History Characters / StevenUniverseHomeworldGems

* PinkMeansFeminine

* GiantPoofySleeves

* TrueBlueFemininity

* NoNameGiven: Unlike the Ruby Squad, they're never given individual names and are referred to as a group. Quidd, a trading app with connections to Creator/CartoonNetwork, gives them names that presumably come from the show's model sheets.

* TheComicallySerious: One concept art shows her with a deadpan expression when staring at Rhodonite's Ruby component.

* PointyHairedBoss: Upon finding out of their willingness for fusion with one another, she attempted to rejuvenate her Ruby and her Pearl... ''seventeen times over'', but they still found love with one another each time.

* GirlyGirl

** Morganites are designers, and are high-ranking enough that at least one owns a Ruby and a Pearl.

** Morganite often comes in light pink and purple but is not a type of quartz. If the implication behind this is that she used to work under Pink Diamond, it is currently unknown how non-quartz gems were sorted out among the remaining courts once Pink was no longer part of the Diamond Authority. An alternative implication is that she works under White Diamond due to the light color of morganite or that she works under Yellow Diamond as morganite can occasionally come in yellow/orange.
** [[spoiler:Assuming she is still around in Era 3, whether she let go of her FantasticRacism ways is never revealed.]]
* BadBoss: She abandoned her Ruby and her Pearl just for being different Gems that Fused together, then presumably had them replaced rather immediately. Turns out this was after ''seventeen'' attempted rejuvenations on them.

* TheGhost: Outside of concept art, she is never seen onscreen.

* LargeAndInCharge: Averted. She's only as tall as a Ruby.

* BadBoss: She abandoned her Ruby and her Pearl just for being different Gems that Fused together, then presumably had them replaced rather immediately.

* TheGhost: She is never seen onscreen.

* BlowYouAway: Pyrope can create powerful whirlwinds with her fan.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jade_components_by_perimarine.png]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: Each is seen chiding the other, one for not taking the ball seriously and the other for getting overly emotional. That they'd risk everything just to fuse together shows they must ''very'' close regardless.

* {{Adorkable}}: Like her creator and surrogate brother, Superfan Rose is this, constantly being excited and gushing over Steven multiple times.

* {{Adorkable}}:
** Is amazed when watching Pink Diamond juggle, and appears fearful the moment Yellow Diamond enters Pink Diamond's room.
** In "Volleyball", she talks fondly about how Pink Diamond would give [[TheNicknamer names]] to everything, and the objects in the Reef cause her to become greatly nostalgic and have feelings of delight.

* HeelRaceTurn: [[spoiler:Happens to them en masse following White Diamond's own HeelFaceTurn in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E28ChangeYourMind Change Your Mind]]. While there are a decent number of Gems that dislike this disruption of the status quo, and quite a few that genuinely hate them no longer being GalacticConquerers and remain antagonists, the vast majority of Gems are quite happy to no longer be forced into upholding White Diamond's original oppressive and controlling regime.]]

* TrueBlueFeminity

* PinkMeansFeminine: Half of her past outfit is this and is very feminine.

[[caption-width-right:270:[[labelnote:Click here to see Era 1 Sigil]]\\

* RuleOfSymbolism: The diamond we see on their outfits symbolizes the creation of life. They did, in fact, create new Gems... by plundering the Earth's resources. There are also parallels that can be drawn with viruses (though Tropewise, they're PlanetLooters); they use up a planet's resources to make more of themselves and expand their empire, and they're created by Injector machines which look like a bacteriophage virus.

* TrueCompanions: Chert pulls Flint into a hug after the latter is restored and doesn't let go for the remainder of their screen time, implying them to be inseparable.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: When we finally get a look at her, we find out that, unlike the other Diamonds' Pearls, she used the colors of all four Diamonds in her appearance ''and'' her gem does not match the placement of her Diamond's.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Besides the Crystal Gem Pearl, she's the only Pearl so far who isn't shown wearing leotards. She also has uniquely narrowed eyes.

* ShoutOut: They're tiny, friendly servants with squeaky voices who live in the walls, a clear parallel to Disney/{{Cinderella}}'s mice friends. At one point they even stitch a pink dress together out of random scraps of repurposed cloth.

*** Amethysts and Carnelians are known to exist as part of the general "Quartz" caste, but their specific role is unknown. Though not shown, Tiger's Eye is another gem that is mentioned and presumably a quartz.

* OneShotCharacter: They only appear in in "Homeworld Bound", besides a very brief cameo in "The Future".
* RefittedForSequel: They were supposed to be in the original series as part of the Off Colors, but they were scrapped because they chose to defect, rather than being a "defect" for how they lived or how they emerged, and because the group was already pretty large.
* TokenGoodTeammate: If their WhatCouldHaveBeen personalities are still canon, they were presumably shattered because they refused to fight against other Gems or organics. [[invoked]]

* OneShotCharacter: They only appear in in "Homeworld Bound".

'''Blue Diamond:''' But they were hers.

* FreudianTrio: The three Rose Quartzes introduced in "[[Recap/StevenUniverseFutureS1E3RoseBuds Rose Buds]]" act as this.

* GRatedStoner: The white-haired Rose is extremely chill, and so relaxed that you'd think she was on some kind of drugs [[ImmuneToDrugs were that physically possible]]. The credits even call her "Hippie Rose".

** Morganite often comes in light pink and purple but is not a type of quartz (though there is morganique quartz). If the implication behind this is that she used to work under Pink Diamond, it is currently unknown how non-quartz gems were sorted out among the remaining courts once Pink was no longer part of the Diamond Authority. An alternative implication is that she works under White Diamond due to the light color of morganite or that she works under Yellow Diamond as morganite can occasionally come in yellow/orange.

* FantasticRacism: Just like many others on Homeworld, she looks down on different Gems Fusing together, which led her to kick Ruby and Pearl (or rather, Rhodonite) out of her ranks.
* TheGhost: We have yet to see her onscreen.
* IronicName: Morganite is said to counter stress and promotes love, trust, self-esteem, and joy. Her firing a Ruby and a Pearl for Fusing with each other is likely a huge source of Rhodonite's paranoia and NervousWreck tendencies.

* HeroicBystander: They spontaneously step out of a crowd to fuse and show support for the Crystal Gems. [[DoomedMoralVictor This doesn't accomplish much]] ([[YankTheDogsChain Yellow Diamond poofs her seconds later]]), but it's still amazingly brave.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They're poofed with the Crystal Gems, but their gems were not kept in the same bubble the Crystal Gems were rescued from.
** [[spoiler:Lemon Jade - their fused form - is seen in the distance in "Homeworld Bound", confirming that they're alive and well.]]

A dark purple Pearl who is now working as a tour guide in Homeworld.

* MsExposition: Fitting for her role as a tour guide. She's lecturing other Gems about Homeworld's history and current state.

* PrimAndProperBun: Oddly enough, it resembles a turban.

Two Quartzes that were shattered some time ago and are now put back together by Yellow Diamond.

* BackFromTheDead: Courtesy of Yellow Diamond.
* DevelopmentGag: They were supposed to be part of the Off-Colors, but were scrapped because of how they chose to act, rather than being a permafusion or made with a defect. Now they found their way back into the series.
* {{Foil}}: Chert is an orange Quartz with the gemstone on her nose, while Flint is a darker Quartz with the gemstone on her chest. They look like Jasper and Amethyst respectively, but judging from Chert's reaction, they have the exact opposite kind of relationship. Adding onto that, Chert is voiced by Michaela Dietz, who is Amethyst's voice actress, Flint is voiced by Kimberly Brooks, who is Jasper's voice actress. Plus, Chert is short and chubby like Amethyst, whereas Flint is tall and muscular like Jasper.
* LanternJawOfJustice: Flint is notably designed with more chiseled facial features, and considering how she was shattered for rebelling against Homeworld's backwards rules, it's safe to say that she isn't a bad person.

* TrueCompanions: Judging by them immediately hugging each other after Flint was restored, they seem to be inseparable.

[[folder:Lonely Pearl]]
!!Lonely Pearl
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lonelypearl.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:[[labelnote:Click here to see her Corrupted form]]\\
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lonelypearlcorrupted.png[[/labelnote]]]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Deedee Magno-Hall

A [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin lonely Pearl]] who appears in the app game ''VideoGame/ThePhantomFable'' and resides in the titular book. She was abandoned by her master and is fought in the Pearl section of the game.

* AmbiguousSituation: Whether or not Lonely Pearl actually existed is never really specified, considering how [[spoiler:the end of the game reveals that the entire game [[AllJustADream was just a story]]]].
* AnimalMotifs: Moths. She was left alone in the library with only moths for company. And her corrupted form was a giant moth.
* BlindingBangs: Like Blue Pearl, her eyes are covered by her bangs.
* TheEeyore: She's depressed, due to feeling abandoned.
* {{Foil}}: Lonely Pearl was abandoned by her master and was incapable of moving on from that. Pearl, on the other hand, was abandoned by Rose, but was able to move on with the help of her friends.
* OneWingedAngel: She turns into a giant moth to fight Steven, Connie, and Pearl.

[[folder:Demantoid and Pyrope]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/demantoid_and_pyrope.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Demantoid (left) and Pyrope (right)]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MelissaFahn (Demantoid), Creator/KariWahlgren (Pyrope)

Two different kinds of Garnet that are the main antagonists of ''VideoGame/UnleashTheLight''.

* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Pyrope is the Beauty and Demantoid is the Brains to Hessonite's Brawn. It's even referenced in their gem placements.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Of ''Unleash the Light''.
* BlowYouAway: Pyrope can create powerful whirlwinds with her fan.
* ChekhovsGunman: Their Gem types were both mentioned in "Together Alone" as types of Garnet almost a year before appearing in the game.
* CombatHandFan: Pyrope's main weapon, coherent with her LadyOfWar and elegant baroque fashion style.
* TheDragon: Pyrope ''thinks'' Demantoid is this to her, but it's {{Subverted}} in that Demantoid has her own plans, and cooperates with Pyrope for logistical support only.
* EvilPowerVacuum: What they want to profit from, taking the place of the Diamonds after Steven dismantled the empire.
* HamAndDeadpanDuo: Pyrope is a self-obsessed ham while Demantoid speaks in a robotic manner.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Pyrope believes that she should lead Era 3 because all of her Gems love her, even though her colonies are shown to be in shambles and the Gems living there are utterly miserable.
* MeaningfulName:
** Pyropes are said to enhance the charm and charisma of their owner. However, they are used to provide energy to carry on one's endeavours, but this Pyrope is an OrcusOnHisThrone who's delusional over her own charisma and likability.
** Demantoids provide brightness of mind, and their name means "similar to a diamond", fitting since this Demantoid wants to take over the Gem empire in place of the Diamonds. On the ironic side, they are said to reduce loneliness, while she prefers to act on her own.
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:After their defeat,]] Demantoid's anger takes over her cold, taciturn demeanor, and Pyrope does the same with her noble lady act.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Pyrope spends the whole game in her room and only fights the Crystal Gems when they reach her there.
* PaletteSwap: They look ''very'' similar to Hessonite, which makes sense, since they're the same Gem type.
* PimpedOutDress: Pyrope wears one.
* PropagandaMachine: Gems living on their colonies are forbidden from receiving transmissions from the outside world.
* SelfDisposingVillain: [[spoiler:After the Crystal Gems defeat the light monster, Demantoid and Pyrope get into a fight and poof each other.]]
* ShowgirlSkirt: Pyrope's.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Demantoid is a green, short Gem dependent on limb enhancers much like a pre HeelFaceTurn Peridot. Adding to the similarities, they're both Era 2 Gems, and that period's scarcity of resources caused their short statures.
* UpperClassTwit: Pyrope's plan amounts to locking herself in a fortress and then stealing the credit for Demantoid's work. She also is one of the few characters who [[TheDitz does not see through Hessonite's disguise]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Demantoid agrees with Steven that a new era is necessary for Gemkind to advance. Unfortunately, she thinks it's necessary to destroy the remaining colonies to create it.

[[folder:Aubergine Pearl]]
[[quoteright:193:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aubergine_pearl.png]]
->'''Voiced By:''' Deedee Magno-Hall
A dark purple Pearl who is now working as a tour guide in Homeworld.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's unknown what Gem she belonged to.
* MsExposition: Fitting for her role as a tour guide. She's lecturing other Gems about Homeworld's history and current state.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Besides the Crystal Gem Pearl, she's the only Pearl so far who isn't shown wearing leotards. She also has uniquely narrowed eyes.
* PrimAndProperBun: Oddly enough, it resembles a turban.

[[caption-width-right:350:Flint (right) and Chert (left)]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Michaela Dietz (Chert), Kimberly Brooks (Flint)
Two Quartzes that were shattered some time ago and are now put back together by Yellow Diamond.

* AllThereInTheScript: Their names are only mentioned in the credits.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Flint's pants and boots fade from white to black, as if they were covered in flint.
* BackFromTheDead: Courtesy of Yellow Diamond.
* DevelopmentGag: They were supposed to be part of the Off-Colors, but were scrapped because of how they chose to act, rather than being a permafusion or made with a defect. Now they found their way back into the series.
