## History

Bumblebee Jasper, a loyal Quartz soldier, served as the unwavering bodyguard to the elite Aerial soldier, Amber, under the command of Yellow Diamond. Despite Bumblebee's attempts to form a genuine friendship with her superior, Amber viewed her solely as a means of protection, dismissing any possibility of a deeper connection. Bumblebee fought alongside Homeworld during the rebellion, but her heart was never fully committed to the cause as Amber continually basked in all the glory.

Everything changed when Bumblebee made a life-altering decision to rebel against Homeworld's oppressive regime. It was during this time that she crossed paths with Rose Quartz, a charismatic leader who offered her the promise of independence and the chance to fight for herself rather than for someone else. Intrigued by the concept of autonomy and self-determination, Bumblebee decided to join Rose Quartz's cause, embracing the rebellion with newfound purpose.

With her fierce loyalty and combat skills, Bumblebee became an invaluable asset to the Crystal Gems. She fought alongside her newfound allies, determined to dismantle the oppressive system that she had once served. No longer confined to the shadow of Amber, Bumblebee embraced her individuality and fought with a newfound passion, fueled by the desire for freedom and justice. She learned the true meaning of camaraderie and found a sense of purpose that she had longed for in her previous service under Amber

Bumblebee Jasper fought valiantly in the final battle against Homeworld until its fateful end, when the Diamonds unleashed the devastating Corrupting Light. Tragically, Bumblebee was caught in the blast and exposed to the overwhelming power of the light. Unable to escape its destructive force, she became corrupted.
