SU/Pink Diamond

* Normal
* Shaded

## Media

**"Pink Diamond"** is the youngest and lowest ranking member of The Great Diamond Authority, and the original identity of Rose Quartz, the leader of the gem rebellion.

## Personality

Pink Diamond was cute and bubbly, showing love for organic life and excitement over the smallest of things. She's very childish and has shown to throw temper tantrums when irritated. She's also very nearsighted and doesn't think of all the consequences that follow her actions, or how she can hurt others. She has shown trouble relating to others.

## Appearence

Although she's the shortest of the Diamonds, Pink still towers over most other gems. She has a tall and slender build, pink skin as well as large, fluffy, curly peach hair, of which the silhouette resembles a five-petaled flower. It also resembles Steven's hair. Her eyes are magenta with diamond-shaped pupils, the same color as the lipstick she wears.

Her clothing consists of a rose-and-burgundy top with a pentagon-shaped opening in her midriff to reveal her gem, with puffy pink sleeves/shoulder pads with white details. She wore a pink-and-white skirt that's open in the front, over her large poofy hot-pink shorts. She also wears white stockings as well as pink slippers with white pom poms floating over them.

Unlike the other Diamonds, she isn't typically animated with shading, except for a few occasions.

## Abilities

Even as the least powerful of the Diamonds, Pink is still one of the most powerful gems there is, as such she has a very expansive powerset, along with having all the typical gem abilities. The listed abilities may have been shown by Rose Quartz, Pink Diamond's alter ego, or Steven, Pink Diamond's son.

### Diamond Powers

These abilities are powers that every Diamond has in some way, and can be judged to be powers linked to the "Diamond" gem type.

* **Enhanced Strength**: Diamonds are much stronger than other gems, even when considering their massive statures. an example of this is when Yellow Diamond easily poofs the Defending Zircon with her index finger.
* **Enhanced Reflexes/Speed**: Diamonds are much faster than other gems- sometimes to the point where it can appear as if time has stopped. Yellow Diamond can be seen running quickly in "Change Your Mind", and Steven can be seen using this power to its full extent throughout *Steven Universe Future*.
* **Enhanced Durability**: Diamonds are incredibly durable compared to other gems, to the point where Blue Diamond can withstand having an entire barn thrown on her and then having her own ship falling on her without poofing.
* **Floating/Speed of Descent Regulation**: Diamonds are able to regulate the speed of their descent, appearing as though they're floating. Due to Diamonds typically being enormous, this ability is rarely used by most of them, however, Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz/Steven Universe can be seen using it various times due to their smaller statures.
* **Gemstone Creation**: Diamonds are capable of turning dirt into crystals by blowing on them and compressing them. This can be seen when Pink Diamond creates the dummy shards when she fakes her own shattering.
* **Diamond Aura**: All Diamonds have a unique aura, which they project their abilities onto. Pink Diamond herself hasn't been seen using it, however, Steven can be seen using it various times throughout *Steven Universe Future*, appearing as a pink glow to his skin. In the episode "Reunited" a more intense form of his aura is seen as a thick, pink outline outside his body, and then circular when projected towards others.
	+ **Corruption**: When a Diamond projects feelings of hatred through their aura, they can corrupt a gem. White, Yellow, and Blue used this power together to corrupt all gems on Earth, and Steven used this power to corrupt himself.
* **Diamond Essence**: All Diamonds have a mystical essence that is a key component in gem creation. This essence can be extracted through tears, sweat, spit, or through bathing. All four essences combined are the cure for gem corruption.
	+ **Healing**: Pink Diamond's essence has the special ability to heal cracked gems, organic creatures' injuries, and on occasion, it can heal broken objects. However, Pink Diamond only learned of this quality as Rose Quartz, using her tears to heal Crystal Gems and resurrect Lion.

### Soul Powers

The Diamonds all have abilities that, while drastically different, appear to follow a pattern: Being themed around [Mind/Body/Heart/Soul], with one power being imposed, one receptive, and one elemental. Pink Diamond's powers are themed around "Soul", which primarily represents life and spirit, impulse and instinct.

* **Soul Imposive Ability - Psychic Ghost Powers**: Pink Diamond has the ability to project her mind outside of her body, this can be simply through an astral dimension where she can impose her thoughts onto others, or by imposing her soul into someone else's body, possessing them. This has primarily been shown through Steven possessing Lars Barriga as well as two Watermelon Stevens, as well as when Steven encourages his friends and gets through to the Diamonds through the mindscape in the episode "Reunited". However, there is evidence that implies Pink Diamond has been permanently stuck in the mindscape after giving birth to Steven and has interacted with him through Lion, two Watermelon Dogs, and Shy Rose.
	+ This ability has also shown to appear through **Electrical Interference**, such as when Rose Quartz interrupted Greg's radio in "We Need to Talk", when Steven caused Greg's TV into showing static in "Maximum Capacity", or when Steven broadcast his dreams to his own TV in the episode "In Dreams". This appears to be activated through shock and/or stress.
* **Soul Receptive Ability - Empathic Telepathy**: Pink Diamond has the ability to meld other people's subconscious with her own, and quite literally feel others' emotions. This is primarily shown through Steven in "Chille Tid", "Gem Drill" and "Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service", however, it is possible that Steven's dreams/visions of Pink's life are also related to this power.
* **Soul Induced Elemental Manipulation - Plant Minions**: Pink Diamond has the power to imbue plants with sentience, making them act as minions of sorts. In "Watermelon Steven" it is revealed that she, as Rose Quartz, used this power to create soldiers to fight in the rebellion, with the implication that this is where the giant strawberries in the Strawberry Battlefield come from.

### Enhanced Gem Weapon

Like most gems, Pink Diamond has a gem weapon that she can summon from her gemstone, however, being a diamond, she has various additional powers that are extensions of her weapon.

* **Shield Proficiency**: Pink Diamond's gem weapon is a circular shield with a rose-thorn pattern on the front. She can summon her shield in any size, and while it can be used as a frisbee weapon, she was only seen using it as Rose Quartz alongside her sword, in a protective manner.
	+ **Protective Bubble**: Pink Diamond can encase herself and nearby entities inside a translucent pink bubble. This bubble is immensely strong, can be extended to grab outside entities or throw out inside entities, and can be generated in smaller sizes around her hands or legs.
		- **Spiked Bubble**: Pink Diamond can create a version of her bubble-shield that is covered in spikes on the outside, providing defense as well as protection. She can also transform her regular bubble into a spiked bubble.
			* **Geometric Force-field Spikes**: In "Steven Universe the Movie", Steven is briefly shown transforming his spiked bubble into a jagged and spikey force-field, than he can then alter into various sharp geometric shapes that meet on his gem placement, he then condenses this shape into a geometric forcefield (similar to a dodecahedron) and then extend it into a small, quick blast and promptly disappears. Besides a small knockback advantage, it's hard to tell what use this ability has, especially due to its very small amount of screentime, but it can be assumed that Pink Diamond would also have this ability.
	+ **Barrier**:
		- **Barrier Wall**:
			* **Spiked Barrier Wall**:

### Fusions

Like any other gem, Pink Diamond is able to fuse with other gems. Following is a list of the known fusions that include her:

* When fused with Pearl, they form Rainbow Quartz
* When fused with Pearl, Amethyst and Garnet, they presumably form Obsidian.

## Trivia

* Considering that The Diamonds are based off the 4 humours and Freud's personality theory (1923), Pink Diamond would represent the sanguine temperament as well as the Id.
