In Steven Universe Future, Amethyst runs the Gem Human Excellence Mentorship (GHEM) as an educator in Little Homeworld and remains Steven's friend, even as he tries to deal with his trauma. During the fourth season, she meets the other Amethyst soldiers who were created alongside her, and their support and affection for her become a source of emotional validation.
AMETHYST STEVEN UNIVERSE SERIES
As the series moves forward, she becomes more self-confident. Her character arc centers on coming to accept the burden of responsibility and overcoming her poor self-image arising from her smaller stature and "defective" creation. She also was Greg's friend, but after Rose left, she blamed him, messed with him, and ended up ruining the friendship between them. Michaela Dietz has spoken about how her experience as an adoptee informs her performance of Amethyst in this respect. However, she was created smaller and weaker than other Amethysts, and emerged long after the others had departed, leaving her isolated for many years before being taken in by Rose Quartz. She was created on Earth to be one of many Amethyst soldiers in the Gem empire's army. Unlike Pearl and Garnet, who were allies of Steven's mother Rose Quartz in the ancient Gem war, Amethyst joined the Crystal Gems after the war ended. Although most Gems possess the ability to shapeshift, Amethyst uses it to her advantage the most, especially when pulling pranks. From the gemstone in her chest, she can summon a purple whip. She often encourages Steven to enjoy himself and is the only Gem to engage in eating for fun, as Gems do not require food to survive. She is more hedonistic and carefree than the other Gems, and behaves as more of an older sister figure to Steven. She is one of the three Crystal Gems (with Pearl and Garnet), who, along with the titular Steven Universe, form the main characters of the series.

As such, she is shown with "loose and wild" drums, while Amethyst was represented in the show's music as an "eclectic drum kit, with electric bass and some.synths" and that when she fused with Pearl becoming Opal, both characters are "distinguishable in the music." Reviewer Caroline Framke also described Amethyst's drums as "spastic." Character In a January 2016 interview with the show's composers, Aivi Tran and Steven “Surrashu” Velema, the latter who did music for Amethyst, it was noted that the instruments she plays are a representation of her personality, like other Gems in the series. Sugar said, in a 2014 AmA that Amethyst's room in the Crystal Temple is closest to her "actual lifestyle." In the same AmA, Sugar also stated that Amethyst's dance style is "freeform," a mix of club dancing and dancehall styles, saying the show's crew is "pretty loose with it" and that Amethyst does "whatever feels right." In August 2014 interview, she noted that Amethyst was her "first experience voicing a cartoon character" and said that she was "having such a blast" voicing Amethyst. In a July 2014 interview, Dietz said she was excited to have a panel on the show, to see "the fans of the show and hear their thoughts," and praised the show's cast and crew. Because of the characters' personalities, Amethyst's Gem is a sphere, while Garnet's Gem is square, and Pearl's Gem is a cone, with all of these designs also inspired by Bauhaus Theory.

Krabs could recognize and understand it, lol.Amethyst's look was redesigned between the pilot episode of Steven Universe and the first regular episode. The irony there was so extreme that even Mr. In trying to be "loyal" to Homeworld by completing her mission to capture the rebels at all costs, she ended up being disloyal by disregarding Homeworld's laws and committing one of the caste-system's biggest taboos. And YET, as soon as she proved unable to conclusively defeat the different-Gem-type fusion Garnet and then was outnumbered by the CG's and about to get her ass kicked, Jasper was like "oh hey, you Lapis Lazuli over there who obviously isn't a Quartz like me, we should fuse to beat these rebels!"ĭespite her supposed "loyalty," Jasper's feelings of pride as a warrior and her inability to accept the idea of losing caused her to disregard Homeworld's laws within just a couple episodes after she first appeared in the series, which in terms of in-show time was only hours after she first showed up. Remember that in the Era 1 and Era 2 laws and caste-system, fusion by different Gem-types was expressly forbidden no matter the circumstances! That's why Jasper showed so much disdain and disgust towards the very concept of Garnet's existence. Jasper didn't even remain truly loyal to Homeworld.
