Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a Homeworld Gem and an antagonist.

She was sent to Earth with a Topaz fusion to retrieve humans for Yellow and Blue Diamond to take them to Pink Diamond's Zoo.

She is currently a rogue Gem on the run with "Eyeball", her fusion partner, whom she has befriended in order to get revenge on Steven.

## Appearance

Aquamarine is a small Gem, being less than half of Steven's height.

She has a cherubic appearance and a bright cyan-blue complexion, azure eyes, no nose, and chin-length, light cerulean-blue hair worn in a bobbed style.

Her clothing vaguely resembles a prep school uniform, consisting of a blue vest worn over a dark blue dress with a white-collar, white wrist-length gloves, white knee-high socks, dark blue flat shoes, and a dark blue hair bow that she can turn into her wand.

The intersection of her vest and the lapels of her collar form a Blue Diamond symbol, hinting towards her superior.

Her teardrop-shaped gemstone is located beneath her left eye, and her water wings are similar to a butterfly's wings.

Her outfit, wings and the use of her stasis wand give her the appearance of a fairy or pixie.

## Personality

Despite her childlike voice and demeanor, Aquamarine is an accomplished and ruthless Gem.

She takes an authoritative stance due to her ego, ordering Topaz to act as muscle for their assigned mission, as revealed in "I Am My Mom".

Like Peridot before her betrayal, Aquamarine is directive, focused, and unconcerned with anything unrelated to her mission, ignoring the remaining Crystal Gems in favor of capturing the humans close to Steven.

This indifferent attitude extends toward her enemies, using her wand to throw Steven into a tree in "Are You My Dad?", rendering him unconscious, and even threatening to have his friends killed.

Despite being a loyal follower of the Diamond Authority, Aquamarine is willing to accept a compromise if the possible compensation is considered, such as having "Rose Quartz" turned in to meet the Diamonds.

She also shows that she will be able to talk her way out of a situation where she has the odds against her, when in "Stuck Together" she was at the mercy of Topaz who was going to poof her by reminding her the consequences of her actions.

Like many Homeworld Gems, Aquamarine has an arrogant streak, frequently believing that she is better than everyone else–going so far as to call herself "the best".

This results in her having a short temper when things do not go as she planned, quickly getting annoyed with Jamie for "ruining [her] moment", followed by Topaz prolonging the battle in her ship.

She is shown to be manipulative, using negative reinforcement against the Crystal Gems to comply with her demands and convincing Topaz to release her by warning of future retribution from the Diamonds.

She is also spiteful, seen when she mocks Steven clearly for her own amusement in "Stuck Together". In addition to her spitefulness, she has an attitude of sarcasm, as if she is moved by someone's actions but in the end, plays it off as a joke or prank against others.

Like Blue Diamond, she follows Homeworld's dogma to the letter, warning Topaz in her fusion not to commit taboo and break down into a sentimental state.

Because of her overly fixated mindset towards Homeworld's old system, she and "Eyeball" are unable to cope with the change in Homeworld, which causes her and "Eyeball" to be cast out.

This makes her and "Eyeball" hate Steven even more.

While it is true that Aquamarine is cruel, egotistical, destructive, and ruthless, it has also been shown that she is not completely devoid of the capacity for kindness, even if her kind moments are quite rare.

She has been shown to have at least some capacity for pity, as she is willing to overlook Topaz's defiance and her sudden burst of aggression in exchange for loyalty and pretend that nothing has happened.

She also displays genuine respect towards "Eyeball", despite her strong belief in the caste system and the Ruby being of a much lower rank than her.

## Skills & Abilities

* **Water Wings**: Similar to Lapis Lazuli, Aquamarine can summon water wings on her back to fly or evade enemies during combat. They have a noticeably sharper shape than Lapis' water wings, resembling butterfly or pixie wings.
* **Keen Memory**: Aquamarine appears to have a very good memory, being able to remember the names of six humans without any lists, descriptions, or visual aid. In "I Am My Mom" she remembered that the Diamonds didn't specify "alive" as a requirement for the humans. It's shown in the same episode that she takes great pride in this ability, calling her memory "perfect".
* **Superhuman Strength**: Aquamarine is deceptively strong. In Bluebird, when she and "Eyeball" unfused, she displayed incredible strength while holding Greg by his hair and carrying "Eyeball" by her hair before flying off.

## Weapons

* **Wand**: Aquamarine wears a navy blue ribbon on her head which she can whip into a small wand. Because all non-summoned weapons have been outlawed in Era 3, Aquamarine was stripped of her wand in the time between the original and Future series.
	+ **Tractor Beam**: Much like Peridot's limb enhancers, Aquamarine's wand can produce a light blue tractor beam that can move and throw objects with ease. Her beam is powerful enough to effortlessly freeze multiple targets at once, including massive fusions like Alexandrite.
