History Characters / StevenUniverseYellowDiamondsCourt

* CryCute: Eyeball in "Back to the Moon" when she sees Jasper (who's really Amethyst in disguise).

* KnifeNut: Eyeball's gem weapon is a chisel-like dagger.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Gets captured by Hessionite's ship during its own attempt to finish Hessionite's mission.]]

A pompous Homeworld commander that appears in ''VideoGame/SaveTheLight'' as an antagonist. She is a Homeworld Garnet.

* BrokenAce: Should you prevail in the final battle, [[spoiler:Hessonite will reveal that she suffers from severe self-doubt, believing she needed the Prism (rather than ''it'' needing ''her'') in order to be perfect despite her own formidable skills]].

* HeelFaceTurn: As of ''VideoGame/UnleashTheLight''.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Unlike the other Homeworld Gems, she almost completely ignores the Crystal Gems in favor of getting back her favorite weapon. [[spoiler:And depending on the ending, she decides to go on a journey of self-discovery rather than report the presence of the Crystal Gems to Homeworld.]]

* LightIsNotGood: She has a bright orange color scheme and light-based powers, but she is definitely not a hero.

** [[spoiler:Later subverted in Unleash the Light, as she's pulled more or less a full HeelFaceTurn]].

* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: To Jasper.
** Both are powerful gems of Yellow Diamond's court who fought in the war, are highly confident in their abilities, and are initially dismissive of the Crystal Gems. However, while Jasper shows the need to [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex constantly prove her strength]], Hessonite is so confident in her abilities that she sees no need to prove herself.
** Furthermore, it's shown that while Jasper refuses to see Steven as anything but Rose, Hessonite acknowledges that Steven's a separate entity from Rose.
** Finally, [[spoiler:while Jasper remains obsessed with fusion to the point where it becomes her downfall, Hessonite eventually gives up on getting the Prism back after acknowledging Steven's wisdom in letting it be free.]]

* RoyalRapier: Uses a rapier in battle, as befitting her high rank in the gem hierarchy. Its design actually seems similar to Rose's sword, except for a more slender blade.

* CharacterDevelopment: Downplayed in "Back to the Moon" compared to "Hit the Diamond". She's still a guillable ForgetfulJones, but talks a bit more often, shows more emotion, and is more comfortable with holding the Rubies so they can all fuse.

* NotSoDifferent: Topaz and Topaz initially seem to just be a living weapon, exactly what Peridot accused Garnet of being. Turns out that, also like Garnet, being fused together constantly gave them a strong emotional bond which led to them having sympathy for others. And like Ruby and Sapphire, they find the idea of being forcibly separated terrifying.

* TheStoic: She's usually an ArrogantKungFuGuy take on this, rarely losing her poise when addressing her foes.

->'''Voiced by''': Jinkx Monsoon\\\

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: the war veteran Tomboy to Aquamarine’s Snobby Girly girl.

* ZettaiRyouiki: She has Grade B with her leotard and knee-high tights.

** NotSoStoic: She throws quit a fit when she gets angry by the Prism's defiance. [[spoiler: And she's much goofier and dramatic in Unleash the Light.]]

* WakeUpCallBoss: DualBoss version with Aquamarine. They mark the first time the Gems have gone up against an EliteMook [[spoiler:and ''almost effortlessly'' beats ALL of them, including '''Alexandrite.''']]
** They're also one antagonist that [[spoiler: reverts to evil ''after'' being talked down by Steven. For all Steven's positivity, the Diamond Authority is ''too huge'' for some gems to consider rebelling.]]

* TheSouthpaw: While hand-dominance never comes up, the three whose gems aren't centered on their bodies have them on the left side.

* ShoutOut: In episode 10 of the Official Steven Universe Podcast, [[WordOfGod Rebecca Sugar]] noted that the Zircons' monocles were references to [[http://www.messynessychic.com/2016/09/14/inside-le-monocle-the-parisian-lesbian-nightclub-of-the-1930s/ Le Monocle]], a pre-WWII Paris nightclub that catered to lesbians (for women at the time, wearing a monocle was the equivalent of a modern-day gay pride symbol). Their [[GagNose prominent noses]] were based on [[Franchise/ArchieComics Jughead Jones]].

* VocalDissonance: Giant, imposing gems with a sweet, gentle voice.

* NotSoStoic: She throws quit a fit when she gets angry by the Prism's defiance.

* {{Adorkable}}: Her saying Earth is a lovely planet and displaying PerformanceAnxiety in front of the Crystal Gems come across as endearing.

* {{Adorkable}}: Her ForgetfulJones tendencies and habit of doing a SecurityCling on Eyeball are adorable.

* IronicName: "Hessonite" comes from "hesson", ancient Greek for "inferior".

* MeaningfulName: Except for Doc, all their nicknames are based on where their gems are located. On top of that, Navy and Army are also names for military branches (appropriate for members of a warrior caste). Doc is most likely a nod to the ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' character, a.k.a. the de facto but idiotic leader to a group of diminutive people. It's also an unintentional pun: when the squad fuses, Doc is the middle gem - all the other Rubies 'dock' with her as the arms, legs and head.
