## Appearance

Jasper has light-tangerine skin with darker orange markings on her face, arms, and chest. Her gem is where her nose should be. She has thick, tangerine-tinted, white flowing hair. She also has a muscular body and stands taller than Garnet, an indication of her immense strength and durability. She wears a pale-red tank-top with a mahogany V-neck collar that connects to form a yellow diamond emblem, mahogany leggings, and dark-red boots with brown tips. This is similar to Peridot's clothing, suggesting that this is the uniform for anyone under the command of Yellow Diamond.

## Personality

Jasper is very ruthless and headstrong, as well as an aggressive combatant. Assumed to be a high-ranking Gemwarrior and veteran of The Rebellion, Jasper is very authoritative and militaristic; something that directly affects her subordinates, Peridot and Lapis Lazuli. She doesn't care about them, doesn't bother to heed their warnings or concerns, and will not hesitate to browbeat them into submission if they complain or disagree with her. The importance she puts on one's own battle prowess also leads her to look down upon any of whom she considers to be a weakling. She despises the act of fusion specifically, as seen when she announced, "*Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak Gems stronger!*".

Her attitude towards those whom she considers to have proven themselves in battle, however, is a much more positive and respectful one. When she first arrived on Earth, she quickly dismissed Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl as weaklings not worth her time. She did, however, express disappointment when she found out that Rose Quartz wasn't present because she wanted to face her in battle, as she respected her as the military commander of the war. Likewise, this caused her to be confused and frustrated as to why Rose had apparently shape-shifted into a "weak human boy" to fight her.

As strong as her personal convictions are, they are not unbreakable; the prospect of a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Crystal Gems proved to be too much for her. In a last desperate attempt to seize victory, she coerced Lapis Lazuli to fuse with her to form Malachite, apparently disregarding her previous opinion onfusion.

In "Chille Tid", Jasper was shown to be more angry and hateful than before, revealing she is persistent in being freed from Malachite, while becoming more unstable.

## Abilities

Jasper possesses standard Gem abilities, including weapon-summoning, shape-shifting, bubbling, regeneration, fusion, agelessness, and superhuman durability.

She has incredible amounts of physical strength and stamina, making her the most physically imposing Gem seen thus far. She is mentally powerful, as it is taking all of Lapis's concentration to subdue Jasper.

### Fusions

When fused with:

* Lapis Lazuli, they form Malachite.

### Skillset

* **Crash Helmet Proficiency:** By gathering her resolve and thirst for battle, Jasper is able to summon her weapon; a tangerine, crystalline helmet. The helmet acts both as a weapon and armor; a hammer-like protrusion in the front of the helmet allows her to use it to charge, slam, and head-butt her opponent, while a clear orange tinted visor extends down, covering the upper part of her face. The strength of the helmet rivals that of Garnet's gauntlets, as Jasper was shown continuously countering her attacks.
* **Martial Arts:** Further reflecting the similarities between herself andAmethyst, Jasper is likewise prone to mixing up her weapon-based attacks with martial arts moves, such as grappling, throwing, or simply punching her opponent. Due to the nature of her weapon, the two styles mix seamlessly and combines into a powerful, but ultimately reckless fighting style with immense collateral damage.
	+ **Head-butts:** Jasper is shown to be able to head-butt without her weapon. This version, although weaker without her crash-helmet, still has the potential to knock out a human being.

### Unique Abilities

* **Comet Charge:** Jasper can lunge at her foes with alarming speed and power, as evidenced by the attack breaking through layers of hard gemstone. While she performs this attack, a fiery aura is formed around her.
* **Spin Dash:** Jasper can rapidly roll in a ball-like shape to attack enemies. While Amethyst was shown to have this ability as well, it seems that Jasper's version is more powerful, as shown in "Jailbreak", Jasper can use it in the air with her spin dash but Amethyst can't.

### Weaponry

* **Gem Destabilizer:** Homeworld Gems, in addition to their summon-able weapon, seem to carry a personal defense weapon known as Gem Destabilizers — extremely potent, "non-lethal" tools used to subdue enemy Gems. Jasper is seen using this weapon on Garnet in "The Return".
