SU/Jades

In the world of Steven Universe, there exist nine different types of gem that have been simply identified as "**Jade**", this article documents all of them, however, each type has been given a name to distinguish between the other types. They appear to be of high class in the established Homeworld hierarchy, but they don't seem to be quite as elite as other high-class gems.

Two Jades (of different types) fuse after they see Stevonnie, Garnet, and Opal form, composing Lemon Jade only to be subsequently destabilized by Yellow Diamond.

Many of the Jades shown share designs with other Jades of the same type and variant, this likely being to fill the background with a larger crowd.

So far, all jade gems, regardless of gem type, are voiced by *Aparna Nancherla*, including Nephrites.

## Cog Jade

This type of Jade was first shown in the episode *"Together Alone"*, like all the others shown previously in this list. Although their exact purpose is unknown for certain, they are seen dancing with other jades of the same type in the Era 3 ball, carefully matching each-others movements like clockwork. This, alongside their long, dress-like gears replacing their bottom section, may suggest they are made specifically for dancing in balls with other "Cog" Jades.

Jades of this type have bean-shaped heads with a longer top part and shorter cheek area, with rounded convex noses and simple, round eyes. Their thin necks lead to their torsos, which despite being only ⅙ of their total body height, have decently long proportions, with an overall round-ish shape that tapers at the waist. They have thin arms with small hands, and, instead of legs, they possess long, dress-like shapes with eight thin, angular geometric protrusions located symmetrically across it, resembling a gear or water wheel when seen from above, hence the nickname. Due to this lack of legs, they can be seen sliding smoothly across the ground instead of walking. They are the same height as the two other dancing types of jade, which is just under a Pearl's height, around the same as a Lapis Lazuli.

All Jades of this type shown so far have worn the same attire, consisting of a simple, patternless top with large, pointed shoulder pads, elbow-length gloves, and a long, pointed, cone-shaped hairstyle. They've also all been shown with the same round cabochon gemstone, with the same highlight, just in different colors and locations.

## Common Jade

This is the only type of jade that didn't make its debut in the episode "Together Alone", or the show at all, in fact, they first appeared in the video game *Unleash The Light*, in which they were all seen in Pyrope's colony, yet outside of the Palace of Light.

Although their purpose is not made clear, it is stated that they used to live in the Palace of Light, they are Pyrope's subordinates, and are not adept at fighting, being more scared and meek instead. This implies that while they are of high rank, they are still closer to the middle class than most other gem types seen in the show. They may be some sort of decorated servant or assistant, however, this is speculation and unconfirmed.

When it comes to appearance, these jades have pear-shaped heads, with very large cheeks, as well as small noses and plump, cat-mouthed lips. They are relatively short, being only slightly taller than the Crystal Gem Amethyst, possibly the same height as the Carnelian in Pink Diamond's Human Zoo. Their bodies are resembling that of a Precious Sapphire, with thin arms but a more rounded chest, as well as a visibly drawn waist. Although not seen, it is most likely that they have legs, perhaps longer in proportion than the aforementioned sapphires.

Their uniform seems to typically consist of a floor-length dress of notable volume, with shoulder pads or puffy sleeves.
