White Diamond

**White Diamond** is an enigmatic Homeworld Gem and member of the Great Diamond Authority. Her mural depicts her owning the most colonies compared to the other Diamonds at the time the Moon Base was constructed. She made her debut in "Legs From Here to Homeworld".

## Appearance

Depicted by her mural on the Moon Base and the silhouette of the Great Diamond Authority symbol in "Your Mother and Mine", she is shown to have spiky hair in a shape similar to a star pentagon , is white in color, and her gemstone is embedded in her forehead. In the same episode, she was also shown to have fingers that could morph into having a pointy tip. Compared to the other Diamonds, she is the tallest. Attire-wise, the aforementioned mural and silhouette also showcases her wearing large pointy shoulder pads and a type of cape that seems to cover her whole body. Like the other Diamonds, she has diamond-shaped pupils, but hers are white instead of black, and she has large, full, black eyelashes.

## Abilities

White Diamond possesses standard Gem abilities, but since she is a Diamond, her abilities are expected to be much greater than that of other Gems.

### Unique Abilities

* **Aura Projection**: The Diamonds can project an aura around them that they can control, they can either radiate it from their entire bodies or emit it from specific parts of their bodies, usually their hands. Not much has been shown of White nor her aura, but during the Diamonds' final attack against the Crystal Gems, White's aura was shown around her hand as a solid white corona-like flare around it.
	+ **Corruption Induction**: Though the attack was meant to destroy the Crystal Gems, it corrupted every single remaining Gem on Earth.
