**Kimberly Brooks**

**Jasper** is a Homeworld Gem, and an original character that appears in *Steven Universe*.

 Appearance

Jasper has an appearance similar to that of other Jaspers, as she is tall and bulky with patterned skin. Her skin is mostly orange with some red-orange markings, and depending on her regeneration she may have light aqua and teal markings and horns as well. She also has two yellow-orange eyes with black pupils, no nose (with her gemstone acting as a nose), and defined lips. Her hair is very light orange and is thick and messy. Her gemstone is where her nose would be and is orange and yellow-orange in color.

### Pre-regeneration (debut)

She wore a standard Homeworld uniform that’s tinted dull red with a Yellow Diamond insignia on her chest.

### Post-regeneration (previous)

She now has light aqua and teal splotches and horns, and wore a light beige and dull reddish-brown tank top with dark brown leggings and light beige and dull reddish-brown boots.

### Current Regeneration

She now has a sliced horn and slightly different markings, and wears a light beige and reddish-brown tank top with dark brown leggings and dark red boots.

 Personality

Jasper is very ruthless and headstrong, as well as an aggressive combatant. Assumed to be a high-ranking Gem warrior and veteran of the Gem War, 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!". Even after Garnet defeated her and crashed the Gem Warship, she didn't consider it a loss, because she believed Garnet only beat her because she was a fusion.

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.

Jasper can be hypocritical; the prospect of a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Crystal Gems repulsed her so much that in a last desperate attempt to seize victory, she coerced Lapis Lazuli to fuse with her to form Malachite, apparently disregarding her previous opinion on fusion.

## Abilities

Jasper possesses standard Gem abilities, bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.

Being a Quartz Gem, she was created to fit the role of a warrior within Gem culture. As such 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.

* When fused with Peridot and Lapis Lauzli, they form Zultanite.
* When fused with Albite and Orthoclase, they form Peach Aventurine.

### Skillset

* **Crash Helmet Proficiency**: Jasper's summoned weapon is an orange, crystalline helmet that acts both as a weapon and armor. It has a hammer-like protrusion in the front that allows her to use it to charge, slam, and headbutt her opponent, as well as a transparent visor that covers her upper face and gemstone..
* **Martial Arts**: Further reflecting the similarities between herself and Amethyst, Jasper is likewise prone to mixing up her weapon-based attacks with martial arts moves, such as grappling, throwing, or attacking with swift yet powerful punches. Due to the nature of her weapon, the two styles mix seamlessly and combine into a powerful, but ultimately reckless fighting style with immense collateral damage. She is also skilled enough to completely outclass Amethyst.
* **Headbutting**: As the name implies, Jasper is able to headbutt strongly without her weapon. This version, although weaker without her helmet, still has the potential to knock out a human being, as seen with Steven in "The Return".
* **Piloting:** Whilst Jasper herself has never demonstrated this ability, it is implied by Doc in "Back to the Moon" that she can pilot Gem ships.

### Unique Abilities

* **Comet Charge:** Jasper can lunge at her foes with alarming speed and power. When she performs this attack, a fiery aura forms 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.
