Topaz

**Topaz** is the secondary antagonist of the one-hour special, "Wanted!". She is a Homeworld Gem and the fusion of two Topazes, who was sent to Earth with Aquamarine to retrieve humans for Yellow Diamond to take to Pink Diamond's Zoo. As of the start of Era 3 Topaz now happily resides on Earth.

## Personality

Topaz is silent and aloof, possibly symbolized by her gems covering her ears. She is an obedient soldier, clearly respecting the Gem hierarchy. She obeys all of Aquamarine's orders instantly, wordlessly, and without question (despite being insulted by her constantly). She is described by Rebecca Sugar to be "particularly powerful." She is also originally seen as somewhat ruthless towards humans, almost going through with following Aquamarine's orders to kill Jamie to get the Crystal Gems to tell them where "My Dad" was. She is also not above fighting dirty, using Steven's friends to protect herself from Garnet's attacks.

However, Topaz shows an emotional side of herself, starting to cry after hearing Steven and Lars' conversation. She speaks to the humans for the first time, revealing that (while she appears fine with her role) she is unhappy with how she is treated. However, while originally willing to defy Aquamarine (and, by extension, the Diamonds), she changes her mind after being reminded that her components would be separated and shattered for rebelling.

## History

Topaz has been serving Homeworld for an unspecified amount of time, going on missions that always have someone between them. Topaz was sent to Earth with Aquamarine personally by Yellow Diamond to retrieve specific "variations" of humans for Pink Diamond's Zoo. These specific humans are the ones mentioned by Steven in his first interaction with Peridot in "Marble Madness".

### Wanted!

Topaz and Aquamarine are first seen chasing down Onion at Beach City Funland during the middle of the night. Once Doug Maheswaran, Steven, and Connie leave the scene, Topaz and Aquamarine approach Onion and capture him. Later, Topaz and Aquamarine capture Lars while he is running away from the Cool Kids' party. After the party, the duo captures Sadie while she is walking home.

Topaz and Aquamarine capture Jamie when he is out delivering Steven's khakis. Later in a forest, Aquamarine calls out for Topaz when she finds Connie. Topaz approaches, making the ground shake with each step that she takes, and is shown to have each missing human inside of her body. Topaz unfuses, her components hold hands and charge at Connie and re-fuse, engulfing her in the fusion and making her part of the body with the other humans. After incapacitating Steven, Topaz and Aquamarine then leave the forest to find the last human, "My Dad".

Topaz and Aquamarine hide at Funland where Steven and the Crystal Gems find them. At some point, the Crystal Gems begin attacking the duo, but Topaz is easily able to fend off Garnet and Amethyst on her own. When Aquamarine gets annoyed by the fight and threatens to kill the humans if they do not tell her where "My Dad" is, Topaz grabs Jamie's head to emphasize the threat. Once Steven claims to be "My Dad", Topaz unfuses. The two topazes engulf Steven when they re-fuse.

On Aquamarine's ship, Steven causes Topaz to unfuse by forming a bubble from within her, freeing all of the humans in the process. Following Aquamarine's orders, the two individual Topazes summon their maces and attempt to recapture the humans. One Topaz has difficulty attacking Steven and Connie due to Steven's bubble and shield and is shown to be on par with Connie's sword fighting. Another Topaz picks up Sadie but lets her go when Sadie bites one of her fingers. The Topazes fuse again at some point but are still unable to recapture the humans. When Steven later gives himself up, Aquamarine, Steven, Topaz, and Lars fly to Homeworld.

While on Aquamarine's Ship, one Topaz holds Steven while the other finds Lars hiding on the ship's staircase. They fuse, containing Steven and Lars in their fusion's form, so they can fly the ship to Homeworld. At some point, the ship's engine fails, so Topaz walks down to the ship's engine room to repair it. While repairing it, Topaz listens to Lars and Steven's conversation and is deeply touched by how, even though they are in serious trouble, they find comfort in each other. Topaz begins to cry, explaining how she has to pretend to be okay with her job, secretly hating it, as someone always comes between her component Topazes.

Topaz then elects to help Lars and Steven, and they ask for them to contribute to escape the ship. She activates the escape pod but is stopped by Aquamarine. Topaz, with the support of Steven, tries to explain what they were doing, but Aquamarine destroys the escape pod. After being threatened by Aquamarine, Topaz grabs one of the Gem Destabilizer weapons and pins Aquamarine to the engine. Aquamarine explains how Topaz will be "rewarded" for her actions by being separated and shattered for rebelling, bringing Topaz back to her senses. She releases Aquamarine, and they all agree to never talk about this incident again. Once they reach Homeworld, Topaz unfuses and her components take Steven and Lars to different places.
