== Personality ==
Amazonite is a perfectionist knowledgeable on a plethora of topics that values organizations. She has a penchant for symmetry and a high attention to details. Despite her perfectionism and occasional bragging, Amazonite suffers from low self-esteem. She is very dependent on others to validate her, which loops into a strong inferiority complex, and she needs everyone's constant approval to feel secure. Without anyone to tell her what to do or to depend on her, Amazonite feels lost without 
meaning or value. Amazonite 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. Amazonite is easily flustered and overwhelmed when confronted by the unknown or when her plans fail, which can lead to her judgement being clouded or cause her to act on impulse instead of rational thinking. Her inner turmoil over her role in the war has made Amazonite lash out at Cat's Eye more than once. When realizing how much she hurt others, Amazonite will apologize and try as hard as she can to set things right, working hard to counteract the damage she may have inflicted. Amazonite is poorly adjusted to life on Earth, being unaware of human social conventions and culture, such as jokes, games, arcades, food, and birthday parties. Regardless of her poor understanding of human society, Amazonite is extremely dedicated to her cause in protecting humanity more or less out of her love, loyalty, and admiration for Cat's Eye Scapolite. She does, however, find certain aspects of Earth rather amazing. Aside from her pessimism and perfectionism, Amazonite is usually polite and reserved to others; she keeps everything set orderly and tidy.
Amazonite is skilled with advanced Gem technology and worked for Yellow Diamond as a skilled technician and took her work seriously, crushing one of her minion's gemstones underfoot when she was damaged and useless to her. After unfusing from Tiger's Eye, Amazonite became increasingly frantic and erratic in her attempts to contact Homeworld, knowing that Cat's Eye's continuous interference with her mission would leave her stuck on Earth when the Cluster emerges and destroys the planet. 
When working, Amazonite insists things be done her way and despises compromising. When she does cooperate, it typically takes some persuasion from Cat's Eye. This is not to say Amazonite is incapable of putting others above herself; she is just not used to having others who are willing to do the same for her. The same behavior extends to her admitting something personal. She thinks that any diverging off the chosen path (i.e. touring Earth, disobeying Homeworld) leads to only negative 
consequences, and second-guesses herself constantly. Amazonite is just be acting like how she was taught to in Yellow Diamond's court, and she didn't like how ruthless she had been with Yellow Diamond. 
Amazonite thinks she's a horrible leader, and she not want to be in charge of things. She feels that she can't be trusted with it because of who it makes her become. Ruthless, oppressive, and destructive. She's sarcastic, rude, usually selfish and power-hungry, no-nonsense and down-to-earth. While she may seem very realistic, as Cat's Eye has said so multiple times, she can be very clueless. Plus, she is fairly condescending and scathing to everyone, with the exception of Cat's Eye the only person she is consistently shown to treat with love and care. However, it is stated by Cat's Eye ever since Tiger's Eye, Amazonite has rarely smiled, if at all. Cat's Eye has also noted he's become much colder than he used to be. Despite this, Amazonite still has strong maternal instincts for Cat's Eye and will put herlife in danger in a heart beat to safeguard Cat's Eye's life. Amazonite opens up momentarily, performing kind acts, though always covering them up with sarcasm, and denying them if asked. Aside from that, Amazonite maintains a stony, ice-cold exterior. Although she may seem very unkind toward Cat's Eye, she means everything to Amazonite.
Amazonite loves Cat's Eye and defends her tirelessly when trouble brews. She likes to spend some time cheering up Cat's Eye by asking her questions about stuff in her interest like her future. Noble and intelligently clever, she has a strong sense of morality and participates in politics. She regularly organizes and attends events and showpieces such as scientific conferences, parties, and talent shows such as musical concerts. Amazonite is highly cultured and educated with an undying passion for science, though she doesn't consider the ramifications of her experiments until the damage has been done. In her dedication, she drives herself to exhaustion with her experiments. Though ordinarily sweet and good-natured, Amazonite has a malicious aspect of her personality whenever she is crossed. Even with her kind disposition, her moral code is not as strict as Cat's Eye's. She sometimes says morbid or inappropriate things and then giggles. She exhibits a playful attitude and a willingness to perform pranks with Cat's Eye, because she is free from the responsibilities that came with being an Amazonite on Homeworld and that she could act like a kid again. She acts noticeably more childlike when she is not in her role as an Amazonite. She dresses and talks more casually when she is not busy with her work. As an Amazonite, she is prim, poised, and straight-laced, but is quite capable of loosening up with Cat's Eye.
Amazonite is afraid of her own mortality, and since then, she has been more of a "mysterious" character. She worries what would become of Tiger's Eye if she dies. She considers the possibility of living forever is not scientifically possible yet, so she creates an heir in the form of Tiger's Eye. Furthermore, her worry about the fate of Cat's Eye in the event of her demise has led her to perform questionable acts and become more of a pragmatic character such as consistent surveillance on 
anything that could be a threat. Despite the morally grey actions, they are motivated by her desire to protect, if taken to potentially paranoia levels. This can be best seen when Tiger's Eye calls her a 'bad person' for her actions. A rational thinker, Amazonite is also very confident in herself and science. She believes that she cannot lose as long as she has science on her side. She also shows disbelief towards magic, labeling it as scientific principles presented like mystical hoodoo. She also claims that all magic is science, and Gems just don't know what they're doing so they call it magic.
Pride is Amazonite strength and weakness; she never backs down from a fight and gives everything she can. This results in her sense of superiority and sense of arrogance, making it extremely difficult to earn her respect, and causes her to look down on and treat others as inferior until they do so. This gives her difficulty when forced to rely on others and work as a team. Her pride in herself and her accomplishments is a prominent part of her, and she reacts harshly to those who threaten 
or infringe on it. One of Amazonite's recurring traits is her absolute refusal to believe in the magic powers that is used by Gems. Understandably, Amazonite gains a lot of contempt and disdain from virtually every single person she knows (with the exception of Cat's Eye) - mostly Tiger's Eye in particular. Cat's Eye constantly holds out hope for her, tough Tiger's Eye finds Amazonite's attitude and arrogance quite infuriating. Amazonite, for the most part, could not care less about what 
people think about her and returns the contempt in kind. Amazonite, although generally self-centered and egotistic, does have some morals in that she is against stealing. She has a vast belief that hard work and determination is what gets you ahead in life, not stealing from others to advance your situation. As such, she is disgusted by Yellow Diamond, calling her pathetic and not worth living up to the Diamond Authority because she was planning on destroying Earth with the Cluster to win 
the war, instead of earning it through the hard work and determination she went through. 
Amazonite still clings Homeworld's social dogma. She refuses to acknowledge Cat's Eye's skill as a technician for this reason. She shows a strong aversion to fusion, referring to Tiger's Eye as a "permafusion". She refers to Tiger's Eye as a "filthy war machine", due to her belief that fusion should only be used for combat. She has also stated that Tiger's Eye makes her "incredibly uncomfortable." Amazonite does try to appeal to Cat's Eye's favor, as Cat's Eye sees Amazonite as the closest thing to a "normal" Gem, by forming Tiger's Eye despite Amazonite being incredibly socially oblivious and unfamiliar with the concept of fusion. While Amazonite likes to follow the rules, she gets slightly excited when she breaks them. A natural leader, Amazonite has a caring and loving personality. She is an atypical kind of Gem; rather than living in accordance to her Gem caste's values, Amazonite chooses to be different and encourages other Gems to be too. Her doctrine is that Gems can take control of their own identities and that her race's limited display of individually is a conviction forced down upon them. In the same manner, she shows displeasure towards Gem traditions and natures. She gets somber when reflecting on Gems' permanent existences, and she admits she never misses her home. She feels great sorrow when her loved ones are hurt and sees beauty in everything no matter how gross. Her capacity for empathy extends even to her enemies; Amazonite can value her enemies' lives just as much as her allies'. Amazonite is a masterful tactician, a crucial skill that earned her renown. As an Amazonite, she is created to be a warrior, albeit one with abilities that focused on defense. She is proficient in both combat as well as military command and strategy. 
Amazonite shows ambivalence toward her role in the war, and she describes this as "a good thing" and Yellow Diamond as someone who "always did what she wanted". Tiger's Eye paints Amazonite as a ruthlessly efficient warrior and leader who not only commands her fellow Gems in battle, but also participates in the fighting. Tiger's Eye nature as a fusion is tempted by a strong sense of righteousness, as she refuses to go to the extent of needlessly killing Gems like Amazonite to win, 
proving her love for life is not stronger than her warrior instincts. During her time with Cat's Eye, she begins to realize that the Crystal Gems' philosophy is very flawed. Amazonite does not intend to hurt the feelings of the others, but does due to her ineptitude, though she has greatly improved. When a cause is important to her, Amazonite is just as passionate as Cat's Eye. Amazonite suffers confidence issues because she is overcooked. She sees herself as nothing more than a joke and a
failure, and even told Cat's Eye that she must have been desperate to enlist the help of a "runt" like her. Her inflated ego, slight condescending attitude, and bragging is a way of compensating for her own insecurities. Because of her origins and her dark legacy, Amazonite harbors a tremendous amount of self-loathing, which is also fueled by her perception that she is inadequate when compared to Yellow Diamond, Cat's Eye, or even Tiger's Eye. This leaves her feeling out of place among most Gems, thinking that she does not belong with Gems of their caliber when she was created as the very thing they seek to destroy. She has difficulty thinking for herself, and forms Tiger's Eye based on what she thinks Cat's Eye will approve of. 
Amazonite supports Cat's Eye through thick and thin. She has a joyful enthusiasm for whatever she undertakes. She is lenient and supportive toward Cat's Eye, while still garnering her love and respect. Amazonite is substantiated by many bourgeois and motherly stereotypes. She is extremely outgoing, flamboyant, feminine, and has absurd obsessions with performing arts and dramatic tradition - she will occasionally take extreme measures to pursue these and make Cat's Eye join her in enacting 
this. She's always on the lookout for a surprise birthday party or unexpected anniversary present, and her faith in Cat's Eye is unwavering. She's prone to bursting into song after a visit to her beloved musical dinner theater, and though she thinks she's an excellent hostess, her blood boils when guests aren't willing to make small talk. Amazonite is a pushover, always being easily convinced by Cat's Eye to do all the work in protecting Earth, but she doesn’t think she’s a pushover. Cat's 
Eye in particular, can make Amazonite do whatever she wants. Also, Amazonite doesn't show emotions or emote well. Even when times are rough and she's under tremendous amounts of pressure, her voice is always inflectionless, even her groans are disinterested. Amazonite has quite a bit of confidence and self-worth. And to further attest to her self confidence, she considers herself to be a smart and strong.
Amazonite is a good-natured, and impressionable Gem who can be somewhat easily manipulated. She is good listener and follows directions well. These traits make her the perfect sidekick to Cat's Eye. Amazonite may sometimes act spineless, but she shows bravery and quick-wittedness in the face of adversity. While Tiger's Eye has expressed her belief that Amazonite is unintelligent, there is substantial evidence to the contrary. Amazonite is able to grasp complex concepts, such as the 
multiverse of infinite realities, and is quick to notice the hypocrisy regarding her morality. Despite this, Amazonite thinks poorly of her own intelligence, referring to Cat's Eye and herself as idiots. This is because of her impressionable nature; since Tiger's Eye says she's stupid, and that she doesn't perform her job well, she has a low opinion of herself. Despite her malleable nature, Amazonite has the strength to be able to stand up to Cat's Eye. Amazonite directly calls out Cat's Eye on 
her cynical nature, and has a tendency to become hysterically upset at her. She leads her own adventure with the direct goal of helping people. Her malleable nature makes her echo Yellow Diamond's words and speech, especially after someone insults Cat's Eye. Amazonite has repressed anger issues, which cause her to become savage and ill-tempered.
While Amazonite cares deeply for her friends, she also harbors an immense hatred for Homeworld elites - specifically the Diamond Authority. She also relishes the freedom and possibility that results from being a Crystal Gem. She speaks with passion and wonder about her ability to be herself (rather than a copy of Yellow Diamond) and her own ability to differentiate herself from other Amazonites by doing what she wants rather than conforming to a prescribed role. Amazonite's passion for maintaining her own freedom and the freedom of others is what drives her to fight against Homeworld. She deeply resents Homeworld elites for forcing her to do their bidding, and this resentment manifests itself in the form of unmitigated hatred. Amazonite is vindictive and determined to win the fight against Homeworld at any cost. She has no faith in the leadership of Homeworld, whom she believes to be fundamentally evil, and sees it as her duty to free the Gems that live under Homeworld's rule. Because of this conviction, she is willing to go to any length to obtain what she sees as justice. When it comes to defeating Homeworld, Amazonite becomes ruthless and a danger to anyone standing in her way.

=== Skillset ===
* Machete Proficiency: Amazonite an incredible aptitude for the ways of the machete. She is able to wield small blades with great proficiency and cunning as well as stealth; concealing multiple machetes flawlessly, to be retrieved at will in combat.
** Machete Styles: Extreme skill with all forms of machete, paired with the ease with which such weapons may be hidden on the body, allows Amazonite to employ a richly varied fighting style: switching between any number of exotic types of machete mid-battle to hack, jab, hook or otherwise harm a target.
** Knifemanship: Amazonite may even use some specialized varieties of machete in ways they were not designed for, such as throwing a golok accurately or impaling with a parang. In addition, this may allow Amazonite to pin targets down through their opponent's clothing or flesh, preventing them from moving without actually killing them. Amazonite may also target and exploit an opponent's vital points with flawless accuracy, in order to make a swift, silent kill or disable without inflicting lethal wounds.
=== Unique Abilities ===
* Phytokinesis: Amazonite can create, shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, moss, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits and flowers. She can cause plants to grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure and revive withered or dead plants. She may also control plants in their altered forms (concentrated forms, such as cotton clothing/fabric, paper, etc.)
** Healing: Amazonite can use her power for defense and support by growing plants from the ground and make them sprout seeds/fruits/berries, or even use plant chemicals to heal people or objects or manipulate their properties for a wide range of effects.
** Chlorokinetic Combat: The ability may deal a series of offensive techniques on a target. Using the plants as weapons enables Amazonite to grasp and strike continuously with vines and roots, project thorns at a distance, and quickly regenerate the withering weapons at will. She can make vines grow and climb around a target's neck, causing choking, or even strike with plants. A more subtle technique is to release damaging toxins and pheromones, affecting targets in which conditions should be treated quickly with ailments.
