As shown in her debut, Homeworld reputes Yellow Diamond as a perfectly logical and rational leader, though in reality, she is vindictive and quick to anger. When her followers contacted her but failed, she is rather annoyed but will offer them multiple chances to redeem themselves, but if not than they would pay her consequences,Yellow Diamond has a dangerous and lethal temper, treating an act of disrespect against herself or her fellow Diamonds with aggression and violence.Yellow is shown to get fed up when anyone disagrees with her beliefs, including about the value of other lifeforms and the caste system's duties.Despite being very efficient, Yellow Diamond puts forth her agenda under the guise that it is what is best for the Gem race.When Steven is revealed to be the bearer of Pink Diamond's Gem, Yellow showcases genuine concern for his well-being and safety,and thanks to her nephew, Steven, she is more understanding and watches her emotions before she gets hot tempered.it is shown that she and Blue are in fact miserable because of White's controlling and perfectionist nature. When she finally broke down crying it was shown that she was so not used to showing her feelings that she thought that Blue was using her power on her. It is also shown that Yellow can be selfless and caring, she also apparently has a high sense of humor and is always helpful and loyal to her family proving her as the element of loyalty

### Ancient History

Yellow Diamond has existed for thousands of years. Over time, she amassed a great amount of respect, colonies, and Gems. It is revealed in "Your Mother and Mine" that some of Yellow Diamond's many colonies are asteroid fields that are used as mines.

Although she sometimes clashed with Pink Diamond, Yellow Diamond had a very close relationship with her. Along with the other Diamonds, she would attend many of Pink's parties in celebration of the Diamond Authority's achievements. All of the Diamonds would come to her pool area, where Pink would stand underwater and sing, while she, White and Blue attempted to guess the song.

During her colonization of the Jungle Moon's planet, Yellow had Pink observe her. To the latter's amazement, she commanded a fleet of Nephrites to begin colonizing the planet, disregarding their concerns of organic life on the surface. Pink's fascination became an annoyance to Yellow since she began to play around with her control panel, so the latter eventually scolded the former for her immaturity.

### Over 6,000 Years Ago

In "Reunited", Yellow reveals that she eventually gave into Pink's begging and allowed her to run a colony. When Pink later no longer wanted to colonize Earth, Yellow scolded and told her to finish what she had started.

### Over 5,000 Years Ago

When Pink eventually staged her own shattering and Earth was deemed to no longer be a viable colony, it can be assumed that Yellow played a part in the Cluster's creation and possibly commenced the fusion experiments, as she refers to the Cluster as "my Cluster".

### Over 4,500 Years Ago

Yellow also aided in unleashing the Corrupting Light when combining her powers with White and Blue Diamond at the end of the Rebellion with the intent of obliterating every Gem left on Earth's surface. Over the course of the following thousands of years, Yellow blames herself for Pink's demise, knowing that she was not ready for a colony of her own but giving in nonetheless.

### Before "Warp Tour"

Yellow Diamond wishes to know how the Cluster and its prototypes are developing. She assigns Peridot to go to the Prime Kindergarten Control Room on Earth to retrieve this information.

### After "Marble Madness"

Once Peridot reports that Gems are still present on Earth, Yellow Diamond assigns Jasper to escort her there in a Gem Warship.

### "The Return"

After Steven summons Rose's shield, Jasper tells Peridot that Yellow Diamond has to see what Rose has become.

### "Cry for Help"

Peridot uses the Earth's Communication Hub to send out a distress signal to Yellow Diamond. She tells Yellow Diamond that her mission has been compromised and that she lost Jasper and Lapis Lazuli, and begs her to send help.

### "Catch and Release"

After coming to the realization that there may be no way to get off of the Earth, Peridot freaks out and mentions how she still never received a response from Yellow Diamond.

### "It Could've Been Great"

Peridot becomes ecstatic at the Moon Base when she sees Yellow Diamond's mural. She asks Steven if he agrees with her that Yellow Diamond is magnificent.

### "Message Received"

Peridot describes Yellow Diamond as "the most perfect, the most reasonable, rational, efficient decider ever to exist in the universe." Later on, Peridot uses the Diamond Communicator to call her. Yellow Diamond takes over the call after her Pearl talks to Peridot. She asks Peridot how her mission to Earth was, inquires about Jasper's whereabouts, and what happened to the ship. Yellow Diamond thanks Peridot for her report, and tells her that she would be sending a ship to her location to pick her up, but Peridot continues the call, telling Yellow Diamond that they should terminate the Cluster because the Earth has so many valuable resources. Yellow Diamond disagrees because she wants the Cluster to emerge and for the Earth to die. This causes the two to get into an argument and eventually leads to Peridot insulting Yellow Diamond. After the call is over, Yellow Diamond remotely detonates the Diamond Communicator in anger.

### "Log Date 7 15 2"

Peridot is shown to be fearful after realizing she insulted Yellow Diamond.

### "Hit the Diamond"

Yellow Diamond sends a group of Rubies to the Earth to locate and retrieve Jasper. Peridot reveals that Yellow Diamond has full control of Homeworld's army.

### "That Will Be All"

Yellow Diamond comes to the Zoo, only to find Blue Diamond crying in the bubble room. She tells her that she has come to bring her "back to reality," which she believes is moving on from Pink Diamond instead of constantly grieving. She sings to Blue Diamond, expressing that although the Diamonds still love and think about Pink Diamond, they need to move on to the best interest of their empire. When Yellow Diamond discovers that all Blue Diamond wants is to preserve more humans for the Zoo, she asks Sapphire if the Cluster emerged yet. When she says it has not yet, Yellow Diamond reassures Blue Diamond that "there's still time", before dismissing them.

### "I Am My Mom"

Using the report they received from Peridot in "Marble Madness", Blue and Yellow Diamond send Aquamarine and Topaz to Earth to retrieve the different human varieties mentioned by Steven during his very first interaction with Peridot.

### "The Trial"

Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond arrive in the courtroom on Homeworld to run a trial against Steven (whom they believe is Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond's murderer). Upon seeing Steven for the first time, Yellow Diamond tells Blue Diamond that they should shatter him just for taking on a "hideous form". Upon Blue Diamond's wishes, Yellow reluctantly agrees to the trial and summons her and Blue's thrones. When the yellow prosecuting Zircon addresses Yellow Diamond by many names, Yellow becomes irritated and tells her that "my Diamond" will suffice. After the prosecuting Zircon makes her case with the help of Eyeball, Yellow Diamond is convinced that Rose is guilty and believes it is time to execute Steven, but the trial continues upon Blue Diamond's wishes so the defense can speak. The blue defending Zircon wishes to remind the court that Steven turned himself in, which Yellow Diamond replies "the court remembers, and the court does not care". When Steven tells the Diamonds that he shattered Pink Diamond, Yellow becomes relieved, thinking that the trial is over because he confessed. Blue Diamond asks Steven how he shattered Pink Diamond, and he makes up a story since he doesn't know the exact details. This causes Blue Diamond to become distressed at the inconsistencies of Steven's story. Yellow then yells at Steven for upsetting her and calls a short recess before going to comfort Blue Diamond.

As the defending Zircon makes her argument, asking the Diamonds how a Rose Quartz got past Pink Diamond's entire entourage, Yellow Diamond becomes outraged; she slams her fists down and yells that her entourage was there and they saw the whole thing. Yellow Diamond yells to the Zircon that Rose must have slipped past Pink Diamond's Agates and Sapphires. Once the defending Zircon blames the Diamonds for the death of Pink, Yellow stands up and poofs her with her finger, and then uses an electricity attack to poof the prosecuting Zircon. Right afterward, Yellow tells Blue that they don't need to listen to that "nonsense" and that they can shatter Steven and be done with it. Blue yells at Yellow, asking if she can restrain herself, to which Yellow responds that the trial is pointless. After Steven and Lars escape in Blue Diamond's Palanquin, Yellow Diamond cuts her own hole in the side of the building. As the palanquin falls, Yellow Diamond stands at the edge of the hole and warns Steven "You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth... but you're on our world now."

### "Raising the Barn"

Steven mentions Yellow Diamond to Peridot and Lapis over video chat. He tells them about his encounter with the Diamonds on Homeworld, and how he and Lars escaped in Blue Diamond's Palanquin. This shocks Lapis, causing her to abruptly end the call.

### "Jungle Moon"

After falling asleep in an abandoned base on the Jungle Moon, Stevonnie dreams of a hypothetical exchange where Dr. Maheswaran, dressed as Yellow Diamond, interacts with Pink Diamond, represented by Stevonnie. While Yellow takes care of communicating with a crew of Nephrites to initiate contact with the Jungle Moon's planet for invasion and colonization, getting increasingly angered by the crew's incompetence, Pink incessantly tries to get Yellow's attention, much to Yellow's annoyance. After the call ends, Yellow goes back to her controls where Pink bothers her some more, curious about her commands. While Yellow is patient enough to explain it to her, Pink's insistence starts to get on her nerves. Pink then eventually throws a tantrum about not being treated equally to the other Diamonds and demands to have colonies of her own too. Yellow refutes by stating that if she wants such things she must behave like the Diamond leader she is, getting aggressive towards her. Pink walks away and Yellow carries on with the rest of the plans for colonizing the jungle moon's planet. After Stevonnie wakes up and goes to the top floor of the moon base, they find evidence revealing the dream sequence was a flashback to what happened many years ago. Yellow later also appears in another mural in said base, and in a slide in the base's systems, unaware of her Pearl taking a 'selfie' of the two.

### "Your Mother and Mine"

Yellow Diamond appears in Garnet's story of Rose Quartz. At the end of the Rebellion, she helps Blue and White Diamond corrupt most of the remaining Gems on Earth.

### "Can't Go Back"

Yellow Diamond appears in Steven's dream of the Diamonds. She says nothing during the conversation between Blue Diamond and Pink Diamond and appears to ignore them entirely.

### "A Single Pale Rose"

Yellow Diamond briefly appears at the beginning of the episode in a flashback to Steven's trial. She is also mentioned by Rose Quartz when she states that Yellow never cared about her or her pleas to stop the Earth's colonization.

### "Now We're Only Falling Apart"

Yellow Diamond appears in Pearl's flashback about Pink Diamond. Pink pleads with her to spare the Earth, but she refuses to listen, forcing Pink to begin the Rebellion as Rose Quartz.

### "Reunited"

Yellow arrives with Blue on Earth to reactivate the Cluster. Using her arm ship, Yellow pops the Cluster's bubble, and when it forms in the shape of an arm, it attacks Yellow's ship. Yellow's ship and the Cluster then engage in arm wrestling until the ship eventually breaks down. The Cluster then smashes Yellow's defenseless ship into Blue's, causing Yellow to step out onto the beach. When Peridot taunts her, Yellow poofs her and later knocks Steven out in a fit of rage when he claims to be Pink Diamond. Yellow then later poofs Lapis Lazuli. In his mindscape, Steven discovers that Yellow blames herself for Pink's demise due to allowing her to run a colony. When Steven makes his presence known, Yellow and Blue attack him until Steven reveals that he can control Pink's aura. Steven then wakes up with the Gems along with Yellow and Blue standing over him, the latter two believing he is Pink.

### "Legs From Here to Homeworld"

Yellow tries activating her ship, but it is too broken to function. She then walks over to Steven and asks "Pink" why she would let them believe she was shattered, and why she is in a "ridiculous disguise" and "doing a voice". After Steven briefly explains the story of Pink and Rose and tells the Diamonds that he does not have her memories, Yellow believes Pink's memories must be somewhere inside of Steven. Steven takes Yellow and Blue to the Ancient Gem Colony Ship to show them what their Corrupting Light did to Gems. Yellow is confused when she sees Centipeetle, not understanding what she is and then stating that nobody should have survived the attack. Steven convinces the Diamonds to try to heal her; Yellow reverts Centipeetle back to her normal form, Blue heals her damaged mind, and Steven makes her mind and thoughts coherent. Centipeetle, now known as Nephrite, believes that Yellow and Blue came back to Earth and avenged Pink Diamond, destroying Rose Quartz. This causes Yellow and Blue to let go of her out of shame, and Nephrite reverts to the monstrous Centipeetle form.

Yellow asks "Pink" how many perfectly adequate Gems she had them ruin. She then tells Steven that in order to permanently and properly heal Corrupted Gems, they need White Diamond's help. Yellow and the others board Pink Diamond's abandoned ship from Rose's Landfill and begin traveling towards Homeworld. On the way there, Yellow tells Steven that they'll be lucky if White ever speaks to them again and that returning to Homeworld via Pink's ship will irrefutably make the last 6,000 years the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened, and that they are the ones to blame. She warns Steven to let her do the talking when they meet with White. When they arrive on Homeworld, Yellow tells everyone to wait on the ship while Blue and herself speak with White. Everyone then hears the sound of a crowd cheering and proceed to exit the ship. When White Pearl arrives requesting Steven's presence, Yellow calls Blue over but White Pearl emphasizes that only Pink Diamond is necessary.

### "Familiar"

Yellow sends Yellow Pearl to bring "Pink Diamond" to the Extraction Chamber. Upon greeting Steven, she tells him that her sauna is new, and asks how his meeting with White went. She comments that Steven only being able to speak two and a half words to White is a new record, and wishes him luck with attempting to talk to her about the Corrupted Gems. She tells Steven that "White never leaves her head these days" or lets anyone in, except Pink, which she believes to be unfair given how many colonies she owns and Pink only having one failed colony. Steven tells her that maybe she should fail in order to receive White's sympathy, which Yellow laughs off and reminisces about how Pink always knew how to make her laugh. Yellow then receives a notification that she must check up on the Citrine production reports, and excuses herself.

Pearl later tells Steven "Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies, and when she's not doing that, she's off with her army conquering the next one".

### "Together Alone"

Steven has a nightmare where he is juggling with White Pearl before Yellow enters the room by extending her neck to check if they are fooling around. Once they pretend they are not, Yellow happily leaves.

In the Diamond Throne Room, Yellow finds the idea of Steven throwing a ball to be brilliant, as the return of Pink Diamond would mark the beginning of Era 3. She instructs her Pearl to go over Homeworld's customs with Steven since he has no memories from Pink Diamond's time on Homeworld.

As the ball begins, Yellow Pearl announces Yellow's entrance to the crowd, and she compliments Steven on having a big turnout. Later, however, when Steven and Connie accidentally fuse on the dance floor, Yellow scolds them and uses her electrokinesis to poof Garnet, Opal, and a Jade fusion. Yellow then throws Stevonnie into an unknown room to think about what they did wrong, claiming that Pink has gone too far, even for her own standards.

### "Change Your Mind"

Blue Diamond takes Steven and Connie to Yellow Diamond's Bubble Chamber to retrieve the Crystal Gems, to which Yellow Diamond questions what they are doing. Blue clearly states her intent to return the Crystal Gems to Earth, as they are happier there than they are on Homeworld. Yellow yells at Blue to take Steven and Connie back to the prison tower, but Blue refuses and the two begin to fight. While Blue and Yellow are distracted with their fight, Steven and Connie retrieve the bubble the Crystal Gems are contained in. Steven creates a bubble around him, Connie and the Gems as Blue and Yellow's fight causes them to break through a wall.

Yellow angrily yells at Blue, asking why she would hurt her closest companion and a fellow Diamond. In anger, Yellow attacks Blue with her destabilizing electrokinesis repeatedly until Steven throws his shield at her hand, causing her to stop. Steven yells that Yellow doesn’t have to fight, but Yellow refuses, rebutting that they all have to make sacrifices to appease White Diamond and maintain the "perfection" of the Gem Empire. Steven asks Yellow Diamond if this is what she would consider "perfect". Yellow analyzes the situation and realizes that doing this would cause everything that makes her happy to disappear, causing her to relent her attack and finally listen to Steven.

Steven secures the Crystal Gems to leave, wondering why they haven’t reformed yet. Yellow tells him that they will be out for a while, due to taking a direct hit from her destabilizing electrokinesis. Blue interrupts and tells them they have to leave before White finds out their plan. Yellow and Blue begin taking Steven, Connie and the Gems to the Pink's ship, but White Pearl stops them, menacingly telling Steven that he's "not going anywhere". White Diamond's ship then begins flying and connects with Pink's.

However, Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond's ships, repaired and piloted by Bismuth and Lapis and Peridot respectively, attack White and knocks the ships over. Blue tells them to take one of their ships to escape to Earth, with Yellow insisting that they hold off White while Pink escapes. Steven refuses, saying that Pink ran away from them, then started a war with them, and states that it's time to finally just talk to them. Yellow and Blue attach their ships to the Diamond Mech, and Steven forces it to kneel and listen. Finally, with White Diamond's attention, Steven tells her that Yellow and Blue are unhappy with the standards she expects, of which Yellow elaborates that even though she does everything perfectly, it doesn't seem to ever be enough for White, and that causes a lot of stress for both Yellow and all the other Gems. Blue reminds White that they all used to be close and that Pink's seemingly meaningless actions were to try and keep them together and happy. Blue adds that though her purpose isn't to be happy, she finds it more difficult to enforce White's rules when they make her feel so miserable. Steven asks White once more to allow them inside her head to try and make a new beginning. White Diamond responds by firing beams from her eyes that completely remove the color of both Yellow and Blue Diamond, who then warp into the Diamond Mech.

Later, when the Gem break into White's ship, Blue and Yellow are still under her control. After Steven breaks through to White, she releases her control of them. They all then go to Earth to cure all of the Corrupted Gems, crashing Sadie Miller's concert. Here, they witness the arrival of Lars and the Off-Colors and after that brief interaction, they all come together at Rose's Fountain, healing all of the Corrupted Gems. Afterward, Steven waves goodbye to them, to which Yellow's arm on the Diamond Mech signals a peace sign, and they all go back to Homeworld, leaving Pink's Ship behind.
