonnie's hallucinations is the giant head of Rose Quartz staring down menacingly at them, further highlighting Steven's doubts on what he should think of his mother.

   “ I've learned things about you. Things you wanted to keep secret. You locked Bismuth away inside Lion, because she wanted to shatter Gems, and you never told Garnet or Pearl. But then you shattered Pink Diamond. Now all of Homeworld has it out for Earth, and the Crystal Gems, and me! You put us all in danger and you just... disappeared! I finally know the truth. I know what you are: You're a liar! I thought you never wanted to hurt anyone, but you hurt everyone! How could you just leave Garnet, and Amethyst, and Pearl, a-and Dad? They don't know what to do without you! Maybe they didn't matter to you as much as hiding from the mess you made! And that's why I'm here, isn't it? Did you make me just so you wouldn't have to deal with all your mistakes? Is that all I'm here for?

   ” —Steven, "Storm in the Room" Storm in the Room 198 Steven lamenting about Rose's mistakes to her manifestation.

   This doubt Steven feels towards Rose is further developed in "Storm in the Room", where he feels uncomfortable by Rose's painting in the Temple. Steven is fully aware that the Gems have portrayed Rose as a perfect and loving being, but he knows there is much more to her. He enters Rose's Room to get answers and has the room create a manifestation of Rose for this purpose. In the room, Steven is initially nervous about being around Rose but gets along with her as they participate in activities such as playing video games and football. Steven feels nothing but joy that he can finally be with his mother and even gets emotional. But he soon realizes that the room made Rose exactly how the Gems portrayed her to be: the perfect, loving being. This is because Steven wants Rose to be that way. However, he once again realizes that he wants to learn about Rose's darker side, which brings out how he's been feeling about Rose.

   “ Steven is really going to have to turn inward and face himself. Throughout the show, he's put everyone else first, and his main goal has been to become the person his family wants him to be. That's got to shift. He's got to accept that it's impossible to fill the shoes of his mother, Rose Quartz. She was always barefoot.

   ” —Rebecca Sugar in an interview[7] Storm in the Room 236 Steven hugging Rose's manifestation.

   Rose then reassures Steven that she didn't make Steven just so she didn't have to deal with her guilt and that the tape she left him is proof that she wanted him and let him exist. Steven then understands and realizes that Rose didn't make him to just be a scapegoat. However, he is still paranoid about her and her secrets as seen in "Lion 4: Alternate Ending". In "Are You My Dad?" and "I Am My Mom" he comes to a resolution about his feelings for Rose when he gives himself up as Rose Quartz to Aquamarine to both save his friends to atone for both their actions that led up to that point. In "The Trial", he pleads guilty even knowing that he would be shattered/executed, feeling that he was responsible for Rose's actions and deserved to suffer her punishment.

   “ Mom was Pink Diamond.

   ” —Steven, in "A Single Pale Rose" Shapeshifting into Pink Steven surprised when he learns the truth that his mother was Pink Diamond.

   After it was revealed in "A Single Pale Rose" that Pink Diamond created Rose Quartz as an alias to escape her duties and protect the Earth, Steven admits to Amethyst in "What's Your Problem?" that he is lost and confused about the revelation. He is relieved that his mother never shattered anyone but is troubled by the extent of her deception and how it has hurt the Crystal Gems. In "Now We're Only Falling Apart" Steven tells Sapphire that Pink Diamond didn't get hurt as Pearl revealed that Pink wanted to scare Homeworld from Earth.

   “ Steven: I feel... confused. I-I thought I'd really finally got it. That Mom didn't have everything figured out, even though everybody put her way up on this pedestal, but... now I guess she's royalty too? [..] I'm relieved that she didn't shatter anyone, but... She lied to everyone. I mean... I'm not surprised. I knew she was a liar. But this is just... so much. Amethyst: But, like... Aren't you mad? Steven: Kind of? I don't know... I can see how she was good and bad... and bad and good. But I... I guess what really matters right now is how hard Garnet took it.

   ” —Steven and Amethyst, "What's Your Problem?" In "Familiar", Steven starts to realize that the experiences his mother went through on Homeworld are similar to what he went through when he was younger, leading him to sympathize with her more. In "Together Alone", when Steven takes his mother's old throne for his mother's legacy, Pink Diamond will be very proud of him.

   "Change Your Mind" shows Steven fully coming to terms with his mother after White Diamond extracts his gem and he re-fuses with Gem Steven, realizing that he has always been himself. And even though he still disagrees with her methods to save Earth by betraying her fellow Diamonds and starting a war with them in secret, he also acknowledges that they are too dysfunctional to be reasoned with to the point where everything she did for them amounted to nothing. He even stands up on her behalf against the Authority, finally forgiving her for the hardships she unintentionally put him through because he understands that she had been through the same before.

   SU Movie 130 Steven's sings about how he used to believe he would always live in the shadow of Rose and Pink Diamond.

   In Steven Universe: The Movie, Steven expresses disappointment towards her after finding out about her abandoning Spinel. Despite initially being shocked at this revelation he states that he can indeed believe it, given that Spinel is not the only one she wronged, though he doesn't hold it against her, not forgetting that she also suffered before and after what she did to her friend.

   “ Stop it! I can't deal with one more horrible thing she did, okay?! [...] I don't want to hear about it! I don't even want to think about it! [...] I just... want to fix it!

   ” —Steven, "Volleyball" In "Rose Buds", Steven's feelings about his mother are shown to remain complicated and are reignited by meeting the Rose Quartzes. His resentment over her misdeeds is further shown in "Volleyball" in which Steven expresses fury over continuously having to deal with Pink/Rose's mistakes, denouncing her actions as "horrible". This reveals that Steven has disliked being compared to his mother since the reveal and resents having to carry on her legacy to the point of self-loathing.

   This self-loathing carries through the rest of Future, where Steven's respect for his mother has dropped to the point where he tries not to be anything like his mother or compared to her at all to the point in "Mr. Universe", Steven becomes angry and loses respect for his father after he deems Greg to be "just like (Rose)", discovering that they had similar backstories in running away from dysfunctional households, even losing sympathy for the abuse his mom went through and ignoring that she still tried her best to improve herself and not be like the other Diamonds.

   Ultimately, in "Everything's Fine", the realization that he is becoming worse than his mother (compared to her faults) leads him to become a monster.

   As of "The Future", it is uncertain how he currently feels about his mother. It is possible that he has once more come to terms with his mother's past actions, judging from his improved attitude towards Greg (despite his similarities to the former). However, this remains unspecified.

   Greg Universe “ Anyway, what's up? Just needed to see your old man, pal around, learn some lessons about life?

   ” —Greg, "Laser Light Cannon" SU Movie 160 Steven and Greg laughing over Pearl's mispronunciation of "bass".

   Greg Universe is Steven's father. As seen in "Laser Light Cannon" and "Cat Fingers", they share a very strong father-son relationship, and Greg is always emotionally supportive. Although Greg does not live with Steven, they often hang out. In "House Guest", it is shown that Steven and his father used to live together, but when Steven grew older, he moved in with the Crystal Gems for them to teach him about "magical Gem stuff" - something his father can't do. However, even though Greg believes that Steven is safe in the Crystal Gems' care, he is still slightly apprehensive about Steven going on missions and getting involved in "Gem stuff", which he tries to avoid if Steven brings it up, although there are some instances in which he has joined the Gems in solving problems.

   Unlike the Crystal Gems, Greg does not seem too concerned about Rose giving up her life as Steven inheriting her "Gem identity" - other than the latter getting Steven into situations that Greg does not approve of. As such he treats him much more like his person, and Steven does not seem to feel any guilt towards Rose's "death" when he is with his father. This is likely because as a human, Greg is much more familiar and comfortable with the idea of offspring as well as death, concepts which are strange and unfamiliar to the asexual and nigh-immortal Gems.

   House Guest 062 Steven and Greg singing together.

   As a result, Steven is very comfortable and relaxed whenever he is in the presence of his dad as he provides a link to the human world, away from "magical Gem stuff". He also looks to Greg for advice on life, Gem affairs, and the like. Greg is Steven's main go-to for help on regular human affairs, and Greg understands how to help Steven in ways the Gems can't, such as in "Steven's Birthday" when he takes baby Steven for a drive to calm him down, just as he'd done before, and in "Gemcation" when he comforts Steven over his fear that his friendship with Connie is ruined.

   However, despite being a window into the human world, Greg often considers Steven a gem and excludes him from certain human things. Steven feels left out and feels uncomfortable not being seen as a human too. This can be seen with how Greg excludes Steven from the "human beings" group that Greg offered to Connie as a person to talk to when Gem related things are overwhelming, as seen in "We Need To Talk" and "Steven's Birthday". Later on, Greg also justifies Steven's lack of human upbringing mentioning how he's a gem, when Steven gets upset at not having his health checked up or having structure or school, after repeatedly feeling out of touch with the world around him during Era 3 during Steven Universe Future.

   In "Change Your Mind", the first thing Steven does when he gets home is rush to hug Greg, knocking him onto the ground out of pure joy and happiness to be reunited with his father once more.

   SU Movie 1159 Steven and Greg doing their Fusion Dance to form Steg.

   In Steven Universe: The Movie, he's bonded enough with his father to fuse with him effortlessly, despite being weakened, becoming Steg.

   In "Bluebird", Steven is enraged when Bluebird Azurite takes Greg hostage and cuts off his own hair to escape. He calmly tells his father to go inside before losing it to the fusion. He then comforts his father over the loss of his hair.

   Growing Pains 214 Greg comforting Steven.

   In "Growing Pains", Steven reaches out to his father to tell him about his failed proposal to Connie only to change his mind when he hears how busy his father is, not wanting to be a burden. Greg later rushes to the hospital when Connie calls him to tell him that she's worried about Steven and begs his son to talk to him, eventually calming him down enough to where he returns to normal size after growing enormous from recalling his trauma. Upon returning home, Greg comforts his son and assures him that mistakes are a part of life and that he will be there for his son when he needs him.

   Mr. Universe 176 Steven ignoring Greg while being disappointed in him.

   However, the following episode, "Mr. Universe" shows a sour change in their relationship. Steven opens up about not knowing what to do with his life and Greg suggests a road trip to help Steven figure himself out. After they decide to hit the road together, Greg insists on breaking into his parents' home despite Steven's protests, causing Steven to be distressed at the break in since Greg doesn't explain what he's doing. Steven finds out on his own that it's Greg's old home and, from his perspective, is surprised to know how normal his father's life was. Steven laments how human Greg's upbringing was, missing his socialisation, structure and mundane activities. However Greg disagrees on this, mentioning his lack of freedom and choices he had living with his parents and that he was unhappy with this.

   Later Greg lets Steven drive the van, explaining he should have the freedom of choice. However conflicts escalates as Greg insists on listening to music, ignoring Steven trying to interrupt the song when he wants to talk, and forces Steven to listen to it again, ironically not respecting Steven's wishes. Steven finally stops his dad and begins to talk about what bothers him.

   When Steven mentions his own trauma regarding Homeworld and the Diamonds and how he feels neglected of a normal life, thereby envying Greg's human life, Greg counters by saying that Steven had it better than him, which causes Steven to turn pink and have an outburst. It's at this point that Steven realizes Greg is similar to his mom, having run away from a strict, abusive upbringing but in turn has his choices in life affect Steven's upbringing having a lack of structure and exposed to trauma. Greg explains this upbringing is because Steven is a gem, but Steven disagrees and says it's because he's a Universe. The outburst causes the van to crash.

   Steven feels like his dad doesn't understand him and repeatedly dismisses his issues, which is further cemented when Greg completely misses the point after the outburst and after the car crash tells Steven that he's proud of him and begins to talk in length about his courage of standing up to him. Steven realises his dad still doesn't understand him and begins to ignore him, deleting a picture he'd taken of his middle school photo and demonstrating a loss of respect for Greg.

   In "Everything's Fine", Steven expresses shame and regret in scorning Greg, along with getting away with shattering Jasper and attempting to murder White Diamond. The weight of his cruel actions ultimately resulted in him having a meltdown, becoming a monster both mentally and physically.

   In "I Am My Monster", Greg comes to a realization that whenever Gem stuff happens, he runs away and that Steven has every right to be angry since he didn't protect him. After coming to this realization, he does everything in his power to help Steven turn back to normal, telling him that whatever he needs, he'll make it happen.

   The Future 122 Steven hugging Greg before leaving.

   As of "The Future", Steven and Greg have reconciled during the months following the former's meltdown, and Steven has regained enough respect for his father to ask him for advice again. Before moving out, Steven offers to let Greg move into his room in the beach house, and gives him a Kerry Moonbeam poster as a goodbye gift.

   Pearl “ Well, I think you're pretty great.

   ” —Steven towards Pearl, "Rose's Scabbard" Rose's Scabbard 192 Steven hugging Pearl.

   Pearl acts more like an overprotective mother (since he is Rose's child) to Steven. Pearl harbors mixed feelings for Steven deep down; while she cares deeply for Steven she also misses his mother very much, as they were very close to each other when she was still alive. However, she shows a deeper affection than most for Steven, admitting to watching Steven once he has fallen asleep. She sees much of his mother in him, as Steven becomes a constant reminder of Rose, which is a bittersweet sentiment to Pearl. These feelings come to the surface in "Rose's Scabbard" where the revelation that Rose had kept secrets from Pearl, her closest friend, and confidant, causes Pearl to break down mentally and run away from Steven and the other Crystal Gems. When Steven pursues her, she shows inward signs of resentment towards him and Lion, which culminates in her apparent inaction when Steven misses a jump and almost falls to his doom. The two reconcile at the end of the episode, but as revealed in "Joy Ride" Steven felt uncomfortable talking about his mother with the other Crystal Gems for a time, having believed that they partly blamed him for Rose's absence. However, Steven does still feel comfortable enough to talk to Pearl about his problems in "Historical Friction". He unknowingly comforts her in stating that flaws are important to everyone and asks her to tell the real story of William Dewey. During the play, he waves to her while she is encouraging him. When he learns that Pearls are made as servants on Homeworld, he declares that she is not common, but she is amazing and tries to be better than she already is as said in "Back to the Barn".

   Change Your Mind 483 Pearl hugging Steven after fusing.

   After Steven and Pearl fuse in "Change Your Mind", Pearl hugs him in delight after they unfuse, showing how close the two have become.

   "A Very Special Episode" shows that Pearl has come to rely on Steven more as a leader as she begs him to help her with Onion. This is also seen in "Volleyball" when Mega Pearl trusts Steven to shut down The Reef's security system.

   "Prickly Pair" shows that Steven feels he can't talk about his problems with Pearl for fear of her blaming herself and breaking down.

   In "The Future", thanks to Garnet's future vision, Pearl is informed of Steven's planned departure from Beach City to see the world before he can tell them, alongside Amethyst. Not wanting to hold him back, she and the other Gems act indifferent once Steven finally does inform them, much to Steven's confusion. This is continued when she delivers a nonchalant response to Steven giving her his ukulele as a parting gift, even storing it in her gemstone almost immediately after receiving the instrument. However, Pearl and the Gems eventually reveal they are, in actuality, very sad about Steven leaving, with Pearl quickly joining into a group hug. After an explanation of why they reacted nonchalantly to Steven's departure and assuring they'll always be there for him, Pearl gives a tearful goodbye to Steven as he leaves Beach City.

   Amethyst “ Stop trying to be like Jasper. You're nothing like Jasper! You're like me! Because we're both not like anybody. And yeah, it sucks. But at least I've got you. And you've got me! So stop leaving me out of this. Amethyst: Us worst Gems stick together, right? That's why we're the best.

   ” —Steven and Amethyst before fusing for the first time, "Earthlings" An Indirect Kiss 183 Amethyst and Steven holding hands.

   Amethyst acts like an older sister to Steven, often joking around with him and joining him in his misadventures. Pearl often scolds Amethyst for being too reckless with Steven when she misleads him such as in "Cat Fingers", which Amethyst admits is probably accurate. Steven seems to acknowledge Amethyst's reckless nature, calling her out when she did not help him in "Joking Victim" and worrying about her safety in "An Indirect Kiss". However, Steven cares greatly about and loves her, Amethyst loves and cares about Steven as well but does not show it too much due to her tomboyish attitude. In "Reformed", Steven misses Amethyst once the Slinker poofs her, and he also liked her new forms as he found them funny.

   Earthlings 115 Amethyst embraces Steven prior to fusing.

   Amethyst also tries to impress Steven because she wants him to like her. Steven secretly feels Amethyst blames him for his mother not being around. Amethyst is becoming more motherly as time passes. An indicator of this is in "Onion Friend" when Amethyst and Vidalia joke about kids. Over time, Amethyst has been shown to become much more protective of Steven, both in dangerous situations (such as grabbing Steven with her whip in "Friend Ship") and in general (such as when she lectures/scolds him about the dangers of stretching out his body in "Steven's Birthday"). In "Steven vs. Amethyst" Steven tries to convince Amethyst how great she is and tells her he understands about not being who you're supposed to be when he tells her he is not Rose Quartz, which shocks her. "Earthlings" highlights their bond as he explains that he is just like her, that they are not like anybody else as they are both different from normal Gems, and asks her to stop shutting him out, which leads them to fuse into Smoky Quartz. After the battle, Amethyst leans into Steven, showing their newfound closeness. "Know Your Fusion" shows that they are close enough to fuse into Smoky Quartz by grasping hands, not needing a fusion dance.

   What's Your Problem (331) Amethyst telling Steven she doesn't want to dump any more baggage onto him like everyone else.

   In "What's Your Problem?", Amethyst admits she is angry about Rose not admitting she was Pink Diamond, but doesn't want to dump all of her emotional baggage onto Steven, but rather shares her concerns for him. Steven later calls her the most mature Crystal Gem in that episode.

   "Prickly Pair" shows that Steven is somewhat frustrated with Amethyst's growth and maturity, believing that she is only "acting" mature.

   In "The Future", Amethyst learns Steven is going to leave Beach City and see the world thanks to Garnet's future vision and, not wanting to hold him back, acts nonchalantly when Steven finally tells them alongside the other Gems. This is shown further when she acts excitedly when Steven gives Amethyst his video games as a parting gift, even threatening to delete his save files. However, alongside Garnet and Pearl, Amethyst reveals she is actually very sad about him leaving and immediately joins in a group hug. After explaining why they took Steven leaving so lightly and assuring him they'll always be there, Amethyst see Steven off a second time, and delivers a tearful "Later, bruh" before his departure.

   Garnet “ That's a lie. Your middle name is cutie pie.

   ” —Garnet, "Future Vision" Future Boy Zoltron 141 Garnet kissing Steven on the forehead in order to share her future vision ability.

   Garnet acts like a lenient and kind mother, always encouraging him and setting a good example. It is shown that Steven respects her as he always listens whenever she speaks. Steven usually asks Garnet for permission before anyone else, as shown in "Monster Buddies". As shown in the aforementioned episode, Garnet is usually open to letting Steven attempt things that Pearl may not, indicating that she has more trust in him than Pearl. Despite her stoic and somewhat distant nature, the two share an occasionally close and emotional relationship. She becomes emotional as Steven aged rapidly in "So Many Birthdays"; in "Future Vision" she shares her "future vision" to him- which she only does because she thinks he would understand and it would bring them closer. Immediately after Sapphire and Ruby's re-fusion in "Jail Break" Garnet acts a lot more emotional and loving towards Steven, indicative of the deep, true love that she has for him that her pre-regeneration self would not, or could not, express. Similar to Pearl, "A Very Special Episode" shows that Garnet has come to rely on Steven more as seen when she needed him to fuse with her into Sunstone for a home safety "Geminar".

   Together Forever 203 Garnet advising Steven about relationships following his failed proposal to Connie.

   "Prickly Pair" shows that Steven feels he can't talk to Garnet about his problems for fear of her acting "high and mighty" and lecturing him. This is somewhat proven when Garnet does not give him advice with Connie at first in "Together Forever", and then lectures him later about how neither Connie nor Stevonnie will fill the hole in his life after his failed proposal attempt. Again, this is further explored at the beginning of "Fragments"; when the Gems try to get Steven to talk about his issues, Garnet claims that Steven is trying to avoid this conversation altogether, which sets him off even more.

   In "The Future" Garnet uses her future vision and she, along with the rest of the Gems, find out that Steven is going to leave Beach City and see the world. She also sees a future where if they show their sadness and cry, Steven may want to stay for their feelings. Not wanting to ruin Steven's future, Garnet and the rest pretend not to know what Steven is planning and when he finally tells them, they hold back their tears and pretend to take the situation lightly. When waving goodbye, Steven drives the Dondai back around and upsettingly asks why they aren't sad. The three then begin crying immediately and let him know how they truly feel, with Garnet's being a bunch of tears bursting out of her eyes. Going in for one last hug, Garnet informs him that wherever Steven is, they'll be there. Garnet again cries as Steven finally leaves, but not before giving him one last future prediction.

   Ruby & Sapphire “ Oh, Steven. We already love you.

   ” —Garnet confirming Ruby and Sapphire's feelings toward Steven, "Jail Break" Hit the Diamond HD 036 Steven hugging Ruby and Sapphire.

   Not much is known about the relationship between Sapphire, Ruby, and Steven, other than they all care for each other. Since Garnet is a fusion of the two, their individual feelings for Steven are similar to Garnet's feelings for him. This is shown in "Keystone Motel", as they both apologize to Steven upon arguing in the diner, which had driven Steven to tears. Sapphire even goes so far as to cry herself, out of guilt. In "Hit the Diamond", Steven is quick to hug both the Gems when Garnet unfuses, but is distressed over the two ignoring the game to flirt with each other, leading him to give them a pep talk/scolding, which both of them listen to. This shows that both Ruby and Sapphire love and respect Steven enough to listen to him.

   In "Three Gems and a Baby", it is revealed that Steven first saw Ruby and Sapphire when he was only a few months old. Garnet, who thought Steven was a fusion like herself, unfused to get him to do the same. Steven, confused by Garnet's sudden absence, started crying, causing the two to fuse back right after.

   In "Now We're Only Falling Apart", "The Question", and "Reunited" Steven's relationship with Ruby and Sapphire becomes somewhat stronger. In the episodes, Steven helps Sapphire deal with the revelation that Rose was Pink Diamond, and he supports Ruby when she wanted to be a cowboy. He then organizes and officiates their wedding, showing his love and support for them and their relationship.

   "Together Forever" shows how much Steven respects their opinion and advice when they both tell him to propose to Connie.

   Connie Maheswaran “ Keep your hands off my Connie!

   ” —Steven to a Cluster Gem, "Nightmare Hospital" Bubble Buddies (060) Steven and Connie first meeting.

   Connie is Steven's best friend and later girlfriend. They first saw each other at a parade the year before they met. Steven was on a float for the car wash, and Connie was in the crowd; Steven noticed she dropped her glow bracelet and kept it in his freezer ever since, to make it last longer. In Connie's debut episode, "Bubble Buddies", he saves her from a falling rock by using his gemstone to summon his bubble. He is initially very awkward and nervous to talk to her,

   Bubble Buddies (224) Steven giving Connie her glow bracelet.

   even more so once they are trapped in the bubble because he is trying to stay calm, but he's able to relax more once he gives Connie her glow bracelet. After defeating the Gem monster that is attracted to the glow of Connie's bracelet, Connie appears to be amazed by Steven, saying "He was incredible!" in reaction to everything that had happened.

   Their friendship has grown, and presently they are very close friends. In "Lion 2: The Movie", they are shown casually hanging out. In "An Indirect Kiss", Steven and Connie are shown not to care about things such as sharing the same straw. In this episode, Steven discovers his healing powers, as he inadvertently fixes Connie's bad eyesight. He genuinely cares about Connie's safety and well-being as seen in "Winter Forecast", as well as in "Full Disclosure".

   Tumblr ni8wcyKpF51s03lrno1 400 Steven and Connie dancing and beginning to fuse.

   In "Alone Together", after they have a dance, they accidentally fuse to form Stevonnie. They are overjoyed by their ability to be fused and enjoy being Stevonnie, although it appears that they cannot control when they fuse. It seems to happen when they dance together while thinking about their feelings for each other. Connie, however, is terrified of the thought of her parents knowing about this or any of the magical things she does with Steven. It is for this reason that she lies to her parents about Steven in "Fusion Cuisine", saying that he had a traditional nuclear family. When he found out she lied, Steven feels hurt, believing that she was embarrassed by him. Fortunately, after she explains that she was simply scared of her parents not letting her see Steven again, he forgives her.

   Sworn to the Sword 201 Steven and Connie explaining to Pearl how they work better as a team.

   In "Sworn to the Sword", it is shown that Steven and Connie function extremely well in combat as a team, with Steven defending Connie with his shield and protective bubble while Connie attacks using her sword-fighting skills. Together, they manage to defeat multiple versions of Holo-Pearl, and their ability to work well as a team surprised Pearl initially.

Steven still seems to become awkward whenever Connie is close to him as shown in "Steven's Birthday" when Connie lays her head on Steven's chest.

   Along with their love for each other Steven and Connie share an equal partnership and friendship. "Beach City Drift" shows their partnership in that they can now fuse into Stevonnie at will and when they unfuse Connie shows Steven they are obsessed with Kevin. In "Gem Hunt", Steven follows Connie's lead while they are tracking the Gem. Both instances show that he relies on her intelligence and good sense.

   In his way, Steven is also shown to be close or equal to Connie in intelligence. He has been able to converse with her on equal footing since they first met and he listens to and absorbs everything she teaches him, showing that while Steven's intelligence is as deep as Connie's he lacks the breadth of her knowledge.

   In the last episode of the 6th StevenBomb, "I Am My Mom", Steven comes to terms with his feelings for Connie and confesses his love to her as he is taken away to Homeworld.

Steven has also stated in the podcast that since their reconciliation, Connie has been helping him cope with the recent events since he was on Homeworld.

   In "Reunited", Connie participates in Ruby and Sapphire's wedding and fights alongside Steven and the other Crystal Gems. Later, when he is knocked out by Yellow Diamond, Connie frantically tries to wake him up, reminding him of their reconstituted promise to always be a team. Fortunately, Steven, whose consciousness is on an abstract astral plane can communicate with Connie and tells her to watch his body while he tries to get through to Yellow and Blue Diamond.

She then reluctantly returns home on Lion at Steven's insistence.

   In the following episode "Growing Pains", after calling Steven out of concern for him, and noticing his out-of-control powers, Connie insists that he seek medical help and arranges for her mother to examine him at the hospital. She also calls Steven's dad as well and urges him to come back from his tour with Sadie and Shep.

Everyone then embraces Steven in a group hug and assures him that he is loved no matter what, and Connie herself promises that everyone will take of him just as he has done for them for so long, and kisses him on the bridge of his nose, causing him to start crying. A flash of light appears, and Steven reverts to his normal state and finally breaks down emotionally as Connie looks on lovingly with everyone else.

   Lion “ Blink if this means you love me!

   ” —Steven, "Lion 3: Straight to Video" Steven's Lion (246) Steven riding Lion.

   Lion is Steven's "pet" who he first met in "Steven's Lion" while the Crystal Gems were retrieving the Desert Glass. He has some connection with him, as Steven is the only one who can enter his pocket dimension. Lion, most of the time, does whatever he wants and often ignores or disobeys Steven. However, Lion is also seen to be caring towards Steven as well as being aware of Steven's needs, like when Lion kept lying on Steven's head to show Steven his pocket dimension where it contained, among other things, a video left by Rose Quartz for Steven after he said he wanted to know more about her in "Lion 3: Straight to Video".

   Their relationship slightly sours for a while in "Dewey Wins", when Connie gives up in frustration after trying to make Steven understand how much he hurt her by surrendering to Homeworld and asks Lion to take her home. Lion shoots Steven a disapproving glare before leaving with her, showing that he shares her anger at Steven over his surrender, as well as him treating the situation as nothing, and ignoring her feelings about it. Over the next few weeks afterward, Lion stays with Connie, presumably to give her comfort and companionship during her and Steven's estrangement, as well as teach Steven a hard lesson over his taking her and his other loved ones for granted. At one point during this time, Connie rides him to Steven's house in an attempt to reconcile in person after failing to do so over the phone, only to find that he'd gone on vacation. At the beginning of "Kevin Party", Steven is seen putting up missing posters for Lion, indicating that he misses Lion very much. Steven later reunites with Lion and Connie at Kevin's party, and following his reconciliation with the latter, Lion forgives him as well, as he allows Steven to ride on his back again as they and Connie leave the party by his portal, and by "Lars of the Stars", he is shown to once again be under Steven's care and on good terms with him.

   In "Can't Go Back", Lion brings Steven to the Moon Base when Steven discovers The Barn on the moon. Later, Lion demonstrates his caring and protectiveness of Steven's well-being when he stops him from blindly running after Lapis after she opens the base's doors, and then nuzzles Steven in comfort when he ultimately fails to stop her from leaving.

   In "Escapism", Lion comes across Steven in a Watermelon Steven's body in the ocean, and quickly recognizes him, showing that his close relationship with Steven allows him to recognize him in just about any form. He then takes him to Greg and Bismuth and watches as Steven relays a message to them for help before returning to his own body.

   In Steven Universe: The Movie, two years after the events of the end of the fifth-season finale "Change Your Mind", Lion, while keeping his typical independent feline traits (such as docility and long naps), has become more loyal to Steven, and seems to perfectly understand him now (likely due to him having matured a lot over the two-year time skip), listening to what Steven says and showing both worries for him during his final conflict with Spinel, and affection after he emerges from it alive and alright.

   In "Together Forever", Steven rides Lion to Connie's house, and he brings the two back to the beach where they met where Steven intends to propose to her. After the proposal fails, Steven allows Connie to ride Lion back home.

   In "I Am My Monster" after Steven's sense of purposelessness, suppression of his emotions and resurfacing of his trauma leads to his meltdown and transformation into a monster, Lion rallies with the rest of the Crystal Gems to help him. Teaming up once more with Connie, the two help evacuate the town, and then, after everyone embraces Steven with love, Lion warps her to the top of his head to give the final piece of love he needs. Later, after Steven has transformed back, Lion greets him with a warm, friendly lick and allows Steven to embrace him and cry into his mane as he finally allows himself to let his emotions out.

   In "The Future", Lion warps Connie to see Steven and is last seen with them as they make plans to meet up while Steven travels around the world and eventually settles elsewhere, with the two intending to use his warp powers to maintain their relationship.

When they find a potential way home, Steven does not want to leave Lars behind, but he is convinced, and instead of high fiving, they hug each other, showing how close they have become since the beginning as Lars allows Steven to return home.

   In "Little Graduation", Steven is shocked to know that Lars and Sadie have grown apart, and also due to Lars' upcoming departure, he lashes out at Lars and subsequently loses control of his own powers.

   GaleriaChilleTid00260 Jasper showing signs of clear anger toward Steven.

   In "Chille Tid", Steven is horrified by Jasper, and Jasper immediately attempts to attack him in an incoherent fury. In "Super Watermelon Island" however, Steven calls out to Jasper as she falls into a crack created by the Cluster, showing that he values her life despite their animosity. This is shown again as he attempted to heal Jasper when she became corrupted in "Earthlings". During this time, Steven finally told her that he is not Rose and gave her his real name but she still called him Rose before she was corrupted.

   Mindful Education 294 Steven's guilt over not being able to heal Jasper's corruption.

   Little Homeschool 248 Jasper declining Steven's request to be trained by her.

   In "Little Homeschool" Steven attempts to get Jasper to join him and the rest of the uncorrupted Gems at their school, to which the latter turns down the offer. The conversation quickly escalates to an argument with Jasper topping it off by letting Steven know that even though he had the gem, he wasn't her diamond and challenged him to a fight. Steven accepts, which pleasantly surprises her. She lets him have the first hit and as the fight goes on, she has Steven back into a corner where she down talks him on how he always tries to help others when in reality, he's the one who needs help. He proves this by telling him the only times where he's won facing her was when he either had help from the other Crystal Gems or when he is Fused with someone. This triggers Steven's pink state for the first time which helps him win the fight, impressing Jasper. He then requests that if Jasper would be interested in teaching, not at Little Homeschool, but him, seeing as their fight helped him learn something new. In response, Jasper tells him "Consider this, your first and only lesson", but then tells Steven that he's allowed to come back and visit, slowly warming up to him.

   Fragments 251 Jasper bowing down to Steven and proclaiming him as "her diamond".

   In “Fragments”, Steven decides to visit Jasper to be alone and to make sure his powers don't hurt his friends.

After spending three days training with her, Steven decides to start their rematch, taking her advice and no longer holding back, resulting in him shattering Jasper. Upon her resurrection by Steven, Jasper acknowledges his power and pledges servitude to him as her “diamond”.

   In "Homeworld Bound", Jasper's new respect for Steven is shown by standing aside to let him leave the bathroom first while in the Diamond Pose. She also sticks up for him when the Gems begin asking him multiple questions on what's happened over the past three days. Before Steven leaves the Beach house, he blocks the Gems off with a barrier, stating they can't help him anymore, which goes for Jasper as well. In which he coldly says "Go find something better to do in your life.". This somewhat affects her and she, along with the other Gems, sadly watch Steven warp away.

   Kevin Beach City Drift 048 Steven's anger towards Kevin.

   In "Beach City Drift", it reveals that his negative experience with Kevin in "Alone Together" as Stevonnie carried over to Steven full-force, being one of the few characters in the series Steven possesses hostility towards. He expresses a strong, enraged demeanor alien to Steven during and after a re-encounter with him at his dad's car wash, and is in a sour mood for the rest of the day. He even fuses with Connie and races him in hopes of rubbing it in his face. After realizing his obsession, he and Connie manage to let go of their anger towards him.

   Kevin Party (171) Steven dancing with Kevin to look "cool".

   In "Kevin Party", Kevin invites Steven and Connie to his party in the hopes that they can make it an event that everyone will remember by fusing into Stevonnie. Unknown to him at the time, the two had been estranged for the past few weeks over Steven's surrender to Homeworld, and both only accept the invitation in the hopes of seeing each other again and working things out. However, upon seeing each other at the party, tension and uncertainty between them (due to Steven believing that Connie's new look was a sign that she had decided to move on from him, and Connie presumably being uncertain of what Steven thinks of her after unintentionally leaving him completely in the dark during the duration of their estrangement) prevent them from reconciling immediately. When Kevin learns of the situation, he, misinterpreting that Steven and Connie were a couple, attempts to get them back together so they can fuse, convincing an emotionally vulnerable and desperate Steven to play it cool and act like life is going well for him without Connie, so that she'll be desperate enough to come to him. The advice, however, backfires, instead agitating Connie to the point where she believes that Steven has given up on making amends with her after being unintentionally ignored for so long, and has decided not only to permanently cut her from his life, but to also replace her with Kevin as his best friend, and nearly leaves distraught at this. After Steven stops her from leaving, and the two finally reconcile, Kevin attempts to get them to fuse, but they instead decide to take their leave on Lion, though not before thanking Kevin for his help and complimenting him on the party, much to his anger.

He is also quick to open up to her about his feelings towards his mother and remarks that he is glad she is with them. Upon refusing to resort to the use of the Breaking Point, he continues his attempts to reason with her and upon being forced to destroy her physical form, shows his respect for her by promising to tell everyone what happened, giving her closure before poofing. In "Mindful Education", it is revealed that Steven harbors intense emotional baggage for defending himself against her and impaling her with Rose's sword, with Bismuth manifesting in one of Stevonnie's hallucinations as a result.

This deeply touches Bismuth, who breaks down into tears and says Steven makes her so proud to be a Crystal Gem and that neither she, Lapis, nor Peridot would be who they are without him. As Steven, Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot embrace, Steven declares he loves them all, to which Peridot, Lapis, and Bismuth do as well to him.

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.

   Bluebird Azurite “ Bluebird: An era ago, there were two Gems, celebrated for taking down Homeworld's greatest traitor. But then they were cast out, forgotten when the traitor duped all of Homeworld into loving him instead. Now, they've come to Earth for their revenge! And forever shall he rue the names... Aquamarine: Aquamarine... "Eyeball": And Ruby!

   ” —Bluebird Azurite, Aquamarine, and Ruby explaining their motives to Steven, "Bluebird" Bluebird 195 Steven and Bluebird fighting.

   Steven and Bluebird Azurite are enemies, as she is the fusion of his two worst enemies — Aquamarine and "Eyeball" — and was made to get revenge on Steven for his dissolution of the Gem Empire during Era 3, which caused Bluebird's components to be cast out and forgotten. While she acted friendly towards Steven in her eponymous episode (despite pranking him multiple times), this was revealed to be an act to gain his trust so she could exact her revenge much easier.

   Aquamarine “ Huh. Nice try. But it's hopeless, My Dad. I can't go back to Homeworld without getting what the Diamonds want.

   ” —Aquamarine, "I Am My Mom" Awful small and mean Aquamarine is arguably Steven's worst enemy. Steven first meets Aquamarine while looking for some of his friends who have gone missing. He hears her ask "Are you, My-Dad?" when he sees her, she appears very childlike, but he is at first shocked, seeing that she is a Gem, most likely from Homeworld. She asks if he is "My-Dad" again, he says no, and she flies off. Connie finds her standing in a tree, and tells her to come down, saying that they can help her, but Steven tells her to be careful. After capturing Connie, Steven commands her and Topaz to let his friends go, to which Aquamarine uses her wand to hurl Steven towards a tree.

   In "I Am My Mom", Steven and the Crystal Gems confront Aquamarine and Topaz at Funland. Aquamarine reveals that the list of humans came from "a Steven" in a report from Peridot 5XG. After the Gems fail to fight Aquamarine and Topaz, Steven turns himself in as "My-Dad". Aquamarine says she's skeptical of how "a Steven" could also be a "My-Dad", but she accepts it because she wants to leave. When he tries to escape, Aquamarine freezes all of them in her wand's tractor beam. After thinking for a while, Steven tells Aquamarine that he is not "My-Dad", which frustrates her, but Rose Quartz, which then shocks Aquamarine.

   Aquamarine face Aquamarine's reaction to Steven trying to get her to share her feelings.

   In "Stuck Together", Aquamarine marvels at the fact that she captured "Rose Quartz", and that she handed herself in. After Topaz reveals that Lars is still on the ship, Steven tells Aquamarine the deal is off, which only results in Aquamarine taunting him, even pointing at her tear-shaped gem and saying "Look, I'm so moved I'm crying.", and then laughs at him. Aquamarine says she'll let the Diamonds know about her prisoner, and then asks "Rose" how she looks, to which Steven replies "Awful, small, and mean!". Aquamarine takes it humorously, asking rhetorically if that is how "Rose" flattered so many Gems to join the Rebellion. After trying to escape, Topaz and Steven try to reason with her, with Steven saying that she doesn't actually want to hurt them and that she just acts mean because she's afraid to admit she's weak. Aquamarine reacts to this by looking visibly annoyed.

   Bluebird 208 In "Bluebird", Aquamarine fuses with "Eyeball" so the two of them can get their revenge on Steven for him changing Homeworld for the better causing the both of them to be cast out and forgotten.

The two first meet in "Hit the Diamond", as "Eyeball" and the rest of the Ruby Squad are searching for Jasper at The Barn. Steven and the rest of Crystal Gems, thinking they were looking for Peridot, convince the Rubies to play baseball to keep them from searching The Barn and lie about them being humans. During the game, however, Ruby and Sapphire accidentally fuse into Garnet and the Rubies, realizing the Gems' lies, fuse into "Giant Ruby" and almost attack them. Peridot then attempts to give herself up, but Giant Ruby explains they were looking for Jasper, to which Steven chimes in and lies about her being on Neptune. Giant Ruby accepts this and unfuses, and as the Rubies are about to leave, "Eyeball" thanks Steven for the information.

   In "Back to the Moon", "Eyeball" and the Ruby Squad return to Earth after not finding Jasper on Neptune (or any other planet in the solar system), and demand to know where Jasper is. Amethyst, shapeshifted as Jasper, tricks the Rubies into thinking she's Jasper and goes to Moon Base with them and Garnet, Pearl, and Steven to file a report to Yellow Diamond. However, while there, the Rubies discover Amethyst was shapeshifted as Jasper, and engage in a battle with the Crystal Gems. When Steven then opens the airlock to extract them from the base, "Eyeball" drags him out with her, stranding him in space with the rest of the Rubies.

   Bubbled 204 In "Bubbled" Steven encounters "Eyeball" while drifting in space marooned in his bubble, and she is angry at him for sending them in outer space and for tricking her. The two argue, and after passing over a satellite, "Eyeball" monologues about her disbelief that any Crystal Gems were left on Earth and how she wanted to see Rose Quartz but was tricked by the Gems instead. Steven then attempts to convince her that Rose turned into him and how he has her powers, but "Eyeball" disregards this as another trick. Soon after, the two enter an asteroid field and "Eyeball"'s gem ends up getting cracked by an asteroid.

"Eyeball" then summons her weapon, a chisel knife, and attempts to kill Steven, but Steven throws her out of his bubble, and she drifts in space away from him.

   In "The Trial", it is shown that although Blue Diamond wants Rose Quartz to suffer for shattering Pink Diamond, she also wants Steven to present his case before his sentence.

   Familiar 179 Blue and Steven in the pool.

   In "Reunited", it is revealed that he views Blue Diamond as part of his family due to his mother being Pink Diamond. During the aftermath, she shows a genuine display of affection towards him by nuzzling him and hugging him. She also supports his decision to cure the corrupted Gems and expresses concern for him when he is brought to White Diamond.

   In "Familiar", Blue Diamond acts warmly towards Steven whom she believes to be Pink. Steven jokes around with Blue and even says that the two should spend more time together. Steven knows that Blue and Yellow Diamond are dictators but in the song "Familiar" he acknowledges the two love him which is why he hopes to change their authoritarian ways.

   Blue visits Steven in the prison tower after he is imprisoned there for fusing with Connie and attempts to get him to apologize. When he refuses and attempts to reason with her, Blue instead attacks him with an energy blast. He does, however, manage to get her to realize just how many times she has made Pink cry, and Blue agrees to help him return to Earth, even fighting Yellow to do so, in addition to finally acknowledging him as his own separate being.

   Yellow Diamond “ I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink.

   ” —Yellow Diamond, "Legs From Here to Homeworld" In the episode "The Trial", Yellow Diamond sees Steven as abominable to the point that she wanted to execute him just "for looking like that." Other than this connection, Yellow Diamond sees him as Rose Quartz by Steven's choice, and considering Rose's history, Yellow Diamond is furious with Steven's existence and pushes toward his execution as much as possible, only to be stopped by Blue Diamond.

   However, after learning that Rose was Pink Diamond, Yellow begins to show genuine concern for him. While she still believes him to be Pink, she is willing to assist him in curing corruption and enlisting White Diamond's help.

   Familiar 113 Steven and Yellow Diamond discussing how to convince White Diamond to heal the corrupted Gems.

   In "Familiar", Yellow Diamond and Steven speak briefly about how to convince White Diamond to come to Earth so they can heal the corrupted Gems. Yellow states that the two and a half words Steven said to White is a new record, implying that White rarely speaks to anyone. Yellow complains to Steven that it is unfair how he gets to see White Diamond because he has one failed colony, while she has hundreds of successful ones. Steven suggests to Yellow that she should try failing which Yellow responds to by laughing hysterically. The fact that Yellow rarely smiles, let alone laughs, shows how comfortable she is around "Pink" (Steven).

   When Blue frees Steven and Connie and attempts to help them return to Earth, Yellow tells her to return them to the prison tower. She also attempts to stop Steven from freeing the bubbled Crystal Gems, but fails and is attacked by Blue. Later. when Yellow attempts to poof Blue, Steven stops her and makes her realize the error of her ways, in addition to recognizing Steven as his being.

   ” —Steven and White Diamond, "Change Your Mind" Hello Starlight Steven's first time meeting White Diamond.

   From what Pearl and the other Diamonds have told him, and from White's reaction to his arrival on Homeworld, Steven appears uneasy and nervous toward White Diamond during their first meeting in "Legs From Here to Homeworld". He was rather annoyed that he only got two and a half words in, and was frustrated when she didn't show up to the Era 3 ball.

   Later, in "Change Your Mind", Steven successfully manages to meet with White Diamond a second time. Again, White Diamond is initially dismissive of Steven, though he is angry at her for taking control of the other Diamonds and later, the Crystal Gems. White Diamond continuously chastises him for encouraging other Gems to bring out their flaws and even suggests that Pink Diamond and Steven are the same. After embarrassing White, Steven finally convinces her to let go of her obsession with perfection and to come to Earth to heal the corrupted Gems.

   Change Your Mind 865 Steven explaining to White she needs to "leave her own head" to make things better.

   In Steven Universe: The Movie, White completely and utterly adores Steven, so much as to sing a song about how much she and the other Diamonds adore him. The only problem with that is that now White smothers him with attention, making him feel slightly uncomfortable. She even listened to Steven when he told her to say "please" and "thank you" to other Gems.

   Pink Pearl Change Your Mind 858 Steven had his first meeting with White Pearl in "Legs From Here to Homeworld". He seemed uncomfortable around her, but when he manages to remove White Diamond's control over her in "Change Your Mind" he welcomes her back.

It appears that Steven has known her for some time, as the two speak casually and Steven calls Pink Pearl his friend. However, he gets angry when Pink Pearl reveals that her cracked eye was Pink Diamond's doing, as he does not want to keep having to fix her mistakes, but keeps his anger under control. When the both of them (along with Pearl) visit The Reef, they even bond over Pink Pearl's nostalgic feelings of the items stored there, as it was here Pearls, including the Crystal Gem Pearl and Pink Pearl, were created. When Steven accidentally causes Pink Pearl to become trapped in a shell that will rejuvenate her, he feels guilty and tries to free her. After all three of them are back in Beach City, Steven expresses remorse over not being able to heal Pink Pearl's eye, feeling the mission was for nothing but Mega Pearl puts a smile on his face when she told him the both Pearls understand Pink Diamond better and they now have each other.

   "Shy", "Hippie", and "Superfan" Rose Quartzes

   Though Steven expresses discomfort around "Hippie" Rose Quartz and "Superfan" Rose Quartz as well, he is the most troubled around "Shy" Rose Quartz because of her extreme resemblance to his mother. Eventually, he apologizes to the three of them, and after "Shy" Rose Quartz empathizes with him over Pink Diamond, he settles on a sibling-like relationship with them as they were created by Pink like he was.

    Keys: Connie Maheswaran. · Secondary: Main character.

    Connie Maheswaran is Steven Universe's best friend-turned-girlfriend, and a member of the Crystal Gems who debuted in the episode "Bubble Buddies". After meeting Steven, she slowly began to learn about him, the Gems, and their past. Growing a strong bond with them, Connie decided that she wanted to help him and the Crystal Gems whenever danger arose in the Earth, training how to fight using a sword with Pearl since "Sworn to the Sword". She eventually becomes a skilled combatant and often aids the Gems during times of conflict. Years later, Connie begins to devote most of her time to studying and applying to colleges. She sticks by Steven's side as he deals with his years' worth of suppressed trauma. After helping Steven cope, Steven and Connie decide to meet up with each other as she tours the country on college tours, and he tours the world to find himself. It is revealed that the two are officially dating by the end of the series.

    Appearance Connie is a young Indian-American[1] girl with dark brown skin and a slim figure, and is slightly taller than Steven. She has a bumped/humped nose with black eyes with thick eyebrows and has dark brown puffy hair that varies in length.

    From her debut to "Dewey Wins", Connie's hair was waist-length. At some point following her fallout with Steven in the aforementioned episode and prior to their reconciliation in "Kevin Party", she had her hair cut down to a chin-length bob and added bangs. Following the two-year time-skip between "Change Your Mind" and Steven Universe: The Movie, her hair has since regrown to shoulder-length while retaining her bangs, and she wears part of it back with hair clips.

    Connie wore a pair of magenta glasses with rose-colored lenses until Steven's healing saliva fixed her eyesight in "An Indirect Kiss". She continued to wear the empty frames until the events of "Nightmare Hospital", no longer carrying them afterward.

    Connie is usually seen in a variety of different outfits and dresses, including light blue, green, and white clothing: In the first intro, she wears a white-mint green dress, a sunhat, and peach-colored boots with no socks. In the second intro, she wears a white, button-down, collared tank top, gray button-up shorts, her pink glow bracelet, and peach sneakers with white bottoms, laces, and socks. Since "Kevin Party", Connie has started wearing a more stylish and slightly mature style of dress.

    During training, Connie often wears a purple fighting outfit with a red bandana around her waist. She is barefoot, and her arms are covered with white gauze. On missions involving outer space travel, Connie usually wears her father's pale brown jacket, which has fur inside and a patch on the left sleeve. In "The New Crystal Gems", Connie temporarily wears Steven's outfit of a salmon-pink star shirt and blue jeans.

    As of the movie, Connie is now taller in height, almost the same height as Steven, with slightly thicker limbs and her nose is slightly angled. She also wears a white blouse and blue high waist denim shorts. Later in the film, after attending space camp, she wore a blue flight suit.

    Throughout Future, Connie appears in a variety of clothes, most notably a white (or light orange) blouse with high waisted denim shorts and sneakers.

    Personality Bubble Buddies (021) Connie is a curious girl who is attentive to detail, preparing herself for future events such as the upcoming school year or a mission in the wilderness, but can get distracted if she finds something more interesting like reading Buddy Buddwick's journal or spending time with magical company. Her hobbies include reading, violin playing, and formerly tennis playing. Connie is usually level-headed but sensible, convincing Steven about his obsession to certain topics and let them go such in "Beach City Drift", but she feels guilty to the point of notably changing her behavior, including hitting an innocent student in "Mindful Education". Learning that some things are natural, she decides to confront her emotions by making amends, clearing her mind and understanding not to let her emotions cloud her thoughts by keeping them in. She passes this knowledge onto Steven, assuring him he had to be honest about how bad his feelings were so he could move on. "New Crystal Gems" shows Connie's leadership skills when she told Peridot and Lapis to be themselves and organized their efforts to fix the damage they did. "Change Your Mind" brings out this aspect of her personality, as she helps Steven convince Blue and Yellow to ease up on their stifling rules and traditions so they would try to convince White Diamond to do the same.

    Connie has grown used to the strange dynamic of her friendship with Steven despite her initial uncertainty of it, reacting passively awed and only comments that she loves hanging out at his place when the Gems destroy one of Peridot's robonoids in front of her in "Marble Madness". She can be a bit deadpan at times, joking about cutting off Steven's hand and in that same instance quickly understands that by poking/tickling Steven she could provoke a reaction from Rose's Secret Armory in "Lion 2: The Movie". "The New Crystal Gems" demonstrates her eagerness to leap into action and adventure, asking Steven to wait for her so she can go into space with him, though this fails as he and the Gems had to leave immediately or risk losing track of Blue Diamond and his father forever. "Dewey Wins" displays an emotionally vulnerable side and a sense of integrity for Connie, who, while genuinely happy to have Steven back safely, is also deeply hurt by his choice to give himself up to Homeworld, leaving her and everyone else worried over his fate while also breaking his promise to her that they would always be a team. She becomes upset when he tries to downplay the situation and disregards her feelings (possibly to avoid facing his own and the harsh reality of the situation for the time being) and decided to take some time away from him so the two could process their respective feelings about the incident alone, remaining silent towards him for a few weeks, until they eventually reconciled in "Kevin Party".

    Originally shy and introverted, Connie rarely stayed in one place for long due to her parents' lifestyle and thus had been unable to form lasting friendships, which left her frequently feeling lonely. Her parents were very strict and didn't allow her to participate in common childhood activities, such as eating donuts or anything with trans fats and organize her daily activities. By this time, tennis was the only thing that she remotely enjoys in her life. This attitude had led her to flat-out lie about Steven's non-nuclear family, due to paranoia at how her parents may react. Despite her obedience to her parents, she wasn't above exploiting loopholes, such as not buying snacks at a movie theater, but instead bringing them from Steven's home. She ate a donut when they weren't present in "Crack the Whip". Connie's friendship with Steven eventually gives her more confidence, eventually standing up to her mother about her strict upbringing and rules in "Nightmare Hospital", even revealing her involvement in magical affairs. She isn't afraid to barge into the Beach House while shouting "Surprise!" and have around Beach City with Amethyst and Steven, showing how comfortable she has gotten around the Gems. "Kevin Party" shows nearly full-circle just how far she has grown as a person, laughing and talking with other party guests, something she would never have been able to do at the beginning of the series. Her more carefree attitude and comfort towards Steven when he feels he had made everyone miserable by abiding by Homeworld's conformities and traditions to impress White Diamond in "Together Alone" caused her to convince him to dance much to his reservation, an inverse of their usual personalities and actions in the episode "Alone Together", which leads to them accidentally fusing into Stevonnie and unintentionally causing an uproar that winds up ruining the ball. This continues in "Escapism" when she consoles a despondent Steven over their consequent imprisonment and the Crystal Gems' poofing and inadvertently inspires him to use his psychic abilities to call for help on Earth.

    "Sworn to the Sword" shows a more confident and aggressive side to Connie's personality when she learns sword fighting. Due to Pearl's negative reinforcement, she began to display a reckless side, but this was quickly put out by Steven. It highlights her strong feelings for beloved ones through her dedication to becoming a knight for Steven. "Gem Hunt" continues to shown her confidence and dedication to the Crystal Gems in how she pushes her to split up to hunt the Gem monsters and is the one to lead when she and Steven hunt the second monster through the forest, while respecting and obeying Pearl. Despite all her training and preparedness, Connie froze during an encounter with one of the Gem monsters they are hunting, choosing to call Pearl via Steven's walkie-talkie in the end. She later confides in Steven and Amethyst about freezing during her first mission in the next episode, causing Amethyst to tell her she should stop overthinking things and follow her instincts in battle, just adapting to win. She takes Amethyst's words to heart as she fares far better when the two of them along with Steven and Lion encounter Jasper and her two Gem monsters, bravely confronting her and prevent her from shattering Amethyst as Stevonnie. After Amethyst regenerates, she tells her she was right about how she should follow her instincts. In "Reunited" she has grown as a fighter, leaping into action and tries to attack Blue Diamond with Lion to free them when the rest of the Crystal Gems are incapacitated by Blue's pathokinesis attack, continuing to fight alongside them even her sword was broken.

    "Bismuth Casual", Connie's first major appearance in Steven Universe Future, shows full-circle how far Connie has come since her introduction, as she is revealed to have made friends outside of Steven and is shown to be somewhat close to them. However, she also makes it clear that she still considers Steven her best friend, as shown when, after he expresses his fears about them drifting apart, she reaffirms their bond by fusing with him and winning a best-skater contest as Stevonnie.

    "Together Forever" and "Growing Pains" both show the depth of Connie's maturity. In the former episode, after her brief date with Steven, despite being geniunely touched by his romantic gestures (a picnic in the spot they first met each other and a song expressing his desire to always be with her), she turns down his proposal that they marry and live as Stevonnie permanently both due to their young ages and her desire to retain her individuality, while also insisting that they have plenty of time before they take such a huge step in their relationship. In the latter episode, she checks in on Steven to see how he is holding up in the aftermath, and, after witnessing his powers going out of control, persuades him to have a medical check up by her mother, while also notifying his father of the situation. When Steven's powers go completely haywire after recalling his failed proposal and he blows up at her that he can't be around her at the moment, she calmly tells Steven she will be there for him when he's ready, showing growing concern over Steven's deteriorating mental state while also keeping her distance from him until he is ready to talk about it.

    I Am My Monster 133 The final three episodes show how much Connie's leadership abilities have developed and how deep her love for Steven runs. "Everything's Fine" shows her expressing concern for him after he dodges her questions about his condition and unexpectedly cuts off their first contact since the events at the hospital, and then visits his home and tries to help Steven's family in an intervention for him. While she is shocked by some of Steven's revelations (him not telling the Gems about going to the hospital, shattering Jasper, and nearly doing the same to White Diamond) and eventual meltdown and transformation into a Gem Kaiju, she nonetheless remains determined to help him. "I Am My Monster" shows Connie taking charge (similar to how she did back in "The New Crystal Gems") after everyone (Greg, the Crystal Gems, the Diamonds, and Spinel) starts to break down and blame themselves for Steven's transformation, citing that while it very well may be at least partly their fault, now is the time for them to pull together and help Steven just as he has always helped them, instead of moping about and feeling sorry for themselves for failing to before. Later, as everyone, even the Cluster, embraces Steven with love, she is the last to do so, promising that she and everyone else will take care of Steven just as he has always done with them, before sealing the deal with a kiss, which finally reverts him back to normal. She then looks over Steven along with everyone else as he wakes up and emotionally breaks down. In "The Future", taking place a few months later, Connie has seemingly entered an official relationship with Steven, with them making plans to see each other while he travels around the country and (possibly) finds a place to settle down permanently and she continues her college plans, and then sharing their first on-screen kiss just before he leaves Beach City.

Skillset Swordsmanship: As of "Sworn to the Sword", Connie has become skilled in the art of sword fighting with Pearl as her mentor. She can fight swiftly with light attacks or with power in heavy attacks. This allows her Sworn to the Sword 006 Connie's proficiency in swordsmanship.

Her prowess is enough to temporarily hold her own against Gems like Topaz.

Wide Intellect: Connie is shown to be very intelligent for her age, knowing a lot about boats from observation and reading very hard books, both fictional and educational, which give her an extensive vocabulary. She can write backward, seen in the short amount of time it took her to write "Harpoon Gun" on the inside of a bubble. Her analytical skills allow her to find loopholes in her parents' many rules, notice and remember important details, and ask perfectly timed questions in regards to the Gems' strange situations. Steven Universe Future shows that Connie's intelligence and studying are paying off as she is going to cram school and getting ready to enter college early.

    Weaponry Rose's Sword (formerly): Bismuth's "finest piece of work", able to easily destroy the physical form of a Gem, but unable to shatter the gemstone itself. Its design allows it to both cut and thrust efficiently. She also uses Rose's scabbard. In "Nightmare Hospital", the sword and its scabbard are given to Connie by Steven because she is learning how to sword-fight. Since pleading her mother to change her "No Swords" rule, took Steven to follow her to work to secretly obtain the sword, and convince her mother after saving her from the Cluster Gem patients, Connie has used the weapon in all subsequent appearances, using it in combat situations and during her sparring matches. Despite its immense size, she is seen comfortably carrying the sword on her back and drawing it over her shoulder. It is unknown if this is due to the sword's magical properties or if Pearl's training helped her achieve a level of strength fit to use it. In "Reunited", Rose's Sword was broken by Blue Diamond. The piece including the hilt was eventually given to Steven or the Gems and placed on a display in Steven's house. Connie's Sword: Connie new sword by Luxenroar Connie's new sword as of "Change Your Mind".

    As of "Change Your Mind", Bismuth gave Connie a specially-forged sword for her. The sword features a golden pommel, a purple hilt, a gold star emblem at the blade's base, an aqua chappe and a crystalline pink blade. It has enough strength to cause visible damage to the Diamond Mech. Fusions When fused with Steven, they take on the personality and form of Stevonnie. Via this fusion, Connie is theoretically able to fuse with full Gems.[2] Stevonnie is the first known fusion between a human and a Gem. Relationships Priyanka Maheswaran “ I just wanted to be a good mother. I-I just wanted to protect you.

    ” —Priyanka Maheswaran, "Nightmare Hospital" Fusion Cuisine 167 Connie being scolded by her parents.

    Connie is very loyal and obedient to her mother. While her mother tends to be strict, she wishes the best for her and wants her to be smart, orderly, and healthy. Connie closely follows her orders but does occasionally exploit loopholes or even lies to her to get away with something if necessary. In the episode "We Need to Talk", Connie reveals that her parents don't know of her adventures with Steven: Despite her eyes being healed by Steven, Connie took out the lenses of her glasses and wore the frames instead because she wanted to avoid confrontation with her parents and optometrist about this, something which ironically her mother doesn't notice. This may be because of her fear that her parents will prevent her from seeing Steven due to the huge risk she willingly submits to every time they hang out.

    Nightmare Hospital 231 Connie's mom accepting her for who she is.

    "Nightmare Hospital" explores Connie's relationship with her mother in more detail: Priyanka is very strict with her daughter, enforcing many rules on her that she never retracts for any reason. As a result, Connie is prone to lying to her about her adventures with Steven. The episode also reveals that it is her work as a doctor that feeds into her overprotective nature of her daughter; seeing horrific injuries on a daily basis drives her to safeguard Connie at any cost – even her own freedom. Priyanka remains distrustful of Connie when they and Steven are cornered by Gem fusion experiments at the hospital. However, after the ordeal, she was shocked to find out that she did not know as much about her daughter as she thought she did, upon learning Connie had started lying about her activities. This wounded her deeply, though, in the end, the desire to earn her daughter's trust trumped over her overprotective nature. The two agreed to a less strict and much more open relationship in the end. As long as Connie would tell her the whole truth, she agreed to support her fully. In "Gem Hunt", it is inferred that her parents have allowed her to go on a mission with Steven and Pearl, asking Steven to take pictures to document the event. It's confirmed in the podcast that the Gems, particularly Pearl, have discussed with Connie's parents about their rules regarding Connie's role on the team. This happened again during "Legs From Here to Homeworld", but in a more different context.[3]

    By the time of "Storm in the Room", Connie's relationship with her mother is closer and mutually protective. Priyanka was not in time to pick up Connie from Steven's house at the end of the day, which is unusual for her since Connie mentions that her mother is always on time. Priyanka eventually enters the house during the night, hugs her daughter and apologizes, explaining that the work took longer than usual before leaving she thanked Steven for letting Connie stay late. By the time of "Growing Pains", their mother-daughter relationship has become notably trustful, since Connie brings Steven in to see her mother out of concern for his health.

    Doug Maheswaran “ You are silly, but that's why I like hanging out with you. I've got enough serious things going on in my life. Sometimes I just want to spend time with my dad.

    ” —"Doug Out" Doug Maheswaran shares his wife's protectiveness and well wishes of their daughter. As such, Connie is shown to hold her father in similar regard, caring for him deeply and respecting his commands, yet on occasion exploiting loopholes and lying if necessary. Connie's relationship with her father is explored in "Doug Out". Like his wife, Mr. Maheswaran has become aware of Connie's involvement in magical missions and is shown to be accepting of it. He appears to be less strict and more easygoing with his daughter than Dr. Maheswaran, casually conversing and joking around with Connie and Steven. Connie enjoys spending time with her father for this very reason, his more laid-back nature providing an enjoyable contrast to the serious affairs in her life. She sometimes uses his jacket on missions.

    Crystal Gems Connie is on good terms with the Crystal Gems, who were excited to meet her in "Bubble Buddies". In the podcast, Rebecca Sugar and Ian Jones-Quartey say the Gems give Connie special treatment due to her relationship with Steven as his best friend, fusion partner, and dedicated combatant.[3] In addition, it was confirmed that she joined the group in "Rocknaldo", likely originally as a trainee member in "Sworn to the Sword".

    Steven Universe “ I want to be a part of your universe.

    ” —"Full Disclosure" Alone Together 065 Connie and Steven embracing each other leads to Stevonnie.

    Steven first saw Connie about a year before the start of the series during a parade. He saw her drop her bracelet and decided to keep it in his freezer so he could return it the next time he saw her. She also recalls seeing him on his father's float, mentioning the soap bubbles in his hair. He becomes her first friend. Although Connie sometimes feels like her life is rather mundane compared to Steven's, they are good friends, and share a mutual crush on each other as seen in "An Indirect Kiss" and "Alone Together" (in the latter of which Steven and Connie accidentally fuse, forming Stevonnie). Connie is frequently shown to be affectionate to Steven, occasionally in a romantic way. (e.g. "An Indirect Kiss" when she leaned in for a kiss, and in "Steven's Birthday" when she rested her head on Steven's chest after their slow dance). Connie has demonstrated that she cares deeply for Steven, such as in "Full Disclosure" when she repeatedly called and visited him to make sure he was okay, even going as far as to say she wanted to "be a part of his universe". She also showed displeasure at Steven's attempts of indirectly attempting to break up with her via text messages, confronting him and urging him that if he really wanted to break up with her, he should at least say it in person. Steven ultimately relents, stating that he still wants to be friends with her; Connie accepts Steven's reconciliation.

    Since "Sworn to the Sword", Connie has shown interest in joining Steven in his adventures with the Gems, training with Pearl to defend him and become his knight. To further prove this statement, in "Steven's Birthday", Connie mentions not caring what height or age it seemed like Steven is, and that she would want to hang out with him no matter what. She also panicked when she thought Steven reverted into a zygote (or that he shrunk out of existence to simplify). "Beach City Drift" shows that along with their love for each other, they have a strong partnership through their interactions and discussion over their feelings towards Kevin, and the ease with which they fused into Stevonnie. Their personalities complement each other well - with Steven counting on Connie for her good sense, intelligence and down to earth mannerisms; while Connie relies on Steven's bravery, emotional support, and unique insight which has helped them both grow stronger as a pairing, and helped shape Connie into the person that she is today. "The New Crystal Gems" shows her devotion to Steven in that she was ready to go into space with him on a moment's notice, and that she instantly agreed to protect Beach City for him while he was away. Her speech towards Lapis and Peridot is a result of her exposure with Steven and is proof of how a figure like Steven can inspire someone like Connie to express what they could not have done before. The episode also shows the new level of comfort in her relationship with him. In "Ocean Gem" she said that she felt weird being in his house when he wasn't there while in the latest episode she felt comfortable not only staying at the beach house by herself but also wearing his clothes while pretending to be him. The episode also gave her a slight insight into what Steven goes through with the Gems on a daily basis via her interactions with Lapis and Peridot.

    In "I Am My Mom", Steven tells Connie he loves her before leaving for Homeworld with Aquamarine and Topaz. This scene also shows that Connie is terrified and angry at his decision as she shouts "don't you dare" to him as he prepares to leave, forgetting his promise that they would face problems together. After Steven returned home in "Lars' Head", she becomes glad that Steven has returned as she, the Gems, and Greg run up to hug him. However, in "Dewey Wins", Connie expresses that she feels betrayed that Steven gave himself up to Aquamarine in "I Am My Mom", instead of continuing to fight alongside Connie as he promised. Steven obliviously attempts to get her to look at the bright side of the situation, arguing that everything is fine since no one got permanently hurt, frustrating Connie to the point where she resignedly leaves on an equally angry Lion. When Steven finally realizes how much his surrender hurt Connie, and calls and texts her repeatedly to try and make amends, she considers responding, but can't figure out what to say, and eventually decides it best to settle their problem in person, but is too late to visit Steven before he leaves for a vacation home with no cell service in "Gemcation", and for unknown reasons, seemingly doesn't attempt to visit or get in touch with him again for the remainder of their estrangement (even after Steven stops attempting to reach out to her on his father's advice to give her space). In "Kevin Party", a few weeks later at Kevin's party, despite appearing to be genuinely having a good time with the other guests both before and after Steven's arrival, Connie expresses how much her friendship with Steven still means to her, becoming upset, agitated, and worried when he deliberately ignores her attempts to get his attention so they could reconcile and seems to only want to hang out with Kevin and his friends (though this was only due to him taking Kevin's advice to bait her into coming over to him to talk), which leads her to conclude that Steven has given up on them reconciling at this point, and has decided to drop her as his best friend and move on with a new crowd. When she and Steven finally do talk to each other, she apologizes for leaving him in the dark for so long, explaining that she wanted to respond to him, but an inability to decide on how-to, along with other circumstances, got in the way. Steven, in turn, apologizes for giving himself up and not taking Connie's feelings into account, and the two of them reaffirm that they are still "jam buds".

    In "Lars of the Stars", Steven and Connie travel through Lion's mane to take a care package to Lars, and find that he and the Gems are known as the Off Colors are now a space crew trying to return to Earth. Steven reunites with Lars, introduces Connie to the Off Colors, and the two deliver the package to Lars. When Lars later has a breakdown after learning that Sadie is now in a band with Steven and the Cool Kids, and assumes that she is having such a good time to spite him for all the times he mistreated her and let her down, Steven and Connie set him straight; they tell him that Sadie does still care for him and is very worried for him, but has to keep going in her life, just like Lars has to keep going in his as he tries to get back to Earth. They finish by reminding Lars that he and Sadie are best friends and would never do anything to hurt each other, fusing into Stevonnie in the process. They remain fused for the rest of the episode and all throughout the following episode, "Jungle Moon", the latter of which goes over the course of at least several days as they work to survive until Lars can find them; this indicates that since the events of "Kevin Party", their bond has not only recovered but is now stronger than ever.

    In "Reunited", Connie attends the Ruby-Sapphire wedding with her parents and later participates in the battle against the Diamonds even when the gems are incapacitated for a while, in which her sword is broken by Blue Diamond. After Steven is knocked out cold, Connie tries to wake him, but he manages to communicate with her via spiritual means and convinces her to guard his body as he tries to talk down Blue and Yellow Diamond from the spiritual plane he is in. In "Legs From Here to Homeworld," following the battle, Connie sticks with Steven and the Crystal Gems, mostly observing as the Diamonds rejoice in finding Pink Diamond (aka Steven) and learn more about the consequences of their final attack, but still goes along with them to Homeworld to try to convince White Diamond to help cure the Earth Gems' corruption, via on Steven's mother's ship. She is last seen with the Crystal Gems after Steven is taken to see White Diamond, much to her dismay. She and the Gems later reunite with Steven in the following episode "Familiar", and learn of his intentions to throw a ball to help bring White Diamond around to help them. In "Together Alone", Connie helps Steven, the Crystal Gems, and Blue and Yellow's Pearls plan the ball and is begrudgingly allowed to attend as his "pet" due to her status as an organic being. Later, during the ball, when Steven feels that he's made everyone miserable by caving into Homeworld's stifling traditions to impress White Diamond, she comforts him and convinces him to dance with her despite his reservations about it, which leads to them accidentally fusing into Stevonnie, and unintentionally causing an uproar that winds up ruining the ball, getting the Crystal Gems poofed, and then thrown into a prison tower as punishment. In "Escapism", Connie comforts Steven as he mopes over how their mission has gone wrong, and when Steven gets the idea to use his psychic powers to travel to Earth to find help, she remains with him to watch over his body, staying with him to the point where she falls asleep with him in her lap prior to his return. In "Change Your Mind", Connie helps Steven free the other Crystal Gems and convince Blue and Yellow to ease up on their stifling rules and traditions and try to convince White Diamond to do the same. She fights White Diamond alongside the other Crystal Gems, receiving a new sword in the process. Later, she fights to defend Steven inside the Diamond Mech when all the other Crystal Gems are either incapacitated or mind-controlled and helps Steven reunite with his gem after White Diamond removes it.

    In Steven Universe: The Movie, which takes place two years after the events of Change Your Mind, Connie, now fifteen, begins to openly express her growing feelings for Steven; she waits for him to return from Homeworld and kisses him on the cheek before leaving for space camp. Later, when Lion, sent by Steven, notifies her of the danger posed by Spinel, Connie quickly returns with him to help fight the renegade Gem, and help save Beach City's citizens from the poison from Spinel's Gem Injector. During this time, she expresses concern for Steven during his final clash with Spinel, especially after the battle causes the Injector to explode, and is relieved to find him alive and safe in the aftermath.

    In "Bismuth Casual", Steven and Connie go with Pearl and Bismuth to a roller rink to have fun. While there, the two run into her cram school friends Patricia and Daniel. Steven makes an awkward impression on them, and not knowing how to skate, repeatedly urges Connie to go hang with her friends instead of helping him; he later expresses that he feels that Connie is drifting away from him, but doesn't want to hold her back from continuing to grow. After Connie reassures Steven that he is still her best friend, the two reaffirm their bond by fusing and winning a best-skater contest as Stevonnie.

    In "Together Forever", Steven, facing the possibility of him and Connie drifting apart when she leaves for college, arranges a special date for her in order to propose marriage to her, figuring they can go to college together as Stevonnie. When he does, Connie, taken aback and although flattered, turns his proposal down for the time being due their young ages and wanting to continue being her own person, insisting to Steven that they have no need to rush into marriage. As her study break alarm goes off, she is willing to put studying aside for the moment to be with Steven, who replies that studying is important to her, and she replies that Steven is important to her. She then reluctantly returns home on Lion at Steven's insistence, still remaining friends with him.

    In the following episode "Growing Pains", after calling Steven out of concern for him, and noticing his out-of-control powers, Connie insists that he seek medical help and arranges for her mother to examine him at the hospital. She also calls Steven's dad as well and urges him to come back from his tour with Sadie and Shep. When Steven's power start growing out of control due to him still being hurt by her declining his proposal, she quickly realizes the problem and convinces her mom that he should have his space, promising she'll be there for Steven whenever he's ready to talk to her.

    In "Everything's Fine", Connie calls Steven just after he returns from Homeworld, but he dodges her questions about his condition and ends the call, much to her concern. Later, she visits the beach house after Steven's inner feelings project onto her phone, and participates in an intervention with the Gems and Greg to try and get Steven to open up about what's bothering him. During this, she becomes shocked to learn that Steven never told the Gems about going to the hospital, and is even more shocked when he reveals that he shattered Jasper and nearly did the same to White Diamond. She then watches as Steven finally melts down and transforms into a Gem Kaiju.

    In "I Am My Monster", Connie assists the Gems and Greg in trying to calm down Steven and return him to normal. Teaming up with Lion once more, the two are first sent by Garnet to evacuate the town. Later, when the Gems and Greg, along with the recently arrived Diamonds and Spinel, all break down and blame themselves for Steven's transformation, Connie returns with Lion, and gives a speech that while they are partly to blame for it, Steven's condition and prior suppression of his feelings are also partly because he always putting others before himself, and that they all need to help Steven now just as he has always helped them. Everyone then embraces Steven in a group hug and assure him that he is loved no matter what, and Connie herself promises that everyone will take of him just as he has done for them for so long, and kisses his face. This finally causes Steven to return normal and he emotionally breaks down afterwards, with his family surrounding him.

    In the final episode "The Future", which takes place a few months later, Connie visits Steven via Lion, and it's revealed that Steven has opted to leave Beach City to travel and possibly eventually settle down at his own place, with the two planning to meet each other during his travels with Lion's help. It's also heavily implied that the two have finally entered an official relationship as they share their first on-screen kiss just before Steven leaves, and Connie sees him off with Greg and the Gems.

    Lion Because they both care about Steven, Connie and Lion have a friendly connection to each other. Though originally hesitant, she quickly warmed up to and was fascinated by Lion. He seems to return the feeling, as shown when Steven was falling from the sky in "Ocean Gem", where Connie and Lion quickly teamed up in order to rescue him. Connie is also the fastest one to be accepted by Lion, trusting and allowing her to ride him. Steven and Connie often take Lion with them to travel to places in Beach City, and Lion has grown used to having Connie around. In "Buddy's Book", Connie compliments Lion's parking, showing how friendly they have grown from Connie's perspective.

    In "Dewey Wins", after Connie frustratingly gives up trying to make Steven understand how much he hurt her by surrendering to Homeworld and asks Lion to take her home, Lion shoots Steven a disapproving glare before leaving with her, showing that he shares her anger at Steven over his surrender, as well as him treating the situation as nothing, and ignoring her feelings about it. Over the next few weeks afterward, Lion stays with Connie, presumably to give her comfort and companionship during her and Steven's estrangement, as well as teach Steven a hard lesson over him taking her and his other loved ones for granted; at some point during this time, Connie rides him to Steven's house in an attempt to reconcile in person after failing to do so over the phone, only to find that he'd gone on vacation. In "Kevin Party", Lion returns along with Connie, bringing her to Kevin's party and, following her and Steven's reconciliation, forgives him as well, and by "Lars of the Stars", he shown to once again be under Steven's care and on good terms with him.

    In "Reunited", Connie rides Lion into battle against the Diamonds and sticks with him after her sword is destroyed.

    In Steven Universe: The Movie, Lion retrieves Connie from space camp at Steven's direction to help stop Spinel, and she stays with him to help rescue Beach City's citizens from the effects of her Gem Injector.

    In "Together Forever", Steven rides Lion to Connie's house, and he brings the two back to the beach where they met where Steven intends to propose to her. After the proposal fails, Connie rides Lion back home.

    In "I Am My Monster" after Steven's PTSD, sense of purposelessness, and suppression of his emotions leads to his meltdown and transformation into a giant Gem Kaiju, Lion rallies with the rest of the Crystal Gems to help his master/charge. Teaming up once more with Connie, the two help evacuate the town, and then, after everyone embraces Steven with love, Lion warps her to the top of his head to give the final piece of love he needs.

    In "The Future", Lion warps Connie to see Steven and is last seen with them as they make plans to meet up while Steven travels around the world and eventually settles elsewhere, with the two intending to use his warp powers to maintain their relationship.

    Pearl “ Thank you so much for letting me come on this mission, Pearl! It's such an honor to work alongside you.

    ” —"Gem Hunt" Sworn to the Sword 139 Pearl teaching Connie sword fighting.

    It is shown that Connie and Pearl have many traits in common such as intelligence, attention to detail, and a tendency to be overly hard on themselves in the face of perceived failure. However, Pearl says in "Full Disclosure" that she doesn't understand human relationships when Connie is looking for Steven, though it was likely social ignorance to avoid answering where Steven was. The two share a mutually respectful mentor-student relationship since "Sworn to the Sword", in which she starts to call the latter "Ma'am". This was where she convinced Pearl to teach her sword fighting by appearing very passionate about staying by Steven's side to fight with him. This clearly struck a chord with Pearl and moved her to the point of tears, considering her own dedication to Rose Quartz.

    "Gem Hunt" expounds on their relationship, showing that Connie views Pearl as a respected and beloved teacher whom she seeks to impress through finding the Gem monster. Even when she didn't defeat the monster on that mission, Pearl commends Connie for following her instructions during their subsequent encounter with Jasper. In "Crack the Whip", Connie tells Pearl and Garnet to take care while she continues training, causing the former to smile as it reminded her of herself. As implied and seen in "Gem Hunt" and "Legs From Here to Homeworld", respectively, Pearl talks to Connie's parents about her role on missions and apparently takes certain responsibility towards her.

    Amethyst “ I don't think I've ever had this much fun in one day!

    ” —"Crack the Whip" In "Crack the Whip", Amethyst is left in charge of Connie and Steven while Pearl and Garnet search for Jasper as Pearl had forgotten that Connie would be coming by for training that day. 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 focusing on her stance and tells her to loosen up. When Connie confides in Amethyst and Steven about freezing up during her first mission, Amethyst tells her to stop overthinking things and states that in a real battle, she should follow her instincts. Afterward, Connie spends the remainder of the day having fun with Steven and Amethyst. Connie takes Amethyst's advice to heart by following her instincts during their later encounter with Jasper, fusing with Steven to form Stevonnie who manages to drive Jasper off. During the showdown, Amethyst, knowing how dangerous Jasper is, tells Connie and Steven to deal with one of Jasper's Gem monsters while Amethyst handles Jasper on her own. After her regeneration following being "poofed" by Jasper, Amethyst is surprised to find that Stevonnie had managed to drive off Jasper and that Connie and Steven were not in need of her help. This causes Amethyst to question her usefulness, despite Connie's assertion that her advice about following her own instincts allowed Connie to confront Jasper alongside Steven.

    Garnet “ Steven, I'm ready to train! I'm so glad we talked to Garnet. I really figured out what I needed to do!

    ” —"Mindful Education" Connie, like Steven, has high respect for Garnet, who returns the same feeling. In "Steven's Birthday", Garnet plays a song for Steven and Connie, whom Garnet identifies as Steven's best friend, to slow dance together to. In "Mindful Education", Garnet is excited to see Connie and Steven fight as Stevonnie. Garnet reveals a sign with Steven and Connie's names on one side, and then Stevonnie's on the other, and Steven takes this as a "fusion joke". This shows how open and supportive she is not only of Stevonnie but of the friendship Steven and Connie share as well. Connie still seems depressed by the time they arrive at the arena, and Garnet cheers them on as they fight while using the sign she made for them. After the fall, Steven finds Connie on the steps behind the area, near the warp pad, and decides to talk to her about the way she has been acting. Connie admits that she beat up a kid at school, and Steven is shocked, asking her to explain more about the situation. Connie claims that her training instinct just "kicked in" and her actions were accidental. Steven tells Connie not to think about it, but Garnet interrupts and takes the children to the beach to meditate with her as Stevonnie, showing her concern for the fusion extending to the two of them individually. Garnet meditates with Stevonnie and sings the song "Here Comes a Thought". With the visuals and influence Garnet provides, Connie finally agrees to confront her demons, taking Garnet's advice to heart.

    Peridot Connie has shown to get along and have a friendly relationship with Peridot as members of the New Crystal Gems. She went along with Peridot's idea to pretend to be Steven and Lapis' and Peridot's antics until they became too childish and arguing got to be too much for her. Connie spoke up against and convince them to continue their own roles, impressing Peridot. In "Change Your Mind", Connie and Peridot showed good teamwork in the battle against the Diamond Mech.

    Lapis Lazuli In "Ocean Gem", Connie is initially apprehensive of Lapis and her powers. This disappears by the episode "The New Crystal Gems", at which point she is aware that Lapis is Steven's friend. In their first meeting in person, Lapis didn't recognize Connie from the previous event, replaying "I almost drowned a lot of people" when Connie tries to remind Lapis that she almost drowned her. She is very aloof towards Connie at the beginning, but they eventually all agree to work together with Peridot and Pumpkin to watch Beach City while the other Crystal Gems are away. The group later begins to argue with each other on their abilities to play the roles of the Crystal Gems, Connie finding both Peridot and Lapis immature. They are eventually able to reconcile, however, when Connie delivers a speech to them about how they should handle their predicament, which Lapis is impressed by.

    Bismuth Connie was very happy that Bismuth forged and gave her a new sword to replace the sword used by Rose that had been broken in "Reunited".

    Greg Universe “ Look... humans and Gems... it's still some pretty new territory. You're gonna have to work it out together. And Connie? If you ever need to talk to another human being about this, you can always talk to me.

    ” —Greg Universe, "We Need to Talk" Connie is on good terms with Greg since "Fusion Cuisine" when her parents had given approval of Greg and Steven. He and Connie offered to accompany Steven on his mission no matter what danger they could face in "Ocean Gem", showing that they both care for Steven deeply. In "We Need to Talk", Greg is surprised that they could fuse into Stevonnie but does not seem to be completely shocked. He then says interaction between humans and Gems is still new, and that Steven and Connie will have to work with it. He also tells Connie that if she needs another human to talk to, he is there for her.

    Lars Barriga When Connie initially met Lars in "Bubble Buddies", she was weirded out by how he was acting to Steven. When meeting him again in "Lars of the Stars" however, she is shown to get along with him and helps him to fight against Emerald as Stevonnie, but got mad when he had a mental breakdown after thinking Sadie didn't care he had died and was trapped in space.

    Jeff Mindful Education 255 Appearing in "Mindful Education", Jeff is a student who goes to the same school as Connie. Connie unintentionally attacked and injured him instinctively after he accidentally bumped into her at school. This caused her to feel guilty about hurting him, burying her feelings instead of confronting them, which later caused her and Steven to have trouble maintaining synchronization as Stevonnie during their fusion training under Pearl and Garnet. With help from Garnet though, Connie eventually decided to deal with the problem head-on instead of trying to ignore it and apologized to Jeff. She was later relieved to discover that he held no hard feelings towards her and was surprised when she learned he wanted her to teach him some of her martial arts moves. On Connie's phone, it shows that she had taken a picture of them happy together, implying they have become friends.

    Pebbles “ Good-bye Pebbles. Wish us luck.

    ” —"Change Your Mind" Change Your Mind 157 After entering Pink's old room, Connie had a first met with Pebbles and thinks they are cute and friendly and in "Together Alone", she was happy that they built the furniture all night to remind them like the one from Steven's house. In "Change Your Mind", she tells the Pebbles goodbye that she and Steven will save Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl and use the leg ship to head back to their home planet Earth.

    White Diamond Connie continues to support and parrot Steven in her encounter and fight with White Diamond. White Diamond considers Connie to be another pet, but their relationship after Steven convinced White Diamond to embrace her flaws is unknown.

    Yellow Diamond Connie's opinion was disregarded by Yellow Diamond when the latter confronts Blue Diamond to take Steven and Connie back to the tower. The mentioned disregard is similar to Blue Diamond's expressed prejudice to Connie by seeing her as a "pet". Since this period, Connie has given insight supporting Steven's goals, which were enough to be considered and agreed with by Yellow and Blue even if they were to combat White Diamond to achieve these goals.

    Blue Diamond “ I think she means me.

    ” —"Together Alone" Change Your Mind 141 Connie first meets Blue Diamond in "Reunited". In "Together Alone", Blue sees Connie as Steven/Pink's "pet", a sharp contrast to Blue's general view on the humans both in the Zoo and towards Greg. Still, the two helped Steven to rescue the Crystal Gems in "Change Your Mind".

    Jasper Connie first encountered Jasper on her first mission in the Great North, being left in awe of the Quartz Gem's strength and combat prowess. As of "Crack the Whip", Connie appears to share the Crystal Gems' mutual dislike of Jasper and willingly fused with Steven in order to defeat her.

    Kevin Connie first encounters Kevin as Stevonnie in "Alone Together". Since their first meeting, both Steven and Connie hold a negative opinion of him, an attitude carrying over to "Beach City Drift". While Steven's dislike of Kevin is overt and hostile, Connie's is more subdued and internal. While racing him as Stevonnie, Connie is the first to realize how obsessed they are in getting back at him, and they both decide to let go of their anger and finish the race for themselves. Although they ultimately lose, they accept the loss with grace, thus angering Kevin, who yells that they are obsessed with him as they take their leave.

    In "Kevin Party", Kevin invites Connie and Steven to his party in the hopes that they can make it an event that everyone will remember by fusing into Stevonnie. Unknown to him at the time, the two had been estranged for the past few weeks over Steven's surrender to Homeworld and both only accept the invitation in the hopes of working things out. However, upon seeing each other at the party, tension and uncertainty between them (due to Steven believing that Connie's new look was a sign that she had decided to move on from him and Connie presumably being uncertain of what Steven thinks of her after unintentionally leaving him in the dark during their estrangement) prevent them from reconciling immediately. When Kevin learns of the situation, he, misinterpreting that Steven and Connie were a couple, attempts to get them back together so they can fuse, convincing an emotionally vulnerable and desperate Steven to play it cool and act like life is going well for him without Connie, so that she'll be desperate enough come to him. The advice backfires, agitating Connie to the point where she believes that Steven has given up on making amends with her after being unintentionally ignored for so long, and has decided not only to permanently cut her from his life but to also replace her with Kevin as his best friend, and nearly leaves distraught at this. After Steven stops her from leaving, and the two finally reconcile, Kevin attempts to get them to fuse, but they instead decide to take their leave on Lion, though not before thanking Kevin for his help and complimenting him on the party, much to his anger.

    Keys: Gems. · Secondary: Species.

    Gems are an extraterrestrial species of "magical", roughly humanoid beings that play a key role in the Steven Universe franchise.

    5,750 years ago, the Gem Homeworld maintained several outposts on Earth, with plans to completely colonize the planet, but were driven off by Rose Quartz's rebellion, leaving the Crystal Gems (and various Corrupted Gems) as the only remaining Gems on the planet.

    As of Era 3, they are no longer under control of the Great Diamond Authority and the Gem Empire, free to choose their endeavors and purpose without the Caste System.

While most Gems seen have two eyes, some Gems or types of Gems only have one eye (e.g. Nephrites, Sapphires, Bixbite, etc.). Their bodies seem to be made up of doll-joint-like segments in their base forms (although this isn't always apparent), and they lack features such as breast forms, nipples, or navels, due to the fact that they do not naturally possess reproductive systems (although they can shapeshift such features). It is unclear whether or not Gems generally have human-like external ears, as the same Gems have been drawn both with[1] and without[2] them in different shots. However, all known Gems have hair or visors that normally cover where their ears would be, and Topaz can hear despite having gemstones in place of both her ears, suggesting that Gems do not need human-like ears to hear - and, as above, they can shapeshift ears if they need them.

    Description Keep Beach City Weird (013) Garnet and Amethyst, shapeshifting to play "Steven Tag".

    Gems are characterized by the gemstone embedded somewhere on their body, which is analogous to a brain. However, the gem is the only true part of a Gem’s body, the only part that is unchanging and, indeed, the only part of a Gem that can be permanently damaged or killed.

    BP - GarnetGIF Garnet, altering her form.

    Gems' humanoid shapes are projections from their gemstone which can be changed at will, described as being "like a hologram, but with mass," with their only constant feature being their gemstone and color scheme (shapeshifting is generally not permanent, and Gems will return to their "default" form eventually, unless the shapeshifting was done during regeneration).[3] As such, Gems cannot change the size or shape of their gem, which is the limiter of how small a given Gem can be. Gems refer to their physical bodies as 'Illusions.' Gems' physical forms typically have characteristics associated with human femininity, but all Gems are sexless and genderless, with the sole exception being the male half-Gem Steven[4].

    Gems get their energy by absorbing light from their surroundings. Rebecca Sugar once described them as "solar-powered robots".[5]

    There are a variety of gemstones, which decides a Gem’s basic abilities, general appearance, skills and personality (though Gems are fully capable of growing beyond the functions they were designed with). There are multiple Gems with the same gemstone except for the Diamonds, of which all four are unique. The gemstone of a Gem is what decides their name. The gemstone can be located in many different parts of the body, regardless of Gem.

    Both hydro and weapons An example of both Lapis Lazuli's hydrokinesis and the Crystal Gems summoning their weapons.

    Typical Gem abilities include inhuman physical strength and durability of varying degrees, weapon-summoning, fusion, the power to store material in a pocket dimension within their gemstones, the ability to use their gemstones like a flashlight, and bubble creation. Note that these are not ubiquitous; some Gems, such as Lapis Lazuli, are not able to summon a personal weapon,[6] and Gems created in sub-optimal conditions, such as second era Peridots, lack the same physical strength as other Gems. All Gems with their own weapons have the ability to direct energy through their weapons, such as Garnet using her gauntlets to charge Greg's van, Pearl firing an energy blast from the tip of her spear and Amethyst sending bursts of energy through her whips.

    Pearl Regeneration Pearl retreating to her gemstone.

    Gems are engineered to adapt to a variety of conditions and cannot die by natural causes, as their bodies are only projections of light. Gems do not have to breathe, eat, drink, or sleep to survive, and they do not age, making them effectively immortal. They can, however, still eat and sleep if they so desire. Their bodies will also automatically alter themselves to fit the conditions of whatever celestial body or spacecraft they are on, such as adjusting mass for gravity. The only way to destroy or "kill" a Gem is to destroy their gemstone. However, a shattered gemstone can be put back together. This has been shown in "Fragments" and "Homeworld Bound", when Steven repaired Jasper after he inadvertently shattered her [7], and Yellow Diamond repaired gems who were part of her cluster experiments. They still retain cracks on their gems, and to cure their effects they need to be healed. When the physical body of a Gem is seriously injured, they will retreat into their gemstone to regenerate. This is one of the only times Gems can make permanent changes to their physical form. The length of the regeneration process can range from minutes to weeks, but a "rushed" regeneration can suffer from physical deformities. Regeneration can be prevented if a gemstone is bubbled or otherwise constricted, such as within a mirror.[8]

    An Indirect Kiss 109 Amethyst "glitching"

    If a Gem's gemstone is damaged, their physical form will deteriorate and render them incoherent as the gemstone is the true body of the Gem. The only known method of healing a physically damaged Gemstone are the powers of the Diamonds and Rose Quartz. A Gem's gemstone can be used as an energy source, even if damaged. Gem Shards, the remnants of a shattered gemstone, possess a "powerful partial consciousness" which can grant sentience to their containers and have been used to create drone soldiers.[9] Gem Shards have also been forced to fuse together over time to form Cluster Gems.

    If a Gems physical form receives sufficient physical damage or is otherwise disrupted it "poofs", turning into a cloud of mist and leaving the gemstone behind. It takes time for a Gem to reform from poofing and when reforming, the Gem can choose a new "default" appearance to their physical form. When a gem reforms, they start glowing and hover above the ground. Sometimes during the reform, an initial a crude humanoid shape can be seen with each body part segmented as shown in the case with Lapis and Centi reforming. Gems also cycles through all their previous reforms until they reach their current form when come back from being poofed.

    The only permanent forms of damage for Gems are cracking, shattering and corruption. Shattered gems are not dead, but their mind is splintered between the pieces, unable to properly think. Gems that have been corrupted are not damaged physically, but have been afflicted with a corruption that prevents them from thinking or understanding. Because a Gem must actively create their physical form, when a corrupted Gem reforms it instead becomes a monstrous and deformed creature called a Gem Monster, while a damaged Gem will retain their original form, albeit with some slight differences. Shattered Gems will attempt to reform, usually resulting in unintelligent limbs.

    Steven The Sword Fighter 106 Examples of Gem language.

    There are two known main groups of Gems: Homeworld Gems and the Crystal Gems. Homeworld society is ruled by the autocratic Great Diamond Authority. Its members impose a strict caste system based on the gemstone and maintain their empire by terraforming worlds (and destroying them in the process) through facilities like the Kindergarten. Homeworld society heavily stigmatizes fusion between Gems of different gemstones, and fusion between Gems of the same gemstone is reserved solely for combat (and missions requiring the force of more than one Gem, in the case of Topaz). The Crystal Gems are a rebellious group of Gems established by Rose Quartz who disagree with the customs and principles of Homeworld society, particularly on its perspective toward life. Five thousand years ago, Rose instigated the Rebellion against the Homeworld Gems to protect the Earth. The Crystal Gems were able to successfully drive the Homeworld Gems off-planet. As they withdrew, the Diamonds released a powerful attack, corrupting the majority of the remaining Gems on Earth. Rose, Garnet, Pearl, and Bismuth were the only Crystal Gems to survive. Gem culture is ancient, predating all known human civilizations. It Could've Been Great 171 What Earth was projected to look like if the Crystal Gems had lost the war.

    Gems have their own written language, which is inscribed on many of their temples, as first seen in Steven's Room in the Pilot, despite every non-Corrupted Gem speaking "English". This may mean that they write in an English-like script, or that written words are in a (moderately) traditional Gem language. Remains of Gem architecture can be seen scattered across the Earth in the form of the structures, such as the Lunar Sea Spire, the Communication Hub, and the Galaxy Warp.It Could've Been Great 113 A mural of Yellow Diamond.

    Gem civilization is incredibly advanced, capable of creating spaceships, pocket dimensions, and teleporters. Slower than light travel is now considered outdated due to the advent of teleporters. Current Gem technology is described as incomprehensible by Lapis Lazuli. Individuality is not highly valued among Gems. As implied in "Bismuth", this is in part a conviction the Gem elite has forced down upon lesser Gems to limit their potential. While each Gem may exhibit their own unique nuances in personality, they all primarily adhere to the fundamental behavior and preferences of their caste and types. Whatever the case might be, like organic beings, Gems are able to define their own identities and develop unique personalities of their own. The most prime examples of this are the members of the Crystal Gems. Most Gems hold little value for the preciousness of life. Being part of a society where many individuals share the same traits, Gems have come to objectify any life form, organic or Gem. As such, they tend to treat each other and themselves as disposable commodities. Ian and Rebecca stated[citation needed] that this mindset comes from Homeworld propaganda where Gems like Peridot are proud because they know their place, as they think that Homeworld philosophy is the best for everyone; as part of a Gem's indoctrination, they don't question the system because they work within it, going to a bunch of different places and learning about them. They also unknowingly absorb revised history created to edit out what made Homeworld look unsuccessful or imperfect. While there has never been mention of Gems practicing any form of spiritualism or religion, the existence of the Moon Goddess Statue, along with the Sea Shrine and the Pyramid Temple, implies some sort of belief system. According to Emerald, Gems engage in jubilee celebrations. Gem culture does not have a gender binary or a concept of gender.[10][11][12] Gems refer to each other using she/her pronouns but have no particular reason for doing so beyond arbitrary convenience.[13][14] The gendered term "mother" is also applied often to the Gem named Rose Quartz (who gave up her physical form to create Steven Universe), by Gems, humans, and Steven Universe who is half-human and half-Gem. Peridot uses the term "matriarch" when referring to the Great Diamond Authority in "It Could've Been Great". Amethyst refers to Jasper as "sis". It is initially difficult for Gems to comprehend human social customs such as marriage, parents, childhoods, birthdays, or funerals (as particularly evidenced in "Gem Harvest"). Given that Gems do not have a gender binary, and they reproduce by growing new Gems in Kindergartens, they apparently do not form romantic/social bonds comparable to marriage (Garnet's status as a "perma-fusion" is highly irregular). Rose herself admitted that for a long time she did not understand that infant and adult humans are the same species: Gems are created fully formed and with adult-level knowledge, so they do not have a concept of a childhood stage of growing. Abilities Most, if not all, Gems share the following abilities and traits:

    Enhanced Condition: Gems can have greater strength, speed, and durability than humans. They can jump longer and higher than even the most athletic humans. The amount varies depending on the Gem type and production quality of the individual Gem - Peridot, a cheaply produced technician, is tough but physically weak, while Jasper, an "ultimate" soldier, can lift an Injector and survive a Gem Warship's explosion. Non-Senescence: Gems do not age or catch physical diseases, and thus do not die of natural causes like humans. However, they can still be killed if their gemstone is shattered, and they are susceptible to mental illness. Bubbling: Gems have the ability to encase an object inside a bubble. The color of the bubble depends on the Gem. The bubbles can be sent to wherever their creator considers "home". If a Gem is inside, it is kept in a form of stasis. These bubbles are entirely independent of their creator's state and seem to be able to exist indefinitely if undisturbed (The various bubbled Corrupted Gems in the Temple have remained stable regardless of the instances when the Crystal Gems have been poofed, and bubbles created by Rose Quartz, such as the bubble which contained Bismuth's gem, continue to exist even after she had become a part of Steven). Shapeshifting: Gems can temporarily alter their physical forms. The more mass the altered form has relative to the Gem's normal form, the harder it is to maintain. Sufficiently skilled Gems can shapeshift into forms with additional functions, such as Amethyst shapeshifting into a working helicopter in "Message Received". Gems produced with fewer resources during the Gem Homeworld's Era 2 appear to lack this ability. As revealed in "A Single Pale Rose", Gems can't alter their coloration but they can change the rotation of their gemstone. Regeneration: When a Gem suffers a fatal injury, they "poof," releasing their physical form and retreating into their gemstone in order to create a new, undamaged form. The amount of time this process takes depends on a number of factors, including whether or not they are changing the appearance of their form. As demonstrated by Amethyst in "Reformed", it is possible for a Gem to rush their regeneration process, but doing so may lead to a number of problems, such as deformed body parts. Regeneration time can range from several seconds, as shown in "Reformed", to a few weeks, such as in Pearl's case in "Steven the Sword Fighter". Gravity Shifting: As stated by Peridot in "It Could've Been Great", Gems' bodies will automatically adjust to different levels of gravity. This is further elaborated on in "Adventures in Light Distortion" where Pearl says that their forms are dependent on the local gravity and air pressure. Weapon-Summoning: Most Gems can summon a tangible weapon from their gemstones. Gems can summon multiple weapons at once, but each non-fusion Gem has only one type of weapon that they can summon. Fusion: Gems can combine their bodies and minds to form a larger and more powerful Gem with all of their components' gemstones on their bodies. Fusion Gems can unfuse willingly or fall apart for a number of reasons, and they can fuse further without unfusing first. Fusions inherit all of their components' weapons, and may combine multiple weapons into new forms - for instance, Opal can combine Pearl's spear and Amethyst's whip to form a bow. Humans can also fuse with half-Gems, as demonstrated in "Alone Together". Gem Storage: Gems can store and withdraw objects from their Gemstones. Photokinesis: Gems can project light from their Gemstones to light up dark places. Unique Abilities: Gems have a wide range of abilities that are exclusive to certain Gem types or individual Gems. These include Rubies' pyrokinetic touch, Sapphires' future vision and cryokinesis, Pink Diamond/Rose's healing tears, and Peridot's magnetokinesis. Gemstone Types The Gem Homeworld maintains a strict caste system based on the gemstone, with each Gem belonging to a larger "type".

    Main article: Caste System Reproduction On the Run 204 Prime Kindergarten.

    Beta 139 Beta Kindergarten.

    Off Colors 094 Homeworld Kindergarten.

    Rebecca Sugar has confirmed that Gems do not naturally reproduce[15] and lack reproductive organs by default.

    In the short "How Are Gems Made?", it is explained that Gems "aren't born, they are made when some Gems from outer space came here with these big machines! They put the machines on Earth and shot this junk into the ground, and then boom, you pop right out!" This is revealed to be the Injectors who are present in the Kindergartens, which are gem production facilities, where the machines inject Diamond essence into the earth. [16]

    The type of gem made depends on multiple criteria, the type of mineral present in the injection site and the Diamond essence that's being injected. It is revealed that traits such as a Gem's color and personality depends on the type of Diamond essence used.[17]

    In addition, it is revealed that Gems are formed fully developed: "being a weak baby would be a pain, so, they suck up all the good stuff from the ground so we pop out all big and strong." The gems emerge from their incubation in exist holes that resemble a crude silhouette of a person, mostly with an elongated rectangular base and a head shape on top.

    The quality of the injection site, environmental factors and subsequent incubation determine the physical qualities of the gem. As pointed out by Peridot in "Too Far", if a Gem is incubated for too long (referred as being "overcooked" by Jasper in "The Return"), it will result in the Gem's humanoid form being inherently abnormal, as in the case of Amethyst, who is much shorter than the typical Quartz. Not only that, her default form showed her with a lack of Amethyst soldier uniform and segmented limbs. Her injection site is said to have been put too close to the ground for proper formation.

    Also, as revealed in "Too Short to Ride", if not enough resources are present during the incubation process, the resulting Gems will be underdeveloped, as in the case of Era 2 Peridots, who are shorter and lack most standard Gem abilities.

    In addition to being fully developed physically, they are also fully developed mentally. When they come out of the ground, they already know all that they need to know to do their job, up to and including their initial, immediate orders. Rose Quartz explains in "Greg the Babysitter" that when a Gem is made, it is for a reason. They burst out of the ground with the knowledge of what they are supposed to be, and that is what they generally believe they will be for life.

    However, as shown with incorrectly incubated gems, it's possible to also affect a gem mentally in addition to physical deviations due to bad incubation. As revealed in the movie, unlike Pearl, Ruby and Sapphire who were reset and defaulted to carry out their tasks and duties according to their gem programming, Amethyst 's default form has her personality be a blank slate who only knows how to copy others.

    In "On the Run", it is revealed that the Homeworld Gems invaded Earth several thousand years ago and used the Kindergarten to create new Gems using the method described in "How Are Gems Made?"; and that Amethyst is one such Gem. This process is very harmful to the environment to the point where, if it were allowed to continue, it would lead to "the destruction of all life on Earth," according to Pearl in "Marble Madness". Amethyst refers to all the Gems created through the process, herself included, as "parasites".

    While biological reproduction is an alien concept to Gems, some form of it is not impossible for them; while Gems cannot reproduce with each other, they can create Gem-hybrid offspring. Through shape-shifting, they can perfectly replicate the reproductive organs of organic beings for their "human constructs" in order to have sex.[18] Rose Quartz is the only known Gem to have done this, and her son, Steven, inherited her gemstone, without which she could not project a physical form and subsequently "died". Exact details on this are extremely scant; while Rose appeared "pregnant" with Steven, no information is ever revealed as to how Steven's chromosomes were built, or how Rose acquired or constructed an ovum.

    Steven asks Peridot what is it like to be created on Homeworld in "Gem Drill". She says she does not remember anything and only had feelings. She describes it as not existing then suddenly existing.

    Trivia The majority of Gem weapons are medieval: Steven and Rose Quartz's shield, Pearl's spear, Amethyst's whip, Ruby's gauntlet, Jasper's crash-helmet, Eyeball's chisel knife, and the Topazes' maces. This includes fusion weapons: Garnet's gauntlets, Opal's energy bow, Sugilite's flail, Sardonyx's war hammer, and Topaz's mace. The process for each Gem to summon their weapons depends on a different state of mind for each of them. Amethyst places little effort or concentration, claiming that it "just happens" when she needs to summon her weapon. Pearl claims that her process is being perfect and calculated, using the science of a flower petal dancing in the wind to describe how hard work and dedication can help master the properties of one's own gemstone and "perform their own dance." Garnet claims that she summons her gauntlets by linking her mind with the energy of all existing matter, channeling the collective power of the universe through her gem(s), matching her calm and meditative temperament. Steven's means of summoning his shield is still unknown, though it is thought to be caused when he experiences pure joy, having first activated his gem after taking a bite of his favorite ice-cream sandwich, his ability to summon his weapon can also be attributed to the feelings of love and the desire to protect. "Say Uncle" reveals that Steven's powers are maternal and that he summons his shield to protect the things he cares about. Though the episode is considered non-canon, the description of how Steven summons his shield seems to be accurate. Ian Jones-Quartey has stated that Steven is the first Gem to use he/him pronouns. Rebecca Sugar and Ian Jones-Quartey have stated that Gems use she/her pronouns by default.[19] This is demonstrated by the Crystal Gems referring to Lapis Lazuli, Peridot, Jasper, and Bismuth all as "she" before knowing them. Although, when regenerating, Gems would be able to take on a "masculine" form and use he/him pronouns if they wish.[20][21] Friend Ship 213 What appears to be gemstones powering a mechanism in an ancient Gem ship.

    Gemstones can be used as a power source, even if damaged. A gemstone is seen powering the Pyramid Temple in "Serious Steven". Lapis Lazuli was used to power a magic mirror. Numerous gemstones can be seen powering machines in the Ancient Gem Colony Ship. It is unknown whether or not these gemstones were sentient. In "Chille Tid", Gems are shown to experience exhaustion and, if they choose to sleep, can dream. In "Coach Steven", Gems are revealed to be able to produce bodily fluids and receive scrapes upon the "skin". Pearl referred to Gems' bodies as "human construct(s)" in "Fusion Cuisine". Ian Jones-Quartey has stated that Gems do possess DNA, and that Rose Quartz is able to pass her traits on to Steven.[22] While this would somewhat contradict Pearl's implication that Gems are inorganic in "Alone Together", it is explained in the Guide to the Crystal Gems that the Gem equivalent to genetic information is stored in the gemstone, and Rose is able to integrate this information with Greg's DNA by giving up her physical form and passing her gem along to Steven. Gems' skin tones are related to the color of their gemstones[23][24] (but do not always match precisely). In the comic series, Pearl has been shown to absorb objects into her gemstone and has gotten sick when she absorbed too many objects into her gem. As of "A Single Pale Rose", she has also used this method of storage in the main show. It is unclear whether other Gems can do this. This ability may be inherent to Pearls specifically, as it would account for Peridot's comments about Pearls being made to hold things. Although, in "Serious Steven", Garnet appears to be storing the temple key in her gemstones, since she has to summon it and was not carrying it with her prior to arriving at the Gem Battlefield. It should also be noted that the comics are of debatable canon when it comes to their relation to the TV show. In "Nightmare Hospital", it is confirmed that Gems do not have a heart or heartbeat. It is implied in "Catch and Release" that Gems produce bodily waste after consuming food (presumably by shapeshifting a digestive system). As revealed in "Message Received", Gems are differentiated from other Gems of their category by identification codes based on "Facet", then "Cut" or "Cabochon". For example, Peridot's specification is Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG, while Nephrite's specification is Facet-413 Cabochon-12. Pearl mentioned in "Last One Out of Beach City" that she could not get a driver's license due to being an alien. This is likely because Pearl is not a legal citizen and thus ineligible for government licensing. According to Rebecca Sugar, blue Gems like Sapphire are created with diplomatic skills.[25] And later in the Ultimate Crossover Fundraiser that blue Gems can be introspective and a little judgmental.[26] She also states that orange Gems are leaner on the active side as they take action.[27] Gems typically have their gemstones exposed in plain view, despite their gemstone being their most vulnerable spot. In "Three Gems and a Baby", Steven would become fussy and try to undo his clothes to expose his gemstone, suggesting there may be a reason why Gems leave their gemstones exposed. In "Adventures in Light Distortion", it is revealed that if a Gem ship is traveling faster than the speed of light, a Gem's 'hard-light' body will fall behind and lose form. Usually, Gems of the same type have identical looking gemstones with the same shape and facets. For example, Rose Quartzes have round pink gemstones with pentagonal facets. However, there are some Gems that deviate from this. There have been Jaspers shown with round gemstones and kite-shaped gemstones. Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond's gemstones are both diamond-shaped but with slightly different dimensions, while Pink Diamond and White Diamond's gemstones are more like a realistic typical earth-cut diamond. The Crystal Gems' Pearl and Aubergine Pearl has an oval-shaped gemstone, while other Pearls shown have had perfectly round gemstones. While most Amethysts shown have a circular purple gemstone with a hexagonal facet, some Amethysts' gemstones are slightly different shades of purple. In "Gem Heist", one burgundy-colored Amethyst is shown to have a square-faceted gemstone (rather than hexagonal). However, whether or not this was an animation error is unclear. The Rutile Twins' joint gemstone has two long segments conjoined together, implying that normal Rutiles' gemstones consist of just one elongated segment. Gem art and architecture seem to be heavily influenced by Middle-Eastern and Art Deco designs. In the Pilot, the Gems all had visible ears, and in early episodes Amethyst is the only Gem with consistently drawn ears at times where her hair is at a position that shows them. It is unknown why this was changed. Some Gems are based on minerals that, in reality, were named after specific people, creatures, foods, or places (such as Holly Blue Agate, Sugilite, Larimar, Tiger's Eye, Watermelon Tourmaline, or Serpentine) exclusive to Earth. The implications of this, such as whether these Gems are the in-universe reason why such minerals are named so, are unknown. Pearls, however, are the only gems not based on minerals, since in real life pearls are organic matter (specifically calcium carbonate) from oysters and other mollusks, but culturally are considered to have the same value aesthetic properties as gemstones. Rebecca Sugar stated that Gems represent non-binary women like herself. While they do not consider themselves women, they do not mind being thought of as such.[28] A reply by Rebecca Sugar in a Reddit AMA implied that Gems whose color scheme is a combination of two Diamonds' color schemes are created by a joint effort of said Diamonds. The hypothetical Gem in question was Lepidolite who, as a purple Gem, would've been created by both Blue and Pink Diamond. The origin of how Gems were first created is unknown. In a YouTube video uploaded by the channel them, Jinkx Monsoon, voice actress for Emerald, recalls Rebecca stating "There are no bad Gems, just Gems that haven't learned how to be good yet".[29] Gems' gemstones emit sound as revealed by Priyanka's stethoscope in Growing Pains.

    Keys: Blue Diamond. · Secondary: Secondary character.

    Blue Diamond, or Blue for short, is a Homeworld Gem and a member of the Great Diamond Authority that formerly ruled over the Gem race. She first appears in a flashback in "The Answer" and debuts in person in "Steven's Dream". As a result of Era 3, Blue Diamond now uses her powers to bring joy to other Gems through her clouds, created from her vaporized tears, which make someone happy once coming into contact with them.

    Appearance As one of the rulers of Homeworld, Blue Diamond has a massive size, with her towering height making her own Pearl appear tiny in comparison. However, her somewhat hunched posture, combined with her long, sweeping cloak, gives her a relatively smaller and more despondent silhouette than if she were standing straight.

    Her complexion is azure, and she has long, straight, alice blue hair which curls inward at the ends. Two noticeable and symmetrical locks of her hair curl and point inwards towards her face just below her cheekbones. A unique feature of her hair are two lengths of that lead from each side of her head and physically connect on her chest just below her gem, giving it an almost shawl-like appearance. She has a long ovoid face, a full upper lip, and a straight nose. She also possesses large, sad, downward-slanting eyes with bold mascara on the lower lashes, giving the appearance of a weeping woman – most likely due to her depression over the supposed shattering of Pink Diamond. Her irises are cyan with black diamond-shaped pupils and she has thin arching eyebrows.

    Her gemstone is located on her chest above her sternum, and she wears a long navy blue cloak that touches the ground. Underneath the upper part of her cloak, she wears a navy blue hood. Her height is similar to Yellow Diamond, only obscured by her hunched posture making her look shorter.

    Personality Before Era 3 Blue Diamond's debut portrays her as a very mellow Diamond who treats high-ranking members of her court with respect, given her assigned role to act as an enforcer and arbiter of Gem society. According to Holly Blue Agate, Blue Diamond has a reputation for mercy and forgiveness. "Saving" Greg from the threat of the Cluster after taking a liking to him, unaware that the Cluster is no longer active, demonstrates this. Another example of Blue being merciful is when she restrained herself from attacking "Rose Quartz" (Steven) and gives him a chance to speak. However, as with Yellow Diamond, her true nature may be at odds with her reputation, as she sentences Ruby to be shattered for accidentally fusing with Sapphire while trying to do her job and saving her.

    Steven's Dream 205 Blue Diamond's temperament appears to have changed significantly in the 5,000 years following the supposed shattering of Pink Diamond. She fell into a prolonged state of grief and depression upon believing Pink Diamond was shattered. She is unable to let go of the past, becoming fixated on preserving Pink Diamond's legacy. Her efforts to maintain the late diamond's zoo, save Earth specimens from the Cluster's emergence, and her refusal to shatter the Rose Quartzes that once served under Pink Diamond shows this behavior. She continues to regard the Earth as Pink Diamond's colony, and, due to being unaware that the Cluster is bubbled, is visibly saddened by the fact that the planet will eventually be destroyed.

    Additionally, Blue Diamond seems to not understand humans, given by how she was surprised that Greg was able to comprehend and sympathize with her pain of losing a loved one, in addition to displaying an apparent unawareness of masculine pronouns, though this is understandable since she is not native to Earth and has had very little reason to get to know humans.

    The Trial 135 Blue Diamond, as shown in the episode "The Trial", is extremely diplomatic. Against Yellow Diamond's wishes, she allowed Steven to continue making his case during his trial, though she did lose her temper when his recounting of events differed. She nonetheless seemed to want to hear the defending Zircon's theory on how and why Pink Diamond was shattered. When Yellow Diamond snaps and poofs both Zircons present at the trial, Blue Diamond confronts her and scolds her for not having enough restraint to hear the case out. This shows that Blue Diamond may be as merciful and forgiving as her gems claim – at the very least, she certainly has greater respect for due process and an interest in the truth.

    In "Reunited", despite her unreasoning aggression towards the Crystal Gems, Steven later heard Blue's thoughts, that despite seeking to do them harm it only made the pain she felt worsen and her longing to see Pink grow.

    After learning of Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond being the same person, she has shown concern over Steven along with Yellow Diamond. She has also shown extreme affection for Steven/Pink as seen through the effect her powers have on those around her, as along with extreme sentimentalism causing Yellow to have to reign her in. Additionally, Blue is shown to have a humorous side to her, poking fun at Steven's name in "Familiar" and making remarks that amuse Yellow and White Diamond in "Change Your Mind".

    Together Alone 164 Despite her more merciful, compassionate, and forgiving nature, she is shown to be extremely unforgiving and derogatory towards fusions of different gems, something that she shares in common with Yellow Diamond. In "Together Alone", she was extremely cynical and cruel to the Crystal Gems, especially Garnet, referring to her as "that". She also demanded Steven and Connie un-fuse and doesn't stop Yellow Diamond from locking Stevonnie in a prison tower.

    Change Your Mind 145 However, after Steven challenges her beliefs when she comes back to check on him, she breaks down and realized that she had been making Pink Diamond suffer all those times she locked her up and made her cry. She remorsefully admits that it was right of Pink to leave Homeworld since she hadn't been treating her right. With this resolve, she decides to help Steven and Connie escape, even going as far as accepting Steven as himself and briefly fighting Yellow Diamond to help him and his friends make it safely back to Earth.

    After Era 3 Homeworld Bound 112 Throughout Steven Universe: The Movie, Blue is shown to be much more caring and gentle when speaking with others than she previously was. Like her fellow Diamonds, she was originally clingy towards Steven.

    In "Homeworld Bound", it is revealed that Blue has realized the error of her ways when it comes to trying to get others to feel the emotional pain she felt, and that she now desires to bring happiness to others, freely letting other Gems experience joy when laying on her clouds. She is also shown to be extremely helpful and loving towards Steven and Spinel, having fun with the latter, and desperately attempting to aid the former with his newfound issues.

    History Ancient History Not much is known about Blue Diamond's exact past. Over the course of thousands of years, Blue Diamond amassed a great amount of respect, colonies, and Gems. Her role in the Great Diamond Authority was one of diplomacy, meaning she enforced White Diamond's rules on Homeworld.

    Familiar 274 When Pink Diamond was eventually created, Blue and the other Diamonds grew a close relationship with her. Blue found Pink's immature personality to be charming at times, but would also tend to be strict on her under specific circumstances. In "Familiar", Blue recalls a time where Pink named a batch of Pyrite "Fool's Gold" to White's dismay. She also recalls the many times her, Yellow, and White would gather at her pool area, where Pink would sing underneath the water while they would attempt to guess the song. Blue, along with the other Diamonds, would also attend the many parties Pink would hold in celebration of the Diamond Authority's achievements.

    Whenever Pink was locked in the tower as punishment, Blue would come to reprimand her for her wrongdoing. One such incident involved Pink bringing colorful organic creatures into the ballroom, only for them to run loose through the palace and chase the Pearls around. One of the creatures had crawled up Blue's neck, making her shriek and swat it away. An exasperated Blue added that White was displeased to the point that she would likely take Pink's Pearl away.

    Over 6,000 Years Ago Pink was eventually given charge of her own colony, the planet Earth. She realized the beauty of this world and wished to cease the colonization process. She pleaded with Blue to spare Earth for the sake of the organic life thriving on it, only to be refused. Blue instead had humans gathered from their families and gave Pink her own Zoo.

    Over 5,750 Years Ago Unbeknownst to Blue and the other Diamonds, Pink has created her alter-ego Rose Quartz and rebelled alongside her Pearl to form the Crystal Gems. In retaliation, Blue Diamond gathers her court and calls upon a Sapphire to Earth's Cloud Arena to know what Rose's next move would be. She later thanks Sapphire for receiving her vision that the Crystal Gems would soon attack the Cloud Arena, believing the Rebellion would end that day.

    When the Crystal Gems eventually show up, Blue Diamond flees in her palanquin, but later threatens to shatter Ruby when she accidentally fuses with Sapphire during the bedlam.

    On the Moon Base, Blue scolds Pink for continuously coming up with excuses to cease colonization, and reassures her that as long as she maintains positivity, her Gems would reflect that and inevitably end the Rebellion.

    Around 5,050 Years Ago When Pink stages her own shattering and continues her life as Rose Quartz, Blue believes her to be truly gone and is flung into a deep depression. In addition to taking over Pink's Zoo, Blue becomes obsessed with preserving anything that is related to Pink and remains in a constant state of mourning and regret for thousands of years.

    Your Mother and Mine (250) Along with the other Diamonds, Blue assists in unleashing the Corrupting Light with the hopes of wiping out all Gems on Earth but instead causes any Gems exposed to the light to become Corrupted.

    "The Answer" On his birthday, Garnet explains to Steven about how Ruby and Sapphire first met. After Rose Quartz and Pearl rebel, Blue Diamond calls Sapphire to Earth to share a vision of the future. Once Sapphire explains what the rebels will do on the Cloud Arena, Blue Diamond thanks Sapphire for her vision. Once Rose and Pearl show up, Blue Diamond's Palanquin grows spider legs to get her to safety and protect her. Blue Diamond is later disgusted by Ruby and Sapphire's fusion, threatening to shatter Ruby for fusing with a member of her court.

    "It Could've Been Great" When Steven asks Peridot who the mural behind him is depicting, Peridot reveals that it is Blue Diamond.

    "Steven's Dream" Steven's Dream 173 Blue Diamond returns to Earth one last time to pay her respects to Pink Diamond before, as she believes, the Cluster will emerge, unaware that Steven had contained the superweapon months earlier. Blue Diamond expresses regret over how she should have done more, and wonders what Pink Diamond would think of the Cluster destroying her colony. After Greg reveals himself, Blue Diamond asks her Pearl to bring Greg to her.

    She then states how she is impressed by humanity's ability to survive in the wild and remarks on the irony that a fragile human can survive on Earth while a being as powerful as a Diamond can perish. When Greg tells her that he also lost someone close to him, Blue Diamond is surprised that a human can sympathize with her, and is glad that she can save Greg from the Cluster. She forcefully takes Greg and boards her ship with the goal of bringing him to Pink Diamond's Zoo.

    "Adventures in Light Distortion" Pearl and Amethyst are shocked to hear that Blue Diamond was on Earth and that she took Greg with her when she left. Pearl realizes that she may have taken him to Pink Diamond's zoo. Later, Garnet reminds Steven that Greg's kidnapping wasn't his fault, but Blue Diamond's.

    "Gem Heist" Holly Blue Agate reveals that after Pink Diamond was shattered, Blue Diamond took over her Zoo in an attempt to preserve her legacy. Blue Diamond and Holly Blue have been maintaining the Zoo since Era 2 began.

    "The Zoo" Steven reveals that he was scared when Blue Diamond took his dad.

    "That Will Be All" That Will Be All 121 Blue Diamond returns to the Zoo to mourn alongside a room full of bubbled Rose Quartzes. She is shocked to find Yellow Diamond entering the room and tells her that she just wants to cry alone. Blue Diamond listens to Yellow Diamond's song, comforts Yellow when it ends, and is greeted afterward by Holly Blue Agate and the Crystal Gems. Blue Diamond does not understand what Holly Blue means by Sapphire's "special delivery". Once Sapphire lies and tells her that she foresaw Blue Diamond requesting more humans for the zoo, Blue Diamond believes her and is sad to announce that there is limited time to retrieve more humans due to the Cluster.

    "Doug Out" While talking about how intense Steven's life can be, Connie reminds him that he snuck out of the zoo past Blue and Yellow.

    "I Am My Mom" Pearl realizes that, if Topaz and Aquamarine are kidnapping people on Earth, they must be doing so on orders from Yellow and Blue directly.

    "The Trial" The Trial 044 Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond both act as judges for Steven's trial. Blue Diamond first appears beside Yellow Diamond after her Pearl introduces her. She wonders where Rose Quartz is, and when Yellow suggests shattering Rose just for "looking like that", Blue Diamond says she wants to hear her make her case. She also states that she wants to punish Rose for what she did to Pink Diamond.

    After listening to the prosecuting Zircon's case, Steven tells the Diamonds that he shattered Pink Diamond, prompting Blue Diamond to ask Steven how he did it. Steven doesn't know how so he makes up a story, but when he brings up the Breaking Point, Blue Diamond loses her composure and causes the whole room to cry. She states that Rose shattered Pink Diamond with a sword.

    The Trial 217 The court takes a short recess, after which the defending Zircon asks to use Blue Diamond's palanquin fort her argument. Blue Diamond allows this, and the defending Zircon presents evidence that shows Rose couldn't have shattered Pink Diamond, which surprises Blue Diamond. The defending Zircon unintentionally accuses the Diamonds of being behind Pink Diamond's shattering, shocking Blue Diamond. When Yellow Diamond poofs both Zircons, Blue Diamond yells at her to stop, asking her to restrain herself. The two are distracted by their argument, which allows Steven and Lars hijack her palanquin and escape through the ceiling.

    "Off Colors" Lars recounts how Yellow and Blue were furious at Steven, to which Steven explains who they are.

    "Raising the Barn" Steven tells Lapis Lazuli and Peridot about his Homeworld adventure, describing his trial in front of the Diamonds and subsequent escape in a commandeered palanquin, much to Peridot and Lapis' shock. Afraid that the Diamonds will eventually find them on Earth, Lapis leaves the planet with The Barn in tow.

    "Your Mother and Mine" Blue Diamond appears in Garnet's story of Rose Quartz, shown to assist Pink Diamond after the rebellion began. Alongside Yellow and White Diamond, she helps corrupt most of the remaining Gems on Earth at the end of the Rebellion.

    "Can't Go Back" Blue Diamond appears in Steven's dream about the Diamonds. She advises Pink Diamond to deal with the growing Rebellion on Earth shortly before the latter's assassination. After Steven informs Lapis Lazuli about his dream, she misunderstands its meaning, causing her to abandon Earth and the moon forever.

    "A Single Pale Rose" Steven has a brief flashback to "The Trial", where he remembers Blue Diamond listening to the defending Zircon's case.

    Blue Diamond is indirectly mentioned by Gem War Pearl when she says "There was a bright light and everyone was – why did I do it?" The bright light refers to the light the remaining Diamonds used to corrupt the remaining rebels. She is also mentioned by Rose Quartz when talking with Pearl. Rose says "Blue and Yellow don't care! They never have!" just before turning back to Pink Diamond to fake her shattering.

    "Now We're Only Falling Apart" Blue and Yellow Diamond appear in Pearl's flashback about Pink Diamond. Pink pleads with them to spare the Earth, but they both refuse to listen, forcing her to begin the Rebellion as Rose Quartz.

    "Reunited" Reunited (474) Blue and Yellow Diamond arrive on Earth during Garnet's wedding intending to awaken the Cluster. While Yellow Diamond is busy fighting the Cluster, Blue Diamond lands on the beach and engages in combat with the Crystal Gems. After a brief fight, Blue easily overpowers all of them using her emotional powers. Connie, unaffected by Blue's powers, attacks her with Rose's sword, but Blue Diamond is able to stop the attack, breaking the sword in the process.

    Garnet is able to fight through the sadness, confronting Blue Diamond and reminding her of the last time they met. Garnet grabs onto Blue Diamond's skirt and complains about her special day being ruined, which Blue Diamond is confused by. However, Garnet reveals that she was just trying to keep Blue Diamond from moving out of the way. She looks up to see Lapis Lazuli above, who then proceeds to drop the barn on top of her.

    Blue Diamond reemerges from the rubble, surprised to see that Lapis is immune to her sadness. Lapis keeps Blue Diamond chained with water, but she's able to break free and continue her fight against the Crystal Gems. Peridot distracts her by hanging onto her face, which allows Lapis time to throw the rest of the Crystal Gems towards Blue Diamond with her hydrokinesis. Steven's final attack knocks her over, and as the Cluster wins against Yellow Diamond, Blue is crushed by both of their ships.

    Reunited (934) Yellow Diamond lifts Blue's ship off of her, as the two prepare to face off against the Crystal Gems. After Yellow knocks Steven unconscious, Blue Diamond continues to fight the Gems, thinking about not matter how much she makes them suffer, she will never be able to see Pink again. She feels a presence near her, and she and Yellow begin to defend against it. However, when they recognize it as Pink Diamond, they cease their fighting, realizing Steven is the source of the aura.

    "Legs From Here to Homeworld" Legs From Here to Homeworld 009 Blue Diamond hugs Steven, crying tears of joy and relief after finding out that Pink Diamond was not shattered. This causes the surrounding Gems to cry tears as well, which Pearl explains to Connie to be one of her powers. After questioning Steven, Yellow Diamond asks Blue to stop crying, as it's affecting her vision. Blue Diamond becomes distraught, revealing that the Diamonds thought the Corrupting Light destroyed the Gems on Earth.

    Steven and the Crystal Gems take Blue and Yellow to the Ancient Gem Colony Ship to show them a Corrupted Gem. He encourages the Diamonds to attempt to heal the Corrupted Gem, and with their combined powers, they're able to temporarily restore Nephrite. However, once they let go of her, Nephrite returns to her Corrupted form. When Yellow Diamond suggests that White Diamond would be needed to completely reverse Corruption, Blue becomes fearful and says that they can't let her see the Corrupted Gems.

    When Steven expresses a desire to speak to White Diamond, Blue tells him that she doesn't think he'll have luck with that, as she reveals White hasn't left Homeworld in eons. He takes them along with Lion to Rose's Landfill, where Yellow and Blue are confused that he doesn't know what Pink's leg ship looks like. After he accidentally activates it, they return to Beach City as Blue and Yellow will let Steven tell Greg and Connie tell her parents that they're going to Gem Homeworld before to prepare for launch.

    Legs From Here to Homeworld 308 In the ship, Blue cries about how long it's been since they've flown in Pink's ship. She stops crying after Yellow reminds her of the effect it has on other Gems. During their flight in hyperspace, Blue tells Steven that White can be difficult.

    After landing, Blue and Yellow decide to see White Diamond first in an attempt to soften the blow, but they're interrupted by White Pearl, who requests Pink Diamond's presence. When Blue and Yellow attempt to accompany Steven, White Pearl says that only Pink Diamond is necessary and takes Steven away without them.

    "Familiar" Familiar 172 Blue Diamond sends her Pearl to retrieve Steven for her, who finds her combing her hair with Comby. She's delighted to see Steven, who joins her in the pool with cannonball. Blue remarks that Steven is silly and small, admitting she's happy that Pink is back and calling Steven by his name. When Steven comments on this, Blue states that it's a funny name and that Pink is very creative.

    She asks Steven if he remembers the game they used to play, and Steven apologizes that he doesn't. Blue tells him that Pink used to stand at the bottom of the water and sing, while the rest of the Diamonds would sit above the surface and try to guess what she was singing. Blue reveals that they haven't been in the pool together since Era 2 started, as they were saddened by Pink's empty place. Blue Pearl arrives to remind her Diamond of her next appointment, and as Blue leaves the pool, the water drains after her.

    Later, while going through Pink Diamond's old room, Steven finds some of Pink's old drawings. One of these depicts the Diamonds without Pink, in which Blue Diamond looks sad. In the drawing with Pink, Blue appears to be smiling.

    "Together Alone" When Steven presents the idea of throwing another ball, Blue is delighted by the prospect and suggests it could be the start of Era 3. She offers her and Yellow's Pearls to help him set up the ball, expecting it to be grand since White is going to be there.

    Together Alone 174 Blue checks in on Steven's progress on the ball, appearing annoyed that Steven isn't going to change his form. When he states that he wants the rest of the Crystal Gems to come, Blue separates him from them and states that they need to present their best selves for White. She says that Pearl and Steven's "pet" (Connie) will be allowed, but Amethyst will need Limb Enhancers and Garnet must unfuse. She mocks Garnet's name as well as the idea of her entering with other Garnets. When Steven doesn't know what it means to ring in the ball, Blue takes the Pearls and tells him she'll take care of it.

    At the ball, Blue is presented by her Pearl. She tells Steven that he's doing a great job. She sits on her throne as the ball continues, but becomes outraged when Steven and Connie accidentally fuse into Stevonnie. She is disappointed as Stevonnie is thrown into the tower.

    "Escapism" Steven, in the body of a Watermelon Steven, draws a picture of events on Homeworld in the sand that includes Blue Diamond.

    "Change Your Mind" Change Your Mind 028 While sleeping, Steven experiences of one of Pink Diamond's past imprisonments, and sees Blue Diamond enter the tower to chastise Pink for her latest breach of conduct. Following the incident where the organic creatures Pink brought into the ballroom were now running loose through the Palace, Blue radiated her pathogenetic aura and warned her that if she didn't start acting as she should, White would take her Pearl away.

    Waking up in the present, Steven and Connie sees Blue enter the tower and chastise him in an identical manner. Steven attempts to get through to Blue Diamond, but his efforts result in her firing an energy blast at him. Steven then asks Blue how many times she made Pink Diamond cry. Despite denying it at first, Blue realizes how many times she actually did, and realizes why Pink left. Having a change of heart, Blue realizes that she always thought that Pink was failing Homeworld, but if Pink was happier on Earth, then Homeworld was failing her.

    Change Your Mind 215 Blue then brings Steven and Connie to Pink's room, where Steven changes back into his old clothes, and then to Yellow Diamond's bubble chamber so they can retrieve the bubbled Crystal Gems. Yellow attempts to get Blue to return "Pink and her pet" back to the prison tower, and when Blue refuses and accepts Steven as his own being, the two fight and Yellow attempts to poof Blue. Steven stops her and makes her realizes the error of her ways, and Blue comforts Yellow after the latter breaks down in tears.

    Blue and Yellow attempt to help Steven and Connie escape Homeworld, only to be stopped by White Pearl, controlled by White Diamond, who merges White's head ship with Pink's leg ship. Despite this, Blue and Yellow's repaired ships, controlled by Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis, manage to punch White's ship away. Steven then encourages Blue and Yellow to talk to White, and even after they express how miserable they are under her rule, White mind controls them and they transport inside her ship.

    Change Your Mind 640 Blue and Yellow later reappear after the Crystal Gems have entered White's ship, where White remarks that Blue thinks she needs Pink. After White pulls out Steven's gemstone and it morphs into a pink version of Steven, Blue aids White and the other Gems she's controlling in blasting Pink Steven, but it fails and she is knocked down. She later blushes pink when White and the other Gems she's controlling do the same and is then freed from White's control once White is defeated.

    When White reaches out to them, Blue turns her head away as Yellow remarks that White is "off-color" due to her pink blush. Blue later travels to Earth alongside the other Diamonds and is introduced to the Off-Colors. She also suggests using Pink/Rose's fountain to channel the Diamonds' powers onto the Corrupted Gems to heal them. After this is successful, Blue returns to Homeworld alongside Yellow and White, bidding farewell to Steven and the Crystal Gems.

    Steven Universe: The Movie Two years later, in a transmission to Gems across the universe, White Diamond tells the story of Pink Diamond, which includes Blue. White recounts Steven reuniting with the Diamonds and founding Era 3. When Steven rejects Pink Diamond's throne, Blue becomes confused and begs him to stay after White has the feed cut. The Diamonds sing "Let Us Adore You" together, where they beg Steven to stay on Homeworld with them. Blue reminds him that she never shatters or makes anyone cry anymore. However, he ends up leaving them to return to Earth.

    As Pearl regains her memories, White, Yellow, and Blue are depicted giving her to Pink Diamond. Blue Diamond is later seen in Spinel's flashback to her time with Pink Diamond, giving Pink the news that she will be receiving her own colony.

    SU Movie 1942 Without Steven, the Diamonds decide to move to Earth so they can spend more time with him. Upon their arrival, though, they discover that Beach City is in disrepair. When White comments on this, Blue mentions that they aren't judging, and White continues that judging based on appearances is bad. Steven then reintroduces the Diamonds to Spinel, who they are immediately smitten by. They decide to take Spinel back to live with them on Homeworld, singing "Let Us Adore You (Reprise)" as they return to their ship and fly away.

    "Little Homeschool" Blue and the other Diamonds are featured on the cover of the "Era 3 & Me!" pamphlet.

    "In Dreams" Blue Diamond appears in Steven's dream as a dolphin.

    "Growing Pains" When recalling traumatic events from his childhood, Steven thinks about Blue Diamond interrogating him under the impression he was Rose Quartz, as well as Blue using her emotional powers on him after he was thrown in the tower.

    "Homeworld Bound" Homeworld Bound 095 Having run away to Homeworld, Yellow Diamond sends Steven and Spinel to Blue, as she believes Blue will be able to help him feel better. Blue explains to Steven that when she decided she wanted to bring joy to others, her tears evaporated and turned into clouds that bring happiness to all who touch them.

    Blue encourages Steven to try her clouds, and he ends up indulging her as she sings "My Little Reason Why" to him and Spinel. However, as her song ends, Steven begins to feel as though he doesn't deserve happiness and falls from his cloud. Blue decides to send him towards White Diamond, believing her to be better equipped to handle issues of self worth.

    As Steven flees from White's chamber, he passes by Blue and Yellow. Spinel and the Diamonds follow him, begging him to stay and let them help him. Blue tells him that they're his family, but Steven apologizes and warps back to Earth.

    "I Am My Monster" I Am My Monster 125 Blue Diamond crying over the thought of being responsible for Steven's suffering from the Diamonds.

    Blue Diamond, alongside the other Diamonds and Spinel, travels to Earth in order to check on Steven and return his sandal. After seeing Steven in his monstrous form, the Diamonds are shocked with Blue Diamond wondering if he is corrupted. The Diamonds all try using their new powers to help Steven, but to no avail. Despite previously stating she won't cry again, Blue Diamond starts to cry, remarking how Steven's suffering is the fault of the Diamonds' doings.

    I Am My Monster 200 Blue happily watches on Steven.

    After an inspirational speech by Connie, Garnet plans for everyone to work together in order to show Steven how much everyone cares for him. Blue Diamond's job is to use her new cloud powers to lift Pearl, Amethyst and Greg up and carry them over the ocean towards Steven. After the Crystal Gems' attempt to calm Steven down proves to be effective, Blue Diamond engages in a group hug, making Steven turn back to his normal self. With Steven resting and crying on top of the Cluster's hand, everyone gathers around him, relieved he is back to his normal self.

    Abilities Being a Diamond, Blue Diamond is one of the most powerful Gems in the entire Gem Empire, who demonstrated the ability to take on the Crystal Gems by herself. She possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability, but since she is a Diamond, the abilities are expected to be much greater than usual. In "Reunited", she is noted to have astounding mental strength. In general, while she doesn't have hydrokinesis most of her abilities are framed as aquatic in nature, from her tears to her "clouds" to the water-like appearance of her aura.

    Skillset Spaceship Piloting: Blue Diamond has a spaceship only she is capable of controlling with her left hand, until it was repaired by Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis Lazuli. She is able to use the ship in combat. Natural Abilities Immense Strength: Change Your Mind 214 Blue Diamond fighting Yellow Diamond

    Due to how large she is, Blue Diamond is extremely strong, she is able to lift humans and gems, such as Greg and Peridot, with ease. She was also able to break Rose's sword with just the snap of her fingers and throw the barn off of her in a fit of rage. Most impressively, she was able to match Yellow Diamond in physical strength. Immense Durability: Barn falling Blue Diamond durability

    Blue Diamond seems to have extreme durability, as after the Crystal Gems literally threw themselves at her, and she was hit by Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet, Bismuth, Lion's sonic roar, and Steven's spiked bubble, she fell onto her knees, but quickly recovered, and seemingly suffered minimal damage from being crushed first under a barn and then her own warship. In addition, she is able to resist Yellow Diamond's electrokinesis for several seconds, while other Gems would have poofed immediately upon being hit by it. This is likely due to her sharing the same invulnerable nature as her gem, much as how Peridot's gem type gives her extreme durability. Enhanced Speed: As seen in "I Am My Monster", Blue Diamond is just as fast as Yellow Diamond, who is remarkably fast. Unique Abilities Aura Projection: Reunited (610) Blue Diamond's aura

    The Diamonds can project an aura around them that they can control; they can either radiate it from their entire bodies or emit it from specific parts of their bodies (i.e., their hands). Blue's aura is blue and has water-like properties (evident by allowing her to make gems cry). Though intangible, Blue was able to break Lapis' water chains from her hands upon coating her hands with her aura. She can use this as an offensive ability in both the physical and mental plane, as seen when she was able to focus her aura and attack Steven as he was astral projecting. Sadness Inducement: Blue Diamond Blue Sadness Blue Diamond's powers, activated by a surge of emotion.

    Blue Diamond can engulf a large area with her aura, causing any Gem or Half-Gem within its reach to be overwhelmed with intense feelings of sadness and cry uncontrollably, even affecting Yellow Diamond to a limited degree. Blue Diamond seems to activate this ability involuntary whenever she is shedding tears in an emotional state (e.g. joy or nostalgia), albeit to a lesser degree since she doesn't radiate her blue aura during these instances. When she weaponized her grief over Pink Diamond's supposed death, she instantly rendered the Crystal Gems unable to fight, also splitting all but the most stable Gem fusions that got caught in her aura apart, as Alexandrite came undone as soon as she was affected, while Garnet remained whole. The level of resistance to the ability varies, specifically regarding non-Gems: after being engulfed by Blue's aura, Connie did kneel in tears with the rest of the Gems, despite her not being affected by it the first time (she's also immune to it in the following episode); Lion was apparently impervious to its effects, but whether this was due to his revival by Rose Quartz is unknown; Lapis Lazuli, having undergone extreme emotional trauma, was seen resisting the aura's effect and barely shed a tear upon being affected. Corruption Induction: Though the attack was meant to obliterate the Crystal Gems on Earth after Pink's supposed shattering, Blue, Yellow, and White Diamond's collective powers instead corrupted the remaining Gems on Earth. Corruption Reversal: Along with Pink/Steven, White, and Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond has the ability to reverse the effects of the Corrupting Light on Gems. However, it is implied that this is only temporary without the power of all four Diamonds. The four reversed the corruption on the water of Rose's Fountain in "Change Your Mind". Psychic Resistance: Blue Diamond's aura shields her from telepathic abilities through the sheer intensity of her thoughts, even without her own awareness. This includes Steven's (and to extension Pink Diamond's) astral projection, as seen when she briefly repelled Steven, though this resistance doesn't extend to White Diamond's mind control. Psychic Blast: While on the mental plane, Blue Diamond can fire her aura as a beam which induces profound distress on the target; however, despite combining her assault with Yellow Diamond's, it was repelled by Steven's own aura. Psychic Detection: Blue Diamond is also able to locate others on the mental plane when they aren't in physical contact with her, such as Steven. Energy Projection: Blue Diamond attack Blue Diamond's energy projection.

    Whats the use of feeling Blue Diamond's Energy Construction

    Blue Diamond is shown to have some form of energy projection power that she uses for battle. The energy can be molded into different projectiles, from spheres to a hail of lasers, or combinations thereof. Once Blue Diamond broke free of Lapis water chains, she was able to create a ball of stellar light and it was able to shoot out blasts and explosions. She was able to form large spheres of energy dense enough to physically push back Yellow Diamond and summon one powerful enough to cause Yellow Diamond to cry in pain after being struck with it. Cloud Generation: In "Homeworld Bound", Blue Diamond is shown to be able to create clouds from, according to herself, her evaporated tears. Gems are able to ride these clouds. Joy Inducement: When a Gem touches a cloud, they feel joy, which resembles the opposite of Blue's crying inducement. Blue uses them to try to help Steven feel better, though she is ultimately unsuccessful. Clandestine Abilities White Capsule Generation: While controlled by White Diamond, Blue Diamond can create a kind of white capsule around itself or other gems, with several utilities. Levitational Transport: The capsule can also float around, as seen in "Change Your Mind". Teleportation: The capsule can also teleport Blue Diamond, as seen in "Change Your Mind". Levitation: While controlled by White Diamond, Blue Diamond has the ability to, indirectly, suspend her body. Optical White Burst: While controlled by White Diamond, Blue Diamond is capable of emitting a sudden blast of white energy (equivalent to White Diamond's aura) from both her eyes. Those hit by this energy are then linked to White Diamond's hive mind and under her total mental control. Relationships Yellow Diamond “ Didn't we hurt Pink!? She was suffering in silence for ages! Just like our Gems! Just like me! And I know you're suffering in silence, too!

    ” —Blue Diamond, "Change Your Mind" That Will Be All 148 Blue comforting Yellow in one of her rare moments of weakness.

    Due to their roles as the Gem matriarchs, Blue and Yellow Diamond treat each other with respect, considering themselves equals. However, Pink Diamond's shattering is a source of friction between them, as Yellow and Blue Diamond have been arguing for thousands of years over their different ways of coping with the loss of Pink Diamond. Despite their differing beliefs, they still care about each other, as when Yellow nearly broke down after singing "What's the Use of Feeling (Blue)?", Blue comforted her by placing a hand on her back. Similarly, Yellow and Blue are holding each other when they enter the trial room, and Yellow places her hands on Blue's shoulders when she breaks down at the trial.

    The Trial 228 Blue yelling at Yellow for attacking the Zircons.

    Their attitude toward legal matters suits their roles as overruling authority figures. Yellow Diamond is a militant, considering trials as pointless and would prefer unhesitating action while Blue Diamond prefers to hear every opinion possible to determine the best possible decision even through slow, lengthy processes. When Yellow Diamond is outraged by the fact that the defending Zircon accused one of the Diamonds of Pink Diamond's shattering, she poofs both of the Zircons, which makes Blue Diamond angry, yelling at her fellow Diamond "Can't you restrain yourself!?"

    In "Reunited", when trying to explain he has Pink Diamond's gem to Yellow and Blue Diamond, Steven claims that Yellow, Blue, and Pink see/saw each other as family.

    After discovering that Pink was never shattered, Blue and Yellow seem to have become slightly closer, as their different ways of coping with Pink's death have become irrelevant. Blue encourages patience in Yellow, and Yellow comforts Blue when she becomes upset at the mention of White Diamond.

    Change Your Mind 275 Blue holding Yellow after the latter breaks down in tears.

    Blue knows that despite acting otherwise, Yellow is every bit as miserable with her role in Homeworld as she is. When Blue decides to help Steven and Connie return to Earth, Yellow tells her to return them to the prison tower. Blue refuses, and the two engage in a physical fight that results in Yellow attempting to poof Blue. Steven stops her and makes her realize just how much her actions have hurt Blue and Pink, the two people she cares about most. Yellow breaks into tears as Blue comforts her. The two later work together to help Steven escape Homeworld, and are later seen having fun together along with White at Rose's fountain.

    Pink Diamond “ Oh, Pink. I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I should've done more. Yellow says it'll all be over soon. I wonder what you would think. This is your planet, after all. I still think it is.

    ” —Blue Diamond, "Steven's Dream" Steven's Dream 176 Blue Diamond paying her respects at Pink Diamond's Palanquin.

    Blue Diamond describes her past relationship with Pink Diamond as a very close one. Pink would often try to lift her spirits by doing things Blue described as "silly." She was frustrated that Pink tended to show little regard for Homeworld's strict societal norms, though she made an effort to bend the rules for her sake. She grieved for her thousands of years after she believes Rose Quartz to have shattered her. In his dreams, Steven saw Pink Diamond's abandoned Palanquin where Blue Diamond knelt down and wept over her passing, which led him and Greg to seek out the location and find Blue Diamond there. Blue Diamond cares deeply about protecting Pink Diamond's legacy, causing her to take Greg to Pink Diamond's Zoo so that one more human can be saved before the Cluster destroys the Earth. Following Pink Diamond's shattering, Blue Diamond took over operations of the Zoo in an additional attempt to keep her memory alive, where she preserved all the remaining Rose Quartz gemstones in bubbles, contrary to Yellow Diamond's wishes, due to Pink Diamond's role in inventing the Gem type.

    “ You must understand. You... are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile, and wave. Show everyone you are unfazed by this little uprising. Your gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed.

    ” —Blue Diamond, "Can't Go Back" CantGoBack479 Blue scolding Pink for coming up with excuses to spare the Earth.

    During the events of "The Trial", Blue Diamond reveals that she's been wondering how Rose Quartz was able to get past all of Pink Diamond's attendants and shatter her in the first place. Because of this, she asks Steven (who she believes is Rose) how he committed the act, and becomes distraught when he doesn't know; nothing adds up. Blue Diamond appears very interested in the idea of an authority figure shattering Pink Diamond and is completely shocked when the defending Zircon states that it could have been one of the other Diamonds.

    Despite loving Pink in a familial way, Blue Diamond tended to disregard her opinions rather than acknowledge her as an equal in the Great Diamond Authority. During their time together on Homeworld, Pink would often be locked in a tower whenever she did anything Blue could not overlook and was often brought to tears by Blue's pathogenetic aura as further punishment. It is shown in "Can't Go Back" that Blue treated Pink like a child, telling her to stop coming up with excuses and forbidding her from arguing back while at the same time reassuring her it will all be fine because of her status. When Pink Diamond made a plea to call off the colonization of Earth in order to preserve the lives of its natives, Blue Diamond had the Zoo built for her to preserve select specimens instead. Blue and Yellow Diamonds' stubborn refusal to halt colonization efforts eventually led to Pink Diamond herself responding with rebellion under the alias of Rose Quartz.

    In "Reunited", when trying to explain he has Pink Diamond's gemstone to Yellow and Blue Diamond, Steven claims that Yellow, Blue, and Pink saw each other as family. After discovering Pink's true fate, Blue comes to believe Steven is her and treats him more kindly as a result. Though she was initially still trying to force Homeworld's way of life onto him, Steven managed to confront her and make her realize how abusive she was towards Pink whenever she went against Homeworld's ideals in "Change Your Mind", and she made up for it by helping Steven get back home.

    Steven Universe “ I never shatter, I never make anyone cry.

    ” —Blue Diamond, Steven Universe: The Movie Steven facing Blue Diamond Blue glaring at Steven furiously.

    Even before she knew of his existence, Steven made an empathetic connection with Blue Diamond that allowed him to feel her grief as she mourned at the palanquin of Pink Diamond. This behavior may be the result of feedback between Steven's empathy and Blue Diamond's own pathogenesis. He also overhears her conversation with Yellow Diamond on how to cope with Pink Diamond's shattering, which made him feel even more sympathy for her.

    Legs From Here to Homeworld 003 Blue hugging Steven in "Legs From Here to Homeworld".

    Upon meeting Steven in "The Trial" when he is claiming to be Rose Quartz, she feels nothing but scorn and wants to inflict the worst punishment possible upon him. Despite this, however, she shows restraint and mercy, even going as far as to host a trial to gather the information on how "Rose" shattered Pink Diamond before his sentence. During the trial, Blue Diamond showed frustration and grief afterward when Steven incorrectly recounted Rose Quartz's crime and showed shock at the revelation of a Diamond possibly being responsible.

    Familiar 179 Blue and Steven in the pool.

    However, as of "Reunited", she is finally aware that Rose Quartz is actually Pink Diamond and was never shattered in the first place. During the aftermath, she shows a genuine display of affection towards him by nuzzling him and hugging him. She also supports his efforts to cure the Corrupted Gems and expresses concern for him when he is brought to White Diamond.

    In "Familiar", she is delighted to see him again, noticing that he hasn't changed, and briefly manages to call him "Steven" before returning to calling him "Pink", remarking the former is a funny name.

    In "Together Alone", she attempts to discourage Steven from allowing the Crystal Gems to his "Era 3" ball but relents after he insists that they come.

    Change Your Mind 138 Blue decides to help Steven return to Earth.

    She visits Steven in the prison tower after he is imprisoned there for fusing with Connie and attempts to get him to apologize. When he refuses and attempts to reason with her, Blue instead attacks him with an energy blast. He does, however, manage to get her to realize just how many times she has made Pink cry, and Blue agrees to help him return to Earth, even fighting Yellow to do so.

    Blue Diamond was the first Diamond to make an effort to call Steven by his name instead of Pink like the rest of the Diamonds, although it's not entirely clear if she fully understands that Steven isn't Pink.

    During the time elapsed until the events of Steven Universe: The Movie, Blue, like Yellow and White, shows that she has become very attached to Steven, asking him to live with them at Homeworld in commemoration of Pink's legacy. She, along with the rest of the Diamonds, have confirmed they acknowledge Steven is not Pink Diamond yet they express a deep and almost overbearing love for him, as he reminds them so much of Pink.

    In "Homeworld Bound", she expresses gratitude towards Steven for changing her and Homeworld for the better, and calls out to him when he flees, telling him the Diamonds are his family. However, in "I Am My Monster", Blue Diamond believes that she and the other Diamonds are the cause of Steven's suffering.

    White Diamond “ White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh. All those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't. And we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy. But I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable.

    ” —Blue Diamond, "Change Your Mind" Change Your Mind 998 Blue laughing and playing with White.

    Blue Diamond seems to be afraid of White Diamond; she claims she is difficult to talk to and please. She reminisces to Steven of how much fun the four Diamonds used to have together in the days when Pink was still with them, indicating that White used to be closer to her fellow Diamonds than she is now. Blue and White appear to be close again after repairing their relationship along with Yellow, with White even smiling at Blue after she makes a remark.

    Spinel “ ♫ My little reason why I'll never make you cry ♫

    ” —Blue Diamond, "Homeworld Bound" Homeworld Bound 114 Blue Diamond, along with the rest of the Diamonds, met Spinel long ago when she was given to Pink Diamond as a playmate. Blue Diamond herself regards Spinel as one of Pink's lost treasures upon meeting her again and expressing sympathy for her after Steven informs them that Pink left Spinel alone on a floating garden in space. Upon White Diamond's suggestion that they take Spinel back with them to Homeworld, Blue immediately agrees, calling Spinel adorable and how she is so much like Pink, and Spinel happily accepts the Diamonds as her new friends.

    In "Homeworld Bound", she is shown to be very affectionate towards Spinel, being incredibly loving to her, and also inducing happiness onto her. Spinel is shown to sit in Blue Diamond's hair in "I Am My Monster", exemplifying their close relationship.

    Blue Pearl “ My Diamond allows me to draw during court proceedings.

    ” —Blue Pearl, "Together Alone" The Answer 121 Blue Diamond has her own Pearl, assumed to be her servant. Not much is known about her, in part due to her quiet nature, but in "Steven's Dream", she exhibits great loyalty and respect towards her Diamond and follows her every command, only speaking herself when addressed. She also introduces Blue Diamond in "The Trial". According to Blue Pearl, Blue Diamond lets her draw during court proceedings, something that she enjoys doing, which may indicate that Blue Diamond cares for her.

    Following the start of Era 3, Blue Pearl no longer serves Blue Diamond due to Steven establishing new rules for the Gem Empire.

    Sapphire “ Thank you, Sapphire. That's all I needed to know.

    ” —Blue Diamond, "The Answer" The Answer 048 Sapphire telling Blue Diamond of the future events in "The Answer" flashback.

    Sapphire was once an aristocratic member of Blue Diamond's court who was valued dearly for her ability to see into the future. She appeared to talk frequently with her, by Sapphire's words. When Blue Diamond sentenced Ruby to be shattered just for fusing with her, however, Sapphire immediately fled the scene with Ruby and terminated her relationship with Blue Diamond. After meeting again over 5,000 years later in "That Will Be All", Blue Diamond initially does not recognize Sapphire as the same one from the Cloud Arena. When Garnet refuses to attend Steven's ball in "Together Alone" Blue Diamond remarks that Sapphire has some sense.

    Ruby “ I can't believe all that stuff about Blue Diamond being merciful! She's a shatterer! She yelled at Sapphire! She hates fusion a-and love!

    ” —Ruby, "Gem Heist" To Blue Diamond, Ruby is nothing more than one of the common and insignificant soldiers under her command. When Ruby accidentally fuses with Sapphire, Blue Diamond immediately decides to shatter her gemstone as a punishment, even though the unexpected fusion saved Sapphire from the rebel attack. Like Sapphire, after meeting her again over 5,000 years later in "That Will Be All", Blue Diamond does not recognize Ruby as the one who fused with a member of her court.

    Garnet “ Garnet? Does that call herself a Garnet?

    ” —"Together Alone" Reunited (570) Garnet grabbing Blue Diamond's cloak as a distraction from Lapis Lazuli.

    Blue Diamond dislikes Garnet due to being a fusion of two different types of gems. After seeing her form for the first time she was angry and disgusted at the fusion, sentencing one of her components to execution. After recognizing her again in "Reunited" she is shown to still hold a grudge against Garnet for disrupting her court and fights her along with the other Crystal Gems. However, after finding out that Rose was Pink Diamond, Blue Diamond has stopped being openly hostile to Garnet, though she continues to show disdain for her.

    In "Together Alone", Blue was surprised to hear Steven refer to Garnet by her name and arrogantly made fun of the idea, sarcastically asking if Steven expected Garnet to "enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes?".

    In "Change Your Mind", however, Blue is willing to help Garnet and the other Crystal Gems return to Earth upon being convinced that Pink Diamond is happier there. Their enmity has ended by the time of "I Am My Monster", in which they work together to save Steven. They also share a common view that Steven is their family.

    Greg Universe “ I'm surprised that a human being is capable of understanding how I feel.

    ” —Blue Diamond, "Steven's Dream" Steven's Dream 207 Greg comforting Blue about her loss.

    Upon encountering Blue Diamond mourning by Pink Diamond's Palanquin, Greg approached her, and the two started talking. In their conversation, they were able to form a connection through their shared understanding of the loss of a loved one, with Blue Diamond and Greg missing Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz respectively (which, in an ironic twist of events, turned out to be the same person). However, Blue Diamond later resolved to kidnap Greg as a last resort to honor Pink Diamond's memory and took him away in her spaceship. Blue Diamond found it surprising that a human could not only understand her pain but also relate to it.

    In "I Am My Monster", Greg refused to heed Amethyst's order to get out, because "every time Gem stuff happens I ran the other way", and he said it was right to feel angry because he didn't protect Steven; Blue Diamond told him he didn't protect him from them.

    Connie Maheswaran “ Blue; You can bring your Pearl of course, and your pet. Steven: Uh, pet? Connie: I think she means me.

    ” —"Together Alone" Change Your Mind 141 Blue decides to help Steven and Connie return to Earth.

    Blue Diamond regards Connie, as a human, to be of little importance. She recognizes the sword Connie carries in "Reunited" and breaks it in anger. Later in "Together Alone", she assumes that Connie is Pink Diamond's "pet". However, in "Change Your Mind", their relationship seems to have improved, as Blue attempts to help Connie and Steven return to Earth, and Connie encourages Blue and Yellow to talk to White.

    Holly Blue Agate “ This facility originally belonged to Pink Diamond and houses and staffs the otherwise useless Quartzes she produced on what was her colony. But Blue Diamond and her trusted Agate - that's me - have been maintaining this place since the dawn of Era 2.

    ” —Holly Blue Agate, "Gem Heist" While the full extent of their relationship is unknown, it can be assumed that she trusts Holly Blue, as she gave her supervision over the Zoo. Since Blue treats anything related to Pink Diamond with the utmost care, the fact that she trusted Holly Blue with the Zoo shows the amount of trust Blue Diamond has in her.

    Lapis Lazuli “ A Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?!

    ” —Blue Diamond, "Reunited" When Lapis arrived to help the Crystal Gems fight the Diamonds in "Reunited", Blue Diamond recognized her and acted with surprise overseeing Lapis Lazuli betraying Homeworld, before projecting her aura at her. She is then shocked by how her pathokinesis barely fazes Lapis, who chains her with her hydrokinesis. In "Change Your Mind" Blue Diamond doesn't seem hostile towards Lapis as they and the rest of the gems are trying to convince White Diamond to change her ways.

    Pink Pearl “ It's White's Pearl.

    ” —"Legs From Here to Homeworld" Prior to Pink Pearl's reassignment as White Pearl, Blue Diamond warned Pink Diamond that if she keeps up her misbehavior, White Diamond will take Pink Pearl away from her. Blue Diamond appears to be intimidated by White Pearl, alerting Yellow to her presence. When White Pearl, controlled by White Diamond, orders Blue, Yellow, Steven and Connie to go to their rooms, Blue asks her what rooms they should go to, implying she sees White Pearl as not her own being, but an extension of White Diamond.

    Stevonnie “ Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you!

    ” —"Together Alone" Blue Diamond, along with Yellow Diamond, showed immense shock at Stevonnie, telling them to unfuse immediately. She was then seen crying in disappointment from them after Yellow poofed the Jades' fusion, Garnet and Opal.

14. #14Yellow Diamondconstantselective

    Keys: Yellow Diamond. · Secondary: Secondary character.

    Yellow Diamond, or Yellow for short, is a Homeworld Gem and a member of the Great Diamond Authority that formerly ruled over the Gem race. In particular, she commanded her now-disbanded military and oversaw Gem production on her colonies. She was first shown in the extended theme song before making her official debut in "Message Received". As a result of Era 3, Yellow now works to repair Gems she had previously shattered in her Cluster experiments and wishes to use her powers to help other Gems alter their physical form if they choose to do so.

She has light yellow skin and she has black markings around her eyes, dark yellow eyeshadow, bright yellow eyes with diamond-shaped pupils and black eyebrows, and short, helmet-like bob yellow hair with two spiked tips.[2][3] Her gemstone is located in the center of her chest.

    Yellow Diamond wears a dark yellow and olive bodysuit, a yellow coat with enormous shoulder pads and a cutout for her gemstone, yellow gloves, and olive-yellow, high-heeled boots. It can be assumed that Yellow wears a long overcoat that hangs past her knees when she is on Homeworld ("Message Received", "The Trial"), but she wears a short yellow tailcoat-like attire when she is traveling ("That Will Be All", "Jungle Moon", "Can't Go Back", "Reunited, "Diamond Days").

    Personality Before Era 3 Message Recieved YD angry Angered Yellow Diamond.

    As shown in her debut, Homeworld reputes Yellow Diamond as a perfectly logical and rational leader, though in reality, she is vindictive and quick to anger. When her followers contacted her but failed, she is rather annoyed but will offer them multiple chances to redeem themselves, as shown with Peridot and one of her Nephrites. Yellow is shown to have a blunt and "down-to-business" attitude, taking over the call Peridot was having with her Pearl to get the message that the former had quickly. She tells Holly Blue Agate to "get to the point" when she begins to ramble on, something which she did again with the prosecuting Zircon's praises. She also kept pushing to shatter Steven/Rose and get the trial over with.

    Yellow Diamond has a dangerous and lethal temper, treating an act of disrespect against herself or her fellow Diamonds with aggression and violence. This was shown when she detonated the Diamond Communicator with the hopes of destroying Peridot and when she attacked both Zircons. Yellow is shown to get fed up when anyone disagrees with her beliefs, including about the value of other lifeforms and the caste system's duties. She yelled at Peridot for questioning her views of the Cluster, became frustrated when the defending Zircon shed light on the idea that Rose Quartz wasn't responsible for Pink Diamond's shattering, and even went as far as to attack Blue Diamond for disobeying White Diamond's will when the former was trying to help Steven and Connie escape with the Crystal Gems.

    Despite being very efficient, Yellow Diamond puts forth her agenda under the guise that it's what's best for the Gem race. This is evident when she chose to reject Peridot's proposal to utilize the Earth again without ideas to not destroy the planet, despite the fact that Homeworld is low on resources as stated in "Too Short to Ride". This is also shown in "Change Your Mind" when she insists that everyone has to make sacrifices for the sake of a "perfect empire." After Steven helped her realize that her actions have done more harm than good though, Yellow changes her mindset in terms of what is really best for the empire and her beloved ones.

    When dealing with grief, Yellow tries to suppress her negative feelings and instead wishes to move forward. She expresses this to Blue by explaining that she should "start looking forward and stop looking back". Yellow finds it ridiculous that Blue is doing so much to preserve Pink Diamond's legacy instead of trying to move forward, opting instead to destroy Earth as it remains a tragedy for the Diamonds until the Cluster's failure. Yellow's thoughts reveal that she blames herself for Pink's fate after giving in to the latter's desire to have her own colony despite Yellow believing Pink wasn't ready for such responsibility, meaning her wish to forget about the past is her wanting to bury the guilt to lessen the pain.

    When Steven is revealed to be the bearer of Pink Diamond's Gem, Yellow showcases genuine concern for his well-being and safety, deciding not to attack any of the Crystal Gems or even ask Garnet to unfuse. She still adheres to Homeworld's rules and customs though, poofing Opal, Garnet, and a Jade fusion once Stevonnie forms at the Era 3 Ball and the Crystal Gems fuse to stick up for them, not attacking the latter for "Pink's" safety but instead imprisons them in a room.

    In "Change Your Mind", it is shown that she and Blue are in fact miserable because of White's controlling and perfectionist nature. When she finally broke down crying it was shown that she was so not used to showing her feelings that she thought that Blue was using her power on her. It is also shown that Yellow can be selfless and caring, telling Steven to take her ship and leave Homeworld while she and Blue distract White.

    After Era 3 Following the dissolution of the Great Diamond Authority's authoritarian rule of the Gem empire, the more positive attributes of Yellow's personality are put on display.

    In Steven Universe: The Movie, though Yellow still appears bold and retains a commanding demeanor, she has also allowed herself to be more open-minded in terms of humor. Previously, Yellow was shown to briefly laugh but usually remained a serious attitude. However, Yellow now isn't afraid to laugh herself to tears in front of others, and while she still wishes to remain professional, she is about to "let loose" more often. When the Diamonds adopt Spinel, Yellow is shown to be as caring as ever, just as she was with Blue Diamond in the original series.

    In "Homeworld Bound", Yellow Diamond's personality has evidently changed for the better. She expresses deep remorse over her Gem experiments, joyfully and willingly fixing the Gems she once shattered, and even states her intentions to heal the Gems from the Cluster. Additionally, she obliges to Spinel's requests, and becomes helpful towards Steven, chastising him for his newfound temper issues, and ordering him to go to Blue for assistance when she is unable to cure him.

    In "I Am My Monster", Yellow, the other Diamonds, and Spinel work to save Steven from himself alongside the Crystal Gems. At one instance, Yellow and Blue both break down, believing they are the cause of Steven's suffering due to the way they had previously behaved.

    History Ancient History Yellow Diamond has existed for thousands of years. Over time, she amassed a great amount of respect, colonies, and Gems. It is revealed in "Your Mother and Mine" that some of Yellow Diamond's many colonies are asteroid fields that are used as mines.

    Although she sometimes clashed with Pink Diamond, Yellow Diamond had a very close relationship with her. Along with the other Diamonds, she would attend many of Pink's parties in celebration of the Diamond Authority's achievements. All of the Diamonds would come to her pool area, where Pink would stand underwater and sing, while she, White and Blue attempted to guess the song.

    During her colonization of the Jungle Moon's planet, Yellow had Pink observe her. To the latter's amazement, she commanded a fleet of Nephrites to begin colonizing the planet, disregarding their concerns of organic life on the surface. Pink's fascination became an annoyance to Yellow since she began to play around with her control panel, so the latter eventually scolded the former for her immaturity.

    Over 6,000 Years Ago In "Reunited", Yellow reveals that she eventually gave into Pink's begging and allowed her to run a colony. When Pink later no longer wanted to colonize Earth, Yellow scolded and told her to finish what she had started.

    Over 5,000 Years Ago When Pink eventually staged her own shattering and Earth was deemed to no longer be a viable colony, Yellow headed The Cluster project, using the shattered remains of Crystal Gems to serve as prototypes. Although Yellow was interested in having the weapon as a part of her arsenal, the main purpose of the Cluster was to destroy the Earth so that she could move past Pink's demise and the guilt she felt over it.

    Yellow also aided in unleashing the Corrupting Light when combining her powers with White and Blue Diamond at the end of the Rebellion with the intent of obliterating every Gem left on Earth's surface. Over the course of the following thousands of years, Yellow blames herself for Pink's demise, knowing that she was not ready for a colony of her own but giving in nonetheless.

    Before "Warp Tour" Yellow Diamond wishes to know how the Cluster and its prototypes are developing. She assigns Peridot to go to the Prime Kindergarten Control Room on Earth to retrieve this information.

    After "Marble Madness" Once Peridot reports that Gems are still present on Earth, Yellow Diamond assigns Jasper to escort her there in a Gem Warship.

    "The Return" After Steven summons Rose's shield, Jasper tells Peridot that Yellow Diamond has to see what Rose has become.

    "Cry for Help" Peridot uses the Earth's Communication Hub to send out a distress signal to Yellow Diamond. She tells Yellow Diamond that her mission has been compromised and that she lost Jasper and Lapis Lazuli, and begs her to send help.

    "Catch and Release" After coming to the realization that there may be no way to get off of the Earth, Peridot freaks out and mentions how she still never received a response from Yellow Diamond.

    "It Could've Been Great" Peridot becomes ecstatic at the Moon Base when she sees Yellow Diamond's mural. She asks Steven if he agrees with her that Yellow Diamond is magnificent.

    "Message Received" Peridot describes Yellow Diamond as "the most perfect, the most reasonable, rational, efficient decider ever to exist in the universe." Later on, Peridot uses the Diamond Communicator to call her. Yellow Diamond takes over the call after her Pearl talks to Peridot. She asks Peridot how her mission to Earth was, inquires about Jasper's whereabouts, and what happened to the ship. Yellow Diamond thanks Peridot for her report, and tells her that she would be sending a ship to her location to pick her up, but Peridot continues the call, telling Yellow Diamond that they should terminate the Cluster because the Earth has so many valuable resources. Yellow Diamond disagrees because she wants the Cluster to emerge and for the Earth to die. This causes the two to get into an argument and eventually leads to Peridot insulting Yellow Diamond. After the call is over, Yellow Diamond remotely detonates the Diamond Communicator in anger.

    "Log Date 7 15 2" Peridot is shown to be fearful after realizing she insulted Yellow Diamond.

    "Hit the Diamond" Yellow Diamond sends a group of Rubies to the Earth to locate and retrieve Jasper. Peridot reveals that Yellow Diamond has full control of Homeworld's army.

    "That Will Be All" Yellow Diamond comes to the Zoo, only to find Blue Diamond crying in the bubble room. She tells her that she has come to bring her "back to reality," which she believes is moving on from Pink Diamond instead of constantly grieving. She sings to Blue Diamond, expressing that although the Diamonds still love and think about Pink Diamond, they need to move on to the best interest of their empire. When Yellow Diamond discovers that all Blue Diamond wants is to preserve more humans for the Zoo, she asks Sapphire if the Cluster emerged yet. When she says it has not yet, Yellow Diamond reassures Blue Diamond that "there's still time", before dismissing them.

    "I Am My Mom" Using the report they received from Peridot in "Marble Madness", Blue and Yellow Diamond send Aquamarine and Topaz to Earth to retrieve the different human varieties mentioned by Steven during his very first interaction with Peridot.

    "The Trial" Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond arrive in the courtroom on Homeworld to run a trial against Steven (whom they believe is Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond's murderer). Upon seeing Steven for the first time, Yellow Diamond tells Blue Diamond that they should shatter him just for taking on a "hideous form". Upon Blue Diamond's wishes, Yellow reluctantly agrees to the trial and summons her and Blue's thrones. When the yellow prosecuting Zircon addresses Yellow Diamond by many names, Yellow becomes irritated and tells her that "my Diamond" will suffice. After the prosecuting Zircon makes her case with the help of Eyeball, Yellow Diamond is convinced that Rose is guilty and believes it is time to execute Steven, but the trial continues upon Blue Diamond's wishes so the defense can speak. The blue defending Zircon wishes to remind the court that Steven turned himself in, which Yellow Diamond replies "the court remembers, and the court does not care". When Steven tells the Diamonds that he shattered Pink Diamond, Yellow becomes relieved, thinking that the trial is over because he confessed. Blue Diamond asks Steven how he shattered Pink Diamond, and he makes up a story since he doesn't know the exact details. This causes Blue Diamond to become distressed at the inconsistencies of Steven's story. Yellow then yells at Steven for upsetting her and calls a short recess before going to comfort Blue Diamond.

    As the defending Zircon makes her argument, asking the Diamonds how a Rose Quartz got past Pink Diamond's entire entourage, Yellow Diamond becomes outraged; she slams her fists down and yells that her entourage was there and they saw the whole thing. Yellow Diamond yells to the Zircon that Rose must have slipped past Pink Diamond's Agates and Sapphires. Once the defending Zircon blames the Diamonds for the death of Pink, Yellow stands up and poofs her with her finger, and then uses an electricity attack to poof the prosecuting Zircon. Right afterward, Yellow tells Blue that they don't need to listen to that "nonsense" and that they can shatter Steven and be done with it. Blue yells at Yellow, asking if she can restrain herself, to which Yellow responds that the trial is pointless. After Steven and Lars escape in Blue Diamond's Palanquin, Yellow Diamond cuts her own hole in the side of the building. As the palanquin falls, Yellow Diamond stands at the edge of the hole and warns Steven "You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth... but you're on our world now."

    "Raising the Barn" Steven mentions Yellow Diamond to Peridot and Lapis over video chat. He tells them about his encounter with the Diamonds on Homeworld, and how he and Lars escaped in Blue Diamond's Palanquin. This shocks Lapis, causing her to abruptly end the call.

    "Jungle Moon" Act like it Yellow Diamond's representation yelling at Pink Diamond's representation.

    After falling asleep in an abandoned base on the Jungle Moon, Stevonnie dreams of a hypothetical exchange where Dr. Maheswaran, dressed as Yellow Diamond, interacts with Pink Diamond, represented by Stevonnie. While Yellow takes care of communicating with a crew of Nephrites to initiate contact with the Jungle Moon's planet for invasion and colonization, getting increasingly angered by the crew's incompetence, Pink incessantly tries to get Yellow's attention, much to Yellow's annoyance. After the call ends, Yellow goes back to her controls where Pink bothers her some more, curious about her commands. While Yellow is patient enough to explain it to her, Pink's insistence starts to get on her nerves. Pink then eventually throws a tantrum about not being treated equally to the other Diamonds and demands to have colonies of her own too. Yellow refutes by stating that if she wants such things she must behave like the Diamond leader she is, getting aggressive towards her. Pink walks away and Yellow carries on with the rest of the plans for colonizing the jungle moon's planet. After Stevonnie wakes up and goes to the top floor of the moon base, they find evidence revealing the dream sequence was a flashback to what happened many years ago. Yellow later also appears in another mural in said base, and in a slide in the base's systems, unaware of her Pearl taking a 'selfie' of the two.

    "Your Mother and Mine" Yellow Diamond appears in Garnet's story of Rose Quartz. At the end of the Rebellion, she helps Blue and White Diamond accidently corrupt most of the remaining Gems on Earth.

    "Can't Go Back" Yellow Diamond appears in Steven's dream of the Diamonds. She says nothing during the conversation between Blue Diamond and Pink Diamond and appears to ignore them entirely.

    "A Single Pale Rose" Yellow Diamond briefly appears at the beginning of the episode in a flashback to Steven's trial. She is also mentioned by Rose Quartz when she states that Yellow never cared about her or her pleas to stop the Earth's colonization.

    "Now We're Only Falling Apart" Yellow Diamond appears in Pearl's flashback about Pink Diamond. Pink pleads with her to spare the Earth, but she refuses to listen, forcing Pink to begin the Rebellion as Rose Quartz.

    "Reunited" Yellow arrives with Blue on Earth to reactivate the Cluster. Using her arm ship, Yellow pops the Cluster's bubble, and when it forms in the shape of an arm, it attacks Yellow's ship. Yellow's ship and the Cluster then engage in arm wrestling until the ship eventually breaks down. The Cluster then smashes Yellow's defenseless ship into Blue's, causing Yellow to step out onto the beach. When Peridot taunts her, Yellow poofs her and later knocks Steven out in a fit of rage when he claims to be Pink Diamond. Yellow then later poofs Lapis Lazuli. In his mindscape, Steven discovers that Yellow blames herself for Pink's demise due to allowing her to run a colony. When Steven makes his presence known, Yellow and Blue attack him until Steven reveals that he can control Pink's aura. Steven then wakes up with the Gems along with Yellow and Blue standing over him, the latter two believing he is Pink.

    "Legs From Here to Homeworld" Yellow tries activating her ship, but it is too broken to function. She then walks over to Steven and asks "Pink" why she would let them believe she was shattered, and why she is in a "ridiculous disguise" and "doing a voice". After Steven briefly explains the story of Pink and Rose and tells the Diamonds that he does not have her memories, Yellow believes Pink's memories must be somewhere inside of Steven. Steven takes Yellow and Blue to the Ancient Gem Colony Ship to show them what their Corrupting Light did to Gems. Yellow is confused when she sees Centipeetle, not understanding what she is and then stating that nobody should have survived the attack. Steven convinces the Diamonds to try to heal her; Yellow reverts Centipeetle back to her normal form, Blue heals her damaged mind, and Steven makes her mind and thoughts coherent. Centipeetle, now known as Nephrite, believes that Yellow and Blue came back to Earth and avenged Pink Diamond, destroying Rose Quartz. This causes Yellow and Blue to let go of her out of shame, and Nephrite reverts to the monstrous Centipeetle form.

    Yellow asks "Pink" how many perfectly adequate Gems she had them ruin. She then tells Steven that in order to permanently and properly heal Corrupted Gems, they need White Diamond's help. Yellow and the others board Pink Diamond's abandoned ship from Rose's Landfill and begin traveling towards Homeworld. On the way there, Yellow tells Steven that they'll be lucky if White ever speaks to them again and that returning to Homeworld via Pink's ship will irrefutably make the last 6,000 years the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened, and that they are the ones to blame. She warns Steven to let her do the talking when they meet with White. When they arrive on Homeworld, Yellow tells everyone to wait on the ship while Blue and herself speak with White. Everyone then hears the sound of a crowd cheering and proceed to exit the ship. When White Pearl arrives requesting Steven's presence, Yellow calls Blue over but White Pearl emphasizes that only Pink Diamond is necessary.

    "Familiar" Yellow sends Yellow Pearl to bring "Pink Diamond" to the Extraction Chamber. Upon greeting Steven, she tells him that her sauna is new, and asks how his meeting with White went. She comments that Steven only being able to speak two and a half words to White is a new record, and wishes him luck with attempting to talk to her about the Corrupted Gems. She tells Steven that "White never leaves her head these days" or lets anyone in, except Pink, which she believes to be unfair given how many colonies she owns and Pink only having one failed colony. Steven tells her that maybe she should fail in order to receive White's sympathy, which Yellow laughs off and reminisces about how Pink always knew how to make her laugh. Yellow then receives a notification that she must check up on the Citrine production reports, and excuses herself.

    Pearl later tells Steven "Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies, and when she's not doing that, she's off with her army conquering the next one".

    "Together Alone" Steven has a nightmare where he is juggling with White Pearl before Yellow enters the room by extending her neck to check if they are fooling around. Once they pretend they are not, Yellow happily leaves.

    In the Diamond Throne Room, Yellow finds the idea of Steven throwing a ball to be brilliant, as the return of Pink Diamond would mark the beginning of Era 3. She instructs her Pearl to go over Homeworld's customs with Steven since he has no memories from Pink Diamond's time on Homeworld.

    As the ball begins, Yellow Pearl announces Yellow's entrance to the crowd, and she compliments Steven on having a big turnout. Later, however, when Steven and Connie accidentally fuse on the dance floor, Yellow scolds them and uses her electrokinesis to poof Garnet, Opal, and a Jade fusion. Yellow then throws Stevonnie into an unknown room to think about what they did wrong, claiming that Pink has gone too far, even for her own standards.

    "Change Your Mind" Blue Diamond takes Steven and Connie to Yellow Diamond's Bubble Chamber to retrieve the Crystal Gems, to which Yellow Diamond questions what they are doing. Steven clearly states his intent to return the Crystal Gems to Earth, as they are happier there than they are on Homeworld. Yellow tells Blue to take "Pink" back to the prison tower, but Blue tells that he prefer to be called "Steven". Yellow was angry as what was Blue talking about that she can't keep bending the rules, "she set an example and we have to set the example. If we bend the rules for her, then we have to bend for everyone!" as Connie tell her that she should. Yellow furiously as she yells at Blue again to take Steven and Connie back to the prison tower, but Blue refuses and the two begin to fight. While Blue and Yellow are distracted with their fight, Steven and Connie retrieve the bubble the Crystal Gems are contained in. Steven creates a bubble around him, Connie, and the Gems as Blue and Yellow's fight causes them to break through a wall.

    Yellow angrily yells at Blue, asking why she would hurt her closest companion and a fellow Diamond. In anger, Yellow attacks Blue with her destabilizing electrokinesis repeatedly until Steven throws his shield at her hand, causing her to stop. Steven yells that Yellow doesn't have to fight, but Yellow refuses, rebutting that they all have to make sacrifices to appease White Diamond and maintain the "perfection" of the Gem Empire. Steven asks Yellow Diamond if this is what she would consider "perfect". Yellow analyzes the situation and realizes that doing this would cause everything that makes her happy to disappear, causing her to relent her attack and finally listen to Steven.

    Steven secures the Crystal Gems to leave, wondering why they haven't reformed yet. Yellow tells him that they will be out for a while, due to taking a direct hit from her destabilizing electrokinesis. Blue interrupts and tells them they have to leave before White finds out their plan. Yellow and Blue begin taking Steven, Connie, and the Gems to the Pink's ship, but White Pearl stops them, menacingly telling Steven that he's "not going anywhere". White Diamond's ship then begins flying and connects with Pink's.

    However, Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond's ships, repaired and piloted by Bismuth and Lapis and Peridot respectively, attack White and knocks the ships over. Blue tells them to take one of their ships to escape to Earth, with Yellow insisting that they hold off White while Pink escapes. Steven refuses, saying that Pink ran away from them, then started a war with them, and states that it's time to finally just talk to them. Yellow and Blue attach their ships to the Diamond Mech, and Steven forces it to kneel and listen. Finally, with White Diamond's attention, Steven tells her that Yellow and Blue are unhappy with the standards she expects, of which Yellow elaborates that even though she does everything perfectly, it doesn't seem to ever be enough for White, and that causes a lot of stress for both Yellow and all the other Gems. Blue reminds White that they all used to be close and that Pink's seemingly meaningless actions were to try and keep them together and happy. Blue adds that though her purpose isn't to be happy, she finds it more difficult to enforce White's rules when they make her feel so miserable. Steven asks White once more to allow them inside her head to try and make a new beginning. White Diamond responds by firing beams from her eyes that completely remove the color of both Yellow and Blue Diamond, who then warp into the Diamond Mech.

    Later, when the Gem break into White's ship, Blue and Yellow are still under her control. After Steven breaks through to White, she releases her control of them. They all then go to Earth to cure all of the Corrupted Gems, crashing Sadie Miller's concert. Here, they witness the arrival of Lars and the Off-Colors and after that brief interaction, they all come together at Rose's Fountain, healing all of the Corrupted Gems. Afterward, Steven waves goodbye to them, to which Yellow's arm on the Diamond Mech signals a peace sign, and they all go back to Homeworld, leaving Pink's Ship behind.

    Steven Universe: The Movie She, along with the other Diamonds, asks Steven to stay on Homeworld (Let Us Adore You), claiming she has disbanded her armies and liberated her colonies. Later, she returns in an to attempt to stay on Earth with Steven, but instead "adopts" Spinel.

    "Homeworld Bound" Yellow is seen in her room reconstructing Chert and Flint. When Steven asks what she was doing in a worried tone, she jumps, startled by his presence. She then explains she was reversing her experiments, adding it was right to use her powers for reconstructive work on the gems she hurt. She also says she had to fix the gems in the Cluster and suggests Steven should send her any uncorrupted Quartz who wants their horns reduced, adding she could permanently alter any physical form, suggesting Spinel should serve as her guinea pig to show Steven what she means. Yellow then makes her arms look thick and muscular and her legs really short. When Steven tells her of his condition, Yellow proceeds to shrink him and then make him large, causing Steven to complain he doesn't want to change size or appearance. Yellow is shocked at this, saying if anything was out of order it 's his temper, and advises him to see Blue since that is her department. She is later seen with Blue when they see Steven charging through the halls with Spinel, asking if White was able to help since Blue didn't. Yellow and the other Diamonds, along with Spinel, watch Steven warp away.

    "I Am My Monster" Yellow, along with Blue, White, and Spinel, travel to Earth to check on Steven, only to find a giant monster. They are shocked when Garnet says it's actually Steven. Yellow then tries to alter Steven's physical form with little success, When Blue tries to make him feel better with her happiness clouds (only to have Steven roar at them, causing the clouds to directly hit her and Spinel who is standing on her shoulder), Yellow bursts into laughter. Later, she says that she along with Blue and White were the source of his suffering, only to be corrected by Connie. She joins everyone else to help Steven. At the end of the episode, she is seen with everyone else, glad to see Steven back to normal.

    Abilities As a diamond, Yellow Diamond is one of the most powerful gems in the universe. She possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability, but since she is a Diamond, her abilities are expected to be much greater than other Gems. With Blue Diamond's assistance, she was able to fight Garnet, Bismuth, Pearl, Amethyst, and Lion to a standstill, as well as to poof Peridot and Lapis Lazuli in seconds. In "Together Alone" she single-handedly dispatched Garnet, Opal, and a Jade fusion instantly.

    Skillset Spaceship Piloting: Yellow Diamond has a spaceship only she is capable of controlling, until it was repaired by Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis Lazuli. She is able to use the ship in combat. Natural Abilities Immense Strength: Reunited (783) Yellow Diamond lifting a finger of the ship

    Due to how large she is, Yellow Diamond is extremely strong. She is notable for her incredible strength, which she uses in combat. With the press of her finger, she poofed a Zircon Gem. She could lift a finger of Blue Diamond's ship with one hand, freeing her, and punch her way out of her warship. Her strength is enough to push Steven into the ground and knock him out despite him taking shelter behind a large shield, which attacks as destructive as a warship beam had failed to so much as move in the past. Immense Durability: Yellow Diamond has an astounding endurance matched with Blue Diamond's, emerging from her ship completely unharmed after the Cluster slammed it into Blue Diamond's and the ground. Enhanced Speed: Partly due to her size, Yellow is remarkably fast, charging at Steven and attacking him before any of the Crystal Gems could intervene. Bubbling: Yellow Diamond is able to bubble objects, she was seen most often with bubbles with shattered Gems inside. Her bubbles are yellow. Unique Abilities Aura Projection: The Diamonds can project an aura around them that they can control, either radiating it from their entire bodies or emitting it from specific parts of their bodies (i.e., their hands). Yellow's aura is represented as yellow clouds of electricity. She can use this as an offensive ability in both the physical and mental plane (as seen when she was able to focus her aura on Steven), and was even capable of cutting a diamond-shaped hole in "The Trial". Light Destabilization: Case closed Yellow Diamond's Electric Aura.

    Yellow Diamond can generate powerful electric currents around her entire body and then project it from her fingertips, which are powerful enough to destabilize a Gem's form. In "The Trial", her power was able to cut through a thick wall. She can also focus energy to rapid-fire her discharge as seen in "Together Alone". This ability is apparently used in Gem technology, such as the Gem Warships and in the Gem Destabilizers. In "Change Your Mind", it is confirmed that her powers can cause a Gem's reformation to take longer than normal, as it was previously evidenced in "Legs From Here to Homeworld" with Lapis and Peridot taking over a day to reform after they were previously poofed by Yellow Diamond in "Reunited". Her power appears to have its limits, as Blue Diamond was rather resistant to poofing when Yellow was attacking her, probably due to the former's power. Corruption Induction: Yellow Diamond's Light Destabilization Yellow Diamond's Light Destabilization

    Though the attack was meant to obliterate the Crystal Gems on Earth after Pink's supposed shattering; Yellow, Blue, and White Diamond's collective powers instead corrupted the remaining Gems on Earth. Corruption Reversal: Along with Pink/Steven, White, and Blue Diamond, Yellow Diamond has the ability to reverse the effects of the Corrupting Light on Gems. However, it is implied that this is only temporary without the power of all four Diamonds. The four reversed the corruption on the water of Rose's Fountain in "Change Your Mind". Psychic Resistance: Yellow Diamond's aura shields her from telepathic abilities through the sheer intensity of her thoughts, even without her own awareness. This includes Pink Diamond's projection as seen when she briefly repelled Steven, though this resistance doesn't extend to Blue Diamond's pathogenesis and White Diamond's Mind Control on their total extent. Psychic Blast: She can fire her aura as a beam which induces profound distress in the target. Despite combining her assault with Blue Diamond's, it was repelled by Steven's own aura. Psychic Detection: She is also able to locate others on the mental plane when they aren't in physical contact with her, such as Steven. Shapeshifting Manipulation: Homeworld Bound 061 Yellow's shapeshifting manipulation.

    As shown in "Homeworld Bound", Yellow Diamond, through the energy of her aura, can manipulate the physical form of the gems, being able to diminish them, to increase them, to distort or to repair their members, among other things. Yellow used this to repair gems that were stuck in forced fusion, repairing their weakened physical form. She also used that to distort and change Spinel and Steven's limbs and sizes and make Garnet grow. It's stated by herself that when she uses this power, the effects of it are permanent, meaning there are no negative effects if a gem were to have their physical form altered for a long period of time. Clandestine Abilities White Capsule Generation: While controlled by White Diamond, Yellow Diamond can create a kind of white capsule around itself or other gems, with several utilities. Levitational Transport: The capsule can float around, as seen in "Change Your Mind". Teleportation: The capsule can teleport Yellow Diamond, as seen in "Change Your Mind" Levitation: While controlled by White Diamond, Yellow Diamond has the ability to, indirectly, suspend her body. Optical White Burst: While controlled by White Diamond, Yellow Diamond is capable of emitting a sudden blast of white energy (equivalent to White Diamond's aura) from both her eyes. Those hit by this energy are then linked to White Diamond's hive mind and under her total mind control. Relationships Blue Diamond “ When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against ME?!

    ” —"Change Your Mind" That Will Be All 148 Blue comforting Yellow in one of her rare emotional breakdowns.

    Yellow Diamond cares deeply for Blue Diamond, attempting to comfort her with a song and sympathize with her. However, she doesn't understand Blue's desire to preserve Pink Diamond's legacy, as they both have different methods of mourning over their fellow Diamond. Yellow is firm on her as she believes it is best for Blue to focus on the future and her people rather than sit and wallow in regret.

    During the trial against Rose Quartz (Steven), Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond have conflicting views on the trial process; Yellow wants to get it over with and execute Steven, but Blue wants to hear Rose out and learn the truth. Yellow is seen comforting Blue Diamond when Steven unintentionally upsets her. When Yellow poofs the Zircons, Blue Diamond yells at Yellow, demanding she restrains herself.

    In "Reunited", when Steven was talking to Blue in the mindscape and Blue said that she thought she heard something, Yellow said that she was being more hysterical than usual, implying that she thought Blue was usually hysterical, at least since the supposed shattering of Pink Diamond. Once Steven is revealed to possess Pink's Gem, Yellow and Blue seem to have a more cooperative relationship, as seen in "Together Alone" where they both agree that Steven throwing a ball would be the perfect event to mark the beginning of Era 3.

    When Blue decides to help Steven and Connie return to Earth, Yellow tells her to send them back to the prison tower. Blue refuses, and the two engage in a physical fight that results in Yellow attempting to poof Blue. Steven stops her and makes her realize just how much her actions have hurt Blue and Pink, the two people she cares about most. Yellow breaks into tears as Blue comforts her. The two later work together to help Steven escape Homeworld, and are later seen having fun together along with White at Rose's fountain.

    Pink Diamond “ How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.

    ” —"Reunited" That Will Be All 144 A rare moment where Yellow loses her composure over Pink Diamond.

    Yellow Diamond cared deeply for Pink Diamond, as her supposed demise caused Yellow Diamond to seek the destruction of Earth and anything reminding her of Pink. She also believes that all of Pink Diamond's Rose Quartzes should be shattered due to one of them being supposedly responsible for shattering her. The defending Zircon's theory that a Diamond may have been behind Pink Diamond's shattering threw her into a fury that caused her to poof both Zircons.

    However, it is revealed in "Jungle Moon", through Stevonnie's dream flashback, that Pink and Yellow didn't always get along. Due to Pink's passionate, somewhat childish nature, she regularly got in between Yellow and her business, making the latter very annoyed, and forceful at times. She also had no qualms pointing out Pink's faults as a Diamond leader.

    In "Can't Go Back" and "Now We're Only Falling Apart", it is revealed that Pink Diamond tried to convince the other Diamonds to let Earth be, through complaining that it was too hard to manage. When Yellow and Blue Diamond dismiss this, Pink Diamond is forced to take drastic measures and fake her shattering.

    In "Reunited", when Steven listens to her thoughts, Yellow Diamond appears to blame herself for Pink Diamond's "shattering": Despite her misgivings, she relented and gave her a colony which ultimately led to her fate. After learning Pink's true fate, Yellow is relieved to find out that Pink was never shattered, but is angry at her for having deceived her and Blue and blames Steven (who she believes is Pink) for the Corrupted Gems.

    In "Familiar", she states that Pink always managed to make her laugh. Despite this, she appears to envy Pink for gaining more of White's attention than her.

    In "Change Your Mind", it is revealed that Yellow believes Pink abandoned her and Blue by faking her shattering and living on Earth. She later cries upon realizing that her enforcement of White's "perfect" standards is what drove Pink (who made her happy) away.

    Steven Universe “ Steven, quickly! Use one of our ships to get home.

    ” —"Change Your Mind" Reunited (997) Yellow, along with Blue, looking at Steven with concern.

    Upon meeting Steven in "The Trial", Yellow Diamond finds his appearance hideous. Extremely biased in the prosecution's favor, she readily accepts the evidence presented against him that he is, in fact, the Rose Quartz who shattered Pink Diamond and repeatedly attempts to persuade Blue Diamond to end the trial so he can be executed. After he flees, she sends Shattering Robonoids after him.

    She encounters Steven again when she invades Earth alongside Blue Diamond during the events of "Reunited". Steven tries to reason with her, but she is instantly overcome with rage at the mere sight of him. She rushes at him and stomps down on him hard. His timely defense keeps him alive, and the attack knocks him out and causes him to enter into a psychic plane. Here he manages to make contact with Yellow and Blue, which is initially met with a hostile response. After he projects an aura only Pink Diamond could have used, the two stop their attacks. When Steven wakes up at, Yellow Diamond has a visible look of concern on her face while looking at Steven, now convinced that he is Pink.

    During the episode "Legs From Here to Homeworld", Yellow Diamond demands to know why Pink deceived them for so long and why she doesn't return to her original form. Steven tries to explain how his mother's original form was sacrificed when he inherited her gem at birth. Though she doesn't fully comprehend, she understands when he tells her that he has no memories of having ever been Pink Diamond or Rose Quartz. Yellow believes that those out-of-reach memories still exist, and continue to address him as "Pink," leading to a more cordial relationship between the two. She tries to heal Nephrite when Steven requests her to do so but the attempt fails. She tells him that with White Diamond's help the corrupted gems could be healed completely, but the thought of White's reaction to Pink's past actions makes her concerned for his well-being. Yellow Diamond tells Steven that she would talk for Steven when meeting White Diamond because it's likely White Diamond in a fit of rage could bubble Steven for several thousand years. However, White's Pearl takes Steven to White Diamond alone since only "Pink Diamond" is needed.

    In "Familiar", Yellow Diamond and Steven speak briefly about how to convince White Diamond to come to Earth so they can heal the corrupted Gems. Yellow states that the two and a half words Steven said to White is a new record, implying that White almost never speaks to anyone. Yellow complains to Steven that it is unfair how he gets to see White Diamond because he has one failed colony, while she has hundreds of successful ones. Steven suggests to Yellow that she should try failing which Yellow responds to by laughing hysterically. The fact that Yellow rarely smiles, let alone laughs, shows how comfortable she is around "Pink" (Steven). Steven knows that Blue and Yellow Diamond are dictators but in the song "Familiar" he acknowledges the two love him which is why he hopes to change their authoritarian ways.

    When Blue frees Steven and Connie and attempts to help them return to Earth, Yellow tells her to return them to the prison tower. She also attempts to stop Steven from freeing the bubbled Crystal Gems, but fails and is attacked by Blue. Later, when Yellow attempts to poof Blue, Steven stops her and makes her realize the error of her ways, in addition to recognizing Steven as his own being. Yellow, along with Blue, later attempts to assist Steven in escaping Homeworld, but are stopped by White. After curing Corruption alongside Blue and White, she directs a "peace" sign towards Steven using her ship before leaving for Homeworld.

    During the time elapsed until the events of Steven Universe: The Movie, Yellow, like Blue and White, shows that she has become very attached to Steven, asking him to live with them at Homeworld in commemoration of Pink's legacy and confirms she knows Steven is not Pink Diamond.

    In "Homeworld Bound", she aids Steven when he reveals he has problems pertaining to his physical form, showing her care towards him, and is patient with him lashing out.

    White Diamond “ I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a lot of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle.

    ” —Yellow Diamond to White Diamond in "Change Your Mind" White Diamond is a fellow member of the Great Diamond Authority and Yellow Diamond's direct and only superior. Like Blue Diamond, Yellow Diamond seems to fear her as she states that she will do the talking for Steven when they arrive on Homeworld in order to cool off her temper. However, she is rather dismayed by White's callous demeanor and stressed at trying to match her expectations; to which the latter disregarded the hundreds of colonies she conquered for her approval. After mending her relationship with White, Yellow appears to be much happier and closer with her fellow Diamonds.

    Yellow Pearl “ Pearl, do something. Sing for her. Make her feel better.

    ” —"That Will Be All" Due to Yellow Diamond being one of the members of The Great Diamond Authority, she owns a Pearl. Yellow Pearl has a smug grin on her face when Yellow Diamond is talking to Peridot, indicating that she is proud of serving her. When Peridot insults Yellow Diamond, Yellow Pearl is visibly shocked.

    Yellow Pearl carries out her duties with ostentatious enthusiasm, but also shows visible fear whenever Yellow Diamond focuses her attention directly on her or becomes emotionally agitated, indicating that she is afraid of her Diamond's wrath.

    Following the start of Era 3, Yellow Pearl no longer serves Yellow Diamond due to Steven establishing new rules for the Gem Empire.

    Peridot “ What do you know about the Earth?! Peridot: Apparently more than you! You... clod!

    ” —"Message Received" Message Received 327 Yellow Diamond yelling at Peridot.

    In "The Return", when Jasper mentioned Yellow Diamond, not only did Lapis Lazuli wince, but Peridot showed fear as well. A silhouette of Yellow Diamond can also be seen alongside Jasper and Peridot in the extended theme "We Are the Crystal Gems".

    In "Cry for Help", Peridot sends out a distress signal using the Communication Hub in hopes that Yellow Diamond would send help. However, in "Catch and Release", Peridot claims that she had yet to receive a response from her.

    In "Message Received", Peridot is shown gushing over how 'perfect' she thinks Yellow Diamond is. Peridot states that she is very loyal towards her, as Yellow Diamond is her leader. Later in the episode, Peridot uses a Communicator that she took from the Moon Base to communicate with Yellow Diamond. Throughout their conversation, Yellow Diamond appears to be incredibly annoyed by Peridot, calling her out on what it is that she has failed to do. Peridot is able to wave this off in the hope of trying to convince her to terminate The Cluster. After Yellow Diamond refuses, Peridot insults her by calling her a clod and claiming there are things worth protecting on Earth, resulting in Yellow Diamond angrily detonating the communicator Peridot was using. Because of this, she became a traitor to her own kind, therefore making her a Crystal Gem.

    They eventually meet again when Yellow and Blue come to Earth to collect the Cluster. Peridot runs up to her asking "Remember me?!", expecting her to be enraged by her mere presence. Yellow simply responds "No," before electrocuting her until she poofs.

    In "Change Your Mind", however, Yellow no longer seems to have an issue with Peridot, even after seeing her again.

    Jasper “ And where is the Jasper I assigned you?

    ” —"Message Received" Jasper and Yellow Diamond's relationship is currently unknown. In "The Return", she states "Yellow Diamond needs to see this" after witnessing Steven using his mother's shield. Jasper is a member of Yellow Diamond's court, wearing the Yellow Diamond emblem on her outfit. However, in "Message Received", Yellow Diamond is shown to be more concerned with the ship Peridot and Jasper arrived in, suggesting that she views Jasper simply as "a Jasper".

    There is a chance that Yellow Diamond may find Jasper significant since she sends a squadron of Rubies to retrieve her.

    Upon being cured of Corruption, Jasper attempts to attack Steven under the belief that he is Rose Quartz, but is stopped when Yellow gives her an angry look, before brushing it off with a smile.

    Rose Quartz “ She was shattered by a Rose Quartz! The entire cut of Gem deserves the same fate! Blue Diamond: But they were hers. They should be wiped out of existence, not kept safe in bubbles!

    ” —"That Will Be All" Yellow Diamond was shown to despise all Rose Quartzes for the shattering of Pink Diamond at the hands of one of their kind. Yellow called for the shattering of every other Rose Quartz, believing that they "deserve the same fate" as their Diamond.

    As of the end of "Reunited", she is now aware that Rose is actually Pink Diamond, who was never shattered in the first place.

    In Steven Universe: The Movie, she refers to Steven as a "human son of a Rose", heavily implying she has come to respect Rose Quartz and her legacy.

    Holly Blue Agate “ Get to the point, Agate.

    ” —"That Will Be All" As with Blue Diamond, Holly Blue Agate holds the utmost respect and admiration for Yellow Diamond. Yellow Diamond treats Holly Blue with the same curtness and authority she uses with the many other Gems serving Homeworld.

    Zircon (Defense) “ They were with her, of course, they saw the whole thing!

    ” —Yellow Diamond, "The Trial" Yellow Diamond remains impatient throughout the trial, growing increasingly frustrated at the Defense Zircon's persistence in protecting Steven-believed-to-be-Rose-Quartz. Yellow Diamond expressed contempt for the Defense Zircon when the latter accused those in supreme authority, speculatively the Diamonds themselves, with contemplating the cover-up of Pink Diamond's shattering by such authority. Resulting from this accusation, Yellow Diamond zapped the Defense and Prosecution Zircons in anger to end the "pointless" trial.

    Connie Maheswaran “ If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! Connie: Well, maybe you should!

    ” —"Change Your Mind" Connie's opinion was disregarded by Yellow Diamond as she confronted Blue Diamond to take them back to the tower, much like Blue Diamond expresses prejudice to Connie by seeing her as a "pet". Since this period, Connie has given insight supporting Steven's goals, which were enough to be considered and agreed with by Yellow and Blue even if they were to combat White Diamond to achieve these goals.

    Stevonnie “ Pink, you've gone too far, even for you! Stay in here and think about what you've done!

    ” —"Together Alone" In "Jungle Moon", Yellow Diamond's representative yells at Stevonnie and tells them to act like a Diamond. In "Together Alone", Yellow Diamond showed immense shock at Steven and Connie fusing, along with Blue Diamond. She ends up poofing Garnet, Opal, and Lemon Jade, and then throws Stevonnie into a dark room to "think about what [Pink Diamond has] done."

    Keys: White Diamond. · Secondary: Secondary character.

    White Diamond, or White for short, is a Homeworld Gem and the leader of the Great Diamond Authority that formerly ruled over the Gem race. She held supreme authority over all Gems, including her fellow Diamonds, and was seen as a being beyond the rest of her kind. For eons, White Diamond remained on the Gem Homeworld, secluded inside her ship, until she finally left Homeworld to help Steven Universe heal the corrupted Gems. She made her debut in "Legs From Here to Homeworld". With the beginning of Era 3 and the abolition of the Great Diamond Authority's tyranny, White Diamond started dedicating her time to help Gems with their self-worth problems by using a reversed version of her powers, allowing them to take control over her so that they can get in contact with their own selves.

16. #16Lapis Lazuliconstantselective

    Keys: Lapis Lazuli. · Secondary: Secondary character.

    Lapis Lazuli, or Lapis for short, 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, subsequently making her an enemy of 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. Steven later found her at the Moon Base and attempted to convince Lapis to return, but she refused out of fear. 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. She is shown to be more cheerful throughout the movie, though still retains a dark sense of humor, joking about her past as an antagonist and how she's still "on the fence" about hurting Steven. 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 and the subsequent shame Lapis showed for giving into her anger.

    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 Blue Eyes Navy 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"

    Appearance Lapis has a slim figure and is considerably tall, being about the same height as Pearl. She has Azure skin, blueberry blue chin-length hair with long bangs and 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.

    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 tank top that is blue on top and navy on the bottom resembling half a star. She also wears puffy dark-blue pants, which represent the second half of the star tied up by a bronze-gold ribbon, and matching 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.

    History Click here to view the history of Lapis Lazuli. Click here to view the history of Lapis Lazuli. 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: Jail Break 432 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 Lazuli Water Hand 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. Memory Projection 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.Lapizhealed 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.

    ” —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.

    Ocean Gem 159 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.

    The Message 012 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 attacking 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 Alone at Sea 094 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" Mirror Gem 192 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 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?"

    Hit the Diamond HD 233 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" Same Old World 200 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.

    Beta 015 Lapis and Peridot watching Camp Pining Hearts together.

    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 SU Movie 580 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" Jail Break 455 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.

    Alone at Sea 179 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.

    Connie Maheswaran The New Crystal Gems 170 Connie trying to make Lapis Lazuli stop from "The New Crystal Gems".

    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?" Why So Blue 218 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" Room for Ruby (304) 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" Reunited (584) 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.

    Keys: Peridot. · Secondary: Secondary character.

    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. 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.

    Nickname(s) Peri (Amethyst, Steven, Ruby) Peridactyl (Amethyst) Clod (Amethyst, Garnet, Lapis Lazuli) P-dot (Amethyst) Per (Amethyst) Dot (Amethyst, Steven) 5XG (Aquamarine) Tiny (Bismuth) Dip (Amethyst) Characteristics Species Gem Weapon(s) Limb enhancers (formerly; non-summoned) Ferrokinesis (non-summoned) Sex Sexless Gender Pronoun She/Her Age Around 3,000 years[1] Traits Hair Pale chartreuse yellow Eyes Dark green Gemstone Peridot Gem Type Peridot Professional Status Affiliation(s) Gem Homeworld (formerly) Yellow Diamond (former superior) Jasper (former escort) Lapis Lazuli (former informant) Crystal Temps Occupation(s) Certified Kindergartener (formerly) Technician Teacher Alignment Crystal Gems Personal Status Status Active Friend(s) Crystal Gems Pumpkin (pet) Greg Universe Connie Maheswaran Pink Pearl Cherry Quartz Media First Appearance "Warp Tour" Music Theme "Peridot" "Little Peridot"

    Appearance 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) In Dreams 202 Peridot without her visor.

    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, 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.

    Other Outfits 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.

    Personality The Return 233 Peridot's cold and calculated behavior.

    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.

    Explanation Peridot's more erratic behavior.

    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.

    History Click here to view the history of Peridot. Click here to view the history of Peridot. Abilities 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: The New Crystal Gems 252 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's on a roll 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: Kindergarten Kid 309 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 Too Short to Ride (1) 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".818e31f1a6d65c506681ef079cb28880 Peridot detaching the "foot" of a limb enhancer.

    Anatomical Separation: Peridot could separate sections of her limb enhancers by touching a lime-colored button at the zone she wants to remove.Friend Ship Peridot 03 Peridot's blaster.

    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 Levitation Peridot's tractor beam.

    Tractor Beam: Peridot could produce a light-green tractor beam from her left hand to move objects/people.Peri - Finger 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.Peri - 11 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.Peri - 7 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" Message Received 365 Peridot's "initiation" into the Crystal Gems.

    At first, the Crystal Gems did not know who Peridot was, but they all (except for Steven) seemed to be afraid of her (as shown when they hide from her in "Warp Tour" and "Marble Madness"), though it might have been due to the fact that none of them knew what she was capable of. 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. After the events of "Catch and Release", 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" Catch And Release 172 Peridot initially arguing with Steven.

    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.

    When It Rains 080 Peridot's first experience with rain.

    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.

    It Could've Been Great 072 Steven hugging Peridot.

    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.

    Kindergarten Kid 308 Steven teaches Peridot about bubbling.

    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" Same Old World 197 Peridot reunited with Lapis.

    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.

    Beta 078 Peridot and Lapis making music.

    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" Too Far 174 Peridot saving Amethyst.

    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.).

    Too Short to Ride 194 Amethyst being "real" with Peridot.

    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" Back to the Barn Number (198) Peridot being punched by Pearl.

    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.

    Back to the Barn Number (232) Pearl and Peridot reach an understanding.

    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" Log Date 7 15 2 255 Peridot attempting to fuse with Garnet.

    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

    Connie Maheswaran The New Crystal Gems 263 Peridot spending time with Connie.

    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

    Perismuth Peridot and Bismuth bonding.

    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.

    Greg Universe Log Date 7 15 2 056 Peridot pushing Greg off the roof

    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.

    Yellow Diamond “ 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" Message Received 330 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.

    Blue Diamond Reunited (699) Peridot "fighting" Blue Diamond

    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 The Return 248 Peridot, being pushed around by Jasper.

    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.

    Keys: Warp Pad. · Secondary: Teleportation device.

    Warp pads are teleportation devices created and utilized by Gems. It was first seen being used by the Crystal Gems in the Pilot, but the warp pads debuted officially in "Gem Glow".

    Information Type Teleportation device Appearances Debut Pilot (non-canon) "Gem Glow" (main series) Latest "The Future"

    Appearance Inactive warp pads at the galaxy warp.

    Warp pads are teal, crystalline platforms which resemble the top half of a brilliant-cut diamond. It is unknown what warp pads are made of, but it seems to be a solid material.

    Most warp pads bear the exact same design, with the exception of the warp pads at the galaxy warp. Warp pads to other planets include a small set of stairs, and the Homeworld Warp appears to be a large warp pad on top of a slightly larger warp pad. The side etchings on the warp pad at Rose's garden near Rose's fountain differ slightly from the standard faceted look.

    When activated, a warp pad emits a cylindrical beam of bright light - commonly referred to as a warp stream - and phases its occupants to the location they desire. From outside the warp stream, its passengers appear to fade away upwards into the stream. The stream extends as high as it can, into the sky or into a ceiling, and the warp itself cannot be physically obstructed or interrupted.

    About Bramble Rose's Garden Warp Pad Background At Rose's Garden near Rose's Fountain.

    Warp pads can be independently activated by Gems (including Steven), Gem-created technology (such as Peridot's Robonoids in "Warp Tour" or "Marble Madness"), and non-Gems using the warp whistle. However, anything that is atop a warp pad when the pad is activated will warp to the same destination as the activator. In the episode "Winter Forecast", the Crystal Gems are shown attempting to warp the shooting star to the galaxy warp without warping themselves, implying that such a process is possible but difficult.

    Warp pads transport their occupants through warp space. It is unclear how warp space works, though it's evident that common warp pads can only warp between other warp pads on Earth. In the episodes "Cheeseburger Backpack", "Serious Steven", and "Warp Tour", it is shown that warps are not actually instantaneous, its passengers ride the warp stream for a short while through warp space.

    It was first seen in "Coach Steven" that heavy objects can destroy warp pads and render them unusable. Pearl was unable to return to the Communication Hub after it was accidentally destroyed by Sugilite. Garnet destroyed the repaired Homeworld warp with her gauntlets in the episode "Warp Tour", Amethyst destroyed another off-planet warp pad at the galaxy warp with her whip and a broken structure during an attempt to capture Peridot in the episode "Friend Ship", Alexandrite accidentally smashed the Mask Island warp pad with her hand in a fight with Malachite in the episode "Super Watermelon Island".

    Although a broken warp pad appears unusable, it is possible to repair them. in the episode Warp Tour Peridot's flask robonoids are able to repair the Homeworld warp and the Crystal Temple warp from damage assumedly done by Crystal Gems after Homeworld Gems evacuated Earth. It is never made certain whether Steven is able to repair the damage done to warp pads with his healing abilities, as the only attempt was conducted when Steven was struggling with inconsistently manifesting powers. Healing spit has a shimmering crystal effect and an audio cue when it is functioning properly, and lacks this cue when Steven attempts to heal the Homeworld warp for Peridot.

    An uninstalled warp pad was first seen in Steven Universe: The Movie being set in place at Little Homeworld. Steven accidentally warped onto it while it's still being towed into place, showing that warp pads do not need to be set in the ground yet to be accessed.

    Diamond Throne Room (formerly as of Steven Universe: The Movie) Unknown Capital City Other Planets:

    Pink Diamond's garden Unknown ocean planet The Reef Trivia The concept of the warp pad is similar to the transporters from Star Trek, as well as any myriad of devices used to bring characters from one place to another in an instant. A warp whistle can be used to activate warp pads, as shown in "House Guest". This is a reference to two whistles of the same name, one found in Super Mario Brothers 3 and the other found in The Legend of Zelda. In those games, blowing the whistle warps the player to a different world/dungeon. First seen the episode "Space Race", the galaxy warp is a warp pad hub with special warp pads that travel off-planet, with the most notable warp destination being the Homeworld warp. Steven has shown that he can warp on his own in "House Guest". He becomes proficient enough at it to warp others with him by the time of "Island Adventure". Steven warps the Crystal Gems in the new opening. When he is responsible for the warping, he spreads his arms out in the process. Flask Robonoids contain a special liquid that can repair cracks in warp pads. Large quantities of the liquid can even repair large cracks like on the galaxy warp. Remaining stable within the warp stream seems to require practice, as Steven's first known use of it caused him to lose his balance. Connie also stumbles in "Sworn to the Sword". Lars, Sadie, and Greg seem to have managed to remain stable on first use, which makes instability perhaps a fact that occurs with children or smaller gems lacking experience. This could be because warp streams appear to have no gravity on account that in "Serious Steven" Steven can float up in the opposite direction of the stream to retrieve his ukulele. Warp pads have one of the most reoccurring appearances in the show compared to most objects. Before warp pads were built on Earth, it is shown in the episode "Friend Ship" that Ancient Gem Colony Ships were used to transport Gems to and from the colony. In "Monster Reunion" it is revealed that corrupted Gems such as Nephrite cannot use the warp pads, even if they are partially healed. In the podcast is revealed that the reason for this is because they require Gems to use their mind to visualize where they're going, and so Nephrite couldn't do that with her corrupted mind. Humans are able to ride a warp, they just cannot initiate warps. With the warp whistle, a human is actually able to activate a warp pad and determine the destination.
