Amethyst | A Gem's Horny Spot

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. Amethyst wears a black mock neck top which is torn open at the chest to reveal her gemstone, medium gray shorts with black stars on each leg and torn white fabric at the bottoms, and her boots regain their white coloring. It's worth noting that this is Amethyst's first known permanent form (aside from her very first form) to fully display her Gem, likely because of her newfound self-esteem. Her double K-cup breasts strain against her top and her thick thighs and juicy ass are always ridden up by her shorts as she doesn't wear underwear.

Personality 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.

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.

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.

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.

Abilities

Amethyst possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, weapon-Summoning, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability. After witnessing Amethyst's abilities in "Too Far", Peridot claims that Amethyst "can do everything a normal quartz can do" despite coming out short. This implies that her stature doesn't inhibit her strength.

Fusions When fused with Pearl, they form Opal. When fused with Ruby and Sapphire, they form Sugilite. When fused with Ruby, Sapphire, and Pearl, they form Alexandrite. When fused with Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Smoky Quartz. When fused with Ruby, Sapphire, Pearl, and Rose Quartz, they form Obsidian. When fused with Ruby, Sapphire, Pearl, and Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Obsidian.

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. Martial Arts: Amethyst is the Crystal Gem least likely to rely on her weapon in combat, relying instead on her martial arts skills and enhanced physical powers to deal with minor threats. She also is a skilled wrestler, easily defeating all her human challengers in the Beach City Underground Wrestling league. 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". Musical Talent: Amethyst knows how to play the drums, as revealed in "Steven and the Stevens". Enhanced Regeneration: Amethyst can normally regenerate very quickly and with great variation, but this has been shown to backfire, as regenerating so quickly can make her new body extremely unstable. Enhanced Strength: 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. Photokinesis: Amethyst is shown using her gemstone to project a purple light, like a flashlight. Bubbling: Amethyst is able to bubble objects. Her bubbles are purple and are sent to the Burning Room inside the Temple. After Peridot poofs Jasper, Amethyst bubbles her gemstone. Spin Dash: Amethyst can rapidly roll into a ball-like shape to attack enemies. While powerful, it is smaller than Jasper's version. Homing Attack: Amethyst can home in on nearby enemies while spin dashing. Whiplash Spin Dash: Amethyst can summon both of her whips, ignite them with violet fiery energy and then spin dash on top of them, giving a violet aura to her spin dash. When she makes contact with something, it causes a big violet explosion. Hair-Blade: Amethyst can use her hair to slash at an enemy with such potency it severs others. This includes the claw of Bixbite. Enhanced Digestion: Amethyst can eat materials (including glass, plastic, paper, etc.) and can digest it without getting sick or disgusted. However, she was food poisoned by a burrito in "So Many Birthdays". Fire burp: Amethyst can burp fire after drinking cooking oil, as revealed in the episode "Gem Harvest".
