Blue Diamond

Blue Diamond is a Homeworld Gem who is part of the Diamond Authority, the matriarchs of Homeworld that rule over Gemkind, and who is usually accompanied by Blue Pearl. She was once the supervisor of the colonization of Earth before abandoning it after the Crystal Gems' rebellion. 
== Appearance ==
Blue Diamond's appearance appears to be heavily influenced by Indian and Muslim culture. Her clothing resembles that of a traditional Arab wedding dress, specifically a Henna dress.
Rebecca stated that Blue Diamond's character design is meant to look "ghostly" to get the feeling of her mourning, and draws much influence from Martha Graham's Lamentation ballet dance, along with Fruma Sarah from Fiddler on the Roof. Her face and hair designs are also inspired by Leiji Matsumoto's art, to make her come across as a "strange presence".
== Canon Background Info ==
Blue's debut portrays her as a very mellow individual who treats high-ranking members of her court with respect. According to Holly Blue Agate, Blue 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 "Saving" Greg from the threat of the Cluster after taking a liking to him, unaware that the Cluster is no longer active, demonstrates this.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 Steven and gives him a chance to speak. However, as with Yellow, 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 save her.

* Diamond is the transparent, gemstone-quality crystalline form of carbon and it is indeed one of the hardest known natural substances on Earth.
