Appearance
Aquamarine is a small Gem. She wears a blue vest over a dark blue dress with a white collar. The top part of her dress that is not covered by her vest is diamond shaped, and it also gives the impression that she is wearing a tie. She also wears white leggings, white gloves, dark blue flats, and a blue bow that she can turn into her wand. She has light blue skin, blue eyes, and chin length, sky blue hair, with the sides shaped like two triangles. She appears to lack a nose and even nostrils. Her gemstone is located below her left eye, and it is shaped like a tear. Her water wings are shaped like butterfly wings.

Personality
Aquamarine is a very bossy Gem, ordering Topaz to do most of their mission's work. She is shown to be aggressively playful, shoving Steven into a tree with her wand in "Are You My Dad?".

Aquamarine behaves like a child and is very narcissistic, believing that she is better than everyone else. She calls herself "the best" because of the Diamonds sending her to Earth. Aquamarine also has a short temper, and whines when things don't go her way. She is shown to be quite manipulative, threatening Steven to comply with her demands in exchange for the lives of his friends and using a loophole to feign ignorance on her mission in capturing Steven as "my dad" from the Diamonds' order just to complete the mission quickly and leave earth, knowing fully well that Steven is not "my dad". She also shows that is willing to negotiate when she sees something of interest, when she discovers that Steven has Rose Quartz's gemstone she accepts taking him and abandon her original mission against the orders given to her. Additionally, there are hints of sadism, as she makes satisfied expressions when hurting people.

History
Aquamarine and Topaz are sent to Earth personally by Blue and Yellow Diamond to retrieve the humans Steven mentioned in his first interaction with Peridot in "Marble Madness" for Pink Diamond's Zoo. Aquamarine, and likely Yellow Diamond as well, mistake the humans Steven mentioned for "varieties" of human rather than specific individuals.

"Doug Out"
Aquamarine and Topaz chase down Onion at Beach City Funland during the middle of the night. When Doug Maheswaran calls out, Aquamarine drops a fence on him. Once Doug, Steven, and Connie leave the scene, Aquamarine and Topaz approach Onion and capture him.

"The Good Lars"
Aquamarine and Topaz capture Lars while he is on his way to the Cool Kids' party. After the party, the duo capture Sadie while she is walking home.

"Are You My Dad?"
Aquamarine and Topaz capture Jamie when he is out to deliver Steven's khakis. Later on at Funland Arcade, Aquamarine approaches Steven and asks him if he is "my dad". Upon realizing that he is not, Aquamarine flies away in disappointment. Aquamarine is later found by Steven and Connie in a forest, where Aquamarine asks Connie if she is "my dad". When Steven mentions Connie's name, Aquamarine becomes excited and calls out for Topaz, telling her that she "found one". Once Topaz captures Connie, Aquamarine tells her not to bother with Steven since he is not "my dad". Aquamarine then summons her wand, paralyzes Steven, and launches him at a tree. Aquamarine and Topaz leave the scene to hunt down their final human.

"I Am My Mom"
Aquamarine and Topaz hide in Funland, but are later found by Steven and the Crystal Gems. Aquamarine points out how Steven knows everyone on their list, and that the list did come from a Steven. Aquamarine tells the Crystal Gems that they'll leave the Crystal Gems alone if they tell them where they can find "my dad". Steven is confused by this, causing Aquamarine to explain that Yellow Diamond asked for "my dad, a Connie, a Lars, a Sadie, a mailman, and an Onion... I think", which was specified in a report by Peridot.

When the Crystal Gems go to attack the duo, Aquamarine effortlessly uses her wand to paralyze Pearl and launch her into the sky. At some point, Aquamarine gets annoyed by the fighting, and threatens to kill each of the humans if the Crystal Gems don't tell her where "my dad" is. When Steven tells her that he is "my dad", Aquamarine is suspicious, but believes it so she can leave the Earth and finish the mission. Aquamarine summons her ship and taunts the Crystal Gems with the captured Steven and humans.

On the ship, Aquamarine goes to set a course for Homeworld, and is furious when Steven manages to free everyone from Topaz. She orders the Topazes not to let them escape, and to contain them again before they leave the atmosphere. When Steven finds a way out and everyone jumps in the water, Aquamarine uses her wand to paralyze everyone. Steven reveals himself to be Rose Quartz and offers himself in lieu of his friends. Aquamarine agrees, as Rose Quartz is a much bigger prize, and she and Topaz then take Steven onto their ship alone and fly away towards Homeworld.

Skillset

 * Water Wings: Aquamarine can summon fairy-like water wings on her back to fly around or evade enemies during combat. They have a noticeably sharper shape than Lapis Lazuli's water wings.


 * Speed: Aquamarine can disappear from sight in mere seconds.

Additional Tools

 * Wand: Aquamarine has a blue wand that rests in her hair to look like a bow and stiffens itself when activated.
 * Tractor Beam: Similar to Peridot's limb enhancer tractor beam, Aquamarine can produce a light blue beam from her wand and uses it to move objects around with ease. Her beam is powerful enough to stop a large and powerful fusion like Alexandrite and several humans simultaneously.

Topazes
Aquamarine is superior in rank to the Topazes, and as such, the Topaz fusion obeys her orders without hesitation.

 * Aquamarine's lepidopteran-like design is the second time butterflies have been depicted as a negative motif, the first being the "anxiety butterflies" in Mindful Education.
