Jasper

***Jasper*** is a tall, muscular quartz Gem. She is a Homeworld gem and works under Woundwort (reluctantly) as one of his high-ranking captains of his owsla.

## Appearance

Jasper is a tall Gem, taller than many of the Crystal Gems, but on average is in size to that of her gem type. She is orange in her skin color, with a number of dark orange stripes running along both her arms, and her face, giving a vague resemblance to that of war paint. Her hair is peach-colored, shaggy, and extends down to the base of her back. Her eyes are orange as well, with her irises shaped like a diamond. Her gemstone is also diamond-shaped, and located where her nose would be.

### Volume 01. Arrival

Her outfit is shown in the first volume to be a standard Homeworld uniform for a gem working under Blue Diamond: a dark blue jumpsuit with a blue diamond insignia at the center of her chest, with straps of blue going over her shoulders.

### Current

Jasper's outfit signifies her loyalty to both Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond, as her diamond insignia on her chest is split down the middle: the right side yellow and the left side blue. She wears a crop top with red straps along her shoulders, connecting at the center of her chest and extending downward to the bottom rim of her shirt. Her dark red pants are shown with torn kneecaps, and each foot is differently colored similarly to her diamond insignia.

## Personality

Jasper is a very hot-headed, battle-ready gem, even for the standards of her gem type: it doesn't take very much to make her angry, and she's more than ready for any fight that comes her way regardless of circumstance or potential punishments said fight would bring. It is mentioned in "Homeworld Escape" how her temperament and willingness to fight nearly got herself shattered since it kept getting her and her fellow guards in trouble, though details are left unmentioned. This fight mentality also makes her really enjoy fighting others, taking great enjoyment in watching Gems she considers less than her get hurt.

Her alignment with Homeworld is very high, being very loyal to the caste system she is a part of and unwilling to go against any major choices that the diamond authority would make, or to those that are in charge of her. This goes as far as for her to tolerate the Homeworld Hares only due to their connection to the Diamonds and nothing else, though she is often shown to detest the idea of having to take orders from any organic animal.

## History

### Volume 01. Arrival

Jasper appears alongside another guard in the Human Zoo, sent in to guard Ruby and Steven Universe by Campion. She is instructed to keep guard, and while warned by Campion that he'll tear her gemstone off if he catches her away from her post again, she hardly takes in the threat and reluctantly does as she is told. She specifically questions why Campion even cares about "Rose Quartz" but is told to follow the General's orders to keep them alive, her admitting later how "stupid" Campion was after he leaves.

During the guarding however, Jasper begins to grow more and more annoyed with Ruby's ramblings. It gets to the point that she punches the wall to shut them up, telling them that while she did say she can't kill them, she will not hesitate to beat them into the ground anyway, stating that they aren't on Earth anymore, and they're on Homeworld. The punch though brings in Holly Blue Agate and Campion, her going back in position before they arrived. As Holly Blue orders them to "poof" Steven, Jaspers starts to question why that would be needed since he went through clensing, only for Holly to slap her and make her do it anyway. She and her fellow guard went inside, and Jasper specifically holds Steven to the wall and readies to kill him, only for him to slip out of her grip. Angry, she joins the others in chasing Steven down, catching up to him near Sapphire's holding cell. However, once Envy escapes, she was sent off to get the owsla.

She is mentioned indirectly in "The Council Meeting" by Hazel: she got into a fight with Amethyst until Hazel got in her way, ending the fight.
