Jasper is a jasper type-gem that first appears in ''The Return'' facing the other gems to bring them to the Diamonds

later when she flees she really wants to kill Steven beacuse she belives Steven is Rose Quartz and Jasper knows that Rose shatterd Pink Diamond but she tries fusing with Ocean Jasper(at that time corrupted) to be stronger against Smoky Quartz she fuses into Zebra Jasper(fusion) but she gets herself corrupted and we don't see her till the last part of ''Change you're Mind'' when she gets uncorupted but in Steven universe Future she goes into the forest and lives alone until Steven comes and argues wich becomes into a fight where she loses against Steven when he becomes Pink Steven

## Appearence:

### Uncorrupted

Jasper has tangerine skin with reddish-orange markings on her face and arms. She has amber eyes and plump lips. Her gemstone is located where a normal nose would be. She has thick, beige-white-colored flowing hair. Physique-wise, she is the archetype Quartz Gem soldier; she has a muscular body and stands both taller and wider than Garnet, an indication of her immense strength and durability.

### Pre-regeneration (Debut)

She wore a sleeveless bodysuit, similar to Peridot's, with a dark mahogany V-neck collar and a yellow diamond in the center. The torso of the bodysuit is maroon, and the legs are dark mahogany. She wore red boots with dark red toe caps.

### Corrupted Edit

After her corruption, she became similar in body type to the Snow Monster and Biggs, gaining teal striped spikes across her body, losing her eyes, and gaining two ram-like horns on the sides of her head and two smaller horns erupting from her eye sockets. Spikes protrude from multiple areas of her body, and she appears to have beige-colored mane/tuft of hair growing around her neck. Blotches of teal and orange make up her skin, and her teeth became sharp and orange.

### Post-regeneration

After getting healed from her corruption by Steven and the Diamonds in "Change Your Mind", she still wears a sleeveless bodysuit, however, the torso now has a different design. She now wears a brown-orange square neck tank top and between is a pale orange triangle with a brown-orange keyhole shape, which contains a small pale orange triangle through it. She also keeps the horns and two teal-colored markings from her corruption, one where her left shoulder and bicep connect and the other covering the thumb, index and middle fingers of her right hand.

### Post-shattering (Current)

After being shattered and then put back together by Steven and the Diamond's essence, her form has extra scarring. Her left horn is sliced in half, revealing a lime-green inside, the red band on her face has a split under her right eye. The colors of the top half of her bodysuit have been inverted and is now a v-neck similar to her first outfit, and the knees are ripped. The triangle that was present is also gone.

## Personality:

Jasper is ruthless and headstrong, as well as a brutal combatant. As a high-ranking Gem soldier and veteran of The Rebellion, Jasper is very authoritative and militaristic which directly affected her former subordinates, Peridot and Lapis Lazuli. She does not care about them, does not bother to heed their warnings or concerns, and will not hesitate to browbeat them into submission if they complain or disagree with her. The prejudice that Jasper exercises based on combat experience leads her to look down upon beings that appear weaker to her.

Her attitude towards those whom she considers having proven themselves in battle, however, is a much more positive and respectful one. When she first arrives on Earth, she quickly dismisses Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl as weaklings not worth her time. She did, however, express disappointment after finding out that Rose Quartz was not present because she wants to face her in battle, as she respects her as the military commander of the Crystal Gems. Likewise, this causes her to be confused and frustrated as to why Rose apparently shapeshifted into a human boy to fight.

Jasper will also act hypocritically and against Homeworld's standards if it means securing her victory and staying on top. An example of this is when Jasper fuses with Lapis Lazuli into Malachite in order to defeat the Crystal Gems, an action that is considered taboo on Homeworld.

The reasoning for Jasper's aggressive personality and hypocritical actions is because of her origins on Earth - the failed Gem colony planet. Because Earth is regarded as a failure on Homeworld, Jasper has developed self-image issues, believing that she might be a failure herself due to being made on Earth. In order to prove to herself that she isn't a failure, Jasper will insult others and constantly have the desire to prove her superiority to others in order to keep her ego intact. Jasper has to make sure that she always comes out on top so her thoughts of being a failure don't consume her, and if she has to break rules to win, she will. As shown in "Crack the Whip", Jasper talks down to Amethyst while brutally beating her up to show herself how powerful she is. After facing constant defeat at the hands of the Crystal Gems, Jasper becomes desperate and even captures Corrupted Gems in order to ensure her victory. Jasper even fuses with one and becomes corrupted herself. Once Jasper is semi-corrupted, the thoughts of being a failure and the rage she feels for Rose Quartz causes her to ultimately take on a monstrous form. As seen in "Chille Tid", if Jasper can't come out on top, she becomes enraged and driven to an almost insane state. Rebecca Sugar explains in the podcast that it comes from her origins by being made in the Beta Kindergarten, which is considered a failure on the Earth colony, making Jasper wanting to prove her worth because everyone around her knows she's from Earth's Beta Kindergarten and therefore that she must be flawed on some level, and she feels she can never escape being associated with Rose Quartz even though they were both from different sides, Ian Jones states that she feels she's fundamentally wrong and that she doesn't deserve the reputation she has as an example of how the system on Homeworld can fail Gems who don't quite fit the mold; she is a model Gem, but she never internally feels she deserves her reputation.

Jasper also holds a vendetta against Rose Quartz for being the one to shatter Pink Diamond and holds absolutely no respect for the Crystal Gems. The only reason Jasper returned to Earth wasn't to escort Peridot like she was supposed to but to destroy Rose and the remnants of her army.

Even after being healed, Jasper's personality is untouched. Though she finally sees Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond and Steven as separate entities, she's still rebellious towards him, and still refuses any help he offers her. Though, currently, she is opening up more to Steven after she lost to a fight against him, which is represented as she says that he can do what he wants after he asked if he could visit her sometime. It is unknown if she will try to open up to the other Gems.

With no Diamond to serve and nowhere to go, all Jasper has left is to train. She channels all of her power and her anger into her training, believing it is not something that should be hidden or locked away. When conversing with Steven, she tells him not to be afraid of his power as he and the other Gems are, saying he should embrace his power and prove he is strong. Jasper only acknowledges the strength of others, as seen when she finally respects Steven after shattering her and bows before him.

After being accidentally shattered by Steven and subsequently revived, Jasper acknowledges his incredible power and pledges her loyalty to him, calling Steven her Diamond, and defending him in "Homeworld Bound" when Pearl angrily asks him where he had been during the events of the episode "Fragments". With someone else to serve, she quickly follows Steven and is pleased to see him reject his friends, the people Jasper views as weak. At the same time, she is visibly affected when Steven rejects her support as well, believing that she can no longer help him either and telling her to find something better to do with her life. Jasper watches with a sad face as Steven leaves home, and her current mindset after this is unknown.

"The Future" shows Jasper living in Little Homeworld as she busts through walls to confront Steven for not taking her with him, and bids him goodbye as she breaks through another wall.

## Abilities:

All Era-1 Gems have various powers, including the ability to invoke a weapon, change shape, and strength, agility, speed, and skill beyond human capabilities. Jasper can also take refuge in her gemstone after being wounded to heal. She is also capable of fusion, as shown when she fuses with Lapis Lazuli to form Malachite and later a Corrupted Gem to form a centaur-like monstrosity.

Being a Quartz Gem, her creation was to fit the role of a soldier within Gem culture. According to Peridot (a certified Kindergartener skilled enough to identify the type of Gem that emerged from a particular exit hole with a glance), Jasper is the 'ultimate' Quartz, made completely perfect, implying she is a superior specimen even among her own kind. She is considered the greatest Quartz produced on Earth. As such, she has incredible amounts of physical strength and stamina, making her one of the most physically imposing Gems seen thus far. She is also strong of will, as it takes all of Lapis's concentration to subdue Jasper. Jasper's strength is further emphasized in "Alone at Sea" when she climbs up the anchor chain on the side of the ship, making the entire ship shake and creating a loud thumping sound. This happens once more when Jasper steps onto the ship.

Jasper is also one of the most durable Gems ever shown in the series, being capable of withstanding the point-blank explosion of a Gem Warship's reactor, the following crash and explosion of the entire ship unprotected, being hit with enough force to send her flying over the horizon, and being struck with enough force by Rose Quartz's Sword (which has the power to easily destroy a Gems' physical body) to be driven through a Corrupted Gem (poofing it in the process), all without poofing once. It takes Peridot driving a piece of scrap metal clear through her chest and out her back to finally poof her, and even then that was only after she had been corrupted. After turning back to normal, she is defeated when Steven, glowing pink, locks her up with his shields, then crush her using a massive wall with spikes added on in.
