Pink Diamond

**Pink Diamond** was a Homeworld Gem and a member of the Great Diamond Authority that continues to rule over the Gem race in her absence. She was first mentioned in "Earthlings" and pictured in " to the Moon Back to the Moon". Her debut appearance was in the episode " Moon Jungle Moon".

## Appearance

Her first physical appearance was in "Jungle Moon", shown as wearing a magenta-pink cropped shirt with puffy pink shoulder pads, pink gloves, and a skirt. She has short, fluffy pale pink hair, and pink eyes with diamond-shaped pupils. Her mural in the Moon Base shows that her gemstone is located on her navel, and she is shown to have large, jagged hair.

Her physical form was also not as tall as Blue or Yellow Diamond but around Stevonnie's height when she punched the mirror (hinting that Pink was possibly a defective Gem).

## Personality

Pink Diamond appears to act like a child that doesn't get enough attention. She expresses herself loudly to make the others feel like she belongs and she appears to be bubbly and overly friendly. She also seems to be short-tempered, like a teenager, as she throws a tantrum and angrily punching the window of Yellow Diamond's moon base after being told to act like she is important.

## Gemology

Gemstone Information

* Pink diamonds are caused by deformation in the lattice of carbon atoms, where isolated planes of carbon atoms were pressed together early in the diamond's formation and remained that way. These planes mirror the normal atom lattice, and are referred to as 'mechanical twinning'. Pure diamonds are transparent and colourless.
	+ Recent studies show nitrogen atoms and vacancies in the lattice may also be involved in the colouration of pink diamonds.
		- Pink diamonds are the rarest diamond colour after red.
